Unless the people are wearing outfits, it's doubtful that a human would know that one person is a Nobel Winning Physicist and the other is a NeoNazi. (twist: a person could be both)
Even ignoring the whole Windows 8 -> Windows 10 EULA, couldn't this just be said as "Microsoft issued automatic update that failed and made the device perform worse"?
because muh bandwidth. Anything not related to the content I shouldn't have to download. Much like how I cut out all the ads in a magazine so I don't have to carry around its combined weight.
Especially since right now fans can't even make a Star Trek movie without being sued. That's the complete opposite of the no-cash society depicted in those movies.
If the fans embraced the no-cash society and didn't ask for money for the film, they wouldn't have been sued.
I didn't read the article. This is bad because it's Mozilla. Mozilla, much like Microsoft, can do no right, even when they do the exact opposite of the thing we called them out on before.
Oh, so way to get around shitty apps with a broken permission model? It might be better to find an alternative, that way they'd see their install rate drop and do something about it?
Where Google can discontinue something at any time.
Discontinue what? HTML and JavaScript? They could discontinue all of Android if you want to go that route.
Or if you have no internet access, it may as well not exist.
There are ways to get your web app to store stuff onto your device so it's usable offline.
And you are depending on a third party.
What third party? The website? How is that different than an app that is no longer updated that has security holes and/or doesn't work with a newer OS version?
I don't trust web apps, many of them vanish. I have applications I have had for 20 years. And mobile apps I have had for almost 5 years.
There are few web sites viable for 10 years or even 5 years and sometimes not even 2 years or 6 months.
Apps can vanish too. Google (maybe Apple too?) can even uninstall them from your device.
What is still missing is just "faking" permissions, i.e. you have permission to open my contacts, but I have none... or my camera is just filming in the dark. Cyanogenmod had that, but I'm not sure why Google hasn't decided to use it.
What exactly would you expect the app to do with "fake" "empty" contacts vs just saying it can't access them? In the end you can't use whatever feature it's offering, so why add complexity?
Why would Microsoft let you play Xbone "console exclusive" games on any generic Windows 10 PC
Because Microsoft loses money on every sale of the hardware of an Xbox One. If people don't even have to buy the hardware, then it's a win for Microsoft.
The reserve militia[3] are part of the unorganized militia defined by the Militia Act of 1903 as consisting of every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age who is not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
So no guns for women, the handicapped, nor men over 45?
Both the store I was in, and those sites, sell things that are handmade by a person. Yes some of the items on those sites are mass produced, but not all.
You were under the impression that no website existed that sold "unique hand-crafted items". I cited 3, but instead you chose to ignore that selection and focus on the ones that didn't fit that description, and then act like that's all those sites sold.
How do you know it was bad information? Why are you white knighting the internet so much?
Technology does tend to kill off/greatly reduce other businesses. I'm not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing, just that it's a thing that happens.
Was that one of the shady camera shops that sold illegal imports as US new? There were piles of those in Brooklyn, and the Internet killed them, not through sales, but in exposing their fraud. They also made money on taking back returns, re-selling them, and not refunding the original purchaser. So they defrauded two people in that, selling used gear as new, and ripping off the original buyer.
So yes, the Internet shut down some of those shops, but if the Internet was so deadly, why didn't Crutchfield, who was catalog-only before the Internet, also die after the Internet? Oh yeah, they weren't fraudsters, but had a reasonable product at a reasonable price.
No it was the kind of place that sold mostly handmade trinkets and jewelry. They weren't fraudsters, they probably didn't have the budget to do a catalog like Crutchfield though I'm not sure.
It's nice that Crutchfield lived on, that doesn't disprove that the internet may have killed some brick and mortar stores, only that it didn't kill all brick and mortar stores... and.. actually given Crutchfield isn't brick and mortar, it doesn't (dis)prove anything.
You... do you know that I was agreeing with you, but was jokingly pretending to be the sort of people (often found here) that don't understand that their needs/wants are the same as everyone else's... right?
I had a Galaxy Nexus for a couple of years, and virtually everything I hated about it most were things Google was either known to have advocated or something their execs handwaved away as non-issues (battery life in particular was terrible.)
That's a really unfortunate phone on which to base your opinion of Nexus.
Before you say "well there are stores that didn't",
Do you know any stores that did?
Actually yes. While anecdotal, I was in a store that was having their final day and the owner specifically mentioned that the reason they were closing was people shop online instead. This was in Brooklyn, I say that because New York City has no Wal-Mart.
Slashdot Mirror
Embedded, IoT and robotics are awash with 32 bit x86 stuff.
How many of those run Ubuntu or OpenSUSE?
So says someone who is living in a City...
Well the article did say "of the 50 largest cities in the country"
Exactly which "facts" do you think that women have problems accepting?
If a field happens to be dominated by males (by it being > 50% male) it is not from deliberate sexism.
I don't happen to think all women (nor no men) feel that way, as that in and of itself, is sexist.
because those are two entirely different things most likely handled by two entirely different people/groups.
This one sounds like it was a blind spot in Tesla's sensor system (and has been related to another crash).
Then update the hardware/software to account for it.

Why 2/3s?.
Because by that point the whiners will demand 3/4 as a constantly moving goal post because M$ can do no right.
...There's a strong likelihood that they're finally going to kill their proprietary connector on the iPhone in favor of USB-C.
HAHAHA Apple kill a proprietary connector??

I evaluated ... whether there would be online competition for unique hand-crafted items. There isn't.
Never heard of Etsy then?
I could understand if you weren't familiar with other options, though.
