The key point I got from the article is that they are creating or trying to create an artificial light field emitter. If this is true, the implications are staggering. Having a light field emitter would pretty much solve all hard visual problems like depth, resolution, lens artifacts etc. found in the classical systems like Rift and Vive.
So if this is really what they are making, then I can easily see why they got the big bucks.
If they had just included a simple off button, Intel ME could actually have turned out to be a useful management tool instead of the latest in draconian big brother software.
But what happens when everybody buys lumber at the store? There still must be somebody that make sure the lumber is the right size and quality for your project. This problem is exactly why we today need giga range cpu's and ram just to watch a web page. Nobody knows how to deal with the details any longer, and so they end up building a new house every time there is a new problem.
I think a big part of why GoT is so successful is because it does not follow the classic TV series formula. It's not dumbed down, the characters all have real reasons for their actions (instead of the low hanging cheap stuff usually used to generate instant plot twists). And most importantly every action come with real consequences that are carried trough regardless of how integral the character may be.
For this reason I worry about the success of a WoT series, since the story has a much more traditional story line.
Developers are by definition expert users of the software they write. This leads to a usage pattern that tend to leave certain bugs unexposed. Typically bugs related weird usage patterns etc. To find such bugs you need a certain level of stupid that only real users can supply.
Proving that the current favorite method for trying to stop ageing is infeasible, is not the same as saying stopping aging is impossible.
Human flight was impossible Wright up until the moment it was not (phun intended).
Sane stable businesses that demand high quality work at normal work hours. Typically business that does not revolve around VC money and the latest IT buzzwords.
The core idea seem to be that keyboards will go away the moment when we have 'flawless' speech recognition. But guess what. Speech is a terrible computer interface. It's slow, imprecise and physically taxing to do for long periods of time. Just imagine a room filled with developer, all talking over each other trying to code using speech.
Any experienced programmer will know very well that abstraction does not always make better solutions. The sad truth is that complex problems usually require complex solutions.
Why is that whenever a hack turns out to be even remotely complicated, it suddenly it has to be "sponsored by some state" or whatever? This makes no sense. Nobody is more motivated to learn and use the latest techniques then people doing this for fun and sports. Especially if it can be coupled with some personal vendetta or political view to keep the fire alive.
After many years sticking with Firefox, I figured since they seem hell bent on emulating Chrome, I might as well just use Chrome. And let's face it. For better or worse, Chrome is a much better Chrome then Firefox.. So it is going to take a lot to switch me back again at this stage.

Instead of doing one task very well, it's trying to do everything. With predictable results..

They positioned the well with overly aggressive advertisement, and now they wonder why they are getting thirsty?

All the celebrity crap is bad enough as it is. Not sure if I can take it if we start doing it in here also.
I stopped caring about them and left.
Seriously no joke. Once you have gotten used to a rooted phone features like full file access etc, there is no going back.
They probably would have gotten as good randomness just from putting the cameras in a dark room and using the analog noise in the camera sensors.

I could have been a rich man..
It's sugar.
Who would have thought that the third red scare started in IT..
A better keyboard..

Deception is fraud, and last I checked this is not protected by free speech.

This was a solved problem back in the 60's. Problem then and now, is that there are hardly any practical applications for these type of vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The technique -- nicknamed Illusion Gap -- relies on a mixture of both social engineering and the use of a rogue SMB server.
This sounds more like a problem with an inside job from an disgruntled worker then a realistic threat.
