Twitter should offer a paid option to get rid of all the bots and ads. That would probably attract a fair amount of people and provide a (admittedly small) but stable revenue stream.

I thought I remembered something about circuits of this size being infeasible due to electrons hopping around?

Many software companies have been trending toward on-device AI though that largely avoids these privacy issues.

Complicated, but not that bad... just need to optimize for the worst case and the best case will purr along happily. Some sort of near-field beacon on the stops might be more durable than relying on GPS, but it won't help with missed s

Those numbers are whacked. We use ElasticSearch with >10B docs ingested and the cost is like a few thousand dollars a month for hosting.

They're not coming back. Being a smartphone OEM is a massive money sink with little upside unless you're the #1 or #2 player in a market. Wearables, VR, health, etc are the next targets for Nokia.

A tax is simply a deterrent, where c&t is an opportunity to make a boatload of money selling your credits to a carbon hog while simultaneously improving the state of the art for co2 emission reduction to free up more credits to be sold&

Short answer: you can't. The Earth's rotation would make collecting that energy very unwieldy. Individual collectors could act like capacitors, but getting that power down to the planet continuously isn't really doable with a

I think I remember reading a fictional book about this. Something about the pyramid being a necropolis and there being a machine taking you up to a different area that was supposed to be the "heaven" in the duality. Alien God thin

Because adding GUIs to overcomplicated software with poor DUX always helps things.

Sure, but you've also nuked a developer's ability to easily onboard and understand the codebase with "clever" one liners. Good, maintainable code tends to trend toward lower cognitive load more often than compact solutio

select is an odd term choice for what is essentially a race condition. What's the thought behind the naming of that method?

Avoiding burnout is about setting boundaries for both yourself and your coworkers to avoid unhealthy expectations. If your job _expects_ you to work more than 50 hours a week max, you need to have a talk with the relevant manager. It's

Marissa utterly failed at Yahoo. Her advice is not to be listened to, IMO.

Nokia proper does not make phones anymore, but they are looking into wearables and likely smart health devices with the recent acquisition of Withings. As Nokinside pointed out though, it will not be manufacturing phones going forward for t

The templating is very inflexible and the routing becomes extremely complex as your application grows in size. There are also a lot of gotchas with the runloop that require time and experience to understand.

Intelligently-optimized JS animations are generally more performant than CSS ones by an order of magnitude. See Greensock for relevant examples. Side note, your examples don't assign keys to your array-mapped paths, which will emit war

There's also a BitTorrent client by the same name, if anyone thought this sounded familiar.

Doesn't that increase the file size though? They're looking at 3G load speeds, so any increase in file size is probably unwelcome.
