Remember when the Apple mouse had one button while all of the others had more than that? Except Microsoft didn't limit mice connecting to Windows to just two buttons.
If that's the case then they should be bumping the person the Marshall is concerned about. That way the flight is "safe" and the taxpayers don't have to pay for the overtime, flight, hotel, or anything else.
Just because that section of code hasn't been updated in 7 years doesn't mean that people aren't using that feature. It just means that feature is working well enough that the developers haven't had to modify that code. It hasn't caused any major problems and if there are any bugs filed then they have been relatively minor so that not working on them hasn't impacted the rest of the browser.
That is just the amount the NZ government contributed to the project. The other partners also contributed money and resources. The total cost wasn't released.
It's very hard to measure things like worker retention and recruiting from a two month trial. The novelty factor along would boost the number of applicants for jobs or on the off chance that a position might come up. Long term trials at a number of companies need to be done.
Making the assumption that you are watching Netflix using Chrome is a bit strange. And no, I didn't see that your IP-based location is wrong. I don't make the habit of finding out the IP and address of people I'm replying to and see if they match up.
It's not that uncommon to see people using their phones to access Netflix or some other streaming service when I take the bus. And I didn't assume, I dealt with the non-mobile user in my first paragraph. The article is about how two States want Netflix to deliver alerts and I was saying how it could be done. Your solution to give your ZIP code doesn't solve the mobile problem which the politicians would probably insist on because, as stated in the summary, some people turn off the alerts on their phones.
As if they would believe a picture that so many people with Photoshop could easily create today as oppose to something that was much, much harder to "fake" in the 1970's. If they don't believe the video that came back and the reflectors that were left behind then they aren't going to believe a picture from a telescope.
Like the US never ordered around companies based in other countries and made them follows US laws. As in punishing European companies for doing business in Iran 90 days after the US pulled out of the agreement to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Those companies were legally doing business in Iran as per the agreement which Iran was complying with.
That's fine as long as you aren't watching Netflix on a mobile device. If you don't use a VPN it won't need to ask you for your Zip code because you IP will tell the app where you live.
Alerts get broadcast out to everyone. The app can ask to get the location of the device. When sending out the alert they send out the area that they want it to take place. The app sees if the location is in the area of the alert and if it is then shows the alert. Requires you to grant access to the GPS/location services in order to use the app. Not very difficult.
I don't like the idea of these alerts because most of the time they are useless. They are far too widespread for one thing. Amber alerts were great when they were shown on signs above the highways. People who were driving in the area got the message.
As for other messages, like an incoming missile, the traditional systems along with social media and SMS messages are plenty. Anyone who doesn't get the message directly will soon find out from the confusion (panic?) going on.
Probably the best thing to do would be to stop the gerrymandering of the districts. In Canada there is an independent third-party organization that sets the ridings (districts) according to a strict set of rules.
It doesn't matter how good the engineer designing the CPU is. They are given the specs for the CPU. During the design they have to make choices to achieve the requirements and any choices that they feel uncomfortable about will be sent up to management to be signed off on. You can be certain that any design choices that trade speed for security in order to make the requirements will have had management made aware and sign off. Upper management at Intel, in this case but at all chip designing companies, have a roadmap for their processors and the engineers made the best trade-offs they thought to meet their goals. Management was more concerned on meeting their goals than putting out secure chips.
I hope everyone in the lower ranks kept their emails with the sign-offs.
That's why nobody is surprised that this demo is disappointing. The whale and other demos they gave in the past were supposed to have been done with their system. What the company has said that they have been doing in the time since them in shrinking the system down to something a person could wear. With this demonstration of a cowardly, rock-throwing creature that we've seen done before (and seen better on our phones) it is disappointing and one has to wonder where $2.3B of investment money has gone. It surely could have gone to better uses. Like a real robotic creature that throws 3D printed "rocks" at you using sensors to find you and AI to learn from misses.
His particular thing is the large female customers of Walmart, specifically Florida He's been hacking the security camera feeds for years and now if they implement this patent he can hear their voices too. He's in his special place now!
I loved the caption for the picture that said it was a wrist with a watch around the outside and showing finger bones in white. If that person has finger bones in their wrist it's a good thing they got an x-ray. I hope they also have a really good reconstructive surgeon to put them back where they belong.
The tendons run back from the fingers through the wrist and there are many bones in the in the wrist itself. They are called the wrist bones, strangely enough.
Zoho.com - There's a limit on space but I haven't come close to filling it. Single accounts are free but if you want more than five or 10 accounts on a domain then it starts to cost. They have other group tools available such as financial and CRM. I just have my email there using my domain and it's free. Very good service too.
There is concrete that is wasted too. Look at all of the stadiums that get built for the Olympics and the World Cup that go unused after the competition is over. Or how about sports teams, especially in North America, that move into new arenas/stadiums every 20 or 25 years just to have the "latest" toys available. I realize that it isn't much concrete when compared to how much is used in the whole world but it's symbolic of our wasteful ways.
While I agree that a lot of concrete goes to useful purposes there are also times it gets used because it's what has been used in the past. For example, laminated timber beams can be used in construction of buildings up to 8 or 10 stories tall and eliminate the need for concrete and (a lot of) steel. The buildings are just as safe and are faster to build. The world could get rid of a lot of concrete by moving to that technology. It has the benefit of locking the CO2 from the trees away.
They only collected sales taxes if they had a presence in the state. Internet sales worked like mail order or telephone sales do. Governments never went after those because it was never became a big enough percentage of sales like online sales have. And as other people have pointed out it is quite complex when you are selling items that can be taxed at three different levels (state, county, city) with three different set of rules and rates. It has been traditional to keep it to places where you have a physical presence as your company would be aware of the rules. Now basically every medium to large sized company needs to know the sales tax laws for every jurisdiction in the country and to keep up with all of their changes.
It's a bloody stupid decision that will force retailers to either subscribe to one or two software solutions which will limit their choice of operating systems (probably not going to run on Mac or Linux) or force them to sell everything through another online store that can easily handle the taxes but take a large cut (Amazon). This just becomes another hurdle to growing a company. When you are small but growing then expect an audit from the states you don't have a presence in if you don't use one of the two previously mentioned options.

So you're going to be buying an iPhone then?

Or maybe they are and it's you. :)

Code churn != use of feature
Maybe the site AlternativeTo.net could help you out. For example if you want Visio alternatives that run on Linux. But it depends on your needs.

Because the rest of the world uses cheques.

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins walked away satisfied that AWS wasn't "actively building a commercial network switch,"
Of course they didn't tell him that they had it already built so of course they were no longer actively building it.

Of course they are going to start from the ground up. It's much easier to start from the tires than hanging things off of the roof.

And in general accredited investors place realistic values on things.
