So Facebook is saying that there is a regular occurance that facebook posts just vanish because of technical errors and it's possible that they are just gone forever?
Well that doesn't exactly gives much confidence in using Facebook as an information platform does it?
If a car is overtaking a lorry on a motorway and enters a lower speed-limit area, the driver can push down hard on the accelerator to complete the maneuver.
So the car suddenly slows down if it enters speed limit area? That means if you are switching lanes for example you could accidently ram into the next car because of this. This is just a disaster waiting to happen. Any computer controlled movements that can take place at random times are just dangerous.
Secondly if you have an emergency then this means you can't drive over the speed limit and someone could possibly die before reaching the hospital.
So Youtube can detect inappropriate comments obviously, but instead of deleting, hiding the comment or banning the user of the comment the video itself will be banned. Does not make any sense.
So just fire all the lawyers on the legal team. You can't but the blame on somebody else and not do anything about it. If the lawyers are at fault they must be fired. All of them.
I don't see any problem here. If you can apply for credit using only a email address then it's the company own fault. You don't give credit out to just an email address. And for registering free trial accounts, what's the problem here? You give out trials, so what if somebody gets many trials? Who cares?
I understand encoding video is time consuming but we only need to decode here really, which is always faster. You really don't need to re-encode anything you just need to decode a keyframe to keyframe and store the results temporarly. I just checked online for example on H.264 and it seems to have keyframe every 2 to 10 seconds on average, so in reality you only need to decode at max 10 seconds. Now if you don't have the computing power to do this for example on a mobile then obviously you use only key frame seeking but on a PC powerhouse there is no excuse.
I don't understand why can't you just re-encode only from a previous keyframe to your seek point on the fly? There is no need to reencode the entire file. Just re-encode one keyframe to the next keyframe.
I wonder what "unlimited" actually means with GitHub. I am pretty sure you can't actually create "many" repositories without GitHub shutting you down.
What if I wanted for example to use GitHub as my personal file backup? And just created one repository for each file and split the file up into multiple repositories for files over 1GB. I am pretty sure I could not do that even if it's "unlimited".
It isn't that they can't but for a device meant to fit in your pocket, should they?
Yes because this is just a small port that is already compatible with million of deployed devices. Bluetooth audio or USB audio is good to have but it has a number of shortcomings that the 3.5mm port doesn't have:
1) Bluetooth audio is being recompressed which can result in lower quality. 2) Bluetooth headphones need power and a charged battery. 3) The same USB port is used both for charging and audio, which means you can't do both at the same time. 4) Bluethooth can suffer from interference. 5) Bluetooth is not very reliable, which anyone knows that has tried to pair some devices together and failed for no apparent reason. 6) Non compatible audio ports. First we had Mini, then Micro and now USB-C. In a few years we will have some new USB connector that will make all these obsolete as usual, but the 3.5mm has been in use since 1950.
Remember the Note 7 battery catching on fire, because everything was so jammed pack that they didn't account for the battery to expand. These devices are made to a high tolerance levels, and are jam packed with stuff.
That is just bad engineering. If more space is needed then this is something that can be dropped from the phone: Wireless charging, fingerprint scanning, NFC or curved screen.
I am willing to think those headphone ports which are a lot of empty space are an engineering nightmare. And to make it waterproof, having to add a mm gasket around it would just take up more space that can be used for an extra 20 minutes of battery life, improved reception on the phone bigger and faster CPU....
Nobody is really asking for a smaller phone. Usually people want a larger screen. There is a limit on how small you want the phone before you start limiting the screen and being able to hold it as a phone.
I work in software development, I get into many arguments where I choose not to add a particular feature, it isn't because I can't but because I shouldn't. Often because it will make the product difficult to manage, be a large programming effort for a minor payoff, and just have the developers in the future go what the heck is this code for, it seems to be used for one particular feature that isn't used anymore. But we need to make sure it doesn't break.
I also work in software development. A useful feature for users should not be removed or not added just because it's hard for developers to implement. Implementing software is your job, doesn't matter if it's complex, hard or needs lot of documentation, there is a reason why it's called a job and not leisure time. The number one priority in software is being backward compatible with existing software/hardware and not creating any bugs.
No the problem is that the value of your CURRENT cryptocurrency is just going downhill and will be worth nothing in the long run. This will happen for all cryptocurrencies and the reason is that people just create new and new cryptocurrency.
The only people that can cash in are the people that originally created the cryptocurrency and they cash in before it becomes worthless. So everyone is trying to create their own cryptocurrency to cash in. Rinse repeat. An endless cycle that will never stop and makes common cryptocurrency useless.
The only way that a cryptocurrency can work, is if it is backed up by a government state so that you are quaranted to have an actual value for the currency based on the trust for the government. We have a name for this it's just called "Currency".
There are major problems with this. Even tough Java isn't the greatest programming language (but then again no programming language is). The greatest benefit of using Java is that there are now gazzillions of libraries and utilities to do everything under the sun, no matter what you need to to do you know there exists some library available to do it, so you don't have to code absolulety everything from scratch. If you switch to a spanking new language it takes probably a decade or so for the community to get up to speed with available libraries and that is only if the language is popular.
I hate all these new languages that are popping up, because there is nothing special about them, anyone can make a new programming language, that isn't the hard part. But the actual value of a programming language is in the availability of pre written solid working code that you can use in your projects.
"Per Indiegogo, in certain cases, some funds may be withheld from the creator until they can confirm that they will be able to ship their products on time"
So how is that actually going to work? I mean if the funds are not withheld in all cases then obviously the money don't exists to refund. So where does that money come from? Will Indiegogo pay out of their own pocket? I seriously doubt that, so obviously the only conclusion that you can come to is that the "guaranteed shipping" is actullay not guaranteed.
I still use FTP for file transfer. It's simple to set up and has many good features, it's extremely handy for transferring multiple and large files. I mean what else are you going to use? HTTP? Good luck trying to transfer that 500GB file without restarting the transfer when you are losing the connection every once in a while. FTP has restarts and retries and I don't see how you are going to get that with HTTP. FTP isn't insecure by default, it's just as secure as any other protocol.
It seems the original poster doesn't seem to understand why the portifolio is only valued at $2. The reason of course is so that the "Shipping & Transit LLC" company can sell the assets to a "new" company and continue with the patent litigations in a "new" company without any depts. Rinse and repeat.

As a company grows larger and is profit driven it's incentive to do evil things increases. Google seems now to be the new Microsoft of evil.

Yes same here. iGoogle was the most useful thing on the internet. Now I use ighome.com it's almost like iGoogle and it's free.

This is bad.
Actually they were amateurs. If they had known what they where doing the plane would not have crashed.
Well what do you expect. That is just pure capitalism at work.
It could be time based so may ban the user for one week or month depending on the severity.
So Youtube can detect inappropriate comments obviously, but instead of deleting, hiding the comment or banning the user of the comment the video itself will be banned. Does not make any sense.
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
So just fire all the lawyers on the legal team. You can't but the blame on somebody else and not do anything about it. If the lawyers are at fault they must be fired. All of them.
So what is the problem exactly? Even if the plane is empty the airline still gets paid the same.

So they can make the USB port waterproof but not the 3.5mm port? And the USB port has more wires and also has power, which the 3.5mm port doesn't
I don't think so.
Apple puts in light roadblocks, but nothing serious to anyone that wants to make a Hackintosh. How do they "go after" such people?

Great but no one at Microsoft thought that people would like maybe drag and drop links from the start menu search to the desktop?
Sometimes I wonder if anybody at Microsoft actually uses Windows.

It's a trap!
