I hate systemd because it's horribly, cancerously invasive, often messing with existing functionality that works well and replacing it with worse substitutes / duplicates. In recent memory, off the top of my head, it messed with

Quite the opposite. The fact that ICE sales are expected to drop long before that makes it a "safe" promise because it's happening anyway - a politician's dream - but it still has value: it is likely to cause further acc

$721m revenue is not $721m profit. The division may have been operating at a loss. Big shipments may have been provided to retailers and booked as revenue, just waiting to return unsold or massively discounted.

The IoT market is going to grow significantly and Intel drops it? Why not reboot it, after a "lessons learned" and some serious study of the e.g. Beagleboard, Pi and Arduino ecosystems, to check what works (hint: price matters. L

Speculation: it's possible that the source sites are actively hostile to scraping and intentionally mess with the layout regularly, or may even have ruled out any kind of automation in their ToS - so if you don't want to get sued

Indeed it doesn't provide anonymity against the sites you visit - quite the opposite, it makes it even easier to correlate your browsing regardless of device/location. But many (the undersigned for example) use VPNs for many other

But this isn't prohibition - tobacco products are still for sale (except to minors, where the mechanism you mention definitely is at play). It's just building a social stigma about the use of the product - which happens to be ba

This, if correctly publicized, would be the best motivation in getting huge amounts of people to stop. Think of a slogan like "Only the poor still smoke" or "it's what losers do" and how it would impact people. Sudd

Not necessarily. So many of the improvements would anyway have a dual use, and it's not like their margins in the gaming/end user GPU business are razor thin. Moreover, the volume is probably immensely higher, so despite lower per

A 50kW charger may sound useless, but in just a short 10 minute break (use the restroom, have a coffee, pay and get back in the car) it gives you 8.3 kWh - which on a model S, whose efficiency I find rated between 3 and 3.8 miles/kWh,

You turn a personal anecdote into generalized advice. Please don't do that - this is irresponsible. Immune systems vary wildly across people, and even you may have simply been very lucky until today. Don't turn this into advice.
