These people would have latched onto some other pseudo scientific belief if it wasn't "flat earthism" if youtube didn't exist.
Youtube didn't make these people illogical, it just gave them something to latch onto.
Have the scientist done any long term studies with students that have read files using the font for hundreds or thousands of hours?
.
What happens when a human gets used to the "Sans Forgetica" font and no longer needs to try harder to decipher it?
I guess the "harder to comprehend" edge goes away and we're back to square one.
I've got to say that I love dark mode for everything... but after using Windows for over 25 years, the dark file manager/explorer theme just doesn't seem right. My mind just can't immediately grok files being displayed on a black background rather than white
.
I'll get used to it though. Thanks Microsoft for the choice.
Next thing you know, Microsoft will add the dark mode to the Control Panel (it just continues to stick around after its deprecation in Windows 8: aka the tablet touch UI fiasco, so scandalous it caused Microsoft to skip a version.)
I will be pissed if in a future release "dark mode" inverts the colour scheme of the command window to be black text on a white background, though.;-)
Prior to streaming, album/single sales were used to track popularity. There was no way to gauge numbers of plays per person.
The metric can be modified to ignore the impact of superfans if it's the popularity among the general public that matters.
Superfans will buy any album the group will produce, good or bad, so are good for the bottom line. It's sales to the general public that make a song a hit or an also ran.
The only way the experiment will yield anything close to credible results is for the "basic income" to be self funded. As in the village pays for it by taxing citizens earning money above the basic income more to make up for the ones not able to pay taxes and just collect.
.
If it is funded by outside sources it'll be a love fest since nobody in the village has skin in the game and people just get free money without having to take it from other citizens in the same village.
WTF? How does one take a puff without inhaling? The video clearly shows smoke coming out of his mouth when he exhales after the "puff".
Real men admit to inhaling when they smoke pot. This applies to all the effing politicians that claimed to "not inhale" when they "experimented" with marijuana in their "wild" college days.
Yep, the 45th POTUS is a GREAT supporter of the Constitution, so it would be SO SO much better for the government to control speech on private company's offerings.
There is nobody more knowledgeable nor more of a stable genius to guide the American people through all the Fake News. Whatever 45 says IS THE Truth, everything else is FALSE.
The size of the original iPhone was the "perfect" size for a smartphone since it does everything you need with one handed operation PLUS it will fit in the average size pocket in pair of women's pants.
The iPhone X is just a gargantuan bastardized "bigger is better" mutation of Steve Job's perfect one handed smart phone design.
I can see how LPR data can be used to correlate charges on a SNAP debit card with location of the registered receipient. However, IMHO it should not be used without a warrant, so should not be used for "fishing expeditions".
It took a lot of hard work by many many people to get to this point. Definitely a HUGE achievement by all the workers at Tesla.
However, one winning quarter cannot be always extrapolated per dot-com-boom hockey stick exponential estimates.
If Tesla can keep these sales percentage numbers this high indefinitely, then they're definitely worth what they're valued at today.
So far Tesla is roughly following the same pattern as as Space-X. One successful landing of a first stage was a HUGE accomplishment, but is not as disruptive as SEVERAL successful landings in a row... Space-X has now accomplished multiple successful launches of reused first stages and is NO DOUBT leading the even the established conglomerates with reliable, low cost launch vehicles. Tesla is not at that stage yet, and it is not 100% certain that it will dominate, but it certainly has a chance, much better today than x months ago which is itself a great achievement.
FYI: Magic Leap board members: Sundar Pichai (Google), Jack Ma (Alibaba), Paul Jacobs (Qualcomm)
Of course you have to remember, Magic Leap is not really a traditional tech company, it is a marketing company (actually more of an independent record label / AR content company) that stumbled upon some piezoelectric fiberoptic scanning technology (via Prof Eric Seibel UW) and is now attempting make it work using some kind of custom silicon photonics device. Their goal is to apparently license the resulting technology for use by content developers (part of their marketing company roots).
If "IRWIN" Jacobs instead of "Paul" were on the board, I'd be impressed.
Meh. I just want the old two pane file manager back again. (yeah, I know about 2xplorer, etc, etc, but I'd like microsoft to restore what it took away.)
So much for Microsoft's original excuse of getting rid of the two paned one... It's not "object oriented" enough. You should open up (instantiate) a new explorer window for each directory you want to move things from/to. This tabbed explorer doesn't fit the "object" model, either.
Maybe Amazon is just keeping Ring out of the hands of other companies, it probably doesn't NEED it. But all the patents and the customer base are now under Amazon's umbrella and not a competitors. Think of it as a high tech cockblock.
I don't have any need for a Ring, but I know a lot of people that think it's a great idea, especially non-technical types that are convinced that it will make their house safe and will gladly pay the recurring monthly fees to access stuff completely contained on a proprietary site.
I'm surprised my wrist isn't permanently damaged by playing "Summer Games" with the "designed to flout ergonomics" Wico "The Boss" joystick on the Commodore 64 when I was a kid.
Windows 10 also has spam in the start menu ('Suggested Apps'), mysterious phoning-home ('telemetry'), on-by-default web-search in the start-bar search, it deliberately makes it difficult to disable Cortana, and they're pushing UWP, the whole point of which appears to be lock people in to Microsoft's app-store that nobody asked for.
But there's Direct3D 12, which seems neat... if you can't use Vulkan.
These "features" are irrelevant to an Enterprise installation of Windows 10 since they can and should be disabled for all Enterprise installations by competent system administrators.
Well, let's see, after deregulation of the Electricity market caused the power shortages in California since the private power companies realized that the capital costs involved with building new generation capacity was really expensive and that electricity is a necessity, so they just stopped building new plants and just raised electricity prices. Plus Enron.
So with regards to the selling of federal assets:
It may be that the private market will game the system better with the extra control they have over the most valuable assets... they'll let buildings run down even more and charge even higher fees because it's really expensive and time consuming to build another airport near Washington DC... and if you start, they'll wait until you're underway and then cut their pricing to bankrupt your project and then raise prices even higher afterwards.
Yeah, sell the assets once to get a lump sum now, pay from now to eternity "leasing" it back. We'll see how the state's and city's budgets will look like in 10 years for the ones that sold their legislative offices to private enterprise so they can lease them back...
I don't know what pansy college you went to... but most college graduates didn't go to college with "safe zones". On the extreme end of things, the ones that went to a certain American college in late sixties, early seventies were shot at and four were killed by the National Guard for protesting.
The overly PC sentiment among college students and lack of respect for others that disagree with their views is a fairly recent phenomenon.
New York is building wind farms for whatever reasons, good or bad.
Offshore oil drilling is on hold because oil prices are not high enough to justify building new offshore rigs given whatever tradeoffs good or bad.
But if/when oil prices get high enough, there definitely will be offshore drilling off the New York coast, most likely NOT for local consumption, but for export. If there's enough financial motivation, projects will get approved.
And the wind farms will still be there... and may even have more wind farms put up because they're so much cheaper than burning oil based products for electricity.

I guess it's "Funding Secured" for real this time. Only it's not for Tesla, but it's "only" 1 Billion.

The frequent use of the internet and mobile phones could be a symptom of people who have ADHD rather than causing ADHD...

Norton Commander, the original "commander" file manager, was originally a MS-DOS program. So mc is so "1980's". ;-)
(I'm not knocking mc, the dual pane file manager is my preferred setup.)

Amazon didn't *LOSE* 2 billion dollars a year. The just didn't make much of a profit for a company that had so much revenue.
