It has never been about whether it is technically possible. It is all about competence and the complete lack of trust in those that possess that access, They have been repeatedly shown to abuse every privilege they have, why would anyone think this would be any different?
His job DIDN'T change, 20 years ago he was writing code, he is still writing code. likewise 20 years ago I was writing C++ code, I am still writing C++ code today.
because hiding your ownership of assets has a lot more effects and protection than what being in Delaware provides. Delware does not hide your details from the IRS, Delaware does not hide your assets from courts in case you are being sued and dragged through the courts over debts, delware does not hide your net worth from divorce lawyers that are demanding a 50-50 split. Basically it isn't just tax protection these people are seeking by hiding wealth, it is a general protection from all courts, agencies and peoples that might now or later want to make a claim against them.
these havens house nearly a quarter of all companies in existence on the planet. I find it highly suspicious that so far no one of significance form the US has been outed. Even Australia has 800 people identified in there. It seems of having being scrubbed before being released to the press.
No it doesn't require ever increasing storage and it doesn't mean they store it forever. It means they can delete archive or whatever at there own pace and not have to respond to timelines dictated by others.
I don't think much of OR but these clauses are bog standard. They are irrevocable and perpetual as anything else would be insane and require additional work on their part to implement. They are their so that if as you say you do sell your device or stop using or anything else or suddenly decide you didn't like publishing XYZ they don't have to worry about running around ensuring your content is deleted from everywhere. You will find just about every forum or site where you post content too has pretty much exactly the same clauses, they are extensive and generic to ensure they don't have to worry about constant legal trouble from arseholes that want to claim copyright on item X after the fact.
There are plenty of opportunities for fun, but business tools is NOT one of them. MS learnt this lesson a long time ago with easter eggs that used to be in every product. If you want your tools to be taken seriously and used by enterprises then don't fuck with them on a whim for a bit of fun, It sends the wrong message about how you manage the system and can have unforseen consequences.
nice idea but far too limited website support and far too limited browser support for it. If they get it to a point where they support more platforms and browsers and websites I would be happy to fork over a subscription each month. I won't fund their efforts until they have a service that is worthwhile. Perhaps they need to change their subscription model to cents per ad free page served until they can show good website support..
I don't want to be paid to watch Ad's, I don't want to see them at all ever, and yes I am willing to pay an annual subscription for that privilege if someone can make a browser and websites behave well with Ad Blocking (I doubt this project is it though).
I have to call BULLSHIT on the latency statement. The amount of latency added from decent encryption would be unnoticeable on any modern processing platform. WTF sort of mickey mouse crap are they using in these $28k drones? even a raspberry Pi could handle encryption without noticeable latency.
Those banks track orders of magnitude higher volumes of currency and yet use orders of magnitude less power than bitcoin consumes. The truly sad part though is they could have actually used bitcoin to benefit mankind, their are all sorts of distributed computing projects that need processing power, they could have simply awarded the coins based on contribution to one of those projects.
Of course they are fucking skewed for the last few days. There Dev conference is on and as usual they make a ton of announcements at that conference, many of which are most definitely, news and technology that matters or affects people that work with computers.
well firstly Sony has been in serious financial trouble for a number of years which immediately places any service they are running on long term shakey ground (yes they seem to have turned the corner in the last 12 months but it would only take a few more bad quarters and they could be looking at being bankrupt). UV terms makes no guarentees that you own the movie for life, think it is something like 3 years from purchase they guarantee which makes it significantly WORSE than owning a physical copy.
I don't give a shit whether I own the copies or not. I care about whether I can access the content and how much content, As such this means Sony backed crap is a no go though. I would much prefer to pay a moerate monthly fee with access to everything. Netflix gets the closest to my ideal just content range holding it back.
Crazies in a crowd of gun wielding nutters that are already looking for a fight is a recipe for disaster. Fire a shot and point at someone else with a gun screaming "quick kill him he is trying to shoot trump", watch as all hell breaks loose. not to mention if you are a nutter and you intend to kill trump then it only takes one shot, a hundred thousand people with guns at the rally aren't going to be able to stop that.
Go to places some of the African countries or china and look what mining of the rare earth elements for solar is doing to the environment and then come back and say it is cleaner. Thermal has limited places that it can be used and cannot hope to meet supply demands and geothermal still actually results in higher emissions than nuclear.
no radar signature or images in controlled airspace.
yeah no shit Sherlock. of course all drone pilots are nice law abiding citizens, couldn't have anything to do with the fact most drones don't register on Radar. I am sure the pilots that had near misses and took evasive action are all liars as they didn't stop to take a photo.
We currently have no better alternatives. Nuclear is currently the cleanest tech we have, it is cleaner than wind/solar/tidal and orders of magnitude cleaner than coal or gas. Kills far less than coal plants and hence is arguably safer. The real killer for nuclear though tends to be cost. Nuclear is the future if they can get it a little more affordable to maintain. It is also moronic to compare nuclear to what they built in the 50's. None of the modern designs are remotely similar to what they produced back then.
Story sounds suspicious. Null as a string is not a reserved word or a name that should cause problems unless they are doing some really weird shit. You might check a string for being NULL but you would never check a string to see if it was equal to "Null" (unless you are employing retard programmers).
First Gen?? This is about gen 10 of smartwatches. Each time they come out as the next big must have thing by whatever company at the time is pushing them and then they disappear again when they receive luke warm reception and sales don't match the hype.
I will stick by my original statements when they released this crop of smart watches. Until the battery life is measured in months (preferably at least 6) then you can keep em. A watch isn't even needed by most people nowadays and those that actually benefit from a smartwatch are an even smaller audience.
nanny state arseholes like you make me sick. this has nothing to do with 401k and is all about normal trading. What you are proposing as good changes turns the market into a fucking casino where once you make a decision, your money is locked into that decision without any benefit or ability to make informed decisions even though you haven't bought anything, all because you think it is more important to make laws and rules to protect people from themselves. Better ban guns world wide as you could shoot yourself, better ban cars as you could have a crash going to the shops. I am all for preventing illegal behaviour designed to fuck others over, but stop fucking everyone over because you want to act like there mommy and protect from them bad decisions.

Possible, but highly unlikely to be a common problem then.

even with that definition we are NOT gen 1. Microsoft SPOT, fossil, Samsung s9110, the early 2000's Linux watch, truesmart, sony, razor etc.
People don't think of you as having Big Data because you DON'T. Those numbers don't even qualify as Largish data. more middle of the road
