Multimedia is tricky but, from the way you describe it, you've come across the more general problem that writing concurrent software in general, and parallel software in particular, can be a real sod. What you're likely to be expe

Not quite. He's like a vacuum salesman who promises to give his customers dishwashers and toasters for free if they buy a vacuum cleaner. When they buy the vacuum cleaner, it turns out he lied about the other goods but they still ended

My prediction is that COVID-19 may have killed any chance of serious action on climate change. I saw an estimate a few weeks ago that said that we'd need to be in the equivalent of a COVID-19 lockdown for 7-8 full years to get the temp

Bugs have been known to cause some fairly major blow outs [0]. It's pretty/very rare for malicious code/data to get involved because this sort of thing is almost always co-hosted with the exchange. There's nowhere really

Either that or the Scottish legal system takes a dim view of journalists identifying rape trial victims. Contrary to an explicit order of Court. I doubt he’ll get time; I don’t believe he actually said who they were, just hinted at it. Prob

Turns out I'm about 5 years out of date [1], I retract. Schools have improved markedly in the last 5 years. In what way are they for profit institutions? Who is profiting financially? They're charities (for the most part) and are

Where are you getting your data from? This [1] would suggest that the Google/Bing analogy is a little off. My, anecdotal, experience is that some large corporations, who would like to use Zoom, can't until the major security issue

Do you have reason to believe his mother is dead? Do you have reason to believe that he didn't just mean "seeing his mother" literally? I saw my mother on Mothers' Day. I stayed 200+ miles away from her while doing so. F

I'd expect there are 2 main reasons. The first is that investors requiring cash to cover margin calls for all the other markets that are tanking. This is likely to be a reason for the big drop in gold prices yesterday. The second is a

As the apparatus you describe is entirely fictional, I see no reason why you can't invest yourself with any fictional attributes you want whilst you imagine using the device. So, if your spouse wants to imagine being a god, I can'

This is just a guess but the GDP of California is estimated to be around $3tn. So $300bn is approx 10% GDP. So, by VAT, maybe they mean a 10% haircut on absolutely everything?

It doesn't presuppose that the killing is right. It's asking the child to formulate a speech as if they were a PM justifying it. Understanding how public figures use language to justify their actions is a very useful skill. Bein
