I don't think there is a definitive answer on that but this is one of my favourite articles on the topic: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/05/the-l... In the end we'll likel

Some great updates in this release. Credit card saving and PDF filling will both be very useful for me. I've become used to the CC feature on Android and just last week was noting its absense in Firefox. Note further down looks like

One possible bug... playing in Firefox and I went F11 / full screen. Reached the end of the game I was locked out of all F keys in Firefox and thus couldn't restore my screen. Ended up having to kill the Firefox task. Possibly

In this sample image it's not just the white streak but the glow caused by it which extends about 5-8x it's width to either side. More like 20% of this image is unreliable data. Taking multiple exposures isn't always possibl

As I noted on a similar thread the issue is not removing the streaks, it's what data is lost behind those. If you take a look at this image you'll see that it can be a non-trivial amount of interference in some cases and that dat

Think about using the takeout service to archive a copy of these a couple times of year. Doesn't take too much space. I have 53000 files currently occupying 132Gig of space. I run a docker image on one of my local servers that does a

Additionally I think replicating AWS is much easier these days than replicating the entire technology stack needed to competatively launch / maintain an entire fleet of satellites. Replicating AWS is a solved problem... throw money at

It's not? I use PayPal for all my eBay transactions and what few items I sell (abeit rarely) also seem to be paid for via PayPal.

I wrote a piece of software that still handles all engineering project management for one of the larger communications companies in North America (>2.5 million customers). I developed it in 1997 and it is still in place today, chugging

This isn't surprising given the Pixel 4a and the 5 being coming up soon. With the price difference there is really no reason to purchase a Pixel 4 now.

Agree, water resistance would have been nice but it's not mutually exclusive to the headphone jack. Samsung was doing both for awhile.

True, though Crew Dragon also has a "washroom". (likely acts more like a vacuum than anything though)

I don't think learning a problem is harder than you thought and then still solving it is a detriment. If anything this community should be the ones that understand that the full scope of a problem often becomes apparent once you'

Penny rounding was supposed to balance out, with 0.01 and 0.02 rounding down to 0.00 and 0.03 and 0.04 rounding up to 0.05. In theory it balances out. I don't think even adjusting your prices to get "in my favour" rounding

Quebec went to 9.975 because they used to have "stacked" taxes, where you would charge GST first, then charge QST on the combined total as a second step. (yes, they QST taxed the GST) A few years back they went to a "sane&q

Factoid for the day: Cranston's work on that episode won him the Breaking Bad role later. AMC wasn't convinced he could pull it off (seeing him as a sitcom comedy actor) until Gillian showed them his work in that episode and he w

I use this feature on a daily basis, in fact it's running right now. I have a few UI issues with it, the resize border is much too hard to hit, it would be nice to be able to click the video to pause, and I would like to see a progres

I think this was done initially because it was being hijaaked by malware. Malicious applications were getting into systems then changing the default handlers to insert themselves into the system processes.

How much would hit the fan if Microsoft changed Windows, even just on Surface hardware, to ensure that any time you bought something from Amazon it had to go through their payment gateway and they got a percentage?

I'm curious what those extentions are as Firefox has a fairly roboust extension environment.

I would be curious about the underprovisioned thing... that's very possible. I travel to the US frequently (well before the world turned upside-down) and I would say in 8/10 US cities I visit I experience frustratingly worse cell

In a nutshell it comes down to two things. A. It's not ready to fly yet. And B. it's not really built for that purpose. Sort of like taking an RV to the corner store. You can do it but it's expensive, bulky, and over-built

I'm not a BO hater by any means but I find that timeline to be virtually impossible. On the most basic level the craft they would need to use hasn't even seen the light of day, let alone accomplished any orbital flights. Somethin

I keep wondering if Blue Origin has something up their sleeve. New Shepard has a great track record but only for sub-orbital hops so far and hasn't yet carried human passengers after 12 successful flights. The New Glen concept looks i

From what I have read NASA has opted for the 4 seat version only, and then placed cargo under them where the other 3 seats would be. SpaceX has designed the capsule to carry 7 if you want an all passenger config but it will need to be head

I've been watching Aging Wheels videos for awhile now and it's nice to see him gaining popularity. I find him refreshingly "unpolished" and just fun to watch.
