Many, if not most, of those restrictions (DRM, screenshots, device count, VPN, regional restrictions, subtitles, display aspect, etc) are not coming from Netflix themselves. Instead, they usually come from the licensing agreements they make with the 3rd-party content providers. It's a lot easier, from a legal perspective and potential user-confusion, to just make all those restrictions simply apply to all content, rather than try to selectively enforce them.
This needs to be voted up to the heavens, where it can shine above the insular heels that come up with corporate password policies.
Has it ever occurred to them that all those cracked-out, contradictory password requirements actually reduce entropy rather than the other way around? You can't come up with policies based on how you'd like people to act, you have to come up with policies based on how they do act.
You ever been on a jury? I have. These "peers" wouldn't know logic if it hit them in the face. It's all about emotional appeal and whether the defendant is easy on the eye.
I've been saying this for a decade. The conclusion didn't require a team of overpaid researchers to deduce.
And you can keep saying it for another decade and still be wrong. Up until recently there was no incentive to open up more rare earth mines because the Chinese were supplying everyone cheaply. But then they stopped and now rare earth mines are opening up, thus solving the supply issue. Amazing, eh?
The best minds did know what they were doing, there was code that zeroed out all the data between calls. The person who picked it up later and saw a huge performance improvement by removing the code that wrote into the buffer twice is what caused the problem.
Anyone who argues with me about there being no need to comment their code "because the code is self-explanatory", I specifically use this exact issue as a counter-example of how very wrong they are and how much they can just stand their and bask in their wrongness.
Incorrect. From the FAQ on the page you linked to:
Which systems are affected by Meltdown?... We successfully tested Meltdown on Intel processor generations released as early as 2011. Currently, we have only verified Meltdown on Intel processors. At the moment, it is unclear whether ARM and AMD processors are also affected by Meltdown.
You do realize that most of the folks that started Wayland were originally long-time X hackers, right? There has to be a reason why they gave up trying to get X11 to behave properly, besides "because it's bloated".
They drew those borders with little to no consideration for the indigenous cultural, lingual, and political boundaries.
Eh, no. They drew those borders very deliberately, to keep warring factions at each others' throats in perpetuity. The idea was to ensure that those countries could never prosper on their own but would instead eventually require "help" of Western nations.
Why does all food that is made by robot taste like shit? I'm serious. I'm trying to think of some food product that is assembled by robots that doesn't taste horrible and is not horrible for you.
Because once you've eliminated all non-essential employment costs, the only savings left is in the ingredients. Everything else is fixed and mostly non-negiotiable (rent, utilities, maintenance, miscellaneous overhead).
Republicans say they're all for smaller government and less personal intrusion. Cursory glance at their actual actions does not support their assertions. You keep on believing that, however, if it helps you sleep.
I expect the first priority for the Republicans now will be reversing everything done under Obama. Even the thing they agree with, they can't allow a Democrat to claim the success. I expect a health care reform repeal act to pass at some point in 2017.
I actually suspect they will simply adopt it back as their own. It would be a vote destroyer to erase it. If they simply triangulate it back to the original RomneyCare implementation and say it was their idea all along -- rewrite a bit of history -- it'll go well with their base. Costs them nothing, really. And it's not like they haven't done it before.
Remember, both Rs and Ds are beneficiaries of the ACA.
100% false. Rice did not use email, and Powell did not use a server that he or his staff operated. But my problem is not even that she used a server -- it's that every time someone asks her about this, she lies.
It's a two-edged sword though. In the US, making the voting record public is what brought on the power of lobbyists, since they could now make sure that their bought and paid for representative stayed bought.
Side mirrors snap off all the time. Replacing them can be a expensive proposition, depending on whether the mirror has an anti-snap feature or flows into the body. I'd take a camera, myself.
NTFS is not open, so not exactly a go for Apple there. I've had varying success with NTFS-3G on Linux to rescue Windows things throughout the years. I'm not sure what they're not interoperating with with regards to Android, except in areas where the "interop" is based on a closed standard. The same could be said of Android. It's not exactly in either platform providers' best interest to interop much except through mandated phone standards. I've got two NFSv4 shares mounted from my Linux server onto my MacBook. So.. that works?

No, it doesnâ(TM)t. Read their FAQ. The sploit was only tested on Intel.

How about the Hillary campaign using a business that paid for the dirty dossier generated by an ex member of the UK intelligence agencies?
FYI. The dossier was initiated and originally funded by a rich donor to the "Never Trump" arm of the Republican party.

Making all the other supercomputers Wirth-less.
Yea, but who likes Thomsas Edison? He was a jerk and an ass.
And really sweaty, apparently.

I've been using Qt for this purpose for years.
If only the LLDB bridge in QtCreator wouldn't freeze every time you so much as sneezed, then I'd be very happy.
It's like it's an unattainable goal to make a decent visual debugger that is not Visual Studio.

Flip the chart to 2014.
There's going to be a lot of disaffected out-of-work folks in the future.
Eh, what?
They were already living there. They had homes. However, rents spiralled out of control and now they're homeless. It's not complicated.

The said "previous ... administrations". Honestly, how short is your memory?

NTFS. Android. NFS3.

Without "union thuggery" you wouldn't have weekends, vacation or sick days, among other things.
