In 20 years people will just make a downpayment on a loan for a self driving car and then that car will drive for Uber to make money for the master, whose job will consist of keeping it in good running order. Bored? Just design some fashions, print out a batch on 3D printers in the basement and trade with neighbors. After all, robots don't care that they are exploited.... or so will keep telling outselves.
So long as company takes its stuff back for recycling, internal design of a product is between them and their customers. The later may well insist that the product is modular, repairable and upgradable and make purchases accordingly. On the other hand, system on a chip designs held together with a lot of glue could well be cheaper, lighter and more durable mechanically. I wouldn't put a right to repair on the same footing as inallienable rights and would instead consider it a desirable product feature that can be achieved through market forces.
Then again, in my opinion there has been no reason to buy anything from Apple. You can get a phone or a laptop for 1/3rd of the price elsewhere and "repair" it by upgrading to a much better one when it breaks after a few years.
If you have only one datacenter, you should be using cloud services. Networks fail a lot two and your latency would be really bad for customers on other continents. Even a second A/C unit is a fixed expense that deprecates slowly compared to constant utility charges.
Datacenters have air conditioners to keep their servers from frying. But hardware costs are falling while energy costs rise. So these days some datacenters are running at 90F because it's cheaper to replace anything that fries than pay higher power bill.
But your home fridge is not going to cut it because it's not rated for food that continuously generates heat. If you want, you can mount a desktop enclosure onto a window A/C unit.
Every new product has been using ARM, which offers convinient licensing not only of ABI but actual silicon designs. They still have server market, but ARM will pop up there too as soon as they are dumb enough to jack up prices. New performance war is anyway in GPUs and now TPUs. Don't care, LOL, bye!
The ideal is an operating system that runs every app ever created for any notable platform. For security reasons, the opposite should be default, with only the most recent runtime installed and running. But convenient one step process should be provided to install other runtimes. There is a galore of open source emulation/virtualization solutions and sandboxing to mitigate security risks, so maintenance overhead is insignificant for the likes of Apple and Microsoft. Why would anyone not want an option to run apps they paid for?
Men commit far more crimes then women. If the premise of basing sentencing on probability of future crimes is accepted, gender (and race etc) disparity makes perfect sesnse. Even if the algorithm is not given gender and race inputs, its likely to reach same conclusions by considering other factors such as growing up in poverty.
So there are around 100K schools in US.. Schools spend about $12K/student/year, retrofit of each locker room should be doable for a simular one time fee. I would rate this as quite doable if public sensibilities have changed and this brings everyone comfort and greater focus on studies rather than students getting into fights after criticizing each others anatomic development.
No forced exposure != no exposure. Nudists should be allowed and encouraged to use private spaces to provide healthy exposure to a variety of human bodies.
It first helps to gain a basic knowlege of the subject area. If you care about global warming, read a scientific study. If you care about politics, become familiar with liberal, conservative and libertatian schools of thought. For the later, I would recommend Cato institute home study course. Then, if you see something that contradicts established body of knowledge, you will be in the best position to research further. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Other than that, pay news sources independent of ad revenue are good to add to the mix. There is nothing wrong with New York Times. The best subscription deal I could find was on Google Play Newstand, but your milage may vary.
Forced group disrobement is obsolete because nobody can agree on what the groups should be. I have visited and participated in nude beaches, but group showers for men in a local community center frankly feel weird. Why should anyone watch me washing my junk? And for anyone with kids the preferable solution is to give them privacy from others of any gender.
These laws are against our values of free expression, offensive as such expression can be to some. American companies shouldn't cooperate unless they have to.
Not sure about 70s panels, but ones that I have now supply my entire annual power use, including refrigirator, A/C and stove - that for half of a price of a new car. Granted this is net average, but daytime supply powers businesses and homes without solar that would otherwise use fossil fuel. And, if you use lighting at the same time you are generating solar power, you are doing it wrong.
If it wants or needs to use a certain amount of memory, there is little a browser can do to help. It's like saying you want to use iOS or Android or Windows or OSX to "use less memory in Photoshop". For the most part, you need to choose websites that work well for you.
Scholarships for vocational programs is one of the most useful and biggest payoff services that a government can provide. And coding schools can be extremely inexpensive as they can be largely automated and teachers outsourced to countries with reasonable labor costs. We can in fact argue if we need scholarships as such or make classes so inexpensive that a scholarship is not usually needed.
And with the smallest app store in the industry on top? Many Chromebooks have a far greater selection of Android apps, plus you can sideload more and install competing Amazon appstore.
With 20+ years of testing, all the bugs are ironed out and I am confident military is able to to act in a crisis. I don't want America to lose a battle because all of the soldier's rifles are installing Windows 10 updates at inconvinient time.
Or rather do, but don't force me to buy a powered screw remover that needs charging after 20 minutes of use and can only be controlled via bluetooth from an iPhone. Old versions of software should be at least sold it is indefinitely, or placed in public domain if the maker no longer sees a profit from a particular version when the new one is available. It would not be crazy to provide security patches and basic usability updates so long as that is economically viable.
What is actually happening today is worse. A lot of times it is not possible to reinstall or even use an existing install of a software version you paid for, when the new version has removed functionality that was your reason for buying the product.
Constant volatility has in turn devalued software. If I am sure that a particular application will consistently serve my regular needs for 10 years like a screwdriver does, an $1000 investment does not seem crazy. But if your company could go out of business tomorrow and I will be left out in the cold, how can I justify spending anything at all?
I sometimes spend 2-3 hours playing games with hands constantly moving in the air. Don't understand what's up with Apple's claims that an occasional swipe on the screen will immediatelly make people collapse with exhaustion. Trackpad will still be there, even make it a second screen if you want to be fancy.
I understand the objection when technology was poor quality or for budget devices. But now Apple is just being obnoxious.
3D and 4K content was a chance to entice people to watch something new instead of reruns. But not for $60 for a single movie that takes no special advantage of new media. As for movie theaters, people are trying to be health and budget concious. $100 for an hour and a half of entertrainment and junk food is too much for a family of four.
So people moved on to other options. If you want to be a writer today, think VR interactive fiction. Or have another wave of innovation pass you buy while you fight for scraps. Accidentally, movie theaters could find success as arcades as gear is still expensive/difficult to set up at home.
And for god sake, embrace adult content! That's how the world works if you want to be on the leading edge. Some of the best stories were published by Playboy.

How do you think kids learn programming these days.

Why another platform with less productivity apps though?
And with the smallest app store in the industry on top? Many Chromebooks have a far greater selection of Android apps, plus you can sideload more and install competing Amazon appstore.
Chris Christie and Glen Beck approve this message!

In Soviet Union calculators program YOU!
I started on a . Capabilities were obviously limited, but magazines published programs for a wide rage of games, practical problems and science. Both professional scientists and ordinary people learned programming and sometimes left a calculator number crunching for days to find out something they considered interesting.
I wonder where we would be if we displayed same passion for learning and innovation with today's technology.
I sometimes spend 2-3 hours playing games with hands constantly moving in the air.
