They're still estimating the exact number though. So it's *exactly* maybe somewhere around 58.5 million, probably. Luckily, PCs are created in batches of exactly 100 000 units which facilitates this sort of exact estimate.
A windowed app in 2019? That's heresy! Everything must run full screen and tabbed to waste as many pixels as possible. Multi-tasking confuses users and windows? No... Those can move and then you become overwhelmed and lost. The ideal interface should be a large button in the middle of the screen labeled: "Do what you think I want, I'm the product, not the user."
Entirely absent from the discussion seem to be the people who fully believe in vaccines but do not fully trust their current for-profit implementation. When a company has a product that people are (pretty much) compelled to use, profit margins are the primary concern. As long as the death/harm is kept to a level that doesn't affect profit, it's fair game. It is sane and reasonable to question whether that level is lower than the risk to your or your child's health.
That said, yeah... Check with an immunologist, not Pinterest.
Maybe they'll be smart enough to sway their country's ideology towards liberty without getting disappeared when they grow up. I certainly am not smart enough to figure out how that could be done now, let alone in a couple decades.
Actually, that's a brilliant strategy. They're waiting for Trump to show off how he can disconnect the US from the Internet much longer and much better!
They're still bad enough with security that I suspect it might eventually end up being a matter of hacking the TV yourself and putting together your own OS for it.
Be careful what you wish for, that's not a species where the individual exists. Outside of a very lonely and bored hive-mind, I don't think what you describe would work too well.
Put him in a movie with helicopters in it and he'll teach himself to fly a helicopter to the level of a veteran stunt coordinator. Break his ankle on the side of a building, and he'll stagger out of frame on his ruined legs rather than blow a shot.
... take him to a scientology meeting and... Oh nevermind.
3. once China enforce harder, their hi-tech industry will only become more competitive.
My logic might not be the same as yours. In game theory, you are always more competitive if you don't waste energy on enforcement. As far as I understand a patent is a legally enforced monopoly on something, that's pretty much the opposite of being competitive.
It's using the legal system to cheat your way out of having to compete. It does give you an advantage over would-be competitors but it doesn't make you more competitive. If the ref had the power to decide that only one of the basketball teams is allowed to touch the ball, that team is pretty sure to win but at that point it isn't competing.
IoT is a solution to a problem, just not the consumer's problem. It is a solution to the manufacturer's problem of gathering as much information on the consumer as possible so that they can make money on whatever they sold you *and* make money selling that information. A lot of IoT and smart devices now are practically sold at a loss from a hardware perspective just so they can tap into that revenue stream.
In 25 years, I doubt what you understand to be the EU today will even exist. It will either fail completely or have managed to ensure its dominion through military force. It cannot sustain itself economically in its current state and when it is done devouring its remaining productive members, those will be the two remaining options.
Knowing history and trying to learn from it? What are you, some kind of weirdo? Arguments are won through knee-jerk emotional responses and narrowing down reality to your own limited perception, not rational thoughts.
A long time ago, when you wanted to download NT4's service pack 6 from Microsoft's web site. There was a javascript that checked your browser and ran an incredibly large and useless for() loop if it wasn't IE. They eventually removed it but I'm pretty sure I have a copy of the page saved somewhere.
The only 'disadvantage' of a deflationary currency is that it encourages people to save their earnings rather than live on credit. I'll grant you that it's a radical change from the current norm but I wouldn't call it a bad thing. Banks hate that kind of economy because they'd much rather charge interest than pay it and hence are the main drivers behind the 'deflation is a horrible thing' myth. Inflation rewards irresponsible people. Deflation rewards responsible people.
As for equability, that is not the responsibility of a currency, that's the responsibility of the society using it. I'd love to hear someone describe how the rupy is more/less equitable than the yen.
They already map IP addresses rather precisely so all they need is the IP address your phone uses (through WiFi) to figure out where you are so long as one device somehow provided them its location from that IP address. In effect, your 'location' is turned on the moment somebody else has or had 'location' turned on while connected to that wifi access point.
One person being intolerant of another intolerant person == two intolerant persons.
Then there's the trend in our society to find as many new ways to be offended as possible and you end up compounding the problem.
My guess is that since as society begins treating the special groups we're trying to protect/defend as just normal people, those who's identity relies on fighting to protect those differences have to fight harder and harder to remain relevant. This ironically is a result of their success. Not being a racist/sexist doesn't make you special anymore*, it just means you're like pretty much everyone else. That's a *good* thing, please accept it and stop trying to create division among people just to selfishly keep your sense of purpose.
* There is still plenty of sexism and racism. My point is that it's now generally accepted that these things are bad. The 'convince people that it is bad' fight is won already, the key now is just to lead by example. People who are still racist/sexist nowadays are so by choice. Like flat-earthers, it's not for lack of information or people telling them they're wrong. You're not going to 'fix' them, just try your best not to be as stupid.

How come I don't have one on my head yet?

Well, to be fair to that specific asshole, the article specifically states that it's outside their natural habitat.

Nah, they just realized that KDE's code base is just too big to be merge into systemd.
but the simple fact is that in order to compete against them your favorite flavor adopted things made by them and had to compete with their usability.
I completely agree... Then I think of systemd.
Don't worry, it's just temporary like income tax. Soon as we're done paying for WW2, we'll get rid of the tax, we swear!

Settle down, children.
He doesn't care. I don't even think he's under oath. There are no real consequences to him for lying.

TFA says 'about Silicon Valley' though. I agree that The IT Crowd is a wonderful show but it's about computer geeks/IT, not Silicon Valley.

Glen Greenwald (of Snowden fame) gave a pretty enlightening talk at Yale on that very topic, for those interested:
