overpriced downgraded games compared to their PC version.
Where is the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn, or God of War, or Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, or Firewall: Zero Hour? Or any of the Uncharted games? Spider-Man?
The best games of the last few years haven't been on PC, and probably never will be. Doesn't matter how good the hardware is -- Sony is killing it with software, which is where things matter.
So take your hardware superiority somewhere else. The adults here are trying to have a conversation.
I don't understand why the current generation of game consoles even have a optical drive in them.
The PS4 sells globally, including in regions of the planet that have poor Internet. Most PS4 games are completely and playable on disc; Day 1 updates will contain a lot of fixes and improvements, but if you're not playing online (which you probably won't be if you have crappy internet), then you don't really need them.
That's hardly true, unless you're a complete monster to your keyboards. Most people feel that the previous generation of MacBook Pro keyboards were excellent (for a laptop keyboard in particular). And I still have my A1016 Wireless Keyboard, which IMO sits right up there with the IBM Model M keyboards in terms of design and response. Those were from 2003, but that was just 16 years ago, so certainly less than "over two decades".
Being a US-centric test, it's possible that the test presumes the use of the ACM/IEEE curriculum. From what I can tell, the Major Field Test for Computer Science is designed with input from professors from several US universities, and presumably they design it around the curricula they teach and feel is important for a student to know -- and chances are very good that curricula is the ACM/IEEE curricula. If Chinese, Indian, and Russian Universities are using different curricula standards, it would absolutely introduce some form of bias.
If you want an encrypted connection with an exit point in country X, are you going to buy and pay for a server in country X?
Why not? With cloud-based services like Amazon EC2 you can setup a cloud computing instance suitable for running a private VPN in various data centres around the world in minutes. Heck, Amazon provides t2.micro instances free for the first 12 months to new accounts -- so this is neither difficult nor expensive to accomplish.
I agree with your other points concerning traffic analysis -- this isn't exactly a great solution for privacy (although more than sufficient for bypassing georestrictions), but you make it sound like setting up or paying for a server in another country is something that is difficult or expensive, when it is neither these days (at least if your overall utilization is fairly low -- 8 core instances with 64GB of RAM and several TB of storage are going to cost you an arm and a leg, especially if traffic and utilization is high).
That’s somewhat more difficult to do if you’re trying to “VPN” out of your home country.
That entirely depends on the reasons why you want to use a VPN in the first place.
If you're trying to VPN for the purpose of evading geo-restrictions on video, then setting up a VPN out of your home country is easy (for most people in the world at least): sign up for Amazon AWS/Microsoft Azure/Google Cloud Platform, fire up a Linux instance, install and configure OpenVPN, and you're done. You can go from nothing to having your own VPN in another country in less than an hour (if you know what you're doing, at least).
If you're primarily looking for privacy and security, then I suppose it depends on what country you're in. If you're in Saudi Arabia and want to hide your porn browsing, then the above method will also work just fine. If you're worried about foreign governments intercepting your communications, then you shouldn't need to setup a VPN outside your home country in the first place (unless you're unlucky enough to live in a country where you don't trust your own _or_ foreign governments, in which case you need a complete end-to-end encryption and data traffic masking solution beyond what your typical VPN provides anyway)
Other than USB-C what USB device has ever necessitated you buying an adapter or a cable?
I agree with your point, but I do in fact have an example. For some idiotic reason, the stereo that came with my car (a 2010 Elantra Touring) provides a female USB Mini-B port for plugging in USB devices like thumb drives and other mass storage devices (or certain phones that can emulate a mass storage device or music).
Now I don't know about you, but I'm not aware of any thumb drives or hard drives that feature a USB Mini B connector, or any phone cables that are USB Mini B on one end and USB Micro B on the other. Not even the dealership had a suitable cable to plug anything into the stereo. I was of course able to get from Amazon some female USB Type A to male USB Mini B adaptors, but it's still just about the dumbest implementation of USB I've ever seen (and necessitated me buying an adaptor).
FWIW, while you can't really buy a new 3D capable TV, the PlayStation VR can be bought new and can still display 3D movies.
It's a different experience -- but you get a much bigger virtual TV size (the size is selectable, but at the largest size is like being at a movie theatre). Plus it will output the 3D signal to a 3D TV, and can automatically output a 2D image to a 2D TV while the VR headset is in use.
That may or may not be your cup of tea, but it is something you can buy today that will play and display 3D BluRay discs.
I suspect most UltraViolet digital locker unlocks were from digital media purchases, as many BluRays have come with UltraViolet codes for digital copies.
I always buy physical as well -- but have several UltraViolet (and a number of iTunes) "copies" that came with the media. And while I've long disliked UltraViolet with a passion, iTunes copies are quite handy to stream or download to an iOS, tvOS, or laptop, and always work the first time without a ton of screwing around.
(As I've noted elsewhere, my experience is based on living in Canada, where media with UltraViolet codes is all over the place, but where UltraViolet support and online vendor availability (myuv.com lists a whopping three -- Flixster, Kaleidescope, and Sony Pictures) has roundly sucked).
Ultraviolet reinforced the concept that if you bought a license for a show or movie, that license was universal and entitled you to stream it from anywhere
The idea may have been good, but the implementation -- particularly outside the US -- sucked badly. Their software support to actually watch films was terrible, and by relying on third-parties to actually host the content, you were at their whim if they decided to stop making certain pieces of media available for download and/or streaming.
So it wasn't "one studio". UltraViolet had a myriad of issues that made it difficult to watch your content, severely degraded the audio and video of your content (in certain situations), and which made it difficult to watch your content on a variety of devices, and where content my simply disappear at any time.
As a consumer, it always cheesed me off if I bought a BluRay and found it had an UltraViolet code in it, as the experience was uniformly terrible. I've always had a much easier time with iTunes codes -- they work, are well supported, Apple always has the content, I can stream in HD even a year or two after entering the code, and the experience is always uniformly positive.
(Note that as I only get codes for each via physical media purchases, I am able to rip the content myself. At home I typically use the physical media for viewing, but if I want something on the road on my iPad or laptop, while I could transfer a copy I've ripped to the device in question it's always easier to just download or stream it from iTunes. That was never the case with UltraViolet).
Ultraviolet reinforced the concept that if you bought a license for a show or movie, that license was universal and entitled you to stream it from anywhere
...for values of from anywhere that equal "within the United States".
Very, very, very few services ever worked with UltraViolet outside the US, and many of those who did had limited libraries of content. And even fewer of those ever supported any sort of set-top streaming -- I have yet to find one that works in Canada for a set-top box, for example.
I only buy movies on physical media (usually BluRay/DVD combo packs), and rip the DVDs to my media server for easy streaming. I've had a few UltraViolet codes, but trying to actually watch an UltraViolet movie has always been a major PITA. A number of the ones I have became unavailable for download without any prior notice, and if I didn't already have them downloaded on a specific device, I could only ever get a license to stream them in standard definition.
So screw UltraViolet. Outside the US it had poor support, few providers, few/no apps for streaming devices, took movies you had purchased offline for download leaving only SD quality -- and yet even with all of this terrible support they still pushed it to BluRay/DVD buyers (in Canada at least).
Every BluRay/DVD that came with an iTunes code, on the other hand, has worked just fine and continues to be available for both download and streaming, without any forced quality degradation. Hopefully with UltraViolet closing down more BluRays will come with iTunes codes instead.
Yet again the US is applying it's laws to conduct happening on foreign soil.
No they aren't. She isn't charged with her company violating the US's sanctions against Iran -- she's charged with lying to a potential investor while on US soil by misrepresenting her companies business with Iran.
That's fraud, and it was committed while she was in the US. You don't get a free pass from prosecution just because you leave the country after committing a crime there. And this wasn't a surprise to her -- she was apprehended in Vancouver while on her way to Mexico, having booked travel to specifically bypass travel through the US, knowing she was going to be arrested if she set foot in the country. What she didn't expect was that the US was ready with an extradition request when she landed in Canada.
The US is applying their laws in this case against conduct that happened on their own soil. Should they have sufficient evidence of the crime she's actually accused of (fraud), then there is no reason why they shouldn't be applying their laws in this case.
This has virtually always been the case. Apple rarely introduces new features in 10.x.y releases (y > 0) ; new features are mainly introduced in 10.x.0 releases.
This is a bug fix for an existing OS release. I generally prefer if my OS vendor isn't using a fixpack to introduce significant new features.
Only a limited minority took part in the armed battles.
Allow me to give you a math lesson. "Limited minority" is non zero. It means rare, and not non-existent.
EA chose to make a trailer that included one of these "limited minority" women (who your own quote notes did, in fact, exist), and morons such as yourself are losing their shit.
I have no "social justice ideology". I only have historical truths. You'd have an argument if EA's trailer included only women -- but they show one. That is hardly historically inaccurate for WWII. Rare -- yes. Inaccurate, no.
Should I get her a Chromebook or a mid-level laptop running Windows? Any thoughts?
Nothing says "I really appreciate how brilliant you are as an employee" like buying them a craptacular mid-level laptop.
Put the money in and buy your brilliant employee a high-end laptop. Something that shows that you value your employees, and something that shows off how well you treat your employees.
There is nothing more demoralizing in a tech company being given a crappy mid-range computer. It's actually one of the things I look for when I walk into a tech company -- what sorts of machines do they provision their employees with? The innovative ones don't spare any expense on giving their people the best possible tools (even if sometimes they're overkill). The ones with the most loyal tech employees likewise have machines their employees are happiest with.
What system is up to you -- a ThinkPad, a Google Pixelbook, a MacBook Pro, or a kitted out Surface Pro -- depending on your needs. But get something that shows that your company doesn't put up with mediocre, and trusts its employees with good stuff that makes them happy. Customers will notice, and so too will perspective future employees. The extra few hundred Euros you invest today will easily pay for itself.
Okay -- I'm trying to picture someone who has the kinda of deep pockets to be able to afford an 88", 8k TV set, but who needs to use the internal speakers because they can't afford a proper surround sound receiver and speakers.
Thunderbolt 3, decent, CPU, non-soldered on RAM/disk
I can understand non-soldered RAM, but now that the drives are all SSD (and in most Macs they aren't really even physical "drives" anymore -- they're chips directly soldered to the board), if a new Mac mini comes with Thunderbolt 3 you're better off upgrading by adding external Thunderbolt-based storage.
manufacturing an electric car pumps out "significantly" more climate-warming gases than a conventional car, which releases only 20 percent of its lifetime CO2 at this stage.
Is the article trying to spin this as a good thing? What this is basically saying is that over the lifetime of a conventional car, it emits 80% of its emissions just from driving
I'd expect an electric car to have higher manufacturing emissions as a ration of its lifetime emissions -- that's rather the point -- they are zero emission vehicles. Emissions during manufacturing should be extremely high, as emissions during the rest of the lifetime of the vehicle are comparatively low (particularly in countries with a high percentage of renewable and nuclear energy)
I would be interested in hearing your, further, thoughts on the matter though...
I'm hardly an expert in this area, but I appreciate your willingness to have an honest discussion about it.
You may very well be right -- if a job pays too little, you may simply find nobody is willing to work that job. But I suspect on the really low-end of employment this may not be the case. Companies are still going to prefer people with experience and with education, and while people with these attributes may see competition in pay under a UBI system, those who don't (but who still want more in life than the minimums that UBI affords) will still be sufficient -- and IMO they should be protected from being abused with an undignified level of pay.
Now all that said, it may be the a reasonable minimum wage can be much lower than what people expect today. Maybe under UBI a minimum wage of $5 an hour makes sense, as opposed to the $15 an hour many are pushing for today. I don't know. But I suspect that someone who wants to work and is trying to get ahead shouldn't be making 50 an hour just because they get a UBI.

There is no "US program"
That's not entirely true.
The ACM, in conjunction with the IEEE publishes a set of common curriculum standards for post-secondary Computer Science programs. Many (most?) colleges and Universities in North America that have Computer Science programs will, at least in part, base their curriculum off the ACM/IEEE recommendations.
Being a US-centric test, it's possible that the test presumes the use of the ACM/IEEE curriculum. From what I can tell, the Major Field Test for Computer Science is designed with input from professors from several US universities, and presumably they design it around the curricula they teach and feel is important for a student to know -- and chances are very good that curricula is the ACM/IEEE curricula.
