The article you linked to is not about immigration policy. It is a flame-bait piece railing against supposed rampant illegal immigration and decrying how some Canadian cities are declaring themselves "Sanctuary Cities", which in the author's opinion is apparently sending Canada down the toilet. But, even so, that article briefly mentions how "Our rules are tough but fair, they’re applied evenly and they focus on bringing the best people to Canada and benefiting all Canadians."
Shit's fucked up. When will people have had enough?
They never will have enough, because this isn't addressing their problem - but they can't figure that out.
So they'll promote reactionary policies like this one... then, when things don't get any better, they'll say "obviously we just need to go even further" because they can't figure out that tightening immigration isn't going to bring the coal mining jobs back or magically make a bunch of white people suddenly willing to work long hours for low pay out in the brutal Fresno sun.
Funny thing is... this proposed plan would move US immigration policy closer to that of Canada and the EU, with more emphasis on prioritizing immigrants with particular skills and/or some level of wealth.
Then, last September, there was this article which says Netflix hasn't decided. They say HEVC saves them 20% of storage space versus the equivalent VP9 encode; but on the other hand VP9 saves them royalty payments.
Hmm, they seem to be talking across each other. We know that Netflix is actually offering HEVC (h.265) streams right now, per my original link; and here is their manager of encoding technology talking about it back in 2014.
But there is one company much bigger than Apple when talking about video and that is of course Netflix. Whatever Netflix decides, companies will have to follow.
The three - soon to be four - most recent generations of iPhones have hardware support for h.265 already built-in. Apple has been using the codec for FaceTime for three years now.
I suspect Google will support h.265 in addition to their own codecs. I mean, they talked a lot about removing h.264 support, but when push came to shove they quietly shelved that idea.
Many people are demanding better quality movies instead of the crap that currently gets churned out by Hollywood. But apparently the studios think that means we want to see more of JJ Abram's patented lens flare in higher resolution.
I love DS9. The characters have depth, and the writers didn't treat each one as if they existed in a vacuum. They might have focused more on a particular individual for a specific episode, but the rest of the characters would still be believably intertwined in the story.
Also, it had well-written and well-acted antagonists - that tends to make a show stronger (just like how the best Bond movies always had strong villains). Gul Dukat was complicated, conflicted, and amazing. Weyoun wasn't quite as deep, but Jeffrey Combs sold it (he also may have been the best thing about Enterprise). The Founders were evil and awful, but as you learned more you could see how they were driven down that path.
I also really liked the way they wrote Benjamin and Jake Cisco. They weren't just father and son for the sake of the occasional plot line - they had a relationship which felt real (something TNG couldn't manage with Worf and Alexander).
It seems like the main complaint I hear about DS9 is that some people just don't like long story arcs... but I'm not one of those people.
Your scenario assumes the provider has built out enough backhaul capacity from each tower to handle a completely saturated local cell. I, on the other hand, am cynically assuming they don't because doing so would have slightly diminished their massive profits.
The blogger - and many of the responders here - are debating the size of LinkedIn's app. But, given the bad things we know that LinkedIn has tried to do with that app on more than one occasion... why does anyone even consider having that piece of malware on their phone at all?
I was going to make a joke about the moon's small size being due to evaporation caused by anthropogenic global warming; but I was worried some people here would think I was being serious.

All joking aside... this is really cool, potentially life-changing tech.
Such as the ones for Lightspeed Brand Briefs?
cooties are real
Yes - but they're totally worth it!
Actually, it has exactly the immigration policy I think it has.

Plenty of opportunities here. And no Trump.

I will enjoy using it for the 18-24 months Google offers it.

The cost looks to be $.005 (half a cent, US) per streaming user per month.
If they are going to link to Other Angles, common sense and fairness would dictate that they also include links to at least a few Saxons.
But there is one company much bigger than Apple when talking about video and that is of course Netflix. Whatever Netflix decides, companies will have to follow.
I suspect that decision has already been made... indications are Netflix is going with h.265.
The three - soon to be four - most recent generations of iPhones have hardware support for h.265 already built-in. Apple has been using the codec for FaceTime for three years now.

I think the studios got confused.

Unfortunately, yes.
Greater data demand -- either more data usage or more customers -- means slower speeds. Think of it as increased traffic on a highway.
This is only true if the provider doesn't improve its infrastructure, increasing total bandwidth available to better support that increased demand.
I don't know why it didn't occur to them to just write better code, but apparently it didn't.
When you're trying to conquer the world, you can't be bothered with trifles.
Here's something I really don't get.

Don't forget it requires HHVM because that's so much faster than PHP ;-P
I think you're confusing the server side of things with the client side.

I know there is betting on WWE PPV results, I imagine there is some gambling on who dies in GoT episodes.
I'm betting $500 on the answer being "everyone".
I care less about how this impacts unlocking the phone... what's more important is how they'll handle Apple Pay if there's no fingerprint scanner.
But "raise to wake" works pretty well already.
