Actually there are some pretty good Let's Play's on Youtube around Minecraft. Some of them get millions of views and the quality of the video is pretty good (sound/editing). It's not everyone's thing, but what is?
At wartime military officials have lots of power over civilians of the nation they are fighting. They can shoot somebody and tell they wanted to take their gun, and maybe get away with it. I'd rather have people who haven't commited than ones who do.
I have taken a crack at translating this because the first sentence is very true.
Here goes....
During wartime military officials have a lot of power over civilians of the nation they are fighting for. A military official could just shoot someone without just cause and later claim that the civilian was reaching for their weapon. There is a good chance that the military official would get away with it.
The last sentence gets me a bit, but I think you are saying....
If you were the FBI you would rather have law abiding citizens in your database because this would allow you to expand your power.
Why? Linkedin is probably your most scrubbed and polished version of yourself that you would post on the internet. If FB is a picture of you sitting in your underwear on the couch nursing a hangover, LinkedIn is you taking a professional photo wearing a tux.
It is a place that you want the world to see and this deal will mean nothing to the users of the site. It may provide some enhanced tools (Office 365 integration) to buff up your resume, but I fail to see how it even matters otherwise.
Active Directory and Exchange are reasons given by many enterprises. I am sure there are other decent options but that and a place to point your finger if things go wrong. If you are a PHB, perhaps a kickback or two.
This is what the IoT is all about. There are tonnes of other examples as well. How about the guy who invented a system that monitors power usage at his elderly mothers house from his web browser. He knows her routine enough to see power spikes when he should (like the kettle making tea at 10am every morning). If usage looks out of the ordinary he immediately checks up on her to make sure she is ok.
Lots of great stuff happening in maker space. People coming up with all kinds of ingenious way of using embedded devices, like monitoring humidity and temperature for specific applications, water levels...all sensor based. Raspberry Pi's, Arduino, Beaglebones..this to me is exciting and brings an aspect back to computing that is reminiscent of the early days and what got many of us into technology in the first place. It's too bad this is no longer the place to share that joy. But like and idiot I keep coming back here expecting/hoping it can change. But it doesn't, this place is dead. Time to logout for good.
Sorry just replied to the Quebec Italian restaurant one. The Charter is not perfect and there are controversial items in it. Governments usually (again Quebec is a whole other discussion) have to have a solid reason to invoke the clause and do so with great political risk.
Overall the Charter has been a net positive. Should it be criticized? You bet! 100%! That's how democracies work. But it entrenches Canada as a free nation and most Canadians are proud of their country when they read it and identify with it.
As for the old coot who hates Jewish people and would like nothing better than for their people to disappear...well we have plenty of groups in Canada that feel oppressed because they cannot freely oppress others.
You are referring to the notwithstanding clause of the charter in Section 33. Although the clause is there its not like the federal and provincial governments invoke it willy nilly.
Lol it's true, it plays pretty much everything I have thrown at it over the past 4 or 5 years. I've never loved such a horrible piece of technology so much. Also bonus, if I get hungry I can fry a grill cheese on it. heh
Connected to my TV. It's clunky and unintuitive, but it works. I can connect to local shares on my lan and run netflix. Good enough and I don't have the time, or the will in my old age, to setup something more fancy.
I think you are still referring to public repos, which is great. I have an account and projects I make public. It's the private for pay repos I don't really understand the market for.
This is what I am wondering. What is the benefit of a private repo hosted on someone else's platform that you don't control. Any company with source they want to keep private would probably be hosting themselves. I am sure there are use cases but how much money do they actually make with private repos?
I myself use github and its great. But if I am hacking around with concept stuff I usually just push it to my own private server, not to a github private repo i would have to pay for.
I think you meant Gb and not GB. At those speeds I think there will start to be bottlenecks along the way that will also need to be addressed. When I said Jesus Christ I meant in the context of "Must be nice to have those kinds of problems". I am all for more...me and my measly 3.5Mb/s and 512Kbps up. This is quite normal for many people and if we really want to go into the "Information Age" as you put it, we need to start thinking about raising the floor for all instead of having speeds that only a small number of people can take advantage of.
Lets mostly get to 10 right? My heart will not bleed for the anyone with 500Mb/sec (full duplex no doubt).

By talking to the person. It becomes obvious rather quickly.

A for effort. I just gave it a mental 'Ach, nevermind...'
Oh Donald...you silly.
Bitcoin tumbling. Enter dirty bitcoin, exit squeaky clean bitcoin.

Anything on IoT becomes a shitfest discussion of toasters and fridges. Fuck what happened to this place.

I refuse to defend Quebec. Thats a whole different ball of wax.

A pretty decent explanation here.

Ok, thanks for the insight.

There is also gitlab if you really want the gui.
We still have legacy AIX. I know folks that work in that team. Battle hardened vets.
7/10 You managed to get a few sparks and gave me a chuckle.
The guy with the smallest one is most likely to think in that context.

I have about 3.5 Mbps and I can watch MLB.TV as well. Gets choppy if my kid jumps onto Netflix or Youtube though.
It must suck trying to cause mayhem with 1000ms ping times.
