V8 inhereted all the great features of the Windows Store App, such as the inability to adjust any camera settings and the wonderful bug that prevents autoexposure working correctly.
What a win. I can only recommend it.... If you're ugly and you don't want anyone to see you during a video chat.
Wow, selection bias much? Talk about skewed. 100% of people I know use WhatsApp. Furthermore complete strangers contact me on WhatsApp, as do companies. I get my airline tickets sent to me through WhatsApp.
SMS? The only SMSes I have in my phone are from the government, microsoft, and Whatsapp themsevles in the form of 2FA codes and the one colleage I have in the UK where they don't use it as much.... dammit okay 99% of people I know use WhatsApp.
Also nuclear is cheap, you can see that in your own USofA which invested heavily in Nuclear early on, built quite a bit of it up and enjoys energy prices so low that many developed nations are envious.
Governments are the expensive part of nuclear power.
Well someone should have told that to the planet in the early Eocene then when temperatures were +12-14C above current levels
Who cares about the planet? Personally I care about the idiots living on it, and we would have told them about it in the Eocene period... if they existed.
Such as the facts that emissions lag several years behind the policies which initiate them and that that India and China are orders of magnitude infront of the USA when it comes to investment in renewables while the USA is driving an active anti-climate change agenda. Or like the fact that the USA per capita emissions are orders of magnitude higher than those in China and India.
Between the S7 and S9 developments which may justify the price were to be seen. E.g. the S9 supports Dex which effectively turns your phone into the brains of a desktop ala laptop in docking station.
I would gladly pay well over $1000 for a phone that replaces my laptop.
Meanwhile the iPhone X unlocks automagically when you stare at the ugly notch and sends animated poo. Progress!
I hope there's more to the thinking that the drivel put forward in the summary. Equating the learning of physical techniques, teach of muscle memory and movement is not the same thing getting an education.
You may not be able to learn to ride a horse on a computer, but you'll likely do just fine learning to solve differential equations and when to use who vs whom. Last I checked Mr Gates and the Zuck were not teaching people to play tennis via their tablets.
TFA is utterly stupid for multiple reasons. Doing something physical that relies on learning physical techniques is not the same as doing something mental that relies on learning mental processes.
You may not be able to use a computer to learn to ride a horse, that doesn't mean you are unable to do it to learn to solve differential equations.
If Microsoft would fix the implementation of the registry, then CCleaner wouldn't even be necessary.
I have to ask what it is you're doing with your computer that makes a registry cleaning tool like CCleaner "necessary". Do you test viruses and malware for a living? Or do you in general do things that don't make sense? Do you also still run SoftRAM and software that cleans your memory, defragments your SSD, and realigns your UDP packets?
People who lose the sight of the "end" (that is, maintaining a relationship with people you love) for the "means" (particular mechanisms by which you do it) annoy me.
In communication and especially conversation the means is often the end.
There are harms done by smartphones, but "killing the art of conversation" isn't one of them.
It's funny how these large-scale "computer glitches" seem to favor the bank and not the consumer.
Banking is a carefully balanced equation and any unbalance will always seem to favour the banks in some way. Only recently I read stories of glitches that had the opposite effect of the one described here, approved refinancing and mortgages rather than preventing them.
Guess who lost their houses: The people who then couldn't pay for the newly financed loans.
I mean, we have nurses [youtube.com] striking because their pay is too low
Strikes are rarely exclusively about pay, especially nurses striking. Often pay discussions are the straw that breaks the camel's back and makes for some nice soundbytes but really the answer was in the first few seconds of your video. When some group asks for pay rises that perfectly align with those of another group it's not about money as much as equality.
Lots of things get lumped in as "pay me more" especially in nursing around the world. But do a google search on nurse striking and you start seeing all sorts of things stacking up: - Understaffing in hospitals - Overworking in hospitals - Work hours inflexible / excessive - Agreed pay rises at or below rate of inflation leading to a decrease in income relative to cost of living. - Where I live it's actually about security. Nurses get attacked too much by patients.
Ultimately though when it gets down to it, if people are desperate enough to strike exclusively over pay then it's often because they aren't being paid enough to live. You can't have a source of meaning at work if you live in your car and have a diet existing of ramen.
You could love travelling on your own, but still only care about money from work.
So what you're saying is that holidays, time-off and flexible hours are important to you. Kind of exactly what we're talking about when we say "non monetary".
I hope you guys enjoy the backslash when hipsters start to realize that they can not connect to the net in their favourite hipster watering spot because they can not get to the captive portals...
I take it you don't realise that Firefox detects captive portals and brings up a bar across the top asking you to sign in, and that since Firefox is in control of when and how it makes requests this functionality is not affected?
May I recommend another slashdot story, the one suggesting we need more people studying liberal arts because the concept of "critical thinking" seems to be lost.
Oh lol yes. I fully agree. Companies have gone full retard fuelled with fear through stories that they will be made bankrupt by the EU for not doing something they weren't asked to do in the first place. I've seen this too in great variance:
a) blocking the EU completely b) serving different sites to EU with tracking cookies disabled c) serving full page confirmation dialogues d) a small banner e) doing nothing
The reality is a lot of places can get away with a combination of e and b. Those people freaking out that they have to disable logging on their server got really poor (or likely none) legal advice.
My gym here asked me to sign a GDPR form saying they need consent to the data they already have. I told them they are idiots since they already have consent on account of me filling out the paper form originally.
Even better one my colleagues is a scouts leader and told me a story about the management committee talking about getting the kids to take GDPR forms to their parents,... the only information they've collected are their parent's emergency contact details.
Indeed, but I'm saying these overlays have been there for 7 years. Nothing in the GDPR says they need to be obnoxious and take up the entire screen. I have seen plenty of cases where the existing cookie overlay simply was modified slightly for GDPR compliance.
He doesn't need to think that. It's a basic fact that the loading and rendering of larger more detailed content takes up almost no time at all. Likewise you seem to actually agree with him given you listed a whole lot of plugins that don't actually block what the GP was referring to.

Personally I prefer reliable baseload over cheap.

Yeah but what is a fact without interpretation?

Physician heal thyself.
There is no way those fuckers are going to get their hands on my financial data.
hahahaha you think by not using Facebook they don't have your data. That's cute.

You're hardcore man. I'm one of those SJW snowflakes that would prefer not to show up for Christmas, or any other public holiday.
Who am I kidding, on top of that I also prefer not to show up for 40 days a year and to have the flexibility to work from home.
You could love travelling on your own, but still only care about money from work.

Security issues aside this would result in some very strange behaviour on a misconfigured network:
- Different content being served to different applications.
- An apparent network outage for one application is transparent to the other.
If I put an address in, I want my browser to ask my OS to resolve it. Period. I don't want to search for the thing if it's not found.
Cool story. I want it to search. Go change the setting if you want. Or go pick a browser where the choice isn't available.

Re-read my comment, pay attention to the 3rd and 4th word.
One of the benefits of not having "as many" users period, is that you don't have "as many" stupid users.

An empty one.
