The order books were thin, several coins had risen with a feverish influx of cash, and the CME launch didn't signal wildly optimistic expectations.
After a couple of days of mild ups and downs, things looked poised to slide down hard enough to run into everyone's stop-loss orders. The buyer side if the LTC book looked especially thin.
I converted everything back to USD about two hours before the shit hit the fan. I did not, sadly, play much in the run back up, but I'm doing family stuff around Christmas.
Plenty of people knew. It was overheated and ready for a correction. The bounce back has been impressive, though. I'd pegged $260 as LTC's pull out, and it's been dancing around $275. I'll live with not maxing out.
In a video playback test at calibrated brightness, the XPS15 4K managed ~5.5 hours to the rMBP's 9, and that's with a 97Wh battery (vs 87Wh).
They offer that beast with a battery in the 56Wh range, if memory serves (so to speak)...
Apple and Dell made different design decisions. There are trade-offs for LPDDR, but it likely wouldn't be a problem if Intel supported more channels of memory. Apple wouldn't be forced into a capacity/performance trade-off. They would just be left with a capacity/cost trade-off.
Would I like 32GiB of RAM next time around? Yeah, but I'll take a few hours of battery life instead.
Combustion means redox, but redox does not necessarily mean combustion. Combustion is fast (and, since it's exothermic, hot). Fuel cells are not considered combustion engines unless things go really wrong...
Furthermore, the "internal" part of an internal combustion engine stems from the combustion of fuel occurring within a chamber that can extract work energy from the expansion of the gaseous results of combustion, whereas an external combustion engine uses a working fluid contained within a separate chamber to transfer energy from a heat source. A common example would be a steam engine.
Putin-ish: "We totally didn't hack the election, but it wouldn't have been a problem if the US had signed this treaty that we sent in 2015, which would have stopped us from hacking the election, which we totally didn't do..."
We've been missing the point. Putin is a dark comedy masterpiece. Can we all just applaud his ability to drop these lines without bursting into laughter?
LCD monitors don't have per-pixel backlighting and are, in fact, transparent display panels in which black is not merely "just off". Black in an LCD requires alignment of polarized filter elements. It *may* be a stable state for a given panel, but even those panels will typically drive the element towards black to facilitate faster pixel response.
Given that every single iPhone 6S I've encountered with the dreaded 30% shutdown bug (>10 of them) has been a Samsung-based device, there's at least a difference in the device builds. It may or may not be the SoC.
In a civil liability suit, you sue everyone involved, from the part manufacturer to the installer to the operator to the owner of the space being leased to the guy that printed the sign out front...
Why? Because, if you don't, the easiest oath out of liability is for all of the parties of the suit to point to the unnamed party and snow a jury. You sue everyone so they do their due diligence to demonstrate a lack of fault in deposition and then get you pointed to the party at fault. This is not new or unusual. It's sadly necessary.
The trick is that, however much of an ass she may be, the "defamer" in this case just tweeted at the wrong handle on accident. And with some language that one would really have to stretch to take to be an explicit assertion of vandalism.
And that's libelous? And worth 24k quid? God help us.
There may be several thousand scattered around, but the concentration of competence is high in the Bay Area. It's why companies continue to sprout up in Silicon Valley, hire the best, do well, make a fortune, etc.
There's value to setting up shop in other places, but they're still likely to be areas of concentration of skills. There are smart people doing great work in Seattle, Boston, Las Vegas, Raleigh, Fairfax, etc. But you're going to have to work a little harder to grow a little slower. It's even harder in Madison, New Orleans, Boise, Albany, etc. There are great engineers all over the place, but there are vast networks of engineers at the ready in the Bay Area.
In the Bay Area, companies can hire aggressively and move quickly. For any game with a big first-mover advantage, it's a smart place to play.
If I had a problem t-shirt-sized to 100-200 people, I'd be reluctant to start cranking on it anywhere else.
Which is why a 90 day disclosure to public announcement deadline is a reasonable measure. If a bug can be discovered by a nice engineer, it can also be discovered and exploited by a malicious one.
People being mad about this announcement would be akin to people being angry about leaks from Trump's administration rather than the malfeasance uncovered, which would be, you know... Ludicrous.
The problem here isn't whether you can adjust shapers or rules for jitter and reliability.
The real problem is that Comcast (or any ISP) can decide to impose a consumer monthly cap and charge for overage, after which they can also *not count* Netflix against that cap while still counting Hulu or PlayStation Vue against that cap. Practical network management is a red herring to distract from uncompetitive business practices. There may be some naive non-experts who would want to jump into routing and low-level management, but that is a staggeringly small minority that could be easily convinced to stand down.
The real game is in market-changing billing practices that enter under the pretense of responsible network management.
Step one is to take an honest look at the vast distinction between those areas of concern and consider policy honestly and realistically. That is, by the way, something that I wouldn't anticipate in the near future from this administration or the FCC. The obfuscation is convenient and intentional.
If the Toyota Previa is the best selling mid-engined minivan of all time, does that make it a success?
No. Toyota now sells the Sienna, a front-engined minivan. *It* could (arguably) be called a success. As far as I know, there are no mid-engines minivans in the US market right now.
Like many, I championed his cause and firmly stated that he was being unfairly politically persecuted. But the reality is that he's just a douchebag that found a cause to stand atop and be the king of. It's just another power-play. He's as principled as a toaster oven.
I've heard of security personnel *filling* hotel rooms with stolen gear from booths, and I know someone who stopped a theft-by-security-guard after hours a couple of years ago at CES. Those guys are about as trustworthy as a hungry bear.

If it's as scriptless and meandering as that disaster was, I'm going to go buy a beachfront house and lock myself in the basement.
They were sexy, but the edges flexed, something you could notice while typing.
I'd love to have my T42 keyboard back, though. That was pure magic.
But you had to sit on it... well, now itâ(TM)s too late.
Uh, no...

Regular formal communication, presence in the Oval Office, return of seized compounds, softer rhetoric.... oh, wait, you're a troll...
Great, now anyone named anonymous coward will be pulled out for extra screening...

For OLED, black is the same as off.

Then put on a black robe.
