It sounds like your use-case doesn't require battery power (at least when fully-deployed). Wouldn't it be better use a consumer laptop and focus your efforts on optimizing wall-powered monitors for packability?

Even if you had 2 clocks that accurate, would it even be possible to properly synchronize them? If you used an electric signal to tell the clocks to measure, wouldn't that wire length need to be measured to the precision of a hydrogen

They offer that information as criteria the ad campaigns can select for. The criteria could be pieces of specific datum or analyzed conclusions (e.g. predicted sexual orientation, political affiliation). Those conclusions may be inaccurat

I was disturbed by that statement as well. It's pure PR spin based on turning a blind eye. They could detect mass malicious activity if a single IP was resetting thousands of accounts. But I'm skeptical they even checked based o

I'd expect giants to be more vulnerable to changes in the ecosystem. A new species is introduced that creates competition and the giants can't adapt to a new niche. I imagine deep-sea is an ecosystem that doesn't get disrupt

Apparently it has two meanings. I've only heard it in terms of implying bodily harm, and I'm also in the US. Probably a phrase to be avoided if you don't mean bodily harm because there's a high risk of misinterpretatio

Not to mention the chilling effect it'd have on adoption of unreal engine for next gen consoles. Just the existence of a Sony v Epic lawsuit, would have devs rethinking what engine they use for playstation 5.

I love it and I'm sure there would be plenty of willing people. What I think is misguided is the assumption that the president would do the deed personally. "SGT Thompson, bring me the codes, I'll be in the next room"

80% of Dubai's food is imported, so can you label it already uninhabitable? Habitable is just a matter of how many resources you're willing to pump into making it so. With the holy sites in the middle east, it will remain popula

Well he died in 1990, so probably not much he can do. And it's safe to say it's not reality since he has many grandchildren in their 30s. Quotes like this seem to be more of a warning then predictive, and Dubai seems to be tryin

Escalating only works when you can reach reason in the higher chain. You can only go to senior leadership with the options and consequences. We have option A or option B, or we do nothing and we have consequence C. When that leader picks

Zoom getting the music audio through mic sounds like the real problem. You should be aiming to stream the audio from digital source. Then you could have the song titles overlaid on video. There's definitely licensing issues though.

Copyright law is not caught up to how computers operate. There are still arguments that executing a program is creating a copy (into memory) in violation of copyright law. That it is only allowed since the EULA permits it. There is no wa

I don't get it. Why would a bank loan billions to a company losing money, so they can acquire another company losing money? The bank takes all the risk for little return. At what point should the bank just become an investor.

In the course of their self-harm though they also tend to damage society. The starving addict doesn't just lay down in the street and die. They beg and they steal because they're desperate. They rip copper out of buildings whil

Appoint a guardianship or place them in a group home. Addiction isn't going to be solved by food stamps. Give them treatment and if they keep relapsing, then declare them incompetent.

I'm for UBI. I'm just suggesting it should be implemented in a way that doesn't causes jobless people to group up into ghettos. Those areas would have high unemployment and little opportunity, putting those people in a dead

Even universal has winners and losers. How do you deal with different cost of livings between Bay Area and Mississippi? If the UBI is not adjusted and covers living expenses in cheap areas but not expensive areas, then people might decide

I wonder if they got caught up in google removing "creepware" recently and notification mirroring might count. "CreepRank algorithm can identify apps with features that can be abused to extract SMS messages from a device, sp
