I remember looking at various screenshots and videos of the windows phone UI. It had bunches of flat-shaded boxes with random information and interactive elements. It was almost impossible to figure out what was interactive and what was passive information. Also very simple arrangements had boxes halfway scrolled off the screen requiring finger-fidgeting for no good reason. It just looked sloppy and mostly painful to use.
The tragedy is forcing this UI design failure into the desktop OS as well. It didn't even work well on the phone!
BeagleBone is superior, and with better options, and a far better, technology-first web site. I honestly can't stand the white space and marketing trash pile of the Rasp Pi landing site.
I'd settle for an algorithm that accurately addressed the health and prosperity of the nation beyond a financial quarter. Easier than empathy, and probably vastly more useful.
What if high volumes were not required to produce useful things efficiently anymore? Additive manufacturing, AI designing components, robots building-to-order.
So what if there are 10 billion peasants? They aren't needed. The factories for the wealthy can continue to operate. The people simply are not needed.
The second world war was not caused by a technological revolution. It was because one nation would not bend the knee to global investment bankers and their currency manipulation.
Anyone who is not immediately repelled and horrified by this concept is not, and has never been free.
If a free person is not breaking any law then they are free to complete any transaction they would like without providing documentation or proof to a third party, including the government. Any excuse presented to curtail your freedom is just that, a transparent excuse to put you in chains. War on terror, drugs, think of the children, etc. Part of the cost of living in a free society is understanding everyone's freedoms come at a cost. But it is worth the price.
This is just another example of SJWs infiltrating and co-opting a functioning and useful group of people, driving in artificial wedges, disrupting and diluting focus, and ultimately destroying the group from within. They are inherently anti-science parasites. Openly mock them where ever you find them.
Yes. Everyone in the United States willingly accepts an amount of risk so that all of us may remain free. This is reasonable, moral, and correct. Those not willing to live free can GTFO.
"[...] will be outmaneuvered by smaller startups able to deploy new technology much faster."
Goldman Sachs appointees to the whitehouse for the last few administrations, and you think small startups will ever be allowed to breath air and take their first baby-steps without being instantly crushed? Regulatory Capture.
"...life-saving work every day for women, children, and families experiencing homelessness..."
Well, at least men got included as long as they support a family. Wouldn't want all of those useless, disposable freeloading homeless men taking up a shelter slot.
The top "earners" don't actually go to work. They sit on their ass and post irrational screeds about the "lazy poor". They sip cocktails and golf. Their "earnings" come 100% from controlling the capital of the 100 person society or through parasitically siphoning off cash at every transaction event. They own the equipment or the accounting infrastructure therefore all profits are theirs.
The new twist is that this machinery and accounting systems are soon going to be fully automated. The capitalists and bankers no longer require workers.
Professional journalists producing fact-checked, multi-sourced articles with a neutral tone and striving for accuracy... I thought this was just called journalism? Why do they need amateur community contributors that are guaranteed to be infiltrated and rotten to the core with activists and paid shills?
What are the consequences for designing an unusable, obtuse user interface? What are the consequences to the user who cannot use such an interface? Are there any "web 2.0" or phone interfaces that are used for real, consequential work?
If a San Francisco SJW cannot post a self-indulgent, anti-Trump screed on Tumblr 2.0 is the world really any worse off?
The consoles aren't using AMD video card drivers. The performance bottleneck for massive amounts of draw calls per frame is in the drivers, not the hardware.
It's probably fine on the consoles because they do not have the Windows overhead. The truth is painful.
No it's not. It's a 60fps arcade-style game with a deep block + counter-attack + positioning combat system that requires very specific and tight timing. Yes it has easy-modes for the casual gamers but Bayonetta is most certainly not a casual game. Some enemies cannot even be beaten on normal or above difficulty with using witch-time effectively. Calling it more casual than pikmin and automated is baseless hyperbole. Back that up son if you want to be taken seriously.

Systemd and Gnome3. Oh boy!
No thanks man. I think I'll stick with OpenBSD on servers/routers/firewalls and Windows 7 for real desktop work.

disgusting.
CNN is confirmed fake news. I don't know why articles like this surprise you.

Pay them to fight to the death in open pits for the wealthy.
They can also clean houses, be the butt of jokes, and just generally act as disposable servants and entertainers.

You are missing exactly half of the story.
The top "earners" don't actually go to work. They sit on their ass and post irrational screeds about the "lazy poor". They sip cocktails and golf. Their "earnings" come 100% from controlling the capital of the 100 person society or through parasitically siphoning off cash at every transaction event.

What happens now?
Professional journalists producing fact-checked, multi-sourced articles with a neutral tone and striving for accuracy ... I thought this was just called journalism?

Sam Hyde had a great TEDx talk, "2070 Paradigm Shift". Really empowering and thought provoking stuff.

Dear Java, please die. You don't bring anything useful to the table.
Google Chrome and their Native Client system seems like it would give you what you want.
No. Not without substantial work on the graphics and sound subsystems. Who knows though, maybe Valve can get the ball rolling and make that happen.
No it's not. It's a 60fps arcade-style game with a deep block + counter-attack + positioning combat system that requires very specific and tight timing.

Better check existing patents & applications first. I believe IBM has much of this area already locked up.
