720p is more than adequate for most shows and movies. I don't mind 720p at all.

What a bunch of long-winded babble. Incredulously, he's shilling an app at the end of this. I don't agree that this is an interesting submission, and IMO there's no new information here.

No, of course not. Just like I haven't tried bungee jumping.

They built a lot of bombs, then proceeded to sell them to friendly regimes and drop them on others. Of course, after the bombs are dropped and the regimes are replaced, the bombs are sold to the new regime. Hegemony ain't cheap.

The software solution was to disable MCAS if sensors disagreed by more than X. The FAA didn't release any data on how many flights landed successfully with MCAS disabled, nor did they address the scenario really at all in their report

Twitter offers him value, or he wouldn't be on it. Personally, I think they could charge $50/mo and most blue checks would pay it. I think Elon has the right idea, you gotta dip their toes in the water, then jack up the price lat

You will be shown no ads from the hours of 8pm-8am, a bunch during your busiest times, or some such. In any case, how are people going to verify on their end they're getting what they paid for? Maybe in 10 years they'll have a cl

UBI images work fine for many use cases, and importantly, they're free to redistribute, not just use. If you're selling a containerized software solution to people, it might make sense to use the UBI as it will get real security

And where do the people make noise about these types of things? Twitter. If they just stop promoting that content and turning a few keyboard warriors into news items, then companies will be none the wiser, and will happily spend money. Bu

For some reason, people seem to assume that people will like virtual reality. It all seems very forced to me, much like 3D TVs, and won't live up to the hype.

"Pressure from advertisers" implies the advertisers are paying more than the marginal utility of the ads themselves in some kind of corporate-back-scratching model. If the ads provide a ROI, then other advertisers will gladly jump

Hard at scale doesn't necessarily mean useful. Putting lots of people on hard projects that don't increase revenue is a pointless endeavor.

They don't need to worry about valuation, they're just going to cut costs and extract revenue. Politicians and sports media aren't going to abandon twitter any time soon, so I expect revenue will hold for quite some time. It

This fate is befalling the entire post-industrialized world. Boeing learned this the hard way when they opened up that plant in SC. Institutional knowledge can't always be replicated.

I've had the misfortune of using ceph both supported and unsupported. IMO, it's a nightmare to use, it constantly has problems, there's tons of bugs in every release. We're currently several releases behind because the

When John McCain flies out and meets the head of the opposition, who thereafter storm the capital with assault rifles, and the president of the country flees, it sure looks like a western backed coup to me.

The people that define the standards don't implement them. The people that implement them don't validate them. Government systems don't typically have any kind of system that periodically checks system configuration, though

That's the subtle purpose of the BB. The modern world is so ridiculous, it's impossible to tell satire from reality. How is this any different than memes? Memes are created by lots of people and spread around the internet, true

None of this makes the artistic rendering less of a derivative work. It's clear the rendering is meant to be an artistic take on a certain photograph. The border between infringing and not is subjective, like many things.
