It's a good reason to not move somewhere that you have to rely on public transportation. Especially if that locality thinks it's a good idea to pay someone to respond to tweets and give those people no power to fix whatever complaint they're responding to.
Delays are up 83%? No problem, we'll just respond to tweets instead of fixing whatever caused the delay in the first place.
If the locality can't maintain their public transport system better than that then it ought to be encouraging residents to buy their own private transport and avoid the public transport system.
Google shopping wants to compete with amazon.com or fleabay? Seems unlikely, as google doesn't actually sell products. It's a search engine that tricks users into thinking there is a store hosted on google.com. Not only that, but many of the results actually end up being listings on fleabay or amazon.com in the first place. If google wants to compete in e-commerece, then they will prob have to.. you know, engage in actual e-commerce.
My prime just renewed in March. Unless I change my mind I think that will be it for me. Prime streaming is useless in my opinion on account of the poor content library and mediocre interface, so it's just a matter of the sometimes free shipping.
Sure it's going to be a while before you see much 8k VIDEO content...
But what the naysayers are ignore is how awesome these will be for images.
Also a nice side effect of putting on 8K displays, is it drives the cots of 4k displays even cheaper in the meantime.
As is the way of every new hotness. It drives the cost of the old busted down. 8k is the new hotness. 4k is the old busted. The author must have some vested interest in an older technology. Maybe he bought his first 4k tv last weekend and is bitter?
^^^ This. How about a lively discussion about how we can use tech to stop people from running over crowds of other people with speeding vehicles instead?
Obviously, banning vehicles for anyone other than the military of a sovereign nation is the answer. The vehicles used by the nation should require multi factor biometric locking mechanisms. Is this even a question?
We should call it screwing. I know a lot of hackers that would love to finally be able to say they were tired because they were up all night screwing. Otherwise, no... It doesn't matter what some people try to change the term to.. it'll always be hacking.
As a long time hater of almost every turd Apple craps out, I'm going to give them some props here. 16:10 is in my opinion the way to go. It's perfect to split in half if you'd like to use two windows at a time. I often have source code open on one side and a result display on the other. Yes, I do multiple monitors like everyone else, but having two windows perfectly laid out on the main screen is still very useful. I do it every day. I'm using a decade old LG 30" panel that I paid through the nose to get when it was new. My side monitors are 16:9 because I couldn't afford to get two more proper 16:10 displays. How I wish they were 16:10 though. Also, as others have mentioned, you can rotate the monitors so they are vertically long instead of wide. This again is perfect for normal document reading full page. Yes, you can scale a doc to fit 16:9 or some other oddball aspect ratio - but it doesn't work out quite right and results in a frustrating experience. Anyone who thinks they like 16:9 and haven't tried 16:10 I highly recommend giving it a shot if you get an opportunity. I would lay down hard currency that you would change your mind after even a few days.
So, in this case, good on apple for giving their customers a better option. I still won't be buying one, but they did something right here for sure.
Actually, I misspoke. Slashdot is trying to load 62 scripts from 17 unique domains. My point remains the same, I would bet a shitcoin that slashdot's human overlords is not intimately familiar with every script. It's just dumb luck (and probably a matter of time) that any given website wasn't included in this particular scandal while this madness continues.
After TechCrunch brough the issue to MongoDB’s attention this morning, it investigated and just provided this statement “We were unaware that a third-party technology was using a tracking script that collects parts of Facebook user data. We have identified the source of the script and shut it down.”
You were unaware? UNAWARE? You were UNAWARE of what's running ON YOUR OWN FUCKING WEBSITE?????
What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you really that fucking incompetent? Seriously. What the fucking fuck.
Come on, man. Have you looked at modern websites? They include a shitload of scripts. Slashdot is trying to load 17. Seventeen! Do you really think someone at slashdot went out and read the code behind every one of those scripts in order to understand them? Do you think when a third party script is updated that the original site even is AWARE and looks at the updated code. If you're going to use third party scripts (for example a facebook login) on your website, you've already given up control of your website. At that point you're just playing "trust me" with the owners of those scripts.
I am not saying it's a good or right situation but almost every website on the internet does things this way.
Applications without 64bit binaries available should be considered abbandoned or dead. Depending on this kind of software is irresponsible and should be avoided at all cost.
Except that there's no good reason to do that. Luckily, mac users will continue to have the option to stick with their older version of MacOS or to load Linux or Windows on the hardware.
You still have to wait till they are old enough to microwave their own food.
Here is a great life hack to avoid killing your kid in a hot car: When you buckle the kid into the car seat, toss your cell phone and wallet onto the floor in front of the seat. When you reach your destination and reach into your pocket to check your Facebook status... the phone isn't there. Then you remember the kid is asleep in the backseat!
No. Uber Eats + smart phone.. they only need to be able to read. Microwaves are for "old people."
Or teach them to swim before letting them out of sight near a pool or lake?
There will always be a gap between the age a baby can crawl and swim.
Babies learn to swim at 3 months for parents who care to teach their children. It's common in my home state of Florida. If parents are letting 2 month old babies wander around then there isn't much hope for the kid anyway.
I'm sorry, but if I'm investing in a high-end, server-class CPU, I expect it to be supported for as long as is reasonably possible. If they said they weren't updating 10 year old Celerons or Atoms, that might be understandable. But Xeons? Let's just say I don't plan to every buy one again, at least so long as AMD represents a reasonable alternative. In fact, I will always stick with AMD (as I long have, for other reasons) until and unless Intel makes some kind of definite, enforceable support commitment.
Look at the release dates for the specific Xeons on their list. For example, the W3520. It was released 9 years ago. I don't blame them one bit for not updating ancient chips like that. If it was a chip released in 2016 I think owners could reasonably be upset. Intel only provides 3 year warranties on Xeon processors. If they were feeling generous, they might provide updates for chips 5 years out...
Do you know that? I don't know details on this testing, but it sounds like 40% is exactly normal, as that's what we're seeing. If you're predicting the outcome of coin flips, a 40% error margin is pretty good. If you're determining whether a person is "at risk" for Alzheimer's, I can see the definition of "at risk" swaying the results dramatically.
Yes, it's in TFA. Scientists at Ambry Genetics did actual testing and discovered the error. That's what the story is about.
It's not shit on this too much. Anyone who's had to work in any science related field, you're as good as your model and training data. To even make ancillary matches that maybe cause a bit of a 'concern' but later turn out to be benign or a false positive, um, sign me the fuck up? Especially if you're not in the health and welfare camp of "You don't know what you don't want to know". Time is on our side in improvement; of course we will, but I hope it's better for my children and not an ultimate target-on-the-back for pre-healthcare screening (which is already really is) and any future healthcare you plan to get. If accuracy is improved for the right reasons, absolutely, but humanity and greed tell me otherwise.
TFA is making it sound like we have world of mega hypochondriacs --- which probably isn't entirely out of the question with today's social media platform of "Oh everybody, on my way to another dicey check-up, fingers crossed " --- but by any measure, if there are genetic health concerns that run in my blood line, why not entertain it, especially if you want to be proactive and curb or neutralize it, if it's in your immediate control to change it? At least you had some concrete information as opposed to none.
We should shit on it more. "DTC companies" appear to be deliberately producing false results to sell more of their product. 40% is not a normal margin for error.
Thinking it's just Facebook, and that you'll be safe by avoiding Facebook, is a bigger mistake than using Facebook.
I don't think they claimed it was just Facebook. Facebook is a well known and ubiquitous offender. Knock 'em out one at a time. I bet it would be relatively easy to convert this Facebook container into a Google container, and whatever kind of container you wanted.
Indeed, plus or minus ten percent is nothing. Maybe they tried to time their announcement with the usual wednesday drops?
In any case, "If a platform offers trading of digital assets that are securities and operates as an 'exchange,' as defined by the federal securities laws"...
So what are "digital assets that are securities"? What do they define as being "assets" and "securities"? What's the difference between the gold coins in World of Warcraft and a dozen Dogecoins?
The difference is nobody will trade you US dollars for wow gold. Well, maybe chinese gold farmers - but nobody of consequence.

But it that identity is kept confidential at all the study couldn't be used by the EPA if this proposed rule is passed.
the EPA will no longer be able to rely on scientific research that is underpinned by confidential medical and industry data
I've never seen a medical study based on a person's name or social security number.

Millions of millennials will need to learn cursive writing so that they can fill out a check.
I don't think you understand what cursive writing is. Or if you do, can you tell us what you think it has to do with writing a check?
You use it to sign your name. I guess you could always just "make your mark" with an X.
TFA is on a really bad website. Thank God for noscript. If you're one of the rare slashdotters who reads TFA, then get this add-on first.
