Apple effed up as well. They were the ones that gave the info to the police. If it were me, that would be the last Apple product that I would ever buy.
Pretty much the same story for me, but I was using virgin soy biodiesel as that's what I could get locally. The fuel pump died, I spent 1000$ and that was pretty much it.
I don't know the cause of the fuel pump problems - never took it apart to diagnose or anything.
All of this biomass isn't terribly energy dense, and a good chunk of the mass is water which you don't really want. So you spend a lot of time, effort and energy collecting it and transporting it to a central location where it can be processed.
Do you know what kind of equipment is required to reach 20 millikelvin? Because I do.
For the work I did years ago, I only went to 1.8K, going further most likely means a dilution refrigerator, all in a cryostat with assorted vacuum pumps and a supply of instrumentation and cryogenic fluids. I haven't priced any of this stuff in many years, but even back in the day none of that stuff was cheap.
The first thing that jumps into my mind is rows and rows of rackmounted servers - hosting either databases, websites, or virtual machines. And the rackmounted chassis that I have looked at (admittedly on the old side) don't have a power supply capable of supplying the juice required for many of the modern GTX video cards, and it isn't obvious to me that the fans in the case are capable of removing all of the heat that these types of video cards generate.
That isn't to say that it can't be done of course - there are ways to satisfy the power requirements for people who really want to go down this road. Getting the heat removed could be a different matter however.
The blockchain exception is an odd one - what difference does that really make what type of work they are doing?
IA64 in many ways was a very elegant architecture, but to really get the best performance out of it, one demands a lot of the compilers, as it is their job to do the optimizations.
The thing that really doomed IA64 was poor performance of x86 emulation. And while all this talk of alternate on architectures is a trip down memory lane, you *know* that x86 emulation is going to be one of the first things that people ask about.
I can't help but wonder if this is only because they haven't found much in the kernel address space. If on could find hashed passwords for local accounts, it might cause people to reconsider..
For me Android pay is now unusable. For some reason the Marshmallow update causes the phone to hound me for the administrative password before it will let the transaction go through. All kinds of people complain about it, and as far as I know nobody has ever gotten any kind of a straight answer as to why or what it takes to fix this.
For the most part I just use cash for small transactions.
or any of the other app-du-jour. That's a start. A lot of the "information" is so low-grade that it isn't worth bothering with.
It reminds me of an old joke. Someone commented that the rate at which the library shelf space required to hold scientific journals may soon exceed the speed of light. But it wouldn't violate the theory of relativity because no information was being exchanged.
When I was a kid, I was in a rural area and we only had one. If it wasn't NBC, we didn't get it.
My first school didn't have indoor plumbing. There was a hand-pump out in the yard, and outhouses way in back.
It is the same here. The white meat is what tastes like cardboard. The darker meat tastes much better, but people for whatever reason pick the white meat.
When the turkey is just out of the oven, the white meat isn't quite so bad. When you are eating the leftovers it really gets try. You have to put something - gravy, or crandberry sauce on the thing to make it palatable. The darker meat still tastes good when eating leftovers.
The problem is that they are being squeezed by the content providers on the other end. You want to carry the XYZ channel? That will cost you more per subscriber now. So to a degree, the cable companies are caught in the middle.
I would like to see someone offer a-la-carte without all kinds of expensive junk being added on.

New version of "Moore's Law".

Because it doesn't now. The Marshmallow update broke the thing so I just pay cash or use an EMV card.

Just 3-d print the things.

It would be cheaper to just launch a GoPro to that same altitude, and then release it with a small parachute. But the guy seems to have a death wish.
I have PasswordSafe installed on my phone, and together with the Yubikey I can access my passwords whenever I like.
Cats aren't dumb. They just don't give a shit.
Was when I was in high school - made a few extra bucks doing keypunch. Tedious as hell.

I prefer a manual transmission. They are hard (but not impossible) to find these days. I am stuck with an auto for the time being however.
The "delicious" apple is another example of this. It looks good but tastes awful.

If they cannot give up control then ending the merger was the right thing to do.
