Yes and those laws have completely eliminated drunk driving as a problem and nobody ever talks on their phone while driving in a state where it's illegal. Spare me. Laws only provide a means to punish after the fact. They don't bring people back from the dead.
You make a good point with regards to drunk driving. Every driver should be required to do a breathalyzer before getting into the car, however since the technology isn't there to know it's the driver, we should make every single person entering a car take a breathalyzer beforehand.
What percentage of Android will be patched?
The 18% with 7/Nougat or better,
the 50% with 6/Marshmallow or better,
the 78% with 5/Lollipop or better,
the 92% with 4.4/Kitkat or better? https://developer.android.com/...
It's nothing like audiophiles. No matter your distance from an audio source, you cannot hear above about 22 kHz. So there's no point encoding at higher than 44 kHz. Ever.
But whether video exceeds the resolving capability of your eye depends on resolution and screen size and viewing distance. I have a 42" 1080p HDTV which is fine for most of my viewing. But on my projector which throws a 12' image, 1080p is woefully inadequate. The pixels are completely obvious and it's like viewing a movie through a screen mesh. I'm anxiously waiting for 4k projectors to come down in price, but at this screen size I suspect the optimal resolution is closer to 8k.
The same goes for VR headsets. Because the screens cover such a wide angle of view, (110 degrees on Samsung's latest), the pixel size is far larger than your eye's resolving capability. 20/20 vision can resolve line pairs with about 1 arc-minute of separation. So the optimal resolution for a VR screen 110 degrees wide is 110*60*2 = 13,200 pixels wide. We're not gonna get there for at least a couple more decades.
Sure, for something really large, or close to your face. I can see the use case for 4K or higher. However, most people going "ooh 4/8/16k" are buying it on their 40" TV and sitting 5' away.
If Microsoft software was high quality, bug-free, security-hole-free...
Please cite any software more complicated than "hello world" that meets those criteria. Also, why doesn't literally every other software maker have to meet those requirements.
I think this is a clear example of why we should be against monopolies. Microsoft didn't change out of the goodness of its heart. It got where it is now kicking and screaming.
I got this circular in the mail advertising products they had in stock, but then when I went to the store I had to pay for them?! Such false advertising!
Sure, some do, but the original comment and article is about paywalled sites as a whole, making no distinction between sites that are paywall only and paywall and advertising.
and yet the changing the "crappy architecture" (XUL -> WebExtensions) is what people bitch about.
They just want a browser to do everything under the sun, including perfectly work with any and all extensions that can do whatever they want to the browser, yet without any performance or security issues....
"these guys" meaning Apple right?

Those web applications for which navigation and form submission are insufficient can be rewritten as a native application.
Then those native applications can have bitcoin miners in them and we've come full circle.
What non-standardized APIs are you referring to?
What is stopping other browser vendors from having those same APIs?

and you need different driver's licenses, and different roads..and oh wait no.
Oh no! A single accident happened with a self driving car? I'd better go back to human controlled which has thousands of deaths a day.
They removed THING

That sort of thing isn't exclusive to monopolies.

So no effect on its ranking, but just an icon next to it? I'd honestly be fine with that.

TFA is about paywall sites. Sites that get their revenue from subscriptions instead of advertising.
This.
People shouldn't be paid for their work. I'm entitled to free content!
NO! This is change! Change is Bad!

What action did Google take here that broke antitrust laws?
So why should I change my behavior?
Winner:
Visual Studio
Clearly no one from Slashdot voted for that as it's made by Microsoft.

Since politicians' identities were compromised along with the unwashed masses, OF COURSE they are going to investigate and make it known.
