"...echoing objectives set forth previously in the Made in China 2025 program" In other words, this isn't a suprise, just that this is the latest push to fulfil the existing plan.

So they're releasing the code? But what about the art assests. Moving to the future, those become more valuable, particularly as coding becomes more advanced. While coders have a habit of happily rewriting things to make them work bett

A big component is surely from work. In which case, how does the philosophy extend to take into account the fact that people are in offices working?

Your statement does not make clear whether you're making a positive assertion about the mechanism of myopia, or whether you're making an assertion about some other potential eye condition. If you are making a positive assertion ab

Well, the poor need the most government handouts, and if you make the people who need the most government handouts have to give away most of their income in this manner, you've essentially just taken government debt and given it to the

Of course people want money, everyone else does. But it doesn't matter what they feel, and it doesn't matter what I would feel, nor how you would feel. What matters is how those who are most vulnerable are treated. It's not f

That sounds reasonable, but even this little bit causes wealth transfer by setting home ownership just a little bit more off limits to the majority by increasing the supply of slightly too cheap rooms. Thus creating an incentive to the wide

I guess 'surely' technically qualifies as you do not have anything to compare it to. But because of that, describing it in any quantity can only be guesswork. Edit: that is to say, you only have one life, and comparing the whole t

I can't help but wonder if the Russian connection isn't just a ruse of Trump, to let him wash his hands of his more extreme views.

The parents point was that, by hiding disk type, they are intentionally device managed, not host aware (HA) nor host managed (HM), so do not fit the bill.

DVD was also popular around the time that Plasmas were being introduced, which also had burn in issues.

Seems unlikely. Maybe with reduced precision, so they can use lower maintenance meters. They do have to account for crazy usage still surely. But while you get a bill for the connection, they've still got a billing overhead.

Basically, at this point it is a screening tool for people who don't know how unscientific they are, and will get flustered going up against the process (not the device itself). I'm guessing they're assuming the rate of false

This begs the question, how much does it cost to lay road than to lay rail? If it's going to be exclusively autonomous, the more narrow confines of the rail should be well suited.

It's tricky to compare SDKs when they are not at feature parity, like you mention. It's often the edge cases that make things difficult, so if you've only done the non-edge cases, you might think you're most of the way,

Thankfully, reader mode seems to be compatible with it.

Fair comment really. People are taking the worst case and running with it. Really governments should have had more forethought to make preparations while things were still good. Attempting self sufficiency sounds more like a post apocalypti

The main counter to that is, that's people who have earnt less money, not able to defer to the future, and instead have to perform a fiscal recovery.

I'm making preparations, but I think I'm going to have to make even more. Having one child under two, and another just about to be born, I really can't afford their exposure, when they'll still be in a developmental phas

Perhaps. Simply having watched "Who killed the electric car" it was clear that it was already heading in that direction, even if it was snubbed at that time. Tesla was the agent in making electric cars cool though. It's true

Even if it is 15, that's still not long enough for many regulatory environments to respond effectively.

That's a tad unfortunate. Signal was just low profile enough that my wife and I could use it in China. This raises the profile of it just a bit higher than I'd like. Further, with the likes of https://news.ycombinator.c

It's not clear, if this is a replacement Uber Client, or a whole new decentralised infrastructure for being an unlicenced taxi. Looks like it might be the latter.

The paranoid part of me would suspect that they've already been taken over, and the criminals behind them are actively preventing infection from visible forms of attack so they can maintain access to a valuable resource.

I never really found any of those tools. Granted I could have looked harder. Perhaps I was looking in the open source world too much and they usually came as binaries?
