It's not enforcement of DRM on audio playback. It's enforcement of the MFi Program for certifying hardware that uses the Lightning port. Right now any headphone maker in the world can make any headphones they want for the standard jack. Not so with the Lightning port.
So yes, it is about DRM: limiting what headphones can be put into the phone. Jerks.
Even audiophiles use standard jacks, so it's not a problem of audio quality.
Also, Apple has a habit of using weird ports, and unlike obsoleting the floppy, the weird ports have been a failure every time (except some designed by Woz back in the 80s).
Game 6 was already lost by the time Steph was booted.
The warriors lost because they weren't shooting as well as they normally do. Curry's shooting percentage dropped from 65% (regular season) to 47% in the finals. In the last few minutes of game 7, when the score was 89-89, Curry missed a 3-pointer, but so did Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, and Clay Thompson. Of course, LeBron stopped an important layup, but if the warriors had hit one more basket, that wouldn't have mattered. The Warriors had it within their power to win, and they let it go to the Cavs.
Steph Curry was booted from game 6 after the game was already lost, they were so far behind at that point that remaining in wouldn't have helped, and complaining about the refs makes you look like a whiny fanboy who doesn't understand why his team lost.
Or, there was an economic boom in the mid to late 90s, reducing the deficit.
That's definitely part of it, but it's not normal for politicians to get money and not spend it. There was a real focus on both sides of the aisle to reduce the deficit, that lasted through the Gore/Bush election (but Bush trashed it, and it hasn't been an issue since).
However, in this election the Libertarian candidate is polling higher than ever. Both major parties have to notice this and think about adopting some libertarian views next time.
It happened after Perot.....both parties got serious about the deficit after that. Didn't last very very long, but it was good while it lasted.
That ship represents a human population that is spilling way out of control, killing Earth's ecosystems and wreaking environmental catastrophe. It represents the stripping of resources from Earth on vast scales which is totally unsustainable. That ship is a symbol of humankind's failure, not progress. If you don't believe it, wait 100 years.
The ship is better than the smaller ships, because it uses less resources to run. Shipping a toothbrush across the ocean takes less oil than driving a mile to the store to pick it up. This is a symbol of progress and good things.
With overwhelming cost advantages, especially on fuel, and cheap finance readily available, the upsizing decision appears to have been a straightforward one for shipping lines.
The ones who are worried are the insurers mainly, it seems. But I'm sure they're just adapting by increasing premiums.
It also has a deep knowledge base. So it's language to knowledge, not language to text, which is better (even if the knowledge is pale compared to a human's).
Which brings up an interesting point......even with such a small training set, a human can easily understand the traits of the different houses, and often recognize which house a new character is in before being told. Thus we see that humans can learn from a much, much smaller training set than a neural network. (Although since Watson is more of NLP + some kind of concept engine, it might be able to learn with a much smaller dataset).
Think of how much better the economy would be if everyone had $200-$1000 a year extra to spend on something besides car accidents. Bad for insurers of course, but they can go on to do something more productive with their lives.
You might have a point if the bug hadn't been found for 13 years.....in this case, the bug has been known for a long time, it was a matter of finding fingers to fix rather than eyeballs to see. So you'll have to step off your soapbox this time, abuelo.

I love how your subtle, yet powerful, argument is so based on facts.

But of course, one could say the same (w/ far fewer anecdotes probably) about Gates, Ellison, Bezos, Larry Page.
Probably about every person who's ever lived, actually. If Mother Theresa and Gandhi get that treatment, what hope is there for the rest of us?

It's not 1994, you can stop hating MS now.
No thanks, we still know they're just as evil as Google.
The books use words to describe the traits of each house. You don't need to rely on inferring it from the characters.
Another was to prevent purchases by people on the FBI no fly list
The FBI no-fly list is an invasion of rights, has no real oversight, and should be gotten rid of.

Maybe. You can straight-up read the traits here, you don't need to look through thousands of datapoints. Here and here are other places you can learn without a large sample.
You shouldn't be a vegan, babe.
That kind of computation ability with that low amount of power is worth something.
Not sure what you are calling a "hex screw".

With his stylin' digs, he's a Hufflepuff for sure. Not smart enough to be a Slytherin, that's for sure.

MUCH harder to strip the head than a Phillips
Pentalobe is definitely better than phillips, but they aren't as good as a hex screw imo (and yes, I have a pentalobe screwdriver)
ok! The project shouldn't be forked then!
So it is fine for open source software to have known and understood bugs
Open source programmers should all read this book, and when a project doesn't fix bugs, it's time for a fork.
Oh thanks, that's not exactly perfect, but seems good enough.
One of the problems with software development is that people like adding features but they won't invest the time to crush every last bug.
YES!!
When there is a bug in my code, I feel shame, and I fix it as soon as possible! I don't know what's wrong with these people.
