Sorry, I should have just said this at the start, but HTTPS encryption, not including the set-up handshake (which isn't insignificant), and using a modern cypher, like AES will eat up around 2.5 cores by itself if your data rate is ~1gb/s (and we would exceed that at peak hours). Considering the webserver we had was only a quad-core, that would have been 62.5% of the available CPU time just for HTTPS encryption, or tripling our server costs (and/or the added complexity of requiring converting to a web farm).
With more server-side processing for each page view, the fraction of server CPU time devoted to actually sending the resource to the PC has diminished.
Perhaps it's the sites that you've worked on, but there a vast number that does very little actual per-request dynamic server-side processing. That's pretty much the very first thing you do in creating a scalable website is isolate that from all the other content. Just as an example, the last major site I worked on, all content was cached, and the cache was only invalidated on actual changes, so it was fairly common for only 1 request out of ~1 million to really ever do any server side processing. It wasn't a small site either, at it's peak, it would have 10k concurrent users with pretty rich media assets, so tacking on https encryption overhead to that would have killed the server.
And yes, the site had javascript, and "single pixel" images as well. And it all ran off a single server (well, 1 web server), and it ran well that way.
Then you've never tried to have a server actually scale in the past. The HTTPS negotiation was slower than HTTP, but the actual encryption took valuable server compute resources, and would cause many servers to belly up long before they should. Servers have gotten faster, and the the methods used to do the encryption have gotten a lot better, but if you think it doesn't affect how much a server can scale then you'd be mistaken.
There are solutions today, but none are free, and most aren't "simple".
I think his point is that the $x intel CPU is faster, and uses less power than the equivalent $x CPU from AMD for every value of x. Why did you by AMD?
I was on the grandfathered plan but when you realize that the "Unlimited" plan is really just a 2GB or 3GB plan (they've changed it a couple times), and then throttling down to EDGE speeds the other plans are just cheaper, since this is what their other plans do as well. And "free" unlimited texting (a $20 add-on to the grandfathered plan). And you can hotspot. And unlimited voice. And you can add additional phones for pretty cheap.
There really is no reason to hang on to those grandfathered plans unless you don't text (pretty much at all), or you expect some day the FCC will force AT&T to unthrottle the unlimited plans, and you never need to hotspot.
Then you should start looking, because there is a reason why every other major country (except the middle east/major oil suppliers) are paying 50% to 150% more than we do per gallon of gas.
For gigabit internet, Http://xfinity.com/gig-offer if you live in a city they have rolled it out to, but as I said, you should still be able to get unlimited for an additional $50 on whatever plan you have. Check http://dataplan.xfinity.com/fa...
wolfcrow made a mistake in that blog, of which was pointed out a few times in the comments. A 50" TV seated 6' away @2k only has a dpi of ~38dpi, well shy of the 100dpi required. A 65" TV seated 6' away @4k still only has 67dpi. A 65" TV seated 6' way @8k has 135dpi, which based on his calculations done correctly, would be indistinguishable. Of course that still makes a number of assumptions, like you have average eye sight, and you are sitting 6' away from your TV, eye sight towards the center of the eye isn't more precise (which it is), and your eye can only resolve 0.4arc min, which on his complimentary blog article, two independent sources say 0.2 arc min.

Only the in the USA, and they aren't leveraging (monopoly) power in one sector to gain dominance in another, they are simply throwing money at it, which for the most part is legal even in the USA.
Noone is forcing you to. Just plug in some old rabbit ears to the back of your TV, and get all the free TV you want. Of course, you'll miss out on the shows like Game of Thrones, Vikings, Orange is the new Black, Wentworth, etc that are exclusives, but you can always just subscribe to one service, watch what they have, then cancel and switch to another, rotating every few months. You'll get them all, eventually, if a year or two after they air.
Uh... UTF-8 is Unicode as well. It's just most latin characters only take up 1 byte, while characters from the extended character sets take 2-4 bytes. UTF-16 all characters take 2 bytes (except for a few that take 4).
I've seen the complaints before too, and I don't understand them either, but then again, maybe it's because I'm not buying the $5 bluetooth adapters or the $11 kmart bluetooth headphones.
Anything that directly affects an individuals ability to pursue happiness is very much a federal issue.
Uh no. You may want it to be, but are free to move to a country in which that is the rule. Stop trying to change my country into your lobotomized version.
But, I really question how much these abstract theories are valuable in most jobs that the average joe will get hired in to. A mechanic can fix my car without understanding that he shares a common ancestor with apes. An accountant can give me financial advice without questioning if Idiocracy is the inevitable result of civilized society, etc. A policeman can write me a ticket for speeding, without wondering if he has culled the herd too much and potentially ruined his otherwise sustainable prejudiced tax revenue system for the year. People going in to fairly exclusive and lofty educated professions generally do not have an issue with evolution (or understand it, and can apply it, but keep quiet about their religious doubts), this is purely a madness of the commoner, and one we don't necessarily need to confront him with and worry that he will be left behind.
That may be true if the mechanic will always stay a mechanic for the rest of his life. But when he gets too old to turn a wrench, or too successful and wants to start his own business, then understanding things like supply/demand/taxes/accounting would be pretty helpful. Same thing for the policeman who eventually stops writing tickets and is promoted up to detective. Learning about human nature, motives, basic psychology would be pretty helpful as well. Of course if he gets promoted to sergeant and has to manage finances, and the people who work for him...
I think Mr. J. Alex Halderman, while respected in his field of computer security, should stay there. His expertise isn't on statistics, or statistical analysis, and coming to such conclusions on such flimsy analysis is just bad. Publishing before eliminating even the most rudimentary external factors is just poor form -- assuming he himself isn't biased.
Solved how? How does the cable solve me having to pull my phone out and try and connect a cable every time I get in and out of my car? Bluetooth solves that.

We could even call it HTTP/2.0. Or I guess that is what we called it.

It's actually only an additional $50/month for unlimited bandwidth, or free if you have Comcast Gigabit PRO (2gbps symetrical).
Sorry, fell short of the 120 dpi required, not 100. A 65" 8K TV at 6' is just about right (at 135dpi).

Why? Just attack the 1 inch headphone to lightning adapter on the end of your headphone cable and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
Only if the driver of the autonomous vehicle passes a driver's test, then you'd be correct. But it hasn't.
Of course the autonomous vehicle's driver also isn't insured, so it may be hard to get a license plate as well. Those are the rules after all.

Streams just fine from my Xbox One.
Companies are forced to track each employee and where they live, and what they spend their money on in the EU and the UK? Interesting.

Not sure why you have such a bad time with bluetooth. I suspect it's the equipment you buy rather than the standard itself. I never have an issue.
