You mean, like the people in Bangkok who are feeling the problem of sea level rise every day (of course, they're also doing it to themselves due to over pumping of ground water)? Even if they stopped pumping water, that 2.5mm/year is still going to drown them very soon. Then again, I'm guessing they're all just "selfish self-centered coastal living fucks that have no sense of scale", and are all above the poverty line...oh wait....
Given healthcare costs going up due in part from pollution, we just need to slap these costs onto radiation/toxic gas/sludge/CO2 producing coal fire plants and you'll see those figures fly right up. I don't think we even need to get to carbon taxes before these coal plant operators go belly up.
I don't know, but I thought most left-leaning people in the US aren't against gen4 or above anymore? Furthermore, I think the argument against nukes are more nuanced -- most people aren't against nukes...they're against crappy nuke constructions, like Fukushima. But because they don't have any way of controlling the construction process, they go for the outright banning action.
I also do find it interesting that the Tea Party has slightly better scientific understanding than the average non-Tea Party-er. But given more data from this link, it seems to me that non-Tea Party Republicans are the true scientific illiterate population (not only do they have to lower their own average, they have to also be low enough to drag down the positive contribution of the Tea Party members).
You should really reread the post of the person you're responding to. Let me put it in a simple way: the coaching schools explicitly paid more to show their ads when is a male on the other end. That or others (non-coaching service) paid more to show their advertisements when it's a female on the other end.
No thanks. I don't want a VM that has mandatory built-in GC and a bunch of other nonsensical limitations. Provide me one which I can allocate and commit virtualized memory and a safe method for system access with all the facilities/opcodes of an ideal modern multi-core processor.
Do people not also see the connection between increases in privacy breeches and global warming? Exactly. Correlation != causation, otherwise we better stop going to see the doctors.
I think it's the other way around -- people are moving to the cloud because they see themselves as bigger targets and can't adequately protect their own systems compared to another company who spends billions hardening theirs. If the hackers can spend 2 seconds breaking into your system vs taking 2 years to penetrate Google's, I'm pretty sure they're going to infiltrate 500k servers like yours instead of bothering with Google's. This is probably also why CaaS is the big new thing now.
Nowhere did Google or its representative say it's "bad parenting". Google is being asked one question "why are there much less females in tech?", and they're trying to answer that very question. Agreeing values or not has nothing to do with it.
I don't know why you're attributing this. One of the leading firms for 3D stacking is Tezzaron, and they've been around for more than a decade. You can give credit to AMD for taking on the risk of 3D memory, but not for innovating it -- other companies did most of that work.
Yes yes, I know your type. The ones that say "don't use anything the system was designed to be used, and only do things as if you're working in C". I.e. don't allocate all the time, don't modify the structure of the object after construction, make types easier to infer for JIT, etc.... That, or maybe you have 0 clue about what performance really means.
So your example of a "well done app" is a game that hardly uses any HTML5/CSS, and is all computation (which, given FFOS, I'm pretty sure is asm.js under the hood). I don't see how your example shows that web standards are actually uniformly implemented across browsers.
Except:
1) Mobile CPU/GPU is still 50X slower than desktop (i.e. your CSS transitions are 50X slower...hardware acceleration included).
2) Mobile RAM allowance is still 10X lower than desktop (i.e. less resources loaded, prefetching, more thrashing, less JITed code, less unboxing, etc...).
3) No native look and feel, so everything seems out of place.
4) Still takes 3 years to get anything through the JS committee, and god knows how long before browser adoption.
5) Users still can feel latency even if backend is optimized (queue post about X% drop in latency equates to Y% increase in app usage/engagement).
6) Did you know that FB was originally all HTML5 on mobile? Did you know solely because of that decision, they were at most two quarters away from going belly up -- until they shipped their mobile app which turned everything around?
The fact that you brought up desktop being your primary client goes to show how little regard you have for the problems on the mobile platform.
MS isn't licensing their OS? Then how did it get on Nokia (before they were acquired) and Asus phones? Were these manufacturers contracted, yet they retained their names on the devices?
Really? Tiny? You mean, like the 1B-people-in-China tiny? I guess the Chinese population is nothing more than a rounding error. That and you can't get XiaoMi here without preloaded Google apps, right?
The problem why people are disagreeing with you is precisely because you're failing at marketing yourself.
Yes, the revenues can fit an exponential curve (from inception to now). No, T==1, and is not being varied. But also, yes, costs also fit an exponential curve (except it's not being labelled as such). What you're arguing is the selective use of "exponential" to emphasize revenues over expenses, and you're not making THAT point clear. But this is also precisely why financial analysts care about things like return on equity, profit margin, net profit, net profit per share, etc.
If IBM is so full of deadwood that they need to get rid of them, then that means there is probably deadwood everywhere. And if anything, there's one thing we know for certain: deadwood is very apt at keeping only deadwood around (read: nepotism, drinking buddies, you-are-one-of-us, etc).
I have more trouble recalling than remembering -- most of the time, I can recall "forgotten" events if someone provides context (as in, I haven't actually forgotten them). That or maybe my brain is making shit up.

If Alphabet/Google has its way, you can scratch out the last two lines -- you won't have to get old or die.
I think it's still just a simple matter of people still thinking of Alphabet as "Google".

No thanks. Why jump through hoops for direct memory access on a JVM when one can just embed the JVM on top of WebAssembly?
No thanks. I don't want a VM that has mandatory built-in GC and a bunch of other nonsensical limitations. Provide me one which I can allocate and commit virtualized memory and a safe method for system access with all the facilities/opcodes of an ideal modern multi-core processor.

If we don't have more than two children per couple, the human race would've died out a long time ago.

When people start misapplying gender equality to inappropriate topic tests this publicly, one has got to wonder if the topic has become a new fad.
Ex-CEO, sure. But who cares about details/nuances? This is /. afterall.
So what you're saying is, it was a good thing that Google dropped the service so others can improve the tech and make money out of it, right?
Have you been to the water cooler during the work day?
