A lot of the flat earthers I've met are really just trolling other people.
If the number of "believers" is going up then it might be that the number of critical thinkers is going up.
On the other hand it could also be that I don't hang round with the other end of the spectrum and it really is the number of idiots that's going online to confirm their beliefs that's going up.
Windows also runs a lot of software that is Windows/Mac only. Visual Studio, Adobe products, Autodesk products. Then there are games (and game dev toolkits). There are also numerous internal apps.
True, but hardly any of that is compiled for ARM processors.
Yes, it might run under an x86 emulator, but would you really want to? It's already going to be incredibly slow because it runs off an SD card, adding emulation as an extra layer would be borderline masochistic.
This might be useful if you want a familiar Windows user interface while surfing the web but not much more.
That the greens have predicted. I never thought you could do worse than economists and still be called a science. Maybe they should change their name to climate studies and be moved in with the gender studies people.
Yeah because: a) Sea level rise is the only problem caused by global warming, and b) This new paper couldn't possibly be wrong.
Remember: They spent a decade making sure nobody could use anything but Internet Explorer, making business software use IE+AcitiveX plugins for everything, and now this.
Blockchains depend on 'work' for authentication. If you can do more work than the work that was done to sign a document then blockchain is useless. Bitcoin works because nobody has enough computing power to beat the system.
How much computing power was dedicated to this shipment of oranges? How much computing power could possibly be dedicated to the hundreds of millions of shipments that happen every single day? Nowhere near enough, that's how much.
This whole thing is a sham, just marketing people playing with buzzwords.
Stop living in a utopia where humans are all perfect.
So long as the cars of any given manufacturer are statistically at least as safe as human drivers then there should be no liability under law.
The way things are going right now we're almost ready to make autopilot systems mandatory on highways/freeways/autobahns/whatever-they're-called-in-your-country.

This is solely on Congress. They pass and modify the tax laws...
The fatal flaw in this plan is that Amazon can buy a chunk of "Congress" for a few million dollars.

Refusing to buy from China will just make the people living there even poorer, it won't change their government.
Dude, it's Android: you can choose any one of zero security patches provided by your OEM.
I get regular patches for mine (Xioami Mix).
To say this is the fault of C and C++ is disingenuous.
Read the slides from the talk. They specifically mention C++ as a problem to be solved. And they're right.
C++ allows you to write safe code, much safer than C.
The probelem is C programmers calling themselves C++ programmers when all they're really doing is using a C++ compiler to write C.
Yep, there's crackpot papers on both sides.
In the middle though? A whole bunch of sensible people with real data.

less than 100% efficiency is still less than 100%
But the energy could come from solar, wind... nighttime use of those nuclear reactors we ought to be building.
(given that electricity storage is difficult, could this process make nuclear reactors more profitable?)
Yep, the real solution is to change the Internet so that VPNs aren't needed.
Yep, it would be soooooo simple to solve this that way.
I wonder why they haven't done it yet.
If only there was a way for the police to use this to their advantage, eg. to herd all the checkpoint-evaders into a trap.

Yeah, right.

One less server tracking your viewing habits?
Good riddance!
Dancing Demon FTW!
Meh.
Demo crews were making animations like that back in the 1990s, on a 66Mhz 486DX2 (with local bus graphics!).
Show me a usage of "chemtrail" which isn't the spraying of the populace with mind-control drugs and I'll accept that.
Super-pedant: Chemtrail is portmanteau of chemical and trail. It literally means a chemical trail.
Words do have meanings and sometimes those meanings are painfully obvious.
So strawberrys are berries made of straw?
Uhuh.
Can it also detect use of Gutter Oil?

Pedant: Words have meanings and "chemical trail" != "chemtrail"
If such collisions are rare, a possible explanation for the Fermi paradox is that life is so rare that we may be the firsrt.
Sure, because it couldn't possibly have existed on the thing that was full of life-giving chemicals that hit The Earth.
I want to know why the chemtrails don't affect the politicians and government officials who are spraying them.
