Maybe physically lonelier. But if it is lonely as in "starved of human relationships", I'm not convinced. Internet communication is still communication.
depressed
Because depression is now better diagnosed and taken seriously.
and immature
If we define maturity as the ability to act as a grownup, then yeah, it probably takes longer to happen. But that's because there is more to learn in order to become a grownup. The world is more complex than ever and studies are longer.
No bezel means you have to have zero-fat fingers to hold it.
You are right but this is a UI problem, not a hardware problem; It is totally possible to make the edges of the screen inactive. Call it a virtual bezel if you want. Or better : make the edges active only if the action crosses the inner area. This way it will protect you from accidental input but you can use the edges for swipes and drag-and-drop. I don't know how it would do in practice but when it comes to touch-based interaction, Apple is unmatched, so I am confident they will do it right. And I am not an Apple fan (I hate them), I don't own any Apple product, but when I pick one up, I'm always impressed by how good the touchpad/touchscreen feels.
An unpaid internship is not necessarily exploitation. If the company actually takes time teaching you how to work, it can cost them more than any output you produce. And as an intern, you are not expected to be as productive as an experienced worker, and someone is likely to come after you, fixing your mistakes. It results in you taking valuable time from full-payed employees while not offering much in return. The reason these company take interns at all is that by the end of the internship, you may turn out to be a great potential hire. At least it is the idea behind internships. However some companies abuse the system to get slave labor. And honest companies are more likely to pay interns anyways.
These are spontaneously fermented beers. Brewers just let whatever microbe present in the environment do the fermentation This is a specific and rather uncommon type of beer. Usually, a specific, well known kind of yeast is used, so brewers, professional and amateur alike, can have a pretty good idea of what's in their beer.
So just buy a Roomba that doesn't have Wi-Fi, or don't turn it on, or buy one of the many brands of vacuum robots that don't offer any kind of network connectivity. As a bonus, unconnected robots are usually cheaper.
The reason the new Roombas have internet connectivity is that it is a selling point. Seriously, how are they going to market a $900 robot when a $200 Chinese robot can do the job effectively. And their gimmick is "look, not only you can control an monitor the robot from anywhere using your smartphone but we can also make you floorplans".
I gladly would but I can't (no YouTube Red in Europe) I hate ads but I still want content creators to be compensated. And direct payment (Patreon...) is not what I want. I watch videos from dozens of channels and there is no way I'm going to pay for each one of them, and I feel that only giving to the "best" ones is unfair.
Right now, the AdBlocker is on. But not only it is sometimes troublesome, especially on mobile, and it isn't a viable solution since both Google and content creators deserve to get paid. IMHO, if you don't like ads, you should welcome alternatives, such as paid subscriptions, if you insist on blocking ads and refuse to pay, you are just a freeloader.
MAOI inhibitors? These would be anti-anti-depressants. Still, I didn't know that tobacco contained MAOIs, These chemicals are known to potentate many substances. Nicotine of course but many other recreative drugs. A common example is DMT. It is inactive orally but when combined with a MAOI, it becomes a powerful hallucinogen mixture known as Ayahuasca. This can explain why some people become smokers after consuming "hard" drugs.
Poor network coverage is a very common theme at large scale events. As an attendee, this is something that I expect and I plan for it by having everything I need available offline and planning meetups the old fashioned way. Anyone who have already planned for large scale events should know that too and tackle the problem. This is simple incompetence, either from Niantic or from the event planners they hired.
I don't know about how it works in iOS but Android has hundreds of useless task killer apps. Apps are designed to listen to events and are restarted automatically when needed, and when the OS can kill tasks when it runs out of RAM anyways.
The only effective task killers are those that really freeze apps (ex : greenify), at the expense of disabling every background features like notifications.
Killing apps may still be effective for buggy apps stuck in a busy loop.
ARM is a cutthroat market, it is understandable that Intel doesn't want to play in this field. Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, Mediatek, Nvidia... all produce low power ARM chips. Entering this market would result in a price war and it is the last thing Intel wants. OTOH, Intel is practically the only player in high performance CPUs now, though AMD seems to be catching up. Even Apple is putting them in their Macs.
Focusing resources on x86 and high performance computing was a smart move IMHO.
Fitness trackers are great for one thing : notifications. I have a MiBand 1 and the vibrations can easily be felt in any condition. It can be used as a silent alarm clock too (it can wake me up).
I consider the actual fitness tracking more like a gimmick.
Fingerprints are not passwords. They are a what-you-are authentication factor. Passwords are a what-you-know.
It means that fingerprints can only be used to tell that the one operating the device with the scanner is you. They can't be used directly for remote authentication, because they are not secret.
Do you really think it will? Even freakin' Google couldn't take down Facebook, and they own a large chunk of the internet. Amazon is really good at selling stuff but it is pretty much at level zero when it comes to social networking.
It may have some success for customer service though.
The strength of Rust is that it has a great static analyzer. But C also has great tools : linters, debuggers, test frameworks,... Use them. No need to rewrite everything.
Intel still has better single core performance, or so it seems. What is best depends on your workload.
Anyways, I don’t think many people would really benefit from these top of the line CPUs and a lot of these will serve mostly as bragging points rather than actual performance considerations.
Interesting how we can make a parallel with drug or prostitution policies.
Drugs and prostitution exist in every society, and are unwanted in most cases. To tackle the problem there are two global stances : harm reduction and abstinance. - Abstinance focuses on bans and enforcing rules - Harm reduction focuses on taking control of the situation and making it less bad
Like drugs and prostitution, there is a need for DRM and open organizations have to deal with it. - The W3C goes with a harm reduction policy : integrate DRM but confine it within an API in an attempt to avoid fully proprietary solutions (apps, flash-like plugins,...) - EFF goes with abstinence : ban DRM completely from open specifications
The way you lean on one side is by steering the opposite direction. Centrifugal force does the job. This is more apparent on heavy motorbikes. Once you are at the correct angle, you can start turning the handlebars in the right direction and follow the curve. Straightening up uses the same process, except this time you turn into the curve.
It is totally possible to have a self steering bike. It would be like riding as a passenger.
If the info is classified, they really cannot tell. Without breaking the law that is. "information that could compromise our nation's security" is the whole idea behind classification.
HTTP and HTML are still as free as ever. EME is just a Javascript API that triggers when encrypted media content arrives. And the implementation can be as simple as returning "no, I don't support DRM" and still be compliant.
