You have a point, but not a particularly good one. I suspect that most people would interpret what AC said the same way that I did. For the people who read it as I did, I felt that it would be useful to know that the iPhone 6 does run iOS 12.1.1 just fine.
But there is enough room for ambiguity that maybe I should have just thought him to be full of it, rather than explicitly stating it.
Mod this one up! The pharmaceutical industry don't need this kind of accuracy. Why do we always go to the pharmaceutical industry to try to justify everything? Every Nobel prize is awarded to someone for something that could one day be useful for making better pharmaceuticals. I was kind of hoping the old weights and measures guys wouldn't fall into the same trap.
Officer: Sir, you were going 100 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Me: Officer, I was trying something that one day might help us develop better pharmaceuticals.
officer: Oh, in that case you can go. Drive safely
I got a gmail account in 2004, before they even came out due to my use of blogspot. I got a first initial last name @gmail.com. My last name isn't Smith but it's not uncommon. I get about 2 or 3 a day. I've gotten deeds, wedding plans, contracts, lots of photos, party invitations and a threat from a christian light store in Texas to whip my ass if I didn't quit talking to his sweet lady. I just erase most of them. If it looks like somebody is gonna miss out on something important, I've got a canned response.
It's a bit of a pain but it's also entertaining sometimes, so I leave it as it is.
I'm not a full time coder, ao maybe I'm not really familiar with this. Is Agile some kind of religion for coders? Sounds like it with the false prophets and true believers and all that other stuff.
For me, this is about GoDaddy calling up every 6 months and trying to get me to double my hosting budget by buying some kind of goofy certificate. "If you don't buy the $120 dollar certificate from us, Google will tell everybody you're a bad person".
"It takes more energy to produce hydrogen than the hydrogen itself provides when used."
Yes, that's correct. That would a variant of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If you find a substance for which that isn't true, you can build a perpetual motion machine and have so stuff left over for camping trips.
That's good to hear. Maybe the new maps will have all of I-140 around Wilmington, NC. It opened last year before Thanksgiving and still isn't showing up on the map. You can see the damn road in the satellite view. I even sent them an email asking them to add it about 2 months ago.
As an aside, I've noticed that few kids these days, with their iPhones and maps (probably from Google), know where they are. But they all know where they're going.
How am I getting a zero and this guy is getting a five. You can't dissolve the CO2 into water without adding a bunch of rock to it. A lot of rock. It's probably more efficient just spreading the rock out on the ground and letting it suck the CO2 out of the air. You guys are coders and don't know crap about chemistry. Balance those equations.
There's no problem finding tech talent in any field. The problem is in finding talent that will work for not so much and won't cost much in insurance costs.
Maybe if we nationalize health insurance, with industry footing some of the bill, we could start utilizing some of the older tech talent (like me, who can run circles around these young whippersnappers) without fear of going bankrupt when they get cancer.
It's called a barrier for a reason. It's hard to get a lot of little molecules past the blood-brain barrier and, although they're called "nano", these nanoparticles are huge by comparison.
There's probably something here, it's just that the press release is a little over the top.
Scientist develop car to drive on Mars. Now they just have to figure out how to get it there.
Google just finally killed their old Finance page. The new one is a complete POS. Let's hope the guys in charge of that 'improvement" don't get anywhere near Gmail.
I think the attractive aspect of Moore's law was that it was simple and everyone got the general gist. Some people like to argue about the details but they mostly don't have anything else to do with their time.
I don't think we need a Huang's law. If you asks what Huang's Law is, everyone will just say it's like Moore's law except applied to GPU's.
Same applies to all those other people who want to name things after themselves.
So what I'm hearing is that the government should issue design parameters for products. That's stupid. People know what they're getting into when they buy a phone. The Government should have requirements around a lot of things like safety and radio interference, but I think they should stay out of areas like how you repair a device. This is a stupid law for stupid people.
Agreed. This article is about someone grabbing a bunch of current topics (3D printing, high drug prices, etc.) and shoving them together in an article to get some press. Anybody (?) can make drugs now at home. All they need is a little knowledge, some equipment and some reagents and starting materials. This guy has used 3D printing to make some crappy versions of equipment and he happens to have the other things on hand. If you could easily build little machines for on-site drug synthesis, you wouldn't make them using a 3D printer. You'd probably have some glass components.
This is like using an Arduino to control the temperature of a petri dish and claiming you're using AI to create life.
I'm betting this guy is British. They're so much better at imagining the obvious and getting credit for brilliance.

I have an iPhone 6 and I updated the software to iOS 12.1.1 last night. So you're basically full of it.

I thought Japan left Detroit in the dust about 25 years ago.

THAT's the thing I looking to see.

It's pretty simple. You don't read reviews for free stuff. What's the point?
They were building Eniac when I was a kid. I asked Dad if we could get one and he told me to go play in the dirt.
For me, this is about GoDaddy calling up every 6 months and trying to get me to double my hosting budget by buying some kind of goofy certificate. "If you don't buy the $120 dollar certificate from us, Google will tell everybody you're a bad person".
Screw'em!

The gist that atmospheric CO2 goes into the ocean as bicarbonate and won't acidify the water is not correct.

Just a thought.
Really? Is there no Apple news that can't be twisted into an "Apple is dying" story?
