To no enter the merit of Electron for UI and JS for virtualization being a good or bad choice, keep in mind that we're talking about 2 layers of SOFTWARE "virtualization" here: one is x86 platform, build on v86.js; which is written in JS, a language that requires a virtual machine to run (not to mention the host OS). Basically the same reason why you need much more resources to run your emulated SNES game than the real hardware.
Difference between this and Theranos is that I hope IBM can give back some invested money. Probably they don't care that much as any day or another we'll see a "Watson AI will solve problem X" news again and people will put money on it again.
But those people never tried to use another language for web development. Usually people will move away from PHP to Python and Ruby, and I never faced any of them who moved back after truly make a project on those languages. The only friend I have defending PHP is the one who never tried other language/framework for real, always saying "it's not the language".
Yes, it is. The core is really a mess, features are moved away and returns, the team making the rules has weak technical skills (search for the reason why namespace uses backslash). You have a dozen of broken/abandoned frameworks trying to mimic Rails/Django, but the better is 10 years away from them. And the worst: the community is really, really weak. Of course, you'll find people to hire asking few buckets, but they'll make you cry.
The way the patent system is in US, any company trying to invent/improve anything without the giants (Facebook, Google, Microsoft) blessing, probably will be sued by them about about any stupid licensed stuff.
So, if we switch all reading material (including websites) to mono spaced fonts, we'll have a 3% increase in reading speed for paragraphs. Wow, just WOW!
The only useful advice is to eat less meat. In most developed countries, mostly in Europe (when trucks carrying only 1 person are not a hit, like in USA), cars are no more the main CO2 emitters, but the cities itself (factories, all garbage produced in homes, etc). The advice to get a new car is the worst one: to produce a new car the use of natural resources (like water) and the CO2 production is a way higher then keep a less-than-10-years car for more years (as they were already produced using more tight emission rules). This applies to mobile (keep your mobile more years, as it's really expensive in terms of resources usage and CO2 production). Buy more stuff in glass (not in plastic). People is still talking about get a more modern car, but keep throwing garbage, plastic and buying new electronic devices every year.
When I'm reading a book, and I want to find a past sentence, but I cannot remember in exactly which chapter or page, I wish I can use something similar to `Ctrl+F`:D
I don't live in USA, so both are foreign agencies spying in my devices. Anyway, doesn't matter, as having a backdoor does it mean anyone (mainly hackers) will be able to use the same backdoor.
Snaps runs in a "container" like environment, carrying all the required libraries. While they're huge (when compared to.debs), they can be updated without the dependency hell.
Well, according our Slashdot specialists, a open source processor has not a single advantage over the current obscure ones, not even when we mention IME.
It's interesting that Linux kernel is, in theory, a non ideal kernel: while it has some modules, it's not a microkernel, and a lot of the modules still runs in the userspace. In this compromise, it delivers speed, when compared with real microkernels, but it loses security and stability. Like Intel, the reason why it got popular.

Everyone in the country will get a chip.
Fixed!

They'll not produce laws against something they're doing too.
How if the gov is doing the same?
If the feature is displayed in a stage with a nice showman, of course, yes! "Now let me talk about this amazing new feature... the dual sim support!"

The mistake was the typo or reveal to public they can time travel? Maybe this is the reason why they're unimpressed :D
I prefer the Precision line, the 15" ones. They are thin, but with upgradable parts.

Yeap, because we know that soon we'll have KDE 6 and working apps will got broken.

"suppliers deemed to pose a risk to American national security" == "suppliers do not accept to sell products with NSA backdoors"
Yes, fine until most of the free applications start doing the same and your CPU/battery will be depleted due this.
... if Slack is not based on XMPP itself.
But greasy and dirty are the keys to the flavor of a good burger! :D
I'm from Brazil and it's on by default for me.

Then eBay will buy Adyen for $1.5 billion and sell it later for $50 billion.

Everytime I play Street Fighter I have a strong desire of throw a hadouken in my brother!
