... can't figure out how to grab a copy of the streaming content from a local cache. And then set up a codec to convert it to a usable file format. The download sites make it possible for the average user to bypass all this nonsense and get an MP3 with one click.
The music industry is just trying to plug the big leaks. They'll never stop those with the tech savvy.
Yes. And when I'm on the wining side, we're "doing Agile". If I'm on the losing side, its faux-Agile, disregarding values and principles, having process imposed upon me, etc.
You can say that until you get up in the dark one night and step on a British plug left lying about.
US residential supplies are not two phase. It's single phase with a center tap. Heavy loads are connected across both service legs, getting a 240V supply. General purpose branch circuits are connected to the center tap for 120V. The lower voltage is a trade off in terms of safety and appliance life. Higher currents (for the same power) result in more heating of conductors and high resistance connections. But they place less stress on light bulb filaments and solid state power supplies.
We will eventually give up writing algorithms altogether...
Automated code generation. Automated test generation. Automated test coverage. Been there, done that. Twenty years ago. The people who say 'eventually' are the ones with a vested interest in selling meat sack coding labor to customers.
You think it's unpredictable and not to be trusted? Better not fly in a modern airplane.
In all honesty, you really shouldn't be putting anything you don't want any one in particular to see on the internet.
But the whole point of Facebook is to self promote. It doesn't do any good to brag to your buddies about your upcoming date with a 13 year-old if you do it behind an alias.
Net neutrality was just a part of the Title II classification of broadband providers as common carriers, which was recently overturned. It is the buzzword that most people are familiar with and so it gets put in the headlines. There are numerous other issues besides NN that call for a reinstatement of common carrier status. But since this isn't about to happen, we'll just let 50 states patch together a mishmash of laws in an attempt to achieve the same result.
All working 80 hour weeks. And spending the rest of their lives commuting.
Hint: If you want an interesting social life, think college towns. Small enough where the students and faculty drive the social scene. SF/SV may have some decent universities. But the area is so large, the college atmosphere just dissolves into the general city life.
Which are more reasons that the startups are leaving. Their best employees will just get sucked up by the big boys. And the demand will just drive up prices for the talent.
Pretty soon, it will be like Microsoft and the Seattle area. Where MS can afford to buy your business and/or hire your best employees. And then hide them in a basement, twiddling their thumbs. Just to keep the competition out of the market.
The world is small, thanks to communications and travel systems.
Do you mean telecommute? That will only last as long as your CEO has the balls to stand up to the local business roundtable and answer why he (she) isn't dragging all the employees back to the headquarters. Where they will spend their money on members' overpriced businesses.

My wife has been cranking the thermostat up anyway. She'll be happy to hear this.

At some point it becomes necessary to behead all the architects and begin construction.

I'm not so sure about that. Back in the early days, O'Reilly really took off by producing hard copies of Xlib man pages.

Plenty of "chicks".
O365 periodically phones home to reactivate itself,
So, can't be used within a SCIF.
without having to get pre approval from IT.
So, not enough cocaine and hookers?
Oblig. Futurama.
We don't expect you to procreate.
This.
The proposed system works well if you can pick up the means of production and move should the natives become restless. Not so well with land.
BTW, where do you thing Bezos will be setting up his new headquarters? Object lesson here, Seattle.
Closer to the sound stage.
Good news. Just in time to get one cancelled in Texas.
