Really? All the articles I see say that the problem was a faulty lookup table. No one says the lookup table was subjected to a formal proof of correctness.
Why is all the stuff broke? Why does all the stuff have holes in it? Why isn't there any stuff that isn't broke?
Because it's too complicated. There are too many possible failure modes and many of them can't be seen without a large effort to see them. About the only thing that might eliminate the holes is formal proofs, but that requires not only a complete revamp of how we code but makes coding itself immensely more difficult.
ARM processors from now on. All this stuff is broke.
ARM processors are just as broke as everything else. There's just fewer people looking to uncover the holes.
Differs from the US in that in, the US, the penny is a coin, not a monetary unit (the monetary unit is the cent--a pound is 100 pence, a penny is 1/100 of a pound, but a dollar is 100 cents and a cent is 1/100 of a dollar) and is pluralized as "pennies".
That's mainly because the misplaced modifier in "it only happens in tech" doesn't confuse because it makes no sense to apply "only" to "happens" ("This is the only thing that happens in tech; nothing else does").
The person who needs to return to grammar school, it appears, is you. Adverbs can modify other adverbs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb). Propoositional phrases can act as adverbs (http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/prepositionalphrase.htm). So it perfectly kosher for "only" to relate to "in tech", as it does in this sentence.
Note to the movie industry: Dungeons and Dragons is a rules framework upon which stories are built, not a story itself. Making a "D&D" movie is like basing a film off "Hoyle's Book of Games."
That's exaggerating. D&D provides a fully worked-out setting that would work equally well for a movie, and even provides pre-made adventures to play. Granted, there are people who don't use the setting, and they're not likely to make a module into movie--though they may well use some the characters there. But there's still a lot more to work with to make a movie out of than there is in Hoyle's.
EU so far does not have any dictatorships as members
Hungary's getting pretty damn close. In fact, I'd say Hungary is closer to one than Turkey. Last election in Turkey, the ruling party didn't get a majority of the seats in parliament and had to form an alliance with a party it doesn't control. That's not something you generally see in a dictatorship.
In addition to inevitable losses in the machinery, any heat engine (which is what any fossil fuel or nuclear power plant is) generates usable power from the difference in temperature between your heat reservoir and your cold reservoir (where you dump your wate heat). This difference imposes a basic limit to how much heat you'll convert to usable work, that efficiency being greater with a greater temperature difference. This efficiency ceiling is known as the Carnot limit. The reminder of the heat generated must be lost as waste heat. For the average power plant, the Carnot limit is around 60% (the average car engine, which is also a Carnot heat engine, has a limit of about 25% to 30%). Other losses reduce the efficiency to about 40%, so he's actually about right here (he needs an education in electric circuit design, though; he doesn't understand AC to DC retification at all).
Umm, writing this off does not in anyway improve their bottom line.
Actually, this is pretty common trick to improve the bottom line. It doesn't improve the bottom line in that quarter, of course, but the single huge writeoff concentrates all the losses in the one quarter, making all the other quarters look better. Management then passes off the one bad quarter as an anomaly.
"Letter of Marque" is a shortened form, but still correct. And it was exclusively a nautical thing; I've never heard of anything really similar on land, probably because it would be even more dangerous there.
i think its that from a business perspective, everything - no matter how hacky, is 'good enough'.
From a business perspective, only "it runs" is understood. Attempting to explain hidden weaknesses goes completely ignored, because it is not comprehended.
Might be technically true that they aren't deleted, but they can get marked "off topic" and disappear from all but the most determined efforts to find them.
Because selecting "-1" from the drop-down box is soooo hard...

We do? I'd love to hear it, then, because I haven't heard anything of the sort.
Ewwww.....
That's why we have Windows 10. It's got twice as many improvements as Windows 9 would've had!
How about Wozniak? Of course, he had the good luck to be partnered with somebody good at business, at least for a while.

...how great the last D&D movie was, right?

...your adapter is a piece of shit. A good one will give you 80% to 90%. I'll assume his other figures have similar accuracy.

I'm worried that the only people they'll successfully attack are the innocent. The actual guilty parties will be well hidden and well protected.
Ah, yes, politician's logic. "Something must be done. This is something. Therefore we must do it."
You may want to remember that the first deckers went insane from the shock of facing the Matrix...

Well, gee, I always wanted live in a game of Shadowrun. It may only be soy, chummer, but at least I got a full set of flavor faucets!
...but I wouldn't name a food "Soylent" and then brag about how green it is...

Didn't they get in each other's way?

And what do you do if Solitaire refuses to run if it can't contact the ad servers, hm?
