I read this more as - make sure you really are ready to retire in the near term. You don't want to tell your employer you're thinking about retiring in a hand-wavy 2-3 years and part-way through realize that isn't true, or to have your employer prematurely squeeze you out.
B) AR is much different than VR, simply because you can really see your surroundings with a computer overlay. That makes it far more practical to use for most people as they don't have to clear out a giant empty space for it in order to move, and potentially movement could be unlimited. The best AR systems can "see" your environment so they can skin anything around you to complete the illusion you are somewhere else, so for instance your entire house could become a zombie-hunting scenario with zombies behind random doors... much cooler than a VR scenario where you are just exploring without touch a pre-baked environment.
While I agree that AR is different than VR, I think that its actually much less useful for individuals. Attempting to create a game that interacts with the environment makes it difficult or impossible to tell a story, plus your personal experience will have had no play testing. You also still need to clear a space since anything overlayed on reality will prevent you from observing hazards.
For corporations there is potential for instruction, renovation or hands free computing but otherwise VR seems to have more applications.
Apple is avoiding issues with its poorly designed / sourced batteries by reducing performance of their phones so that customers don't get their phones replaced under warranty.
Obviously VW intentionally breaking the N0x rules is worse than incompetent engineering or inept manufacturing, but a potential fix for the emissions would have had a negative effect on the performance of the car that the customer was sold.
Did the iphone users by cheap chinese batteries on ebay? No? oh so putting shitty fuel in your car and having issues is in no way germane to the discussion.
Yea, when the story was submitted I started reading it, then skimmed it and it seemed like a puff piece with no more idea about what Magic Leap is doing than before. The only thing I did find out is they managed to make goggles that look even more dorky than any existing AR/VR headset.
Experience suggests that shared libraries don't work either, I can't count the number of times dependencies have been updated breaking applications or resulting in flaky behaviour.
The reasoning behind this move, which if you think about it was inevitable, is the reason why I still think all cars being put electric is infeasible. You simply CANNOT have enough fast chargers around to reasonably accommodate everyone who needs to fuel up in a day.
I think that there is a valley where there are too many electric cars for chargers, but not enough of the market has switched to have a huge push for ubiquitous chargers.
There is also an issue where people don't move their cars after charging (because no one wants to hang around 30-minutes) that will only get worse, even at for-pay chargers. I imagine in the future you aren't charged by energy, but by time instead.
Yep, in an odd twist we do require that cable, fibre and phone line networks be made available wholesale.
Personally I'd like them to prevent network infrastructure operators from offering services to end users. Then we could have infrastructure companies competing with each other and service companies competing.
The point is that this used to be a place where there'd be stories about linux kernel changes, now we're mostly seeing stories from gadget blogs and typical silicon valley stories about shitty startups.
This argument doesn't make any sense at all - acting as a monopoly your ISP will either only allow their own service, or they will charge a fee which would further entrench established companies who can afford to pay a fee.
I think the 6p is simply faulty engineering on the part of Huawei, it isn't something we've seen from other manufacturers. More likely Apple is doing this as suggested in the article to fake the battery life and avoid users utilizing applecare for a replacement.
I doubt we've gotten faster or stronger over the past 100-years, one assumes improvements aren't genetic and are as a result of actual science applied to sport instead of old wives tales.
There is also the issue of numbers, the bigger the population the more likely we have individuals physically capable of doing it, e.g. Usain Bolt pushed the 100m records significantly. That said for many sports including running and high jump one wonders how big of an impact equipment has had on the records.
Yes but this is the yearly total downloads (I'm assuming new installs), I'm suggesting most of the installs of the most used applications happened before 2017.

Holy Apple white knight, nice strawman you have there. Did anyone laud Samsung here? No?
Its not unreasonable to expect your device to last more than 1-year before the manufacturer degrades it to hide defective design.

obviously.
Google "vw TDI scandal" since you've apparently been living under a rock and have no idea whats being referred to.
In many (all?) places they were forced to buy back the cars at a pretty high value.
By that logic VW should have been allowed to degrade performance on their TDI engines and not offer customers any compensation.

Nope, provincial governments put the gift card law in, but federal government regulates the telcos.
because Bitcoin was a currency for Silk Road....

Oh and since everything else on and around the plant has its value determined in "fiat currency" not fixed to bitcoin...

My thought also. I guess maybe its less suspicious if its some hp/synaptic signed code?
*know the corner-cases better*. in other words, they know *exactly* why it doesn't work and won't work
Except that the people who know the most are unarguably the distro maintainers and they've chosen to adopt and develop systemd.
Its not the Slashdot point of view, its a vocal minority. Personally I trust the developers at Red Hat more than random posters.

True, but its used in a different context. Maybe a better example would be Word?
