Did the author just collect a bunch of random bits of information from Wikipedia and attempt to construct a thesis around it, or is there a point to this article that I'm missing?

The HW has proprietary power management features that Windows cannot take advantage of. For the end user it's probably no big deal, but I think the commenter you replied to is right - power management is a delicate dance between hardwa

Wow, it's almost as if capping the fees they can charge provides an incentive for the banks to aggressively pursue anti-fraud technologies that benefit everyone. Naw, never mind this is the USA. Free market is all that matters.

I'm sure then that he paid for and licensed all his NBK samples, Star Wars samples, Prince samples, and Queen, and David Bowie, and Kiss, and and and.

I have to imagine there's a giant pile of (criminal) laws they could use to prosecute someone who's trying to defraud the government. But your point is still well-taken, and it's kind of academic anyway - it's an incredi

This is flatly incorrect. This is a civil proceeding, neither you nor your property are charged with a crime. Instead, a civil (not criminal) forfeiture proceeding is initiated against your property. I'm not just being pedantic, this

Apple wants a subscription service because then they can hobble the developers AND the users to prevent them from ever leaving.

Yeah I was laughing at the "it's never a perfect time to transition" and was thinking, well, when everyone hates you and wants you to leave is probably pretty close to a perfect time to leave.

The argument is that making decisions based on race is racism. Github isn't "monitoring" things, they're actively trying to change them, and using race (and other such factors that some people believe we should try to be

I'd say it's worse, because now that we don't pay for things (ad support ftw?) the service providers have a much stronger incentive to keep you on the site than they do to make you happy. They've slowly but surely develo

Mm, yes, hoover up that Google marketing hype and spew it back out here to create the echo chamber necessary to convince people these technologies are just around the corner.

Seems so odd to me that cosmetologists are always brought up in these conversations, when IMHO licensing for them makes absolutely perfect sense. Just two off the top of my head: 1) Dyes/bleaches/etc. are often extremely dangerous

For what it's worth I think it's important to bring up regardless of the snarkiness of his phrasing. There was a time when suggesting that at all would have sounded tinfoil-hatty, but now we need to consider it not just as a possi

It's more interesting to me how many people think money should, and inevitably will, trump all other interests. Maybe if you're a 20-something programmer uprooting your entire life to live somewhere else after decades in a locatio

"For the last 20 years, Blount has led technical teams at a range of companies." LinkedIn says she was an IC until 2002, and then from 2002 through 2006 she was a "software design/project management" which is also a

How? For the simple case, on web: Click the time I want to put in an event for, type in a name, click "Create Event". Even if somehow you managed to simplify further "I want to do something at this time - I want it to be name

Yes. Google has been trying to dumb down their services and products for years, to the point where the UI is something even a baby or old person with dementia can use it. For the most recent example of this see the latest update to the YouT

So by your measure there shouldn't have been any restrictions at all, and you should have been able to build whatever you wanted with no oversight, inspection or requirements?

It's funny (in a sad way) that posts like this show up and make it to the top every once in awhile, in between which we always forget that every company does this. It's super-shady and they all do it.

Your comment would make a lot more sense if it wasn't the very government that's charged with enforcing these laws that's saying Monsanto isn't following them. It's funny that you act like Monsanto is the legal enfo

That's because if you tell a sysadmin he needs to do development he says "yay!". Not much encouragement needed.

Do you somehow think those places are significantly cheaper than San Francisco? They're not.

Yep. It used to be prototypes looked like prototypes and so the 'polish' of a demo/concept gave you some idea of how mature the manufacturing/operations process was. Now it's so easy to fast prototype just about any

Larry thinks the way to win as a large company is to act like a small one. A big component of this is putting megalomaniacs in charge of teams/divisions and giving them near-total autonomy. It doesn't work, but he's obsessed

Larry's standard M.O. Hire and empower megalomaniacs because he thinks everything runs too slow and the right way to speed it up is to act like a startup, with one huge personality driving everything. He tried it with Andy/Android
