I really don't think I am. But you can't blame the browser for shitty design and shitty JS/Flash/plugin/whatever programming. The fact is that browsers are amazingly fast.
Possibilities: * You have too many slow addons enabled * You are out of RAM * The page is slow (big/complex) * Your network connection is slow/saturated * Their network connection is slow/saturated * You are out of CPU (unlikely)
Woah, ease up. No, I'm not in the business. I'm just trying to have a bit of a discussion about the issues I have with net neutrality.
In general I'm for it. But I do have issues with things *like* (not identical to) the article at hand.
You ask me to name an airport that has provides services like those I mention. I don't remember if it's LAX, SFO, or denver - but one of them has (or had) a pretty nice airport map webpage that would show where the airlines were and restaurants, etc.
You say that an airport giving access to these local services changes things - but I don't see how that can be. There is a price of admission to an airport - you're not there for free. It's buried in the plane ticket, but it's there.
The issue is, they're both carriers and service providers.
If that's really the issue, how is that different than the airport who is also providing a service and acting like a carrier? Scale is different - should that be the bar? What if the airport also offers free internet TV?
What I hope this is is the ability to go running and have your smart watch act as your phone. Get in your car and have the car stereo act as a phone. Then switch it back to the mobile phone device. That's something GV does not do or if it does it requires wifi.
My prius seamlessly transfers my [google voice] iphone calls to and from my phone as I'm starting/stopping the car. It just works.
I've never tried to transfer calls between other devcies - though I feel like it's supposed to work - as long as all those devices support gvoice.
The way I understand this to work is that each device's IMEI can be added to the pool for a particular number and you can select on the fly which device(s) are active. In addition they are offering that you can have multiple numbers and multiple IMEI's pooled between them.
The only thing surprising about this is why, in 2017, this hasn't happened sooner.
Other than it being free, email/text integration, spam call filtering, and a bunch of stuff like that - it does sound similar.
The one thing I don't like about gvoice is that it won't let me talk on my iPad. I rather suspect that's because of Apple, though - not google. So I'll be interested to see if TMobile supports ipad calling/talking.
Apple has said for the first time that it is working on technology to develop self-driving cars.
And in more detail:
The company is investing heavily in the study of machine learning and automation, and is excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation,” said the letter from Steve Kenner, Apple’s director of product integrity, to the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The difference is that they have not said they're making cars in the same way they do not make TVs. But they do make hardware/software that will drive your TV - so to speak.
Just as auto makers can make 'carplay' http://www.apple.com/ios/carpl... compatible cars, you can imagine they might one day make 'carpilot' compatible cars.

Not coding, per se, but everyone who works in the field should read and have their boss read: "The Mythical Man-Month" by Frederick Brooks
The best books from college (I haven't touched in nearly 20 years, but I'm really glad I had 'em back then): "The C Programming Language" (2nd Edition, 1988) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Richie "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools" - the dragon book
For most development projects, I would agree that going into the nitty gritty can seem like overkill. But, having a core understanding of low level programming can make a huge difference in application performance. The third book "Sorting and Searching" should be required reading for anyone who plans on getting involved with databases, even if they only plan on being a dba.
You can do a lot with high level programming languages, but if you skip assembly or C programming for at least a background on what is happening behind the scenes, it starts to feel more like alchemy than chemistry.
Sure. And I've coded in C (which I think almost has to be true for anyone who has worked in the field for >20 years). And I've written a bubble sort and a quick sort (in college and after). And a tree balancer in college at least. And I just don't feel like I need to slog through a volume on the subject...
I wasn't sure if I'd read 'em. I know a friend/colleague (who I regard highly) who has - and I think he thinks highly of them. But he also has terrible taste in movies.
I've been coding professionally for 25-30 years, depending on how you count. I studied CS in college. I've read a few outstanding books on the subject since then.
I don't have the patience for these, and I suspect I'm not going to miss out on much.
On the other hand, I long ago came to the conclusion that I'm really not interested in low level code. Give me a nice high level language with nice high level functions and features and I'm a happy coder. That's not to say that I don't understand O notation or the costs behind the complexity - but it is to say that I know when to use a drill and when to use a power saw - but I don't want to build either of 'em.
Maybe you're into the nitty gritty. Or maybe you like bad movies.
Check your local tech library and see if you can check out a copy. Or ebay 'em for $20-40/volume. Or if the pdf strikes your fancy, maybe take the plunge.
A no vote would equate to a vote of no-confidence for stock which is largely driven by speculation. As of this exact moment, neither Tesla nor SolarCity are super-profitable or dominant in their industries. But we're hoping it gets big. Why would we tank stock we own?
As an employee I probably shouldn't say anything - but I'm willing to quote others: https://cleantechnica.com/2015... (as of 2015): The market share of the leading US residential solar installers in this period are listed as follows:
SolarCity 34.1% Vivint Solar 11.6% Sunrun 2.6% NRG Home Solar 2% Sungevity 1.9%
Maybe triple the next largest installer isn't dominating?

Why would you not add on to your house? It's where your kitchen and bathroom are.
I guess the furthest away I've used is a room built into the garage - it was there when we bought the place.
OK - there is an alert when it's done. Is there a timer counting down?

The airport services aren't hosted at the airport! They're on AWS. So the only real packet inspection is IP address routing.
Does that change things?
The issue is, they're both carriers and service providers.
If that's really the issue, how is that different than the airport who is also providing a service and acting like a carrier? Scale is different - should that be the bar? What if the airport also offers free internet TV?
There are a few options. Start off lying about where you are by saying you're the next county over. Wherever they sell access.
Then you moved. You want to keep your service. Or your office is there. Whatever.
Or just lie about the distance initially.
Why would they have repeaters where they can't sell?
Yeah - that's something totally different. Anti-compete agreements are bogus.
Lie about where you live. Get a po box. Use a friend's address.
For your analogy to be correct, ATT and VZW would have to offer free services...
OK, change my analogy. For $1 you get flight info. For $30 you get the rest of the 'net.
You're at an airport. They have wifi. For free you can get online and see flight arrival/departure information on their super helpful internal site.
For $30 you can see the rest of the internet.
How is this not not net neutrality?
Never mind legal, how is this wrong?
These are the problems I have with net neutrality.
Nice! Thank you much.
Traffic in China is insane. Don't drive there.
But many of their traffic lights count down - which I think is awesome.

Does he still work at Apple?

As a fellow scientific programmer, I am curious to some of those "I've read a few outstanding books on the subject since then."
Could you be so kind as to give me a few pointers? Thanks a lot!
Ugh. I knew someone would ask that. I don't actually keep a bookshelf with these tomes.
Oh, good - here's an article that has a few: http://www.infoworld.com/artic...
Since college:
"Code Complete" by Steve McConnell (2004)
"The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas
A fun book to do with colleagues:
"Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" - https://pragprog.com/book/btla...

I have not read it.

Different beliefs.
Same intention.
Do we have any idea how this works? And do we know if we will be able to optimize this at all to get better performance?

I've never used the SD port. I don't personally know anyone who ever has.
But you have. So a question: how bad is it to just plug a dongle in using the USBC?
To no effect:
