People buy illegal drugs - of unknown potency/adulteration - because they can't buy the drugs they want legally.
Legal drugs are quality controlled and known potency. If you care about your kids' survival, support drug legalization.
Sure, there will be addicts. Just as there are alcoholics. But prohibition of alcohol made things worse, not better.
Same here.
Yes, but that happened because MSFT already owned the desktop long before Windows existed. When the IBM PC was introduced in 1981, it was offered with 3 OSes: UCSD Pascal, CP/M 86, and "PC-DOS" (later known as MS-DOS). Of the 3, DOS was by far the cheapest, so dominated sales. And of course software developer targeted the OS that users had. The rest is...history.
Yes. Price matters. Microsoft, of all companies, should know that.
They won the desktop because DOS, and then Windows, were the cheapest solutions at the time.
Keep in mind that Netflix needs contracts with Hollywood studios to get the rights to movies.
Undoubtedly they've been pressured into this by Hollywood. I suspect NF knows this is stupid, but what can they do?
Each side does its best to persuade voters, then the voters decide.
That's how democracy is *supposed* to work, so stop freaking out about it.
If you don't like it, then you don't like democracy. Which is fine, but at least have the honesty to admit it.
Neat, but I think I can beat it. I programmed PDP-8s from the front panel switches. In octal.
A little while later, I wrote 8k BASIC programs with DATA statements containing a list of integers. The integers were Z-80 opcodes to be POKEed into memory...
I've no objection to cheated sandwich buyers being able to sue for damages. Even in class actions.
But I don't think we need proactive sandwich police checking out sandwiches in advance.
Geez. It's a sandwich, not a nuclear reactor.
If you like the way it tastes, great. If you don't, don't buy another one.
I think we can let the sandwich eaters of Canada handle this on their own.
I don't see how there were "hundreds of jobs lost".
Google had to hire "cooks and restaurant workers to food delivery and cleaning services" to do this, didn't they?
Don't confusing the effects of *changing clocks* with the effects of Daylight Saving Time.
Changing clocks is crazy disruptive.
DST (shifting daylight later in the day, so there's daylight when you get home from work) is, IMHO, a great idea. We should just be on it all year round.
Nerds, who tend not to be morning people, should appreciate DST more than most.
FWIW, the 3 layers are not red/green/blue, but photosensor, DRAM, and logic.
It's a standard Bayer pattern sensor; not a multilayer color sensor.
And by "focal plane distortion" they don't mean focus error due to different depths for RGB, but rolling shutter ("jello effect").
(The post was a bit confusing - it's easy to read it as being about a Foveon-type sensor. But no.)

Let her tend the petunias, then.
Where have you been since 9/11? That happened 15 years ago.

In my high school physics class, everyone was required to bring their own slide rule. I still have it. Can't say it inspired any loyalty, tho.

That's precisely why he says 2 to 3 years, not 5 or more. Everyone knows "5 years to commercial" means it will probably never happen. Including him.

Lots of ACs are simply too lazy to setup an account. That doesn't affect their bullshitting probability.

No, he didn't say reliability was unimportant. He said this is extremely unlikely to affect reliability.
I won't miss them.
Doesn't Google already do exactly that? Oh, wait. Yes, it does. But the DoD would have to let Google index their archive...
