Really? Try buying a digital IP security camera that does NOT use Flash to encode its output. Good luck. There are millions of flash-based IP security cameras out there now, and they all suddenly become obsolete on 1 Jan 2020? I don't think so.
Sorry you are incorrect. The EXACT SAME hardware did NOT malfunction at sea level altitude, but when relocated to Denver at 5000+ ft above sea level it displayed a statistically significant increase in single bit ECC errors.This behavior has been studied by numerous organizations, including IBM, Sun Microsystems, and others. See this IEEE technical talk: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r6/scv...
Back around 1999/2000 I was with Cisco engineering on the GSR 12000 (the first Cisco service provider class router).
We did send a system to a POP in Denver (altitude 5000+ ft) and saw on this system a statistically significant increase in recoverable memory ECC errors.
When the affected board was returned to San Jose and retested (basically sea level) the errors could not be reproduced.
So we returned the hardware back to the Denver POP, and the recoverable ECC errors returned. No amount of swapping memory DIMMs (various vendors) made a difference.
Any satellite hardware designer will tell you that cosmic radiation is a big deal for satellite design. And lead shielding is not a cost effective option in space.
Do you understand what 'programmed' in assembly means? Does not mean there is an assembler or interpreter on the device, only that the source code was written in assembler for some processor architecture, assembled to a binary image, and then programmed into ROM/FLASH/etc on the target device.
'Programmed in C' does not mean your fancy toothbrush has to have GCC running on it to be able to do its thing any more than 'programmed in assembler' does.
This is Germany, right? Back in the olden days the culture was if someone on high told you to do something (turn on the gas) you did it no questions asked. Maybe that culture still exists (following directions without asking questions).
They can fill a moneypit OFFSHORE from the United States. A majority of Apple's $200B cash hoard is overseas. They have massive DEBT of $40B+ in the US. So if Apple is going to build an iCar it will be in China most likely.
I consider Apple's entry into the automobile design realm as some executive(s) wet dream. The biggest problem is they don't know what they don't know.
Anybody remember when able bought the Cray supercomputer back in the 80s so they could use it to prototype next-generation CPU designs?
If I'm going to support a candidate for the job of POTUS I expect them to get elected and then do the f***ing job for at least four years. If he says he will be a one term president up front I then applaud him for that. But getting elected so he can resign makes no sense. Go back to academia where you can play what if. We need a real POTUS committed to the job of running the country.
No where near 50% is lost these days in modern AC/DC or DC/AC conversion devices. Solar panel DC/AC inverters run at 95% to 98% conversion efficiency. Likewise modern AC/DC converters can easily achieve 90 to 95% conversion efficiency. Unless he uses very bulky low voltage, high current cables, he could easily be losing 3-5% of transmitted DC power in those.
He would be better off keeping his residence on AC and covering his roof with as many solar panels as he can fit.

More correctly Cupertino is 98% non-black.

Yeah because only one candidate has ever held elective office. The other is just a poser.

Sorry, but cases such as this exist.

US$21B over the next 35 years? Pocket change even if it ends up costing 10X as much. Better than building useless islands in the South China Sea.
In some unnamed southern states shooting the drone operator would be LEGAL, but shooting the drone would not be.
Maybe it is not a 'mistake' but rather an obfuscated backdoor?
Twitter should die. It is just a source for rumors and unsubstantiated drivel. It no longer has any redeeming value.
When people played by the rules, it sort of worked. No longer. The dark side of humanity has found an outlet for their hate, and loves it.
Spew hatred and untruth to hundreds of thousand, and millions, of people, with just a #hashtag and a click.
Twitter is responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. He could not have done what he did without Twitter.
Twitter is responsible for the rise of DAESH/ISIL/ISIS. They could not have rose to the prominence they have without Twitter.
Twitter must die.

X86, ARM, AVR, IBM360, PDP8, or what? Just saying 'assembly' is not all that interesting. Processor architecture(s) would be interesting to know.
The area of the UK is about 95K sq miles, about the same as the state of Wyoming. The 48 contiguous states are 30X larger than the UK in area.
So yeah it is a lot easier to deploy infrastructure when the amount you have to deploy is 30X less.
Patented in 1992, 24 years ago. Patent would have expired even if it had not been abandoned in 1995 due to non payment of maintenance fee.
The only one who will win anything on this is Mr Florida's lawyer for his fees. Hopefully he is not so stupid as to take this on contingency.
Everybody just VPN into Facebook, they have our back!
Problem solved!
Kill me now.
The Real True One And Only Donald would never post as AC! Imposter! :-)
I don't think I could take more that 140 characters of Donald Trump at one time!
Donald Trump. Just say no.

Just as reliable a source as all those who attribute the code to the NSA.
More reliable IMHO. NetScreen founded by Chinese nationals, sustaining engineering has been done in China.
Don't you mean the *CSA* (ie, the Chinese Security Agency) and not the NSA? Juniper code was infected in China. Cisco has development in China also.
Your MARGINAL tax rate could be close to 50%. However your EFFECTIVE tax rate on all your entire income is likely not anywhere near 50%.
Is this less of a Cisco/Juniper problem and more of a FedEX/UPS/DHL problem?
When I ship a package via FedEx et al, I don't expect it to be detoured thru the local NSA office to be 'enhanced'.
I expect it to be delivered intact and not adulterated. Come on FedEx et al, do your job!
How about relocating Syrian refugees into these unused housing units?
