B/c the core components may need to be updated in certain circumstances.... such as when the source code for your bootloader leaks and gets exploited six ways to Sunday.
This is why I've been running OS X for the past decade or so -- most of the AAA apps with none of the Windows nonsense. It's worth the hours or days it takes to get set up and stable for me to actually be able to tell my computer what to do instead of the other way around. Last week I had to fire up a Windows 10 VM to fix some code in Visual Studio, and Windows decided to install the "Fall Creators" update and restart while I was taking a break. I only lost enough work for it to be annoying rather than catastrophic, but seriously... don't fucking restart my computer unless you're going to save my application states. Oh wait, Windows can't do that either.
People in a panic to leave the point of a thermo nuclear detonation, if it really worked a lot of people should have died and been injured trying to escape it
Escape it how? It's an island. Surrounded by water. For miles.
The term "open source" as used by the IC is a relatively recent phenomenon, postdating the software term by at least a decade. It was probably appropriated from the software sense in the way a music writer might unintentionally incorporate a melody he's heard before, but it probably did not arise independently, since there are plenty of technical folks in the IC who would have been using the software term about at work.
Not only that, but in rural areas, thereâ(TM)s typically one town that serves as a hub for a vast swath of the area around it. The 2000 residents of the town were probably the minority of people using that town to fill their prescriptions (and buy groceries, household goods, etc.).
And thatâ(TM)s without even discussing whether that town served as a regional distribution hub. I donâ(TM)t know how prescription drug distribution networks work, but it seems plausible that one distributor would be responsible for acquiring supplies for other smaller shops in a region.
I agree that this sounds like statistics being abused to evoke an emotional response.
0.0001 what? BTC(C?) If Bitcoin Cash (or any other currency) becomes successful, it will inherently become a victim of its own value. It's like trying to use gold as cash when the supply is fluctuating faster than people can calculate the value.
The problem with cryptocoins is that they inherently represent value proportional to the amount of work they took to create. They are *always* valued (or worthless) based fundamentally on their intrinsic properties, and that makes them an asset, not a currency.
There's a reason societies around the world switched to fiat currency: The only things that make good currencies are things that are otherwise without any utility or intrinsic value, like cash, or imaginary cash inside of an imaginary vault. As soon as the representation of worth becomes itself worth something, it stops being useful as a currency. See also: coin collecting.
, whereas cash is only tied to work or value through mutual agreement in the exchange for goods or services.
It doesn't really matter whether the cost differential comes from raising costs of labor ("artificial" or organic), or through falling technology prices -- at some point automation is going to be cost effective. Whether that's +/-1 year, 10 years, or 100 years is really inconsequential in the scheme of things -- moreso since we're making zero effort to plan for an economy that doesn't require people to work. It's not like "oh shit, we were about to implement our vision for a leisure society but goddamned Carl's Junior jumped the gun on us."
Kinetic orbital strikes are neither cost effective nor practical, and plausibly deniable attacks can be carried out through far less conspicuous methods. If we were to lead a preemptive strike against DPRK or its leadership (as preemptive action and regime change has always worked out so well for us in the past), we would probably want credit anyway, otherwise it's just a freak accident, not a warning by example. There's no need for subtly.
Hope not. âoeFixingâ a flaw by creating another one is terrible practice, and more precision can be gained in timing attacks (and all measurements in general) by simply averaging and/or increasing the load.
Actually, we don't have to do anything. If people, government, monied interests, or some combination thereof want to change the status quo, they will.
Relegating hams to non-interference instead of service providers would honestly make way more sense. In the event of an emergency where there's a local internet outage, any restrictions won't matter since a) there won't be anything to interfere with, b) prosecution of almost any law requires mens rea (criminal intent) and trying to save lives is the opposite of that, and c) nobody is going to have time to track down operators anyway.
I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I couldn't hear your rational argument over the uproarious laughter of Ajit & Donald, and the cacophony of gold being thrown at them by telcos.
First of all, I don't believe that we have "design specs" when it comes to longevity, or any other characteristic. Indeed, the fact that "a ton of really important things start going wrong at the same time," is evidence of either a lack of design or poor design IMO.
To my understanding, there are essentially three major problems, which may be interrelated to various degrees.
1) DNA degradation over time 2) Insufficient repair and regrowth of damaged tissue 3) Inadequate waste removal, including cholesterol and heavy metals.
If we find a treatment for the first, we will likely solve the second.
There has been no evolutionary pressure to solve any of these things. In fact, we could just as easily call reproduction the solution to these problems, since it avoids all of them while maintaining the survival of the species. It does little for the survival of individuals, however, and may even hasten the aging process.;)
If you believe that Afghanistan is the only country where we send hard currency, or that bribing villagers with micropayments is the only use of cash, you're sorely mistaken.
âoe [T]he event itself unfolded in less than three human-designated weeks.â
Unless another species has defined weeks (and in a conflicting manner), I donâ(TM)t think we really need to specify that the weeks were human-designated.
Cash probably would be outlawed, if governments themselves didn't need to conduct untraceable transactions. Unless you think we ship pallets of cash to third world countries because we can't figure out how to give people bank accounts and wire transfers.
The compromise is that it's asymmetrical from top to bottom, or from side to side in landscape. Rounded corners are ridiculous too IMO -- they certainly weren't a "feature" in CRTs -- but at least they seem like a deliberate choice. The notch feels like they tried to cram too much on the front of the phone. Personally I would have preferred removing everything from the front except a fingerprint-through-glass sensor. If an edge-to-edge screen is *that* important, then do it all the way. If it's not, then leave a bezel. A notch is a half-assed compromise.

Exactly. Like when Iraq attacked us.
Somebody set them up the bomb.

Ideally, get underground.

That's unpossible, since a) memory is accessed pseudorandomly, at best, and b) that wasn't a dream. You said you would call me, asshole!

Stop yelling, grandpa!
Literally, an actual hamster was dancing on a birthday card??? Where did the battery come into play? Was he shocked into compliance?

Notch + curved corners + FaceID - TouchID = first iPhone I won't be buying, ever.
