Oh, get over yourselves with the flamebait moderation on this post. I have suffered with chronic insomnia for between three and four decades, but you know what? I can still tell a joke when I see one. Parent post didn't deserve the downvote, just s quiet chuckle or a roll of the eyes.
Yep, this whole thing is BS. There's every chance Whole Foods just became more *expensive*, but because they only checked the handful of items Amazon hyped lower prices on, of *course* we get told "Yes, they're really cheaper." Lazy journalism abounds, today.
And it's because they don't actually make that, Subaru does. The entire mechanical design is Subaru, as is most of the engine and interior. Toyota just contributed the fuel injection system, external styling and the laughably outdated, 1980s red LED clock.
Translation: "I saw an opinion that wouldn't fit in my safe space, so I ran away from my standard Republican-leaning news source to an alt-right-leaning news source." There's nothing liberal about the WSJ, as even a cursory glance at their editorials will reveal.
Not hurting yet, perhaps, but over time they'll find the same thing that others who've tried this have. Once you take away that first free dose, the rest of the product feels less valuable because you can't really see what you're getting. Those who subscribed before the policy will eventually age out of the system, and that churn won't be replaced by as many new customers.
It'll take a while, but eventually they'll go back on this. Wait and see.
Bullshit. Every editorial I've read there in the last couple of years has had a strong conservative slant, just as you'd expect of a newspaper aimed predominantly at rich people (and poor people who think they're going to become rich people).
Or maybe, Tesla actually has real problems it needs to resolve, but you're dismissing those concerns because standard Slashdot practice is to fellate Mr. Musk at all times, no matter how utterly absurd the idea. (See: Hyperloop.)
The big issue isn't the question of who to shoot (what's it matter if you take a while to get them, so long as you get the right people?). It's also not "How can we stop the tools being misused", because the simple truth is that we can't, and that they'll get their hands on tools like this even if we don't pass this moronically-named act.
The real concern is that we're trusting big business to use this appropriately. I can guarantee that it won't. The RIAA and MPAA are probably wetting their pants in anticipation of this so they can start hacking internet users to get their identity and extort money out of them, for example. I'm sure they can manufacture some evidence that they were "hacked first". Companies will also be using it against each other. (Microsoft: "No, honest guv. We saw a hacking attempt from both Google and Amazon simultaneously, with an assist from Apple too. We totally had to hack them back. It's just a coincidence that our subsequent product launches seemed almost to have anticipated our competitors' products." Etc., etc.
Big business can't even be trusted with the tools it already has. It sure as hell doesn't need this one too!
Yep, and that was actually one of the simpler schemes. A lot of the copy protection back then relied on having to use feelies, or browse through long texts or lists of stats to answer obscure questions on the subject matter.
It's amazing that a full three-plus decades later, the software industry still hasn't realized the staggering stupidity of inconveniencing or even punishing your paying users for buying the software, in your hopeless goal of even slowing down the pirates.
Mod parent up insightful please, someone. Loads of people talking about tourism here, but very few acknowledging that this will also have a *huge* and negative impact on business travel -- and that's more likely than not going to result in some business going to other countries instead of us, in the long run.
Rubbish. The only ARM native stuff most people will be using will be the OS itself, and whatever apps Microsoft forces us to accept along with it. Third-party apps will remain almost exclusively X86.
is this one: "Everybody in here was paying $7 for ESPN whether they watched or not."
And that's precisely why I will never, ever watch ESPN, nor any sport it signs a deal with -- even if they subsequently leave ESPN. I've lived in the USA for a bit over 18 years now, and paid for cable or satellite TV for all of that time. Let's assume that $7 figure applies for the whole of that time, and does so in 2017 dollars (so in then-dollars it was some much lower sum). I think that's a pretty safe assumption, and it says I've personally paid US$6,700+ into the pockets of ESPN and its affiliated sports, yet I've watched maybe between five and ten minutes of ESPN in the last couple of decades. At around US$900/minute, that's hands-down the most expensive entertainment of my life.
And it's also why I will never renew my cable or satellite TV subscription until a la carte is a thing. Nor will I sign up for any online service which doesn't either offer a la carte options, or which focuses solely on programming *I* am interested in. The likes of YouTube TV et al. which simply carry over these awful deals into the internet age hold no interest for me.
Unfortunately, it's running full Windows 10 which is a turn-off for many of us. Also, what's the performance like for the emulated stuff? Performance of the ARM stuff is meaningless, really. Basically all you'll be using is emulated x86 stuff because nobody is going to make ARM apps for Win10. Did we not learn anything from Windows RT???
Wait, you say Android is "so shitty", and yet also that Apple just makes "fashion statements"... Ladies and gents, over here, come quick now! We've found the rare Windows Phone user in its natural environment!! Look quickly, folks, while the looking's good. They never scuttle out from under their rock for long, for fear the sunlight will melt them!
When they say "updates are still coming", what they mean is "Yeah, we both know updates aren't coming, but we'd still rather you keep using our browser to keep our stats up for as long as possible."
No, what we actually learned is that when you ask an ignorant question and then interpret the answer out of context, you get a meaningless result. Surgery requires extreme manual dexterity, an area in which robots designed for specific tasks clearly outperform humans. Surgery doesn't provide an obvious opportunity to steal from you, however. Giving a robot access to your savings, though, gives it a very clear and obvious opportunity to quietly steal from you, using its strengths at dealing with vast volumes of information to carefully conceal the act.

Let me fetch my tiny violin for that bastion of biased Republican reportage, shall I?

People expecting to find Target became one.

What does that have to do with my point?

Yes, brain fart and I typed it into the calculator as weeks because my mind was somewhere else. Thanks for the correction.
Translation: There will be a performance penalty for nearly everything you want to do. It won't be massive, but it will be there.

How's that solve anything if the stuff which everybody will want to use is all emulated and not native?

All that says is pot is more commonly consumed, which it unquestionably is, probably by an order of magnitude or more.
Exactly. Maguire is either being disingenuous, or he's just exceptionally out of touch with the general public.
