well. you know how the same site can praise some phone for not having any extra stuff and then post something about oneui being a necessity.
and of course not talk about stuff like how samsung actually has firewall functions built into the phone but inaccessible without paying samsung for the api rights.
have you noticed a trend of dependency infiltration? I think it's because people want to have projects depend on their package so they can get a job due to having proven expertise.
My theory is that for this reason a lot of packages in npm for example(and more and more on gradle) depend on other packages and get code submitted to make them depend on _more_ packages not _less_ packages, to the point where package dependencies are inserted just for things that need 3 lines of code to not be dependent on said extra package. and using that package needs 3 lines of code.
and that package has no backwards compatibility contract/mindset by the developer either.
though, on the topic, if the package is popular why do you need to worry so much about what the users want? just ask for donations to add the features they want if they want them in there. so why all the stress about the users? wouldn't it feel less useful if there weren't any users?
like, if they aren't paying you guys why do you need to worry about what they want, since they're using the software anyways. it's not like you have any obligation towards them like you would have if you were actually charging for it. like how is the stress worse than if you were working on commercial software and your manager just sold an impossible feature to make to a customer?
It's just a fucking 20 bucks tax to let you watch xvideos.com, pornhub and a few other high profile xxx sites.
never mind how in the F*** can it even work? you download a 3rd party browser and use a vpn and how it can work? this just makes it a whole lot of more expensive to sell phones in kansas. why wouldn't anyone like this? because it can't work, wont work and will not work, but it makes it prohibited to sell unlocked rootable phones! FFS!
And what does that have to do with being handicapped? They are making an AI, not a fake person. Otherwise they would teach it trashtalking.
it has quite a lot to do with it. did they give the human player a huge screen that shows all of the map at once even? no, they didn't. but they gave their ai just that - direct feed of the game data that the human player had no access to(but it would be possible to alter the human players user interface to show some of that data to even out the playing field - or have the human player have multiple minions to have click per minute speeds to match the ai).
and look, you can make a traditional ai beat human players if you disregard any such click / map awareness rules - that is not impressive in the slightest. with such you can micromanage how many zerglings you want on a map wide coordinated patterns impossible through normal game access.
furthermore if you specifically say that it's handicapped to have human like performance in giving commands, and then your "handicap" is anything but, then of course you'll be called bullshit on. if anything for it to be impressive it would need to be just watching the screen through a camera and moving the mouse around - because that's the impression the people who published it were _trying_ to give to the reader. because that sounds impressive. the real story was anything but impressive.
their program is crap and they thought this would attract more attention.
pretty fucking simple.
kind of hilarious that it would speak of the future as if it was in the past though?
what kind of a hackjob is it anyways? are they hoping to sell it to fake news outlets or what? and the fuck does it matter as you can buy actual people to write you gibberish news articles for pennies - just look at buzzfeed.
if you really want to run the android apps on desktop.. you've been able to do that for a long time. as for using it as an os on a desktop computer - well, sure, once you hack in windowed apps (some devices do this).
it's not gonna be "better" than the windowed ui paradigm we've had for over 20 years though. it just isn't. if it was, I would use it right now.
it's more like going backwards to some dos era computing. it's fine on small touchscreen computers but not really good for productivity. however some people will just use tablets for everything as they're used to it and it's "good enough" for their needs.
windows 8 was such a huge hit yeah? what it tried to do was shoehorn tablet experience to desktop. it's just shit. it doesn't work for getting shit done. it's like using an internet appliance for email grade of bullshittery for doing work.
it's fitness tracking. that's the "application" for them.
Anyhow, apple execs are insane if they think that having lte on the watch matters anything. sure, having a data connection is useful so you can leave your phone at home, but not that it is lte.
also, well. these are nearing the last years where you can sell 800bucks phones. they're running out of things to add to them. you can literally place 150 bucks phones next to 800 dollar phones on a table and if you don't know beforehand you can't say which is the expensive one - even if you're shown people using them for typical tasks.
the sub 100 bucks smartphone market in emerging markets is especially important as for those people that is the only digital connected device they have ever had.
Stats wise, you should buy the stuff. I mean their egregious rights violations are not nearly as bad as during cultural revolution or during their civil war - so clearly buying the stuff is actually _working_ to improve the situation.
Even their attitude towards piracy and rights violations is "better" than it has ever been.
so. there's that. it's actually kind of working.
however, as it is pretty hard to buy something that wouldn't have anything from china the whole question is kind of moot. It's also pretty hard to buy something that doesn't somehow(upline licenses, manufacturing tools,brand licensing, patents or whatever) benefit USA as well.
How would you go on about buying non chinese parts electronics? sure you can buy non chinese assembled stuff.
but it would be actually far easier to start buying non-chinese wrenches than cordless drill that didn't have any chinese parts in it.
I mean. if I were to press play now and all tabs would capture it - how many fucking ads do you think would start to run simultaneously?
if I have focused the tab and the browser is focused, fine, whatever, use the buttons just the same as you use space bar, p etc keys.
but don't fucking tell all the tabs that I just pressed play. it's a bad fucking idea. you would think it's a good idea, but it's not. it's only a good idea if you have spotify on some tab and possibly just some google docs open on other tabs. but that's not the real world.
two inches of asphalt alone is pretty much nothing, it'll get affected by water expansion and other weather effects in some places along the way for sure. which wouldn't be a problem if they had enough shielding on the cable I guess.
that's what they try. if they think that or not is irrelevant, since that's what they try to do and do it by being quicker. neither one of them knows for sure if they'll be profitable after they do that.
look, for a good example look at gamestop. it's not like people have quit buying games, it's just that gamestop flooded the market with stores by opening new stores and buying up other stores to dominate the market - and they do dominate the market, but who the fuck knows if they'll make any money?
the blurb neglects to mention the actual reason for trying to get big money to get BIG growth. these people are ran by people who think that the companys worth is tied to the growth - like, that the company would be valued at it's revenue level even if it made 0 dollars of profit, just because they have high growth numbers. they truly believe that. some investors believe that too, though that number will be getting less and less every year as people realize how stupid of an investment pricing strategy that is.
also partially related to the demise of a bunch of youtube mcn networks. the companies were not worth their revenue because all of that revenue went straight out of the door. It's like paypal valuing themselves being worth the combined amount of transactions made through it. it's stupid, especially when revenue is such an easy number to cook in the books.
they become wages, with all taxes that entails.and paying that sum becomes sales, with sales tax and all.
look, the whole tipping "culture" in usa is just a giant tax dodge, nothing more. that's why restaurants and waiters and all want to keep it. that's why it's then "mandatory" to tip. so it's actually not a tip, it's a strongly suggested mafia charge, not something you just give as a tip for good service but something that you need to pay.
by getting of the middlemen they skip paying sales tax on the money coming in, they skip paying social security, income taxes etc on the money going out.
the service already exists but you can get for free. their employees are doing basically bot work already only.
Look, here's a guide how to get it free without paying them shitloads of money+vat. you don't need these helper companies.
Find the customer support email address. you might need to ask a facebook bot or whatever to get it. just get it. then send them the information about your flight that was late and say that you want compensation. they will say "no we won't pay it was a technical issue" - then you reply that "It doesn't matter, you're still liable to pay for it and if you don't pay me I will either use the family laywer or give it to a company such as airhelp and you will pay anyways" - and then they will ask your bank information, a photo copy of passport used on the flight and then they wil then pay you.
many people are too lazy or frustrated to do this so they give it to airhelp etc. there's dozens of companies like that. but just threatening to give it to them after the company says that they don't want to pay is enough to get them to pay. saves you 100-200 euros and months of time.
I did a request from qatar airways like this. it does not matter if they gave you a hotel room or whatever to stay in during the delay. they still have to pay. if the delay was due to a technical reason they need to pay too.
the problem is amazon is doing a piss poor job in some fields and totally ignored others.
Loads of copyright infringing games stuff on amazon. they don't care.
but try to sell your own brands shirts on amazon and it's a goddamn nightmare due to having to prove that you own the brand etc - and even then they just flat out deny 50% from selling. but you got a 555-in-1 cartridge with marios face on it? okay, just sell it, no problems.
that is, if amazon just had 1 worker to _manually_ go through the website once a day for obviously pirate multisystems, carts, reporoduction cd's(pirate copies) etc, it would take care 99% of the problem. but they can't be fucking arsed to do that.
all they need is a contract with some statewide towtruck/fixup provider. of course elon is jumping the gun a bit here since they don't have yet the maintenance network.
it's still all about getting a cut, but I don't think elon considered that most of the repairs would be warranty repairs anyways, however maybe he thinks he can do this and charge for the towing service to pay for the repairs..
sure it's of value if you need 10 for some reason like compiling applications for it.
oh well at least windows phones dead so nobodys asking to make apps for that.. still. it's better than windows 8. and for the record I had to update to windows 8 because microsoft made(for no technical reason at all, mind you) mandatory to have windows 8 to be able to compile/develop windows phone apps.
even most poor countries don't have data caps in the business model.
also, yanks are totally getting f'd up in the ass by telecoms for like 30th year in a row now.
fact of the matter is, data caps and non-net-neutrality is at the heart of how american telecoms have a plan to keep f'kin the regular american joe up the a for the next 30 years. Ultrasuperhighdefinition tv goes along with that - the whole idea is to sell you streaming that you can only buy through their special supergood deal that costs 4x what it should cost.
also, it has roots at american government being totally toothless at protecting customers from false advertising. how can you call something unlimited if you can max out it in a day? the whole scene is a joke laughed at globally.

so.
well. you know how the same site can praise some phone for not having any extra stuff and then post something about oneui being a necessity.
and of course not talk about stuff like how samsung actually has firewall functions built into the phone but inaccessible without paying samsung for the api rights.
the verge is just pure advertisements don't cha know.
also a copyright striker for criticizing them. so there you have it. you cannot trust them with any tech news.
have you noticed a trend of dependency infiltration? I think it's because people want to have projects depend on their package so they can get a job due to having proven expertise.
My theory is that for this reason a lot of packages in npm for example(and more and more on gradle) depend on other packages and get code submitted to make them depend on _more_ packages not _less_ packages, to the point where package dependencies are inserted just for things that need 3 lines of code to not be dependent on said extra package. and using that package needs 3 lines of code.
and that package has no backwards compatibility contract/mindset by the developer either.
though, on the topic, if the package is popular why do you need to worry so much about what the users want? just ask for donations to add the features they want if they want them in there. so why all the stress about the users? wouldn't it feel less useful if there weren't any users?

FFS!
if you were really bullied, they would just use this system now to get you expelled.
And what does that have to do with being handicapped? They are making an AI, not a fake person. Otherwise they would teach it trashtalking.

well the idea is that they sell is zero configuration mesh networking.
think about it. you'll get what he was babbling about.
I mean. if I were to press play now and all tabs would capture it - how many fucking ads do you think would start to run simultaneously?
if I have focused the tab and the browser is focused, fine, whatever, use the buttons just the same as you use space bar, p etc keys.
but don't fucking tell all the tabs that I just pressed play. it's a bad fucking idea. you would think it's a good idea, but it's not. it's only a good idea if you have spotify on some tab and possibly just some google docs open on other tabs. but that's not the real world.
two inches of asphalt alone is pretty much nothing, it'll get affected by water expansion and other weather effects in some places along the way for sure. which wouldn't be a problem if they had enough shielding on the cable I guess.
well they sure as fuck can't stop people from posting photos from a public place either.
they try to get into being dominant.
that's what they try. if they think that or not is irrelevant, since that's what they try to do and do it by being quicker. neither one of them knows for sure if they'll be profitable after they do that.

ebay can't be arsed to do that either.
seriously the dry thing seems not that well demonstrated yet, or else the price would have been higher and definitely not stock swap.
they would just update it.
all they need is a contract with some statewide towtruck/fixup provider. of course elon is jumping the gun a bit here since they don't have yet the maintenance network.
it's still all about getting a cut, but I don't think elon considered that most of the repairs would be warranty repairs anyways, however maybe he thinks he can do this and charge for the towing service to pay for the repairs..
fyi just mute the whole chrome while in office.
sure it's of value if you need 10 for some reason like compiling applications for it.
oh well at least windows phones dead so nobodys asking to make apps for that.. still. it's better than windows 8. and for the record I had to update to windows 8 because microsoft made(for no technical reason at all, mind you) mandatory to have windows 8 to be able to compile/develop windows phone apps.
the real reason would be to ask why the f would you choose microsofts chromium browser over anything else?
besides, wtf would mozilla "research" if they dropped their own rendering engine? would they research how to keep adblockers running on chromium?
thousand times to same guy or different guys?
it's just solid advice..
even most poor countries don't have data caps in the business model.
also, yanks are totally getting f'd up in the ass by telecoms for like 30th year in a row now.
fact of the matter is, data caps and non-net-neutrality is at the heart of how american telecoms have a plan to keep f'kin the regular american joe up the a for the next 30 years.
