Email is a mature technology. Thunderbird does not need a new UI. It does not need changes to keep up with email technology.
I concur. What they do need changes for is to demonstrate that the coders are earning their pay. This is what has forced the Australian government's Centrelink website to evolve into the hideous, bloated, creeping-featuritis-ised animated icon jangling ipad-optimised pachinko parlor of a video game, rather than, you know, a government website. It looks like it was designed by eight-year-olds on a sugar high.
I'm not sure what features there really are to add to a simple IMAP/POP client.
Another calendar. A Task / event manager (which is the same thing). A social media integrator. Another chat client that requires you to log in and complains when you don't. An activity manager. A developer toolbox. An pseudo-AI emoji insertion tool that forces the damn things into your messages and which takes half an hour figure out how to turn off. A whole bunch of things that should be optional but which are now built in, take up screen or menu real estate and which you never use.
What they won't include is a simple tool for saving your settings and restoring them, which, the last time I had to do - about two months ago - required locating the cache file, copying the contents, installing the client on a new machine, locating the new cache directory and copying the old contents over the top of the new ones and hoping this Dr. Benway style of brain surgery actually worked. Yes, you can export your settings - but it will only export them to other mail program formats, and can only import from those.
It's a way of measuring the desperation of the Wired editors. In their latest clawing attempt to get attention and possibly advertising revenue, they're poking at Elon Musk to determine how far they can push him. Just like those assholes at work who keep playing increasingly violent practical jokes - yeah, we set fire to your head, ha ha ha ha, isn't that hilarious? Are you mad yet?
I stopped paying serious attention to Wired when the paper version became less than one third its original weight after you ripped out all the advertisement pages.
I came across an extremely simple skin detection algorithm some time ago and made a GLSL implementation... It is actually quite robust if the lighting conditions of the scene don't change too much.
How robust is it if the subject is clad from head to toe in black latex?
As for deserts, google image search "sexy iceberg".
Amazon should be leading the way into sustainable packaging, even multi use returnable packaging.
How about a robot whose hands end in cups, like the two halves of a coconut? Detachable, many different sizes and foam-lined interior configurations available. The robot goes to the warehouse, picks up the item, locks the cups together, then rolls to a bus which delivers it to your door. The robot trundles up to your door and then sends you a text message, and hands the item right to you.
I don't think that's much more complicated than "ship something in the wrong packaging, it gets damaged, return it and ship another one until one arrives unbroken".
And if you combine that with the tendency of Walmart to attract people who go shopping in their pyjamas, or underwear, and who have no problems with relieving themselves in the aisles.. as Opportunist pointed out above, this is going to make.. interesting television, if nothing else.
Does anyone remember the author, and name, of a science fiction story about an asteroid named "Pomona Negra", or "Black Apple", which had inexplicably turned red, and was found to be coated with a form of life that kept growing, and spread to the boots of the crew sent to investigate and eventually to the lunar base they returned to?
Evolution is about adaptation to a changing environment.
"Progress" has no part in any of it - what does that word even mean? That word implies a goal (how else can you make progress if not towards some goal).
for living things in a universe full of dead things, it means putting as much distance between the former and the latter as possible, using any means available. intelligence is a good one - you may have heard of it.
"Well, you see, that form is actually an instance of a subclass that inherits from that object which can be stored into that templated array thanks to polymorphism", then no more question from the non-programmer.
Pretty incredible how calling a DAG a "tangle" and sprinkling in a bunch of other mathy sounding words can net you a 10 billion dollar valuation when your product isn't even functional and there's no evidence to suggest it could ever even work / be viable.
And THIS is the new bubble. Throwing real money into unicorn hunts.

Schwit1; the article linked doesn't mention germs, so why did you?
Thank you.

Ban cryptocurrencies already. Look at the damage they do the environment.
Of COURSE! That's the answer - ban them! Because no bad people would continue to use them once they'd been banned, right?
The resiliency of the power grid would be vastly improved if we put a battery pack (the size of a normal intermodal container) at each substation.

For added fun, you can MITM all TLS connections over the data network and block anything that you can't MITM.
For extra added fun you can call them during the day and make their asses vibrate, assuming that's where the phones are hidden.
i mean how small do these people think the earth is.. they know we're not living on King Kai's planet from Dragon Ball Z right?
(Rolls eyes) Well, obviously. It's an established fact that King Kai's world was blown up by Perfect Cell.
Anyway, a little consideration for us upside-down Australians who have to hold the ocean up every day!

No.
