MoFo is expert at making excuses for architectural deficiencies that slay the UX but have 15-year-old bugs on them because "that touches a lot of code". And fostering an environment where that's A-OK. In the time that Mozilla's not been able to get async tasks out of the UI thread, Elon Musk has build a spaceship company that's gone to the ISS and landed a rocket back to Earth. It's either a lack of engineering discipline or absurdist leadership - hard to say which or both but no for-profit firm would tolerate such complacence.
Right - but you know who didn't show up? Bernie Sanders (S-VT). He claims to be a civil libertarian but couldn't bother to join the other Democrats who came to support the issue.
I think we know where his masters are on this issue - he's deep into the F-35 fighter jet fiasco; MIC is where his bread is buttered.
Perhaps now they can bring back background play for mobile devices, so I don't have to stay on the youtube app to listen to music/podcasts/etc posted there.
This was the #1 most-requested feature on the YouTube app since it first appeared. Google *finally* released it - and it's the most expensive in-app purchase ever - you have to pay $120/yr to get it.
At the same time they changed the YouTube ToS to forbid third-party apps from providing the same functionality and aggressively started pursuing legal claims against the developers.
That's right. If the story is even true, the point is likely to see how you approach it, not if you get the exact distance right. If somebody grabbed paper and pencil to work out the math and I'd asked this question that would be a serious demerit - he didn't bother checking for requirements. That's the difference between being a competent thinker and a nerd - I don't suspect SpaceX runs on nerds.
If you want to know something that's happening right now, you go search Twitter. If you just want to read articles written about something that happened yesterday, you search Google.
Google hates "you go search NotGoogle". Their benefit is obvious - they sell ads for the same searches.
They should have done this five years ago - the old nimble Google of 2001 would have quickly indexed Twitter and Facebook, and every other silo of information. It's only Big Corporate Google that can't acknowledge another source of information for some sort of ego-bruising related reason. "Index all the world's information... except if it's hosted by a company run by that guy down the street who drives that ridiculous 918 Spyder".
They figured out a long time ago that it was more efficient and gave better quality results to have one Government Printing Office than ten thousand printing offices - the same logic applies to IT. IT can be both commoditized and customized by qualified individuals - if the Navy needs something special, then the Government IT Office should have to acquire skills to meet the Navy's needs. Intelligence already has specialized IT systems, to handle classification transitions - hire those guys away to the GITO. The Navy should be building ships, not data centers - more Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
One of the challenges we face is, in fact, internal IT systems and the power silos' automatic turn towards secrecy whenever oversight is required. See: IRS backups, State Dept. emails, SEC authentication, NSA everything, etc. The GAO could have their statutory power if the IT were centralized, which is why it isn't. Where's Rand Paul on this? Filibustering must be good for popularity, but it's not striking at the root.
MAYBE this is the best use of re-tasking the NSA's existing bureaucracy, if killing it outright isn't feasible. Though why would the Navy trust them after how they've behaved? But we don't need a General in charge of the Printing Office, so the IT Office may become trustworthy if it devolves to civilian with strong oversight.
Apple is obviously eating companies and barfing up cash like a corporate NoFace at this point - there was a story here just the other day about calculating location to 1/3 meter using DSP on GPS multipath reflections which is good enough for anything but robotic construction. Iridium reception is going to just add cost - the overwhelming trend is cheaper sensors and more processing power.
Who cares? None of the Federal mandates on the People are funded. Amtrak can figure out a way to become more efficient and follow the law or the administrators can quit and get out of the way.
They have until the end of this year to get PTC up and running on all trains, or they should be force-marched to Federal prison, like the rest of the hoi-palloi. Live by the sword, die by the run-away train.
But I want a car that I'm going to keep for 15 years to be obsolete in two!:)
Seriously, why don't we just have an activation code for an e.g. "Toyota App" for Android and iOS and a wifi display protocol as standard features by now? I can understand in 2010 why this wasn't the case, but at this point - people who eschew smartphones in 2015 should certainly be able to buy a $60 Android stick to plug in instead.
Oh, right - here's why the headline is complete nonsense - the PC Revolution was the perfect example of what happens when an industry is unregulated. We get things like the Internet. Thank you, you awful capitalist bastards.
I saw the full trailer last week before Ex Machina - unless the trailer was godawful garbage, to me it looked like the budget was way too high, the action direction cheeky to a fault (e.g the zooms in to childlike sneers) and the color grading was entirely wrong. I like my Mad Max low-budget and gritty - *like the universe its set in*. The vehicles were so overly-elaborate in this one that it broke the suspension of disbelief ("can we get some more spikes on that? Here's another $50K"). Maybe it's full of all kinds of acting brilliance that never made the trailer, but nothing in what I saw made me want to see this installment.
yeah, and think of the lower-powered chips. If I can get an HTTPS server into cache at 10W TDP, a whole new class of apps becomes possible. How small can a Go runtime be?
yeah, I turned it off after nine minutes and switched to Adam Savage building a Kirk chair, which was more dramatic and better-shot. The director was both disrespectful of the audience's time and too lazy to use more than one camera on any given scene, or go back and get secondary photography with the one camera he could afford to rent. I was watching his long zooms and imagining all the obvious good shots he was ignoring. Poor UK folk who didn't know to show up 30 minutes late to ESB.

I give every company a different email address and my Facebook one doesn't get spam. Just because you can dream up some crazy scenario doesn't prove it, especially in the face of conflicting evidence.
Mostly FB shows me ads for crap I've already decided not to buy at online retailers. If Big Data were any good they'd detect my "this is crap" browsing patterns and not waste their money on it.
I'm not sure if this flies in two party consent states.
It does not - this was settled in the Gericke decision, and Glick weighs heavily as well. Technically it's only binding in the 1st Circuit (Northeast and Puerto Rico) but good luck finding a judge in the 9th Circuit or similar to try to go against it.

Don't worry - it runs in kernel space for performance.
Usually it's simple confusion between 'decimation' and 'devastation'.

No.

No.

I don't agree with Lord Vader, but I support the Stormtroopers.

Since when does not being ignorant matter for forcing your opinion in our society ? They don't call it Democracide for nothing.
even ignoring epigenetics, behaviors are absolutely patterned and conditioned by parents.
translation: "If they were honest how much would people contribute "?
Just because ethical behavior is harder doesn't excuse unethical (immoral: deception) behavior.
I give every company a different email address and my Facebook one doesn't get spam. Just because you can dream up some crazy scenario doesn't prove it, especially in the face of conflicting evidence.

use ZFS l2arc/zil or flashcache/dm-cache to get a happy medium.
don't worry, they'll order the NSA to stop right after a new TLA is spun up to take the program.
I'm not sure if this flies in two party consent states.
