it worked, but it was primarily a DEC effort, not an MS one. DEC did the heavy lifting in cooperation with MS in an effort to get mainstream adoption of Alpha processors.
the solution of moving off planet is a dubious "solution" for Earth itself. It presumes that we could move off planet at a rate that significantly exceeds the reproduction rate of humans. The solution may preserve humans as a species, but Earth itself and any people living here are doomed unless an event like a massive virulent plague (or similar human specific disaster) strikes humans. But ultimately, this solution is just recreating the same problem on another planet. Until we are able to somehow get reproduction rates under control, it's inevitable.
If you allow your large distribution lists to be used by all, you are handing your own users a loaded weapon with a round chambered. You'd think professional email sysadmins would know this, sigh
In the near future, any Apple user will be easily identified by the bag of expensive dongles he/she would have to carry to maintain functionality.
Wireless?! Gimme a break, anyone that shoots photos in volume with a DSLR (I routinely get over 1000 shots from a single live music venue shoot, low/variable light and moving subjects makes for a huge number of throwaway shots ) knows that wireless, even relatively current 802.11ac (which nearly no cameras have) can't keep up with a high volume shooting situation for even just still JPGs, let alone RAW files or video. The physically connected card has nearly an order of magnitude advantage in throughput.
They are basically ceding the professional market to Linux/Windows machines.
SpaceX not existing without NASA today means nothing, the can surpass them. And it doesn't have to be "colonization", first boots on the ground may be all that matters for what I describe.
Whether you acknowledge it or not, you ARE racing SpaceX and others. You might be cordial, collegial and supportive while doing it, but it's still a race and the first to achieve it will reap at least a large public relations reward, a place in history, and in business world a significant "first mover" advantage. Denying that the competition exists doesn't change the fact of whether a competition actually exists.
Using "gun director" fire control radar on Navy ships as much as fifty years ago this was possible, the beams from those radars were able to kill birds in flight and easily fry electronics within a certain range. This is nothing new, at all.
Basically, not only is Verizon abandoning the copper cable plant that they built and were expected to maintain because they accepted government money to build it and maintain it in the first place, but they are also involuntarily switching customers from a Public Utility Commission regulated utility to an unregulated one that lacks features of the land line service. I'm absolutely sure that the obvious illegality of this has been appropriately muted by well applied lobbying and campaign dollars to the appropriate local and state politicians right?
"You do have a few bad eggs, as with any profession. The untrained, the illsuited or the downright malicious. However, I'd suggest that these folks account for a small percentage of officers."
the "good" officers know who these people are, and they are made less good by allowing them to continue to operate in their midst lowering the trust level of their entire organization.
No rose colored glasses, and I'm a US citizen who has travelled to EU countries frequently. No place is perfect, I just know from personal direct observation travelling in EU and closely associated countries like Switzerland that in exchange for the higher taxes that roads, public transit, education, health care and other government services are in an entirely different (better) realm of quality than what we get here in the US. You get what you pay for.
Dirty little secret that Americans don't seem to understand, high taxes in a non-corrupt, non-military industrial complex dominated government pays for things like high quality roads, telecom and other infrastructure.
Have you even visited Europe? Ever?
Pittsburgh resident here, they are going to get some tremendous testing data here right now. The level of construction obstruction is at an all time high this year. If it can negotiate this mess, it can handle most any road I've ever travelled on worldwide.
Great that they can exist on renewables like this, mean it. But using an essentially non-industrial country in a temperate climate as an example is statistical bias at best, outright lying at worse.
How many aluminum smelters, steel plants, large data centers, and other myriad large bulk power users exist in Costa Rica? You know, the things that allow humans to actually build a first world country capable of supporting a large urban population?
Yeah, thought so.
Any employee taking this option is a fool. They would be voluntarily giving up the (sometimes meager) benefits of being defined as a full time employee under US law.
Great for Amazon, terrible for the employee.
Very effective at making operators forget that they are training to kill other human beings, make it easier to unthinkingly shoot when told regardless of right/wrong.
Yeah I get it, it has influence even on the lives of techies, but I can get this sort of new from ANY site, that's not what I come here for. Lay off the general political news please editors, unless you can draw a clear singular tech connection. Kthanks
Likely a difference between the cost of having an employee to the company vs. what the employee actually takes home. Very different numbers. But the cost of an employee is what drives the decision, not the take home pay which is less than half of that cost.
So this bot driven scalping activity is illegal now in NY? How about they apply the same principal and block a similar practice by large Wall Street firms in our stock, commodities, futures, etc. markets? Bot driven trading has an identical effect in blocking out human participation, or making that participation less lucrative for human participants in the market. I guess if a large bank does it then it's ok then eh?
Given that nearly every major tech company has large presence in multiple foreign countries, then they move their headquarters outside the US. For instance, I know for a fact that MS has contingency plans to move headquarters 60 miles up the road to Vancouver BC for some situations and given their presence in India, that likely wouldn't be much of a challenge either. I'm sure that most other big players are similar. They simply leave to avoid the law. Yay, great for America right?
the opinion of the victim has no bearing on the law as written, there's a reason we don't allow crime victims to try and punish criminals.
The 4th amendment says "get a warrant from a judge" and that exact thing is done thousands of times a day in the US. Why don't you justify why the FBI shouldn't play in this routine and expedient process? Judges are on call 24x7 for exactly that sort of activity. They are asking for an explicit bypass on a clear constitutional protection.

not to mention that what is "good" is perceived very differently within the department than it is by many outside the department.
unlike the police who keep getting caught in lies about what actually happened by bystander cameras?

How was the hydrogen used in the train produced and delivered?
Mobileye doesn't want the liability exposure in that market, whether or not their product actually fulfills the role that Tesla is using it for.

so just like Chrome then?
