Netburst wasn't just justified by marketing reasons (moar MHz) but by technical reasons. The idea of using a very long pipeline combined with high frequencies sounded good at the time. They just didn't expect heat to be that much of an obstacle. Turned out it was, so they shifted their focus on their more energy efficient line (Pentium M), with the added bonus on not having to maintain two separate micro-architectures. And while Netburst definitely was a failure, I'm quite sure that they managed to salvage parts of it. For instance, the P4 had advanced branch prediction algorithms, because it is necessary with long pipelines. Maybe it found its way somewhere else.
The representative shall be established in one of the Member States where the data subjects, whose personal data are processed in relation to the offering of goods or services to them, or whose behaviour is monitored, are.
Sounds like the representative has to be in the EU to me... However, in practice, if you don't have a presence in the EU, I don't know what GDPR can do to you. And if you do, then you can just designate a person who already works there.
If you don't believe in God , what cause can you have for any real hope and why not off yourself when life becomes inconvenient.
Survival instinct. It is not a choice, we are hard-wired to survive, and the amount of suffering humans can endure and still cling to life is astonishing. As for hope, I am an atheist and I still have great hope in humanity. Human history is a story of solving impossible problems, there is no reason for it to stop. Global warming, nuclear proliferation, political unrest... meh, minor setbacks at worst.
But that's my opinion. If you are a Catholic and it makes you a better, happier person, then don't lose your faith.
TL;DR There are more than enough space for new emoji and everything we can throw in Unicode.
Unicode has 17 planes, each containing 65536 code points. Emoji currently sit in plane 1, which isn't even half full. There are currently 1212 code points for emoji, so it means that there is room for 30x more without leaving plane 1.
If we manage to exceed that, planes 3-13 are still unassigned. It means there are 720896 more code points available.
But that 17 plane limit is just here to satisfy UTF-16. UTF-8, by far the most common standard today can go up do 32768 planes, that's 2 billion code points.
And it doesn't stop here. A lot of emoji are created by combining several characters. Flags are made by combining 2 'flag letters". So R and U will show the flag of Russia. Skin colored and gendered emoji can be created by combining a skin tone or gender symbol with a person emoji. The possibilities are endless.
Of course, what applies to emoji apply to any writing system.
Yeah, Unicode is big. They could add an image for every single person on earth if they wanted to.
In that particular case this is a politically correct update: gender neutral emoji, redhead emoji variants, real gun replaced by squirt gun,...
As for why emoji matter, I think it is just an instance of the bike-shed effect. Small pictures are easy to understand, anyone can have an opinion about how a burger should look like. As a result, people talk a lot about it, even though it is trivial. Things like colorimetry, computer security and machine learning require some level of technical knowledge and people just leave that to the experts.
No matter how old lost and abandoned these games are, sharing the ROMs is still piracy. And the Japanese in particular take piracy very seriously, so much that while we had torrents in the west, Japan used TOR-like anonymized P2P networks like Perfect Dark.
It is understandable that collectors want to keep a low profile.
We are allowed to. That's part of the bad PR GP is talking about.
However, TFS mentions a lawsuit, which seems to imply that it is illegal for companies to set their prices based on market research, which sounds ridiculous.
I can't think of any commercially successful attempt to put Windows on something that isn't an x86 PC. And I don't see why that thing would be any different.
You get Windows for the huge software library accumulated over decades and because you get the best support for just about anything you can plug into your computer, graphic cards in particular. ARM devices like that lack the binary compatibility with everything that's written for x86 and lack the extensiblility of PCs that make good drivers so crucial. So why bother with Windows? There is that killer app called MS-Office but you need a proper keyboard to be productive, and even that didn't save the original ARM Surface.
That barebones OS already exists, it is called AOSP. However, Google doesn't control the hardware except for their own devices (Nexus, Pixel), and all Android builds are customized for their specific hardware. The driver sources are normally available (because of the GPL) but getting things to run require significant effort, and we can't expect Google to do that for every device.
As for disabling instead of uninstalling apps, that's actually a good thing IMHO. Disabled apps don't do anything, they only take a bit of storage space. An that space cannot be reclaimed without compromising security. Pre-installed apps are stored in the/system partition which is fixed size, read-only and in recent devices, signed. You basically can't touch it unless you are flashing a new ROM, or use root tricks.
That's totally illegal in France, I don't know about the situation in the US where the copyright laws are different.
In France, you own your work, and nothing can be done to change that. And it applies even if you are working for a company as an employee. The only thing that can be done is to sign away your rights (you are still the owner but someone else gets to make money), or license it. It also means it is impossible to put your own work in the public domain.
In the case of FlightAware, I simply cannot comply with that terms, even I I wanted to. IANAL but I hope for their career that the people who wrote these terms and conditions aren't either. Most services don't require ownership, they require a license, usually among the lines of "non exclusive license to do whatever the fuck we want to do with the stuff you upload", which makes a lot more sense.
It is not just older vs newer evil, these companies have different evil based on their business model.
Apple is a hardware company, their evil is planned obsolescence Google is an advertising company, their evil is invasion of privacy Microsoft is a software company, their evil is proprietary software lock down Amazon is an online shopping company, their evil is destroying the local economy
It seems to contradict my personal observation. I know a few streamers and women seem to have a much easier time, provided that they are reasonably attractive. So, where is the catch? Maybe my observation are just annectodal? Maybe women are proportionally more likely than men to stream, men are more likely to stream only if they can make money out of it? Or maybe the study is flawed in some way.
In particular, what is a "video game content creator"? Is anyone with a twitch account and a single video considered a streamer, does it count only people who can monetize, which typically requires a certain amount of views? It can make a huge difference since many streamers don't get paid simply because viewers simply don't have the option to pay them. Also, there are many ways of getting paid: subscriptions, donations, sponsorship, patreon, merch... which ones are taken into account?
Anyways, the rule book is copyrighted, obviously. However, I've never seen any issue with replicating functionality. In fact, many popular board games are reskinned copies of traditional games, for example "Uno" is just "Crazy Eights" with redesigned cards. And replicating functionality is more than commonplace in software.
Maybe gameplay mechanics can be patented in some cases, but IANAL.
Then they will fail their tests and teachers will think that they are retarded. And as a result they will be sent to where the retards are sent instead of the teachers understanding that it is an attention problem and deal with it correctly.
Smart kids failing their tests because they find their lecture boring and don't listen at all is very common, and mistaking it for low intelligence is probably the worst thing you can do to them. So while there are many reasons to oppose the system, defeating it may backfire.
No MySQL and PostGreSQL are not options unless you serve web content and do simple database stuff. People who buy MS SQL Server and Oracle use their AI, financial, and advanced reporting tools.
Not all of them. Some of them use Oracle because they used Oracle 20 years ago and don't want to change, even though any SQL database would work. I know by experience.
Ariane is also heavily subsidized. However, they are complaining that SpaceX is subsidized by a government with a larger budget, which allows them to do economies of scale, which, in turn makes them more competitive for their non-subsidized commercial market. In particular, that their market is too small to make reusable rockets worthwhile, because NASA isn't there to guarantee them a significant amount of launches.
Still sounds like whining to me. Especially since I doubt that European governments will allow Ariane to fail. Launchers are important for strategic reasons.
Frenchman here. Yes, it has changed a lot. For example, mobile internet is much cheaper. If you are talking about national security, then yeah, we now that security theater thing in many public events and in airports. Generally, the way France has changed in the last decade isn't much different from the rest of the western world.
As for "predatory things", the wolf preservation program is relatively successful, and while some farmers are complaining, we can't really call that an invasion if that's what you meant...
The top two are semi-ruggedized. The first one has a shatterproof screen, the second has metal brackets. It makes the iPhone X the winner of the non-ruggedized phones.
Tesla, like all others Elon Musk's endeavors rely heavily on media attention. "Autopilot", "ludicrous speed", "bioweapon defense",... They even sent a car into space FFS. They have more clickbait than the YouTube "trending" page.
However it also means that everything that go wrong gets reported too. Should it? For the publishers, definitely, a Tesla story gets more views than anything.
Your grandparents probably also paid 10 times more than you did for their stuff, once adjusted for inflation. Things are made cheaper because they are sold cheaper. The electronics are put in here because it is cheap, and in general people want cheap. See the theme here... They still make things that are durable for the professional market, but the prices are so high that it doesn't make economic sense for consumers.
To keep up with the pedantry, do the author need a "safe" or a "secure" router? A secure router is one that cannot be easily taken over by hackers. A safe router is one that won't burst into flames.
The Note4 was rather well received but it did have a metal frame. The same cannot be said of the S5, which the majority considered ugly (band-aid look...). Back then, Samsung was derided for its use of "cheap plastic". There are a few vocal proponents of plastic, like myself, but the truth is that the newer glass backed Samsungs were well received, there are the "good looking Samsungs". Any yeah, they are often (but not always) tucked inside the worst looking cases imaginable, but go figure... At least they look good in the store.

Isn't there a game like that already?
Publishers love controversy, it gives them free publicity. It was part of GTA's marketing strategy for instance.
It sounds like a great idea for an indie game, if only for that reason.
In fact, it is just a roundabout way of saying that no pesticide was found on mars.
