This reminds me of the Avant browser of some 10-15 years ago. That was basically an embedded IE frame with a super clunky custom UI around it. Sure, it enabled tabbed browsing and some other nifty things to IE at the time, but the overall user experience was clunky as fuck.
The same is true of Vivaldi. It is just another Webkit based browser (think Chrome, Opera, and Safari), but with yet another clunky UI surrounding it. The browser may support some cool new experimental features, but the rendering pipeline is extremely slow. To get an idea of this, try resizing the window and watch it flicker in and out of place. Whereas Chrome has very nice per-OS rendering optimizations, Vivaldi seems to be fighting with OS UI API rendering calls constantly, slowing it down considerably. This may not be an issue for higher end systems that can spare the CPU/GPU cycles, but on leaner machines for casual browsing, it is a major pain.
The thing still tops out at 8GiB RAM? I still don't understand why mobile devices have such low amounts of maximum RAM. I purchased a cheap ass 10" netbook some 3-4 years ago for only $300 and was able to effortlessly upgrade it to 8GiB of RAM. Surely a 13" system with more horizontal space could pack more RAM, especially with the increase in memory density?
Just a small correction: the interviews don't have to happen at the airport. I was able to go through the interview process about a half our away from the airport, about 5 minutes away from my house. The interview process was painless. The entire thing is handled online, and then in person you just say "yes"/"confirm" to all the information on the form, that's it. The fingerprints are also taken electronically, so nothing messy there. They do the whole hand at once. I was in and out of the place in maybe 10 minutes? I can understand why infrequent travelers wouldn't want to pay the fee, but if you travel regularly it is more than worth it! (especially in airports with super wonky security, like San Diego where you have to leave and re-enter security to switch between gates sometimes)
Having a Jr suffix on my name... breaks most web sites. Amtrak being the worst. On one page, it is required, but the on the next page it breaks. Its now impossible with their most recent update for me to purchase tickets using my account. Without the suffix, it says my name doesn't match, but with the suffix, it says there are invalid characters.
This multi-chunk system is EXACTLY how piracy existed in the old AOL days. There were chat rooms with bots, you typed in commands to the chat room to search for a program/movie, and then the bot would forward you the emails with 10MB attachments (AOLs size limit). Since this was all contained within the AOL ecosystem, the forwarding of emails was instant, since the attachments stayed server-side until downloaded by the client. This made it extremely easy to push larger files out to tons of people all at once.
Serious question, guys. Why do people use NPM or other dependency managers in the first place? Each and every language seems to have their own different dependency manager with its own quirks and problems, such as the one described in TFA. In my company, we just use git with submodules for dependencies. This allows us to easily pull in dependencies regardless of programming language used, or which online git repository their in,our own or open source. Since we're already using git to manage our own source code, this just made perfect sense from day-one, using a single tool to manage all of the source code. So, seriously, what's so great about fragmenting to multiple tools that all do the same job, only for different programming languages, when there is already a centralized tool that we're already using (git) along with these other tools (NPM or otherwise)? Why not just drop these other tools entirely, and avoid the issues mentioned?
You're thinking of Google+, Hangouts is their chat interface. Hangouts is more like Skype, but without the bullshit. Quite nice, actually, if they would stop with all the broken ass fucking beta bullshit in it. REMINDS ME OF/.
And this is exactly why New York blows! I just booked a hotel in the middle of Downtown Seattle for $175/night and it is a full 800sqft multi-room suite. The "smaller" rooms in the 400-600sqft range are about the same price as those 65sqft rooms in New York!? NO THANKS, I'll keep to my smaller cities with bigger rooms!
In my organization, we've switched over to using Yubikeys for handling our private key storage. Our primary use case is SSH keys for remote terminals and git repositories, but there is no reason why it couldn't be used for other secure encryption methods too.
The example was Cuba though. While cell towers may be rugged, how rugged is the back-haul network to support them? Just because a cell tower has battery backed power, and a cell phone can communicate with it, doesn't mean that the cell tower can still communicate with the back-haul network and/or internet. This is one of the situations where satellite phones becomes invaluable.
It isn't the tracking system they want to push, though. They want to push the Windows Marketplace to compete with the Android Play Store and Apple App Store. While in theory they could install and operate the Windows Marketplace on Windows 7/8, Windows 10 comes with new architecture under the hood which is required for many of the new applications to run (such as the new Universal Apps). Their whole game is being a massive storefront, just like their main competitors.
I went and actually read TFA. It seems all they've done is create a bastardized version of a less efficient SPDY/HTTP2 protocol fetching system. Essentially, they're trying to solve a problem that is already solved, but the existing solution is already faster, more efficient, and more well thought out in general.
Please note that this is just a brief summary by comparison to actual rulings in case law, and that this is limited to just photographs, only one subject of Copyright Law. But yes, there is very much a distinction on context.

Or they just run Chrome, and don't want RAM to constantly be swapped in and out.

Holyshit, you're right! The cert for this site is only 2 days old. Didn't even notice until you mentioned it!
There is always Opera, which is basically the stable version of Chrome. The other option is Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com/

Why would you need two of them though when you got good ol friendly /dev/null to copy all your files into!
