Seems like a net benefit for Spotify, currently you're costing them money on bandwidth and streaming fees, if you stop using their site you'll cost them nothing.
Is it ethical for Apple or its customers to expect outsiders to spend hundreds or thousands of man hours finding bugs in their software for free? Apple is certainly rich enough to either pay bounties or to hire an army of security researchers to test their products.
The distinction is likely the amount of time invested. I would hazard you stumbled across them or find them via some minor poking which is distinctly different from today where researchers are writing complex software and spending inordinate amounts of time.
Of course the clear answer would be if you're looking to get paid not to bother with vendors that won't compensate you for the time invested.
This is exactly what's supposed to happen. Over time, mining *new* coins gets more expensive. Of the coins mined, I'm pretty sure a very small percentage were from this year. The many others that were mined earlier for much less cost still "exist" in the sense that bitcoin is "found" when mined.
The system is working exactly as intended, nothing more to see here.
As I suspect you well know, that isn't the entirety of what was supposed to happen. Bitcoin was also designed to be deflationary, the value of a bitcoin was meant to increase along with the difficulty. Since the two have been disconnected for some time that doesn't exactly sound like a system working as intended to me.
Java has an update checker, but I would imagine the majority of desktop applications built on Java bundle the JRE. Servers don't it changing and lock it down.
But Java has been dying for years. Applets died a long time ago. JSP and Servlets are pretty much dead in favor of using a JavaScript front-end and a proper application back-end.
Servlets are long from dead.
JDBC will continue to hold java for a number of years
Ah, I see now. You really have no idea you're talking about. JDBC is an API Java applications use to talk to databases, so somehow it will keep Java going is strange....
I always thought it would be funny to edit that stupid video he did a couple years back about how you can still post to instagram after net neutrality was ended to add pauses for buffering and to periodically degrade the video quality to a very low bitrate.
Its actually why these games when done properly (which this wasn't, and I pointed this out on the cheerleading article) are meaningful, the point of these is to eventually have a use in the real world. The real world is full of warts, an example might be using an AI for airport security (which has been talked about) but people don't walk around an airport with beacons indicating their precise location at all times, a system monitoring it would need to cope with weird camera angles, blind spots, etc.
Its perfect knowledge for the player - note I did not say it saw through the fog of war. If a unit peeks through the fog for a moment when a human does not have the viewport at that part of the map AlphaStar knows every detail but the human does not. AlphaStar is able to be aware of what all units are doing at all times, Hence perfect knowledge.
Notice how we suddenly have multiple articles at the same time about how Apple is great for the economy and how they couldn't possibly manufacture here. The source of these articles couldn't possibly be a PR campaign from Apple about how they're an important US company who contributes domestically despite how hard it is.
Much like the dota bot from last year AlphaStar is effectively cheating as it is aware of the entire map at once, not restricted to the viewport as humans are. These are only really a novelty until they start operating on imperfect knowledge and imperfect inputs as humans are (even if it was arbitrarily limited on reaction speed).
Sounds like author had a deadline and came up with a flimsy story, that or they have some fundamental misunderstanding about AWS and think that it builds some profile about you.

Doesn't that indicate the 'AI' is unnecessary because the spam filter algorithm has always just worked :)

By your logic isn't it their website? :p
Unfortunately this now includes what feels like 90% of major sites on the internet.
I don't think most people here would consider gifs or swapping images as video.

Containers are entirely orthogonal to the JVM.
He's right actually, there haven't been new large scale applications written for desktops in a long time.
This is far from the truth, though you should never have any browser plugin from anything.
FYI web browsers already include code that parses the HTML before showing it to the user and doesn't use magic to extract URLs & download scripts.

So what you're saying is - if the site existed 10-years ago they'd think Ruby was the king of the world.

Sounds more like the owner of the horse put square tires on the car and claimed victory.
Has anyone ever heard of it before the post on Slashdot? Its not like this was Tiobe whom we've seen around forever.
Yea, I own my last name as a domain but only use it for email.
