Obviously there's no single right answer, but unless you have a good, specific reason to think Solution A will not be "fast enough" then choosing Solution B for better performance at the expense of slower development is probably a bad idea. With processors as fast as they are today, even on a phone "not very fast" is very often still plenty fast. I do Android development in Java, so I'm using a language / VM with a reputation for being slow on a platform with a processor that is at best not optimized for high performance, and I don't recall ever encountering anything the user had to noticeably wait for other than making network calls to some other system. For a different situation performance could be a much more significant concern and maybe it's worth it.
If there is no standard, then any time there is any kind of potentially toxic accident, you would evacuate everyone in the area "just to be safe". If there is a standard of some kind, then yes it's possible someone will die early due to exposure, no matter what the standard is. Asking the government to keep everyone safe all the time no matter what is not practical and a bad idea.
They believe the earth is continuously accelerating, which would be indistinguishable from gravity and present exactly the same problems landing on the moon disc.
The US of A is going to have to make some serious improvements in broadband before this can even become something more than wishful thinking.
Unless you're thinking of replacing an intranet system, it makes no difference. Whatever the data is will be sent over the internet, whether the server is in your own data center or Amazon's.
1: This seventh generation of computing will, within 3-5 years, absorb the vast majority of the approximately $1 trillion we spend in the USA each year on IT.
2: If I am correct, your PC three years from now won’t be a PC at all but a PC-shaped chunk of cloud accessed through many types of devices.
1 doesn't seem that controversial, but also is not just about "personal computing". Most of that spending replaces servers, not PCs. 2 strikes me as quite vague. What does he mean by "PC-shaped chunk of cloud"? Does he mean a PC that doesn't do much other than access cloud services? If so, then that isn't cloud computing replacing personal computing, it's enabling and supporting it, because there is still a PC that is a critical part of the use case. If he means something else, then what?
Yes, I have a family of four on an Xfinity plan capped at 1 TB per month, and we often hit 80% of that and have gone over it twice. I don't know how a 180 GB cap is supposed to work for a home internet plan, unless it's targeted at people who don't stream video.
Anybody claiming rescinding an executive order by executive order is unconstitutional probably doesn't know what they're talking about. My point is bringing up the misdeeds of someone who is no longer in office in response to someone criticizing the current president looks like an attempt to deflect attention. It's a questionable tactic regardless of the political alignment of the person doing it. If Trump's actions are defensible, then defend them. If they're not, then mentioning Obama doesn't make them so, no matter what it is Obama did.
Smoke detectors don't do any good if there's nobody home to hear them. Unless maybe your smoke detectors automatically call 911 like they do in office buildings, but that seems unlikely.
Wikipedia says "To an extent, copyright law in some countries permits downloading copyright-protected content for personal, noncommercial use. Examples include Canada and European Union (EU) member states like Poland, and The Netherlands." I think if the US were one, it would have been listed.
If I'm correct about which comment you're replying to, I think you've misread it. He didn't say there is no workplace bullying, he said that rudeness is not bullying.
I have seen managers give me 80 hours a week of work at me and laugh because they think it's funny and mention I know you are not good standing with your boss. Do this or I will call him etc. The work didn't even need to be done. This was very bad as it was constant and was done to %%%% with me.
And you wouldn't consider that a hostile work environment?
That's an example of a story that benefits from an image. This is about stories where the image adds nothing (or very little). For example, the story about Sony linked in the summary:
How many stories about the stock market feature a photo of the bull statue? What information or context does that supply to the reader? I would say none.
The easiest way that springs to mind is to NOT make the accessibility features of the OS available unless the user specifically asks for them.
That's already how it is. You have to go into settings and flip a switch, which then prompts a scary warning about how the app can pwn your device, which you then have to agree to. Only after all that will the app have these features available. Apparently that is not safe enough?
I don't WANT a random app to be able to skirt around not having root access by claiming to need permissions for "Accessibiliy".
If my experience with LastPass is indicative, you really have to go out of your way to grant an app this kind of access, the app can't make it happen on its own.
And if there isn't a woraround I may cancel my LastPass subscription, because most of what makes the mobile app useful is its ability to fill in usernames and passwords in other apps.
Now that I see what your misunderstanding is, your bad listener jab is pretty amusing. Maybe it will be more clear if I put it this way: nobody refers to Android as "Android/Linux". Some people refer to Linux as "GNU/Linux" but not many. As far as I know nobody calls Android "Android/Linux". Get it now?
I hope I never have the misfortune to encounter an application you had anything to do with.
Me too. And I hope you're a better person in real life than you are on the internet.

According to Comcast we were not generally over the cap before they instituted it. I think that's just how much data we use.
Legally I doubt streaming is different from downloading. Do you have any references indicating it is?
Get the updates yourself?

How can watching a stream be illegal for the consumer?
This lawyer has tips on legal defenses when being sued for downloading something, and "downloading isn't illegal" is not one of them:

My son's previous school claimed sarcasm was bullying.
I can't remember when Android started doing the security patch version (Marshmallow?)
If you mean the permission overhaul, yes that was in Marshmallow.

"previously obscured" clues about how super-hot molten lava behaves
Lava is on the surface, so I think this is about magma. Also all lava is hot and molten.
"A new view is that magma is stored for a long period in a state that is locked, cool, crystalline
Wouldn't that be referred to as "rock" and not "magma"?

I realized even if they pull the app from the Play store, I still have it, and they can still distribute it from their web site.
From what I have heard every application needs to be updated to specify that it is a username and password input field
So functionality would be hit or miss based on what third party developers are doing. Sounds like a major step backward.
