No probs. I didn't reply in general because I didn't have anything more to say on the topic.
You're absolutely right, this closes off a lot of legal avenues to get at spammers and whitelisting domains only solves the problems directly for the receiver of said spam.
No cops should act carefully and preserve life and process. That does not mean they should be slow. The rest of the world has no problem with fast cops executing the people who called for help in the first place.
It pretty much used to mean that, and largely still does when interpretted as intended.
Not even remotely. In fact Moore was quite explicit in what he defined as a component in his observation and prediction. "a component being a transistor, resistor, diode or capacitor, in an integrated structure"
Just because work is now split up into multiple cores doesn't make the single die any less of an integrated structure, and doesn't change the purpose of the law which was to count functions on an IC.
Moore's law doesn't even take into account the physical size of the IC. So even if transistors stayed the same, simply throwing double the cores at the problem and making the chip twice as large still is very much Moore's original observation which had everything to do with manufacturing cost when he defined his law.
You can make up whatever you want. It won't make it any less wrong when discussing what someone explicitly said in a paper.
Yes. If I make imagery, I certainly wouldn't preview them on a smartphone
I know a 2" screen on the back of a camera is much better.
nor would I ever re-hire someone who did
I also apply stupid criteria to my hiring decisions! Like I don't hire photographers who don't own a backpack with compartments. Because let's face it, their method is far more important than the work they would produce.
Hell man - travel and scene setup is expensive, and especially if you are going for print medium, you simply are not going to see it on a smartphone.
Really? Personally my own most expensive commissioned work cost me $4.30 (two metro fares) and 20min. But yay let's generalise.
I lug around whatever equipment I have to to do a proper job.
Yeah so does everyone.
Editing is performed on a desktop with a good calibrated monitor.
Of course it is. You'd be mad not to. However last time I returned from vacation I already had the initial cull and basic exposure adjustments completed on all my photos. Editing became much shorter, and my flight seemed shorter too. Unless you have a fixed studio you don't do your initial checking on your calibrated monitor.
Dude the OS is dumping highly sensitive data in the equivalent of a.txt file...
A process that was also present in Windows 8 which introduced the feature. Just because it was discovered NOW doesn't back up the notion that security has gotten worse under Nudella. It only serves to reinforce how shitty it was under Balmer and that it hasn't gotten any better.
BTW look up "Windows 10 vulnerability" to see that yeah their security is going downhill
Look up Windows 8 vulnerability to see that it hasn't budged. Or maybe compare it to Windows 7 pre-SP1 days. Windows security is a joke, but it always has been. It has historically and universally taken several years of bug fixing to fundamentally fix security flaws.
However, I think you are being a bit rough on the Unix desktop interfaces et al.
Interfaces? Who is talking about interfaces? I'm talking about the way that Unix is built from the ground up. It is the single perfect system for a stable environment (I said not suitable for desktop which isn't true since there are stable desktop environments). However consumer needs have trended away from that too.
Consumers do not offer their OS stable environments. They offer various performance needs, battery life, desires for sleep, constantly live changing hardware configurations, bouncing between networks, sometimes live, sometimes while asleep, devices wake up in different timezones or are suddenly docked or suddenly missing an entire keyboard. The problem there is a system that is fundamentally built up of individual programs does not handle change very well. We used to laugh at the notion of "plug and play" in Windows while in the unix world we were hotswapping hardware in ways that would make a Windows admin drool. We had to do a bit of typing to get things going but ultimately we were superior as the "competitors" reaction to a changing environment was a popup asking for a reboot.
Then consumer needs caught up which fundamentally wasn't a problem until the consumer created the expectation of an OS reacting at every level to an external change. That's where classic Unix and Linux utterly fails and every attempt to bring it inline with those expectations has been almost universally hated by the old guard (for some good reasons, a system reacting automatically to the environment is inherently "unstable").
You've added nothing of value - not even a suggestion for where to start researching.
Apologies for typing on a phone. I guess we should all aim to provide something valuable to the discussion. Maybe you should consider doing that yourself sometime.
This would seem like a perfect time to say "So sue me!". "Urban exploration" differs from breaking and entering in that absolutely no one gives a shit.
He is a pedophile, just trying to stay on the barely legal age of it. You don't go as an adult and pay someone who just ticked into the legal age because you're not interested in fucking as young as possible. If this was Sweden he'd had been fucking a 14 year old.
I have lost trust in Americans. I went through 38 years of talking with sane reasoning Americans, but then I saw a guy by the name of Andy Smith say something silly online and now I can't trust any of them anymore.
If you want to do what's best for society then you also need to behave consistently.
You can do both by looking at everything in front of you case by case objectively rather than painting it with the red or blue brush. That is not hypocrisy, that is the government working, something that hasn't happen in a while.
No the problem is ultimately that the government doesn't have the slightest interest in this. We are talking about breaking up Facebook now, but only 4 years ago greenlighted a huge mega billion dollar acquisition of WhatsApp. That went through the regulator at the time, as does every merger and acquisition.
The government most definitely can already with the existing regulations prevent these mega companies from forming monopolies, but they just don't do it. Facebook has acquired 3 companies this year alone with zero opposition. What makes anyone think they will be broken up?
A) same way they always do B) presumably they were on the other side of the link C) where does it say the sex act was in Taiwan. I mean I jumped to that conclusion too, but all that is said is he was arrested in Taiwan after his passport was revoked. Nothing about why he was there. D) by asking. Passports get revoked for all sorts of reasons by all sorts of sources, usually not due to a federal case E) he had formal documented, his passport. The revoked status doesn't make him stateless, it makes him unable to legally be outside his home state.
Except for the part where both acts were illegal on the jurisdiction where they were committed. Maybe she shouldn't have pulled his cock out on Sweden and stuck to screwing sleeping American women instead. Maybe Wilson should have had sex with a 16 year old prostitute in Sweden instead.
Just because something doesn't fit your definition doesn't make it legal.
Why did this management team have to be such dicks?
There's nothing "dick" about it. Expediting getting rid of people limits the amount of damage a disgruntled person can do. Usually you don't actually need to clean out your desk, your food, drink, and suits will be waiting for you to pick up at the reception tomorrow.
You push the button and a Huawei rep arrives via helicopter, whips out a Nikon D5, "gets the shot", and uploads it to your Huawei cloud for you before flying off into the sunset (or sunrise in Europe, faster to get back to China).
Unix solved most of the problems associated with an operating system.
Whose problems? Techheads? Unix solved pretty much no consumer facing problems at all. In fact when I think of bloated slow shit I often go to flip a coin as to whether to pick Windows 10 or a Unix system running X11. Then I put the coin away when I remember at the push of a button my Windows 10 machine will be instantly awake from sleep and running while the Unix system chugs along trying to fix the broken services that all couldn't cope with the changed conditions between the last wake and sleep state.
Unix solved the problems associated with a *server* operating system. It is well and truly not suitable for a desktop. It's quite telling that Apple pulled out a bit of a kernel, and then threw the rest of the Unix philosophy in the bin to make a good desktop OS.
It was once revealed to me that for about 15 cents more per tire manufacturers could make tires that could last the entire life of a car. They choose not to for just this reason.
Sure but then you lose in other areas. Tires are graded in a great many ways:
Grip in dry Grip in wet Grip in the wam Grip in the cold Summer Winter Profile Size Road noise Maximum speed Wear performance.
All those balance. You won't ever find a tire that maximises all of them regardless of how much money someone throws at the problem.
This fantasy that consumers always go for the cheapest product is false
I bet you he does even for the car example. Just because you buy the cheapest doesn't mean you don't also have a criteria. That criteria will include a lot of things for a car like interior, engine, size, but quite rarely include thoughts about environmental impact or longevity beyond the minimum expected life (for a car that will be: needs to last just long enough for me to sell it and buy a new one).
If people cared about quality like you say, China wouldn't have the economy it does. They pretty much never competed in quality on a consumer level.
But if you can't eliminate them by whitelisting country TLDs then surely the resulting problem wasn't caused by TLDs in the first place... Or am I not understanding your example?
Yeah, using tools made for the job is lacking imagination. I'm trying to imagine the prime professional work of a professional using a smartphone for photography.
What other quick auto preview monitor that can apply the predefined functions of your fancy macbook would your recommend for said professional for sub $1000 (or more accurately sub $600 since a halfway decent phone costs money too)? Do you lug around yet another piece of special purpose kit when instead you can achieve the job you require on something that multi-tasks? To be clear I didn't say I know anyone who uses *the camera* in their smartphone in a photoshoot. That would be outright silly.
Next up you are going to tell me that a smartphone cameras are the equal of a good DSLR.
Of course! In many situations they are way better than a DSLR. Why just the other day the smartphone I had with me at the stadium was infinitely better than my 50mpxl camera that was at home. The smartphone I had in my pocket skiing likewise since it was kind enough not to break my rib and puncture my lung like my DSLR would have when I landed on my chest.
But using a smartphone cam or a Diana can be creative because it creates limitations that feed the creative process.
I could almost get behind this comment but to be honest a smartphone isn't suitable. It tries too hard to be a quality camera to permit "creative processes". The result is often just an average looking picture. Quite unlike say loading a 35mm spool into the Diana. If you're going to go creative, go creative, don't just go sub par.
Define very fast. I bet you mine is faster. Can it multitask as well as mine? Does it playback 6K videos smoothly? Will it chug trying to find text in a 450 page PDF document?
If you answered no to any of the above then you don't have a "very fast" pocket computer. You have a basic one suitable for plebs who treat it like a phone with a Facebook app.
