Give me a fucking break. They know exactly what they're doing. Don't try and gaslight everyone into thinking that we're all imagining the obvious intent.
So WetBoobs is just in my head I mean it's the most obvious acronym you just take the phrase weatherWebOOB and remove the obvious letters that are unnecessary: Weatherboob + s
I'm sure QHandJoob removes the confusion of having it named QJoob.
As Gregor Herrmann eloquently put it, it's "not ok to use the boobs theme for a web scraper or other software unrelated to boobs [sic] themselves, where its only function is to make a small group of users giggle while objectifying, offending or boring the rest of the world."
We appreciate uploading a new version without the insults (and thank Jonathan Dowland for his efforts[2][3] on this front). Please note that the insults and homophobic language *is* a flagrant violation of Debian's CoC and in our opinion, Debian should not ship new software including them.

For a better comparison Super Excavators (the previous owners of Godot) used the exact same machine to build a 1,640 ft sewer overflow tunnel for $12.4 million, or scaling up $38 million/mile
Musk said it cost about $10 million to build the 1.14-mile demonstration tunnel.
So you are saying their very first ever test tunnel came in at 25% of the price of the established competitor?
2 other times. To be fair being pulled over by the cops for not-speeding (and therefore being the classic cautious-buzzed-driver) wasn't their fault. The other time was high-winds blowing it out of a lane. Which seems like a relatively easy enough fix. Probably exceeded its 'safe-steering' limits.
The CEO is a former MIPS CTO. They had already committed to a technology they were familiar with before MIPS came up for sale. They simply acquired the rights to technology they had already chosen.
They can now make an MIPS-AI CPU with their custom neural net hardware integrated with a MIPS CPU and sell a high quality, well understood and well supported CPU but with an added accelerator for AI tasks. It's similar to Nvidia's similar efforts, except Nvidia is pairing an ARM core as the necessary-evil-component and paying ARM for the license.
Well we worked hard on it, it wasn't profitable. Might as well open source it, and see if anyone else would have any value with it.
It's a fair criticism but in this case it's the non-altruistic motive: they want other people to maintain their tech for them.
Wave is a hardware neural net company. They bought MIPS so that they could have an ultra low power CPU to handle the basic overhead of an OS and dispatch training jobs to their custom ASIC. Since the MIPS CPU is nothing more than a necessary evil in their system, open sourcing means they maintain a healthy MIPS ecosystem to keep their CPU architecture from rotting and maybe even evolving. The more people that use their CPU the more free updates they get. Win\Win.
Colorspace defines the maximum saturation of each of the primaries. Dynamic range measures the range from the maximum intensity to the minimal intensity.
You can have a black and white monochromatic colorspace with 1 to 1,000 nits. Or you can have a black and white monochromatic colorspace with 1 to 100 nits. You would have a 10x difference in dynamic range with no change in the colorspace.
And since the battery was turned on this past Friday,
From the very first sentence of The Fucking Summary "Last December, Tesla switched on the world's biggest lithium ion battery " It's been a year.
That aside, how much did this battery cost?
I don't know, again, maybe read even the fucking summary:
It is particularly impressive when you consider that the massive Tesla Powerpack system cost only $66 million
If you want to critique something here is the error in the logic: While the battery saved $40m to rate payers, the owner of the battery didn't make $40m. Those were savings passed on largely to consumers. The battery pack did make like $16m in profit so the payback period is more like 5 years not 18 months.
Netscape sucked. A lot. Everybody talks about 'standards' but Netscape was as guilty of being non-standards based as IE at the time. In fact a lot of the DHTML stuff that IE pioneered ended up forming the basis of quite a few technologies.
Also I'm just going to point out that CSS Box mode from IE is making a large resurgence because it was always arguably the more sane model.
IE vs Firefox or Opera was a completely different landscape than IE vs Netscape. IE vs Netscape was two incredibly proprietary non-standard browsers competing in the wild west. I switched to IE not because it was bundled but because I was so fed up with Netscape's poor technology.
Once it died and was resurrected as firefox while Microsoft abandoned IE development, Firefox started offering compelling technological advantages to switch but at the time Netscape was bad. That's what I think most people forget. They remember the Firefox vs IE days and just back project their memories of Firefox onto Netscape when that was far from the case.
Once an Intel driver has been updated to a Windows Modern Driver, rolling back to the older drivers is a âoecomplex processâ that can result in system instability, particularly in regards to graphics drivers
For this reason, we're not providing the ZIP file for the next several driver releases while users transition to this new Microsoft driver platform.
We're just in a transition period where you could end up with two different driver models conflicting. So we stick to installers so that they can automagically do the necessary house cleaning for the swap. Then once we're on the new driver model go back to standard INF installations if need be.
You're going to provide me a nice storage service on-prem that I can access on an iPhone or Android device with conflict resolution and live cooperative editing between say 10 collaborators? And this service is going to manage sync conflicts? And this service is going to scale instantly? And it'll have a single sign on portal so that I can access said collaborative data share? And when I need to share that data with someone outside of the organization you're going to maintain the registration and securities permission of sharing said document? Also is your data service going to OCR and scan all photos in a project folder? Are you going to let me have federated search on my phone to search the contents of documents on my phone quickly while on a public wifi?
Cloud is much more than a "server run by someone else", it's also "a server that you can lease by the second" and that's a huge shift in how you can look at your infrastructure. Need more database capacity? You don't need to plan ahead days or months and do a cost/benefit projection on whether or not you'll still need that capacity in 6 months, you can add another shard in a couple minutes and stop paying for it just as quickly when demand drops.
You could run a 'private cloud' on your own servers run by you but "Cloud" will still be the distinguishing feature of your cluster. It describes the abstraction of hardware into compute and storage services to your developers and users.
I can rent a server run by someone else and then I can rent 10,000 servers for 1 minute run by someone else and then stop renting 10,000 servers. If you run 10,000 servers you need to justify them taking up space 24/7 for 365 day and pay for them in perpetuity not just when you need them.
I can buy storage by the GB and only pay for the GB that I need when I need it. Delete the file... stop paying. I can utilize a Petabyte for an hour and then delete it and stop paying. If I need a petabyte of storage for an hour I have to build out infrastructure and then find a buyer to sell it to when I'm done.
I can rent server-less processor time by the millisecond. I can instantly scale a back-end web process that charges me $0.0000000000000001 to run with one user and then if I suddenly see 1,000,000 users slashdot my server instantaneously scale up for each additional user with cloud functions.
The future of cloud computing is also server-less. You don't even manage shards or clusters or auto-scale virtual machines. The cloud is just a large shared mainframe that you lease utilization on. In the not too distant future you'll just pay by the query-millisecond and the rows and fields count you're using. You won't spin up virtual machines to process data you'll execute cloud functions which charge you by the millisecond of processor time. There'll be very few dedicated Virtual Machines and containers will contain smaller and smaller services that only run when called.
You plan on running your own 2 factor authentication token system? Good luck keeping it up 100% of the time for 100% of your users across the globe.
Maintaining user authentication systems is pretty challenging. Keeping credentials maintained across phones, tablets, PCs, back end services and internal servers is not a simple service to maintain in house.
How do you propose you "Own" a service which gives you single sign on authentication across your internal network, remote web services and offers 2 factor authentication? That's a lot of fragile infrastructure to maintain.
If WalMart takes a 20% cut for distribution on a $60 game that's $12/game WalMart makes. If you buy 6 games over the life of the console they pocket an extra $72.
Oh the irony of a group who has a core political tenant of protecting a corporation's ability to fire people for no reason and lambasts 'snow flakes' for seeking protected-group status complaining that they deserve to be protected.
You know, not something like your gender, sexual orientation or race... something you're born with. No Republicans believe the only protected class for firing should be your political belief that being trans or a woman shouldn't offer you any protection.

Airbnb probably aren't even obliged to do anything either... they just choose to do so to as a goodwill gesture to limit the bad press.

HandJoob and WetBoobs are just people's overactive imaginations choosing to see things that aren't there? Seriously?

Bird strikes are the best proxy for the threat to airliners and bird strikes are mostly just an issue if you hit many birds.
color space and dynamic range are closely tied

Some do. It's a good simple solution.
People are petitioning Tesla to implement that in their smartphone app\key.
You missed the part where the rich folk sees that it's not a real emergency vehicle, disengages self driving and calls the police.
You missed a third thing:

Universal drivers are distributed through Windows Update
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-...
Or you could read the fucking article and see that there is a download link on Intel's website.
https://downloadcenter.intel.c...
Oh no Microsoft is doing something, time to shit your pants in terror!
we invariably have people whose drivers have been replaced by these supposedly universal drivers.
Wow, sounds like you've had a lot of problems in the last 4-5 days of these universal drivers existing. It sounds like it feels like years to you!
