They're already priming the pump. I saw a Comcast commercial just two days ago that was claiming how great their new, faster service was going to be and it "included Netflix".

There are many real-world situations where you DO need the power of a full Win 10/Core i7 PC to accomplish something, and DO need to look stuff up on the internet all the time while you are doing this - technical details or technical knowhow for example - but are constantly fretting that exposing the ENTIRE PC or laptop to the internet could result in your work being stolen.
No, there aren't. There are *some* situations where that *might* be of interest, but there are not *many*. You are fooling yourself into thinking that the size of your personal need is somehow indicative of the market size of that solution. It's most certainly not.
You have a dog in this fight. You need to stop replying and start listening. Take the advice/comments you like and ignore the others. Your use case is simply too narrow to justify development. At some point you'll need to accept this and move on to the other (seeming reasonable, IMO) suggestions. For example, if you really have a big ol' 17" CAD laptop that you have to lug around, then an extra, thin, light weight tablet is *not* going to be noticeable to you...and given that no commercial application like what you're looking for has been maintained beyond initial release due to lack of interest as a previous commenter pointed out, you should probably start to acknowledge that no matter how good the idea might seem to you and your specific situation, it's doesn't apply to enough other people to justify it.
And, BTW, referring to the extra IC as "little" and "small" over and over again isn't going to change the effort, complexity or market reality one bit. You're trying to trivialize the issue with verbal trickery. It's lame. Stop.
However, the fact that Apple plans to ditch iTunes LPs in 2018 potentially hints at the possibility that Apple may stop selling iTunes music downloads in the near future.
I know nothing about ChromeOS code. So clearly I shouldn't be surprised that I'm struggling to make since of this commit. But the size of this change seems small enough that I might expect to at least be able to make the two ends meet (the part storing and managing the new policy key and the part that reads that key and acts upon it).
But I can't. All I see are things related to storing and managing the key. I don't understand how this newly created "thing" has any effect on the operation of the OS. Where is that policy checked? I assume there's some application layer outside of this structure that's acting upon the value of this new key, yes? Where could one find that?
He needs to write it down on a yellow sticky note stuck to his monitor. Obs. Good enough for the operations manager Jeffrey Wong, good enough for him. https://qz.com/1181763/hawaiis...
Posts like this are why I still come to Slashdot. This place is still the best resource I've found where people with such a diverse set of highly skilled talents can all post about experiences and information that they are intimately familiar with in their respective trades and we all learn / grow from that. Thanks!
Damn it...this is twice now in as many days that I've had to check to make sure I was on the right site. A considerate, well-reasoned debate between two people with differing opinions and reasonable knowledge to base them on!? And it didn't just instantly degrade into a poo-flinging, dick-swing pride-fest!? WTF!? Nice!
Are you sure you're on the right forum? This sounds suspiciously like owning up to an honest mistake and moving on. That's not going to cut it around here.
Typically you can get up to 1/3 performance doing dynamic translation of instructions.
Yeah, I guess that's the part that surprises me most about this. It's already an underpowered system running straight ARM stuff. So I'm thinking they put some extra cool, highly-optimized translation layer in this to get it working acceptably.
Of course, my assumption that it works "acceptably" could be wrong too...
Presumably not since I'm sure it relies heavily on the WoW system to work. But that native x86->ARM instruction set layer just seems pretty cool to me.
As odd as it might sound, the coolest part of this to me is the work put into the emulation layer... I've probably been living under a rock in this area, though. Are good, working, fast x86 Win32 emulators for ARM processors so commonplace these days that the feature doesn't even get a mention in the summary?
Older established folks want a normal work week but can put out a better product.
I hadn't thought of it that way before but you're probably hitting the nail on the head. The companies that people feel aren't hiring older engineering types are probably the very same companies whose profit margins aren't necessarily defined by a "better product". Companies that have to compete with other companies (i.e., MOST) *want* to hire people they feel confident will improve the quality of their product not the number of webpages and ads they can fling around. In *that* area, age is irrelevant and it's all talent and/or experience.
Guess there's a lot of common misconceptions about age discriminations.
Agreed. Mid-40s here and honestly, when I want a job (which isn't all the time, BTW), I find one. If you're mid-40s and walk in with a mid-20s resume, expect to struggle. But if you're mid-40s and have all the experience and knowledge and success one might expect with a qualified mid-40s applicant, well, I've never seen age be the issue; perhaps the salary requirement that typically goes along with that, of course, but not age itself.
It's as valid as me opining about the health impacts
As well-worded as the rest of your post was, I thought it right to point out that this should read "my opining" (gerund, noun, possessive). it seems you have the inclination and ability to produce readable prose; and I admire that greatly, particularly for an AC. But that does make the few mistakes stand out even more clearly.
[quote]Facebook Live has "masks" now (think Snapchat's Lenses)[/quote] Yes, thanks, that clears everything up for me. I totally know what "Snapchat's Lenses" are.
The social media buzzword generator for whatever awesome new feature thing-a-ma-bob of the day is driving me nuts. Can I use my Giphy-powered Slack API to Mask a Snapchat Lense on all this stupid horseshit?
Is this some new phone-friendly / hipster version of the IRC "/me ducks" thing from the late 90s? If so, sigh. If not, carry on. And get off my lawn while you're at it.

My bad.

All this because Jobs wanted to go thermonuclear on Google for stealing iPhone market share and Mr. Larry vowed to avenge his lost friend?

Cars and rockets are fine but the Hyperloop is definitely a pipe dream.
I see what you did there.
