From my understanding, the Pi can only play h.264 (if licensed), and MPEG 2 (if licensed). Any other codec and it pretty much dies because the processor isn't capable of decoding the stream fast enough. h.264 and MPEG 2 only work because it is done in hardware.
About 700 crashes per 100 million miles or ~1 crash every 142,000 miles. Google has already doubled that, but yes, so far it isn't enough for a good confidence level, yet.
It used to be legal to drive without insurance, but you had to have it notarized that you had liquid assets equal to the minimum coverage. Someone got a bug up their ass about how it was unfair the rich didn't have to pay for car insurance, and that went away. Pretty sure it still sits that way today, at least in Illinois.
But when your friend gets into an accident, and you carry only the minimum required insurance, and his expenses exceed those coverages, first the insurance will pay, THEN your friend will be sued for the remainder.
That is already a law in Illinois, the police just don't enforce it very often. I've never heard of anyone getting written up for it. I have heard of it in California, however.
Obstructing traffic by driving too slow is a ticketable offense, at least in the state of WA. If you're driving below the speed limit and there are people behind you, you are legally obligated to pull over and let them pass.
Obstructing traffic by driving too slow is a ticketable offense, at least in the state of IL. If you're driving... and there are people behind you, you are legally obligated to pull over and let them pass. Doesn't matter if you are already doing 100 over the speed limit, you must still move over.
And the alternative is to trust all the soccer moms, beating her kids in the backseat while holding a starbuck's coffee between her legs and putting on makeup, isn't going to rear end you or sideswipe you at 65 mph in the large SUV their husband's bought them because they are terrible drivers.. I mean to keep them safe.
Not everyone needs to have one to see the improvement in efficiency, just convert the left lane to autonomous cars only and you'll see it rather quickly. If buying an autonomous car allowed me to get to work faster AND I could work while traveling to/from there (or just either of those two), I would buy one in a heartbeat.
The big scandal was actually pretty minor in the big scheme of things. Owning a "defective" toyota doubled your chances of an accident from the norm. There were actually very very few incidents, and was rectified, eventually.
BTW, my car is also a drive by wire car. Doesn't bother me.
I don't see how rendering a web page can be fully parallelized.
Parsing and reflow can be efficiently parallelized if sufficient parents have their heights determined by something other than their contents, for example, say the if the main parts of the documents have heights explicitly defined. Then they can be processed in parallel efficiently. Even without that, couldn't the children each be processed in parallel for a good portion of them, but possibly needing updating for properties that have dependencies outside of themselves? Yes, floats can cause some issues, but I rarely use them, and absolutely never without a direct parent that limits that problem anyhow (overflow:hidden). As such, the parent with overflow:hidden, and given a specific size wouldn't affect the following siblings no matter what floats the children did and can safely be done in parallel.
I don't see how the DEFLATE codec used by, say, PNG can be parallelized.
There are multiple ways to implement the deflate codec, some compress better than others on different source materials. The best implementations would try multiple variants in parallel and discard all but the best result. For current examples, running PNGOUT, OptiPNG, and DeflOPT in parallel for each PNG and discard the other two, but better approaches trying more variants for even better (albeit less) results are possible and likely to produce even smaller results.
Add in a wifi module, and the developer kits for your mobiles, and learn to program your mobile, write a web service, and the arduino/pi with it's limited C subset (and the module quirks). So for $200 + those, you've saved what over the $300 nest?
I didn't say China was scary, but.. nevermind take it how you will. I just stating that you should underestimate China is all. All things considered, China is a fairly peaceful country (in comparison to what they could be, or others as powerful as they are/could be).
Specifically replaying to "The same goes for China. Industrially, they're getting to where the US was in the mid-1800s. Their space technology is in the 1950s, and early 1960s. Socially, they're pre-1750s in many ways. Militarily, they're in the 1910s, at best." which is so wrong that the AC that made it is obviously a child.
You forgot these possibilities: 5) The NSA did nothing wrong, and no one noticed it. 6) The NSA did nothing wrong, and someone made shit up. 7) The NSA did nothing wrong, and no one reported it. 8) The NSA did nothing wrong, and people reported it, but nothing changed. 9) The NSA did nothing wrong, someone noticed it, and it changed. 10) The NSA did nothing wrong, someone noticed it, someone was about to report it but died in a car accident, and nothing changed. 11) The NSA did nothing wrong, someone noticed it, someone was about to report it but died in a car accident, and it changed. 12) The NSA did what every other government agency in the world does and a self-entitled righteous asshole noticed it and reported it because he was mad that his coworkers laughed at his homosexual advances.
There's a few hundred dozen more possible scenarios, but I have work to do, and I'm pretty sure I know which one is the closest to the truth.
I'm am an American, and as such, there are very few countries that I believe than in an all out war could rival us. China, is one of them. If you think otherwise, you are fooling yourself. Their technology is behind ours, but not so much that if they decided to switch their large manufacturing base (and resources) to such an en devour, it would be scary just how quickly they could out number us. Especially if either they attack first knocking out a large portion of our forces, or building in enough back doors to effectively cripple a significant portion.
They already outnumber us 4:1 population wise. You want scary? Give them a reason and a mission to motivate them.
Yes, the 8-bits loaded fast, unless you had a hard drive. That usually required a custom OS/DOS to be loaded and initialized from the hard drive too. I forget what the name of the apple 2's was. The Ataris 8-bits had RDOS/QDOS or equivalent.
The Atari STs had it in ROM, so booting took 10-15 seconds unless you wanted to boot a custom OS, and then it was just only twice as fast as the Amiga (OS was less than half the size and actually fit on one floppy).
Yes, they are. They suggested they would have paid 2.8m for their 10k in desktops. That's $280/desktop. As the GP suggested, it is actually closer to $35/desktop for licenses, nearly 1/8th the cost Munich put forth.

Pedestrians and bicycles aren't legal to be on the highways. Motorcycles only if they are able to safely drive the minimum speed limit.

You have an odd sense of risk.

He will let us know when he can again.

There isn't a 14nm fab (or better) outside the US, currently so I call BS.

I think your memory is failing you. The Amiga took forever to boot, but then so did all computers back then sans the Atari ST.
I've gotten a ticket for excessive wheel spin, but that's Illinois.
