That's a good question. I wonder about it because I have an Airbnb rental. Until August, I had to calculate and remit the sales and motel tax to the state. Okay, did that. But starting August, Airbnb stated that they were collecting the tax. Okay, fine. I called the state tax office, and they said I did not have to send in taxes August forward. But what about the guests who paid in full before August for stays after? Did they get another bill for the tax? Or did they just get forgotten? Dunno.
SanDisk claims it can be used for recording video, not just storing it.
Don't feel bad, I read it wrong, too. Let's make it simple. The first part is "SanDisk claims it can be used for recording video." As AC above noted, the second part is easy to get wrong. I also read it at first as "just not storing it". The correct reading is "not only storing it." A good replacement might go like, "The device can store video, of course, but can also keep up with record speeds."
Figure out a decent way to have Alexa keep track of all those things you can't find when you want them. "Alexa, I am putting my... in the closet, third shelf."
Um if you only look at synthetic benchmarks yes it does win but sadly rest of the results are don't put it so amd chip's way.
Could you revise your post so that we know what "it" refers to with regards to winning? And could you revise your sentence "sadly rest of the results are don't put it so amd chip's way." so that it uses grammar and makes sense? I would like to understand your point.
No. When I upgrade, I get a new motherboard and CPU. And often, new memory for the MB. I have built systems for maybe 25 years, and I don't remember doing a simple CPU upgrade. But I did swap out a Cyrix CPU because it kept crashing Win95.
When I buy gasoline for my car, I pay a tax which is used for the construction and upkeep of roads. I also pay a fee when I register my vehicle each year which goes to the same purpose.
Congratulations! Your government is actually allocating funds properly. But that is really unusual. The rest of us pay these fees, which go into the general fund, where the politicians use the money for whatever the hell they want. Your observation may be useful information for your area, but it is not relevant for the rest of us.
One of the pieces of information that the Trump administration is demanding from the states is how voters voted.
This can be read two ways. We already know the official aggregate tallies. It seems (am I correct?) that they are thinking that the party affiliations are indicative of voting results. If so, that assumption is ridiculous and stupid. I am registered with the Republican party, but I voted for another as a protest vote. Actually, this describes every election since Bush 1. He broke his oath. I wish there was actually a hell for him to burn in.
When I got my latest voter registration card, the county agent seemed to be pretty careful about checking my residency info, but I don't think she got my SSN. Of course, the state has my SSN and other info, and they _could_ put it together and publish it if they wanted. I don't think they would, but... so what?! My SSN is just a number. And as I will answer below, my party "affiliation" is fodder for the genuinely stupid. I did NOT vote for "my" party candidate.
I have several checking accounts, and I got tired of paying the check printing companies for... printing my checks. So I bought check stock cheap and I print my own. Apparently, the world has gone from magnetic ink to OCR, so I am home free. If I can print my own checks, so can anyone else print anything they want. I could easily print checks from any other business once I have their account number.
What reduces check fraud is enforcement. Or so I think.
Back in the day, I used to hate PNP transistors. Everything was backwards and counter-intuitive, even the power supply was negative. A classic example of user-unfriendly design.
And often, the only way to get it to work was to add an NPN transistor.
On the firmware side of things, I wish he had made the Ethernet Mac address 64 bits instead of 48.
Your opinion interests me. Could you go further? If I remember right, the numbering registry assigns a block of 24 bits (16M each) and very large manufacturers just buy more blocks as needed. I am sure that a lot of startups will buy a block and only sell a fraction (I was involved with one), but that does leave 16M blocks to sell. Wow, that's a lot. And I think it is likely that some rogue vendors steal blocks, just thinking the odds are miniscule that any customer will see an ARP conflict.
Maybe you are looking at the cost of a modern processor loading, masking, and doing small-endian conversion based on 48 bits versus 64 bits? Yes, there are a few more machine instructions there, but... Didn't we stop worrying about the cost per packet (well, frame) some years ago? The modern CPU is so capable, it could maybe do ATM AAL5 in software and we would not notice the overhead.
I think this idea would make sense for charging stations on the Interstate highways. Buy lots of cheap land and put in a charging station every so many miles. It makes distance travel easier for the electric car owners and the lack of power lines to the stations is NOT a problem.
Why "Mexican Student"? As a SJW I find that offensive.
Well, maybe a student from Mexico is not identical to a "Mexican Student". Leave it to the editor to let that distinction pass by. But why is the national or racial tag "offensive"? What if an Albanian discovered a new and interesting physical property? Or if a Bantu showed us a better way of healing warts? I think that anyone who advances knowledge deserves recognition. And I think that incidental information is okay, too.
Venture capitalists are greedy parasites. They are arrogant, yet stupid as a bag of rocks. However they got their money, I am pleased to hear whenever they lose their "investment" in a craptastic venture. Yes, I have had an encounter with one of those morons.
No. The legislature so often passes questionable bills, saying that the courts will judge their intent. The courts often say that the bills should have been more specific. I say that a court should look for JUSTICE and not the letter of the law. If a law is just 90% of the time, then a case should be dismissed 10% of the time. Because it is not just in that case. Strict interpretation is wrong.
Since you are reading this topic, you might enjoy the movies "The 13th Floor" and "Dark City". Less on this topic, but still good, I would recommend "Source Code" and "Moon".
Three hours won't do much for coding skills. Reading style(9) is a good idea. And so would be a few minutes on naming.
With the extreme constraints of the topic, I think a good topic would be proving code is correct. Talk about logical proof, and how it can often be very hard, and how to write software to verify that the code does not fail with normal input. And then, how to verify correct behavior against abnormal input. If coders would write software to attack their own code, I think they will benefit greatly.
I am still using kmail. It works fine, for the most part. I can GPG encrypt and decrypt emails, but it fails if I try to GPG sign an email. Before kmail, I used pine, and it was pretty easy to drag my pine emails into a kmail archive folder.
They are still supporting ATM? I am really curious because I actually wrote ATM code. Fifteen years ago. Both device drivers and stack code. Great stuff, but that is ancient history. Can anyone tell what ATM has done in the last decade? Thanks!

I am not "new" by an means. But to feed your story, the answers are "hunt" and 6443. Have fun with that.

...binaries should never be placed under a textual revision-control system.
Why not? It's not like people will check out the image, modify it with Photoshop, and check it back in. Right? Uh, oh.
Dear lord! What have they done?!
