World of Warcraft has features that should have been in these kinds of games all along. Not just immediate buyback of an oops-sold item, but restoration of deleted/destroyed/disenchanted items, as long as you have the materials or money you got from the destructive act. This can be days or weeks later.
Tracking provenance on items doesn't need a block chain. Just additional coding for owner lists as it changes hands, along with mods to the item. Normally companies scrub that so it just needs to store a generic item ID to KISS.
If the Pavillon de Breteuil burned down tomorrow and the kilogram in its vaults melted, we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system. There would be chaos.
That would absolutely be inconvenient, because it is the master reference.
However, other reference kilograms exist, for example, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology has a kilogram and a meter. These secondary references are sometimes used to compare against the primary reference kilogram to ascertain drift.
It would be an annoyance to lose the master, but not a disaster.
Anyway it will soon be redefined in terms of nonphysical objects so the window of problem is small.
TFA stated these are no more than a milligram accurate to each other.
Anyway, now we can state with much greater precision that a neckbeard gaining 10 kg/year is gaining 0.3170979198 micrograms per second. What accuracy!
It even notes the rate remains similar, just that it's costing more.
This is nothing unexpected, and in an economically free society, people can actually keep ahead of the curve, inventing faster and faster and solving problems faster than they become long-term problems.
In short, the OP statement about less bang for its buck is accurate, but the wrong way to look at it.
They don't. It's an invention the exact same as a motor or an LED. The mental processes and actions are exactly the same. Only philosophers know the difference, but they don't, because an invented motor is just a proof of a motor theory "discovered".
Microsoft announced Friday that it is opening up its online apps store to 64-bit ARM app submissions from developers, further cementing its commitment to take a cut of every app sale on Windows just like on phones.
A severed head is speaking, forgetting its origins.
Nicotene is bad because smoking is bad. Nicotene isn't bad because nicotene is bad.
Quit trying to play up minimal dangers severed from the actual dangers that spawned them.
I haven't seen this much idiocy since the mercury/vaccine/autism link was disproven, yet by that point mercury per se was viewed as bad in vaccines, severed from the (false) autism link.
We are seeing a similar thing with gluten intolerance, a real issue for a small minority, and everyone hearing on the Internet gluten is bad. Like the old game where a dozen people tell the same secret in a circle, and it gets distorted as it goes around, so too did gluten become severed from its "bad" link to the rare disease, mercury in vaccines got severed from its"bad" (and false!) link to autism, and nicotene from smoking itself, which was why it was bad, the burn product, not the addiction-causing nicotene.
We now return you to your arena filled with chickens with their heads cut off.
Nothing is stopping a rogue program from lying about its buffer size it supplies to an API, even inside the ultimate runtime type safety of some languages.
Anyway, the Internet world, AKA the desktop world in a previous incarnation, could use some catching up to the high-liability embedded world, where buffer size checks are required. It still won't stop rogue programs from lying, but should catch internal errors and mistakes.
UK, he talked to your bosses in the federal government of the EU. Why should he go talk to the UK government (a state in the federated EU) any more than he should go talk to New Jersey or Maryland?
This is what science does. People find something and publish the results for everyone to look at. If there is something wrong, other people point it out, and they go back to the drawing board.
This is how science is supposed to work; although, ideally, the errors are caught prior to publication - the process still worked correctly.
I assume CNN will have hours about it this evening?
Facebook will now attempt to bribe the French government to look the other way with unprecedented access to everyone's personal data, too.
A cynic might suggest this is the real reason government officials hassle deep pockets -- to get paid to get back out of the way. As it is pretty much everywhere worldwide. In the West, they just have to hide it better, under cover of official action. If you can induce into service "useful idiots", true believers to play up the sob stories, all the better, even if true.
Akshually it does. Those in power regularly use government to "investigate" their political enemies, thus scaring everyone off who might support them.
You don't think pretty much everyone (to say nothing of rich people with big enterprises under their control) can't have something found when the unlimited power of the state comes looking?
This is why government is, properly, forbidden from singling out uppity opposition people for investigation. This is the real reason for the 4th Amendment, by the way. Government (i.e. those with power) do not, actually, have the honor to just hassle their opponents to power.
The sequel was a good adventure movie, if you can ignore it stomping on the original by giving a prosaic, non-monolith reason for Hal going crazy. Wtf was Clarke thinking?

But what I would like to know is what brand of hard drive the images are stored on. Also the favorite coffee brand of the main developer.
Who on earth is interested in what cloud provider they used except for Google's marketing department?
I think you answered your own question. It's so important that not only do they mention Google Cloud, but they put "google_cloud" into the name for the link for the story itself.

How does someone 'discover' a theory?
They don't. It's an invention the exact same as a motor or an LED. The mental processes and actions are exactly the same. Only philosophers know the difference, but they don't, because an invented motor is just a proof of a motor theory "discovered".
Contrary to philosophy, it's all invention.

FTFY
You voted for it! You encourage voracious government for massive spending, as Shakespeare might have said, "As you like it!"
Times are better than ever before. Government spending should be shrinking. Yet it grows.
It's almost as if it has nothing to do with need and everything to do with buying votes!

The US Military is Making Balloons That Hover at the Edge of Space, Indefinitely
Kind of like how neckbeards make balloons (fat bellies) that hover over the Empty Space in front of their genitalia, indefinitely.
The FCC would only approve their frequency use plan of 7000 satellites, and not 7000 satellites per se as clutter. That would be something else.

New Yorkers Protest Amazon HQ2: 'We Should Be Investing in Housing ... Not in Helicopters'
"Sorry, the libs you vote for already bent over for us."
"Why are businesses fleeing cities? It can't be business-unfriendly politicies!"
"Oh no, businesses are coming back. They should give lots more money for the honor of providing jobs and increasing the tax base!"
We're looking at 300 kelvin vs. 302 kelvin, something on that order, like a 1% increase in total energy.
And hurricane strength is based on temp differences and humidity differences, so you are looking at a fraction of a percent in number and strength.
That's my prediction. Even if the sliding scale is much warmer, even freezing, it's still just a percent or two more, on average.
20 years, minimum
Ha ha!
It's exciting and fun to imagine we're in a country where this is common and increasing, rather than face the truth that it is rare and decreasing.

IANAL but many states include political beliefs in their anti-discrimination laws, and I think CA is one.

This movie was a seriously suboptimal experience. Long boring among other things. Would anyone bother watching it more than once?
Go back to /tv/, cuck.
