Wow. They wanted favorable policies, and said they might set up shop elsewhere if they didn't get favorable government policies. In the end, "Facebook appears to have won some concessions."
Isn't that the way it should be? Do the end users need to know how the sausage is made? Most people aren't involved in the computer industry and just want to get a job done, and computers assist in getting the job done. Any time spent mucking about with the OS is time wasted, and a good OS design would be for the user to not have to interact with the OS at all.
It's not a matter of control and government conspiracies or whatever that last sentence was about. It's about users being willing to give up customization they don't care about to have a more efficient experience. Personally I can't wait until ubiquitous Amazon Echo-type devices make even cell phone screens a bit unnecessary.
Well, conversely, why would you want a large bezel? I want a large screen, I want a small phome. Logically, having a small bezel/no bezel is the way to do it, as long as there's no other tradeoffs.
Just get a laptop, and if you feel like using a travel keyboard along with it (for some reason), bring that along and plug that in to the USB slot. Just the idea of bringing a portable computer in a bag full of parts is weird. Not like hacker-weird, just like you needlessly fetishize your equipment.
There are no i5/i7 compute sticks that run off battery power.
People complain about this a lot, but as a dork who grew tomatoes at home and looked up tomato forums, it's generally acknowledged that tomatoes don't really ripen on the vine. Once they start changing color at all, or even slightly before, you can pull them and put them in a paper bag. They will taste exactly the same upon getting ripe. In some areas of the country this is very common because of pests (squirrels, etc.) that eat half-ripened tomatoes left on the vine.
It's not quite like that...they insisted on removing her from a treatment that was working, to a treatment that hadn't worked and was actually hurting their child.
Sometimes parents and doctors (or even an AI) are going to give a different diagnosis, and it will always be an ethical quandary what to do. However, just as I don't believe parents have the right for their child to skip vaccinations or rely on faith healers, I think this had progressed into a point where the parents clearly were not acting in the best interest of their child, and the hospital did the right thing.
The Rootkit scandal wasn't even Sony. It was BMG, a company that was later acquired by Sony. There were no Sony executives involved. There were no meetings in Sony headquarters about including a rootkit. Furthermore, there were no computer viruses that used the rootkit as an attack vector, as like nobody listened to CDs in their CD-ROM drive. Plus, this all happened like 15 years ago. I think it's time to let it go.
To a lesser extent, it will also go up against Apple's high-end, but shrinking, Mac computer business. In terms of sales numbers, profits, and percentage of computer sales as a whole, it's getting larger.
I live in the US and have a car with ridiculously good gas mileage, where I drive 60 miles every day. When I lived in another country, NOBODY did that (and personally, I walked about 10 minutes to work). In the US, that sort of commute is very common. Having a car that is 25% more efficient in a country with long-ass commutes and an addiction to freeways is a false economy.
Solar power is cool for the future. So far, it isn't a significant factor. Not running your AC is more environmentally friendly than having energy efficient electricity, and yes maybe the US shouldn't be building so many homes in the desert in the first place.
Organic local produce is bad for the environment. Transportation is so cheap and efficient, the amount of fuel to ship food on a ship or train is trivial. Environmentally, it makes more sense to grow in places which can grow efficiently and then ship the food, than to grow tomatoes in Minnesota.
Why? If electrical cars are cheaper to purchase and operate, wouldn't poor people be more likely to buy a new electrical car than a new gas car? He's not saying that all gas cars will go away, just that electric cars will be so much cheaper and better that the large majority of people will want to buy electric cars.
And wouldn't you? Electric cars drive fine. If an equivalent electric car became $5K cheaper than the gas version, I think just about everybody would opt to save the $5K.
The lawsuit is over software he developed at Zenimax for Zenimax, not some interesting ideas he had in his head. It's a much more solid case than the Waymo executive who took the data to Uber.
Study after study shows that over-weight people believe they eat far less calories than they actually do.
But even if it's true that you have a miracle metabolism, obviously at some point if you just eat a piece of bread a day you will look like a concentration camp victim. Try to find a happy medium between what you eat now (you look ridiculously fat) and eating so little that you look like a concentration camp victim. Maybe just take your current diet and halve it. If you care enough to "diet" for five years, why not go a step further and do something that will be actually effective?
Willful misintrepretation? They had a worse year than they did two years ago. Profits went up for the first time in twenty years, but they're less than half what they were twenty years ago, even before counting inflation.
Obviously they're profitable on some level, or the musicians wouldn't be signing the contracts. At the very least, record companies are able to promote artists. 99% of musicians are not great artists, they just have a studio behind them giving them support.
Gamers are already spending an average of $1300 for their game computers. It's totally believable, to me, that a number of them would be willing to drop an extra $600 to play VR games.
Actually, it runs off of an Intel processor (an Intel Atom x5-Z8350).
And 7" Fire tablets are pretty cut-rate. This is surely built to a higher quality. For the most obvious thing, the speakers are obviously going to be much better.

Sorry grandpa, but I don't think "ability to link with a samba drive of bootlegged MP3s" is a hot feature that companies are dying to pick up.
You your self write about a need to "grow and adapt." Maybe it's time for you to ditch your Napster drive and move on to 21st century technology.

Holy shit, mind blown!

Right, and a serial port and PS/2 connection and 5.25" floppy drive.
Right, the problem is large cities with poor ventilation where the NOx is in very high concentration.

Wow, cool! A 3G phone with a .85 megapixel screen and the world's shittiest camera! Thanks for the advice, grandpa!
Now that the Pope has lured them in, he should put them all on trial for heresy.
Yeah, the shit they do with rats in cages is what really stops me from using Facebook too much.
Well to be fair, England leaving the EU does indeed make English less important in the EU.
Right, just like Hollywood closed and now all movies are made in Vancouver.
Tax breaks are a temporary thing done to attract business. Once that business is attracted, tax breaks are yanked away.
I've been 350 pounds for last 10+ years. My nickname in school was "Titanic" not "Elephant Man".
School bullying is looked down upon. Even professional football players who are very tall and very muscular are fucking fat at 350 lbs.
