The OP points out that they haven't shipped anything, but I've seen prototypes of their first hardware and it looks pretty cool. I can't say much because of an NDA, but I can reveal that it's white, cat-shaped, and will read barcodes.
Can anyone explain what the difference is between an HCCI engine and a diesel engine, apart from the claimed particulate thing? Please use a car analogy in your explanation.
There is no reason to change it now or anytime in the foreseeable future. TLS 1.0 aint broke.
Exactly. Sure, there are some nice theoretical attacks that provide essentially no useful foothold for an attacker (but do make for great conference papers, go and look them up if you don't believe me). While it doesn't hurt to go to 1.2 if you've got it, there's no reason to break your whole infrastructure over it. No attacker is going to care whether you're on 1.0 or 1.2.
It's a choice which literally provides no benefit to anyone.
In fact it's a net loss, since you're now going to have to deal with things that don't do 1.2, and may not do 1.2 for years to come, or ever. That's lots of IoT, embedded, SCADA, and legacy gear, for people who are thinking "why can't they just upgrade".
Not only that, but for the past two thousand odd years that's how everyone did road trips (although more than a hundred years ago they involved horses). And now the fact that some millennial manages to drive from A to B without using a GPS is newsworthy?
Except it doesn't apply to Threadripper, Epyc, or Ryzen Pro.
We don't even know if it's an AMD problem, it could be any one of a number of previously-unnoticed Linux issues that happen to show up on Ryzen (note that the text says "may also affect other Unix-like operating systems", not "exists under FreeBSD as well", so currently it's pure speculation that it extends past Linux). We'll have to wait and see what further investigation turns up...
The examples you give are terrible. The reason these programs are not being made anymore is mostly that nobody was using them.
Your nobody is obviously quite different to my nobody. Maybe they had no obvious business application, but there were lots of home users who relied in Picture It to process their photos, Movie Maker to burn their home movies to DVD, FrontPage to do their web pages, and so on. All of these things were mission-critical to someone, that was the primary app they used on their Windows PC.
Having MS discontinue them is far worse then losing a text editor on a Linux box. There are lots and lots of text editors for Linux, and you'd hope that the typical Linux user would know how to switch to an alternative. OTOH when your mom loses Movie Maker or your neighbour loses FrontPage, that's it, they're hosed. They may eventually download something from virusbucket.ru that they found via a Google search for HTML editors, but that's about as far as they can go. They bought their Windows PC with the assumption that XYZ app that came included or bundled or was purchased at the same time would continue to be available with it, and don't expect a critical portion of their purchase to suddenly go away at Microsoft's whim.
Exactly. I can keep on using Microsoft Office Accounting, Encarta, MapPoint, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Messenger, Microsoft Expression Design, FrontPage, Picture It!, Microsoft Money, and many other professional grade tools secure in the knowledge that with a huge commercial software company behind them, they'll still be actively developed and supported for many years to come.
That doesn't make the government beholden to Apple or anything.
That depends on the quantities involved. As the old saying goes, "if you owe the bank $1,000, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank $1M, you own the bank" (I did say it was an old saying). If Apple were to get up to the levels of China and Japan, they'd own the USG.
The USG has actually used this trick itself in the past when it told the UK to get out of Egypt during the Suez Crisis or it'd crash the pound. So there's certainly precedent for it.
Admittedly it's been a serious engineering challenge for Apple. At the moment, with BLE, you're struggling to get a day's runtime out of it, and now they're strapping a power-guzzling LTE modem onto it as well. A few design compromises have had to be made in order to accommodate the additional power draw.
It's only had full hardware support since Kaby Lake, so they've been shipping it for months, not years. Since Microsoft have decided that one's Windows 10 only, you need to be running that in order for VP9 hardware decode. So you need both the latest hardware and Windows 10... ugh.
I think I saw it bundled with Acrobat Reader very recently.
I got some app that was bundled with Reader as well when I opened a PDF. Something about bigbucketofvirus.ru. I installed it anyway. For some reason my computer has been running a lot slower since then.
Firefox 57 will be the greatest, it'll be the most winningest. There'll be so much winning you'll get tired of it and want to go back to 6% market share and dropping. But Firefox isn't, it's winning, winning, winning. MFGA!
Exactly. What sort of cloud cuckoo-land is this guy living in where he thinks that the few remaining Firefox users, what is it now, 5%? 6%? depending on sources, are going to stick with Firefox once Mozilla kill off the sole remaining reason to stay, the extensions? It's already so bad that many sites aren't testing with Firefox any more, on Windows machines I have to go to Internet fucking Explorer to use the site because Firefox's market share is so irrelevant the site never gets tested with it. Driving the market share even lower as Mozilla is doing is a self-perpetuating death spiral.
Yes, certainly, an incoherence or inchoate of sentence can certainly be constructed of more plyons if the user ups the value of the drive level on their H.264.
You misspelled "pylons". Try and be a bit more careful with your grammar and spelling next time.
No, because you have to encode in different bitrates in order to have a seamless playback on multitude of devices and bandwidth. Today's streaming techniques don't encode one video file in entirety but instead break the video down into multiple short videos that are stitched together by the player using a playlist.
The short (or sometimes not-so-short) video that precedes every Apple TV viewing event, you know, the one with the spinner and the word "Buffering", seems to be encoded at a pretty decent resolution, Maybe it's built into the device for quick access every time?
with better quality video being demanded by consumers
You're damn right that we demand better quality videos. The amount of crap that's being produced these days is astronomical, with only a few shows actually being of any real quality.
Of course the studios are just going to churn out even more derivative crap, because that's easier and quicker than producing quality videos.
My first thought too. Some of the most insanely bloated resource hogs on Android are the ones from Google, but of course they won't get downranked by Google's new system.
The court papers don't explain how the NSA was able to use the GCSB's spying technology without the bureau's knowledge.
The equipment is supplied by the NSA, the software is from the NSA, the training is done by the NSA, why is the GCSB surprised that it functions without their involvement? They're just the janitors.

All Google did was confirm that James was right about the intolerance of the SJW bullies who run the show.
Yup. He even got his comment mostly right:
"a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence."
should have said:
"a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by firing dissenters."
Couldn't the people who have multiple voices inside their heads lend one or two of them to the ones who don't?

Long live ed.
If I took over this project I'd rip all that shit out and simply use Lua for everything. Developers are so stupid.
And now you have five programming languages in gedit.

No true Scotsman would need encryption!
