Exactly. UK is a democracy with a pretty good justice system that follows the law, so I was very surprised to read so negative comments about the outcome of the case. Do I feel sorry for the person - yes, but breaking any injunction from co

Manufacturer’s classification. 10W or 11W - it’s not a high bar really. If a computer can’t manage to stay below that, it’s ancient.

All that the rules say (yes, I read them) is that a workstation with 32G RAM (formula is 10 + 0.03 * RAM_GiB) must not exceed ~ 11W in sleep mode and a desktop with 32G RAM must not exceed 6W in sleep mode (5 + 0.03 * RAM_GiB). Basically, t

You have an idea you can’t explain to investors. How likely is it that you can explain it to your employees then? Here is an idea. Take debt on CC or a line of mortgage. Pay a contractor or two for a while to develop the product a bit and s

Better than the `alternative` ?... which is drive the car like everyone else? Why do Tesla drivers get the privilege to beta-test their cars on public road with everyone else around and potentially in their kill-zone?

General public is affected. A Tesla can cause accident on a public road with other drivers on the road, or cause a cascade or a pile-on - innocent bystanders can die or be injured.

Question: Would it be awesome if FDA allowed Pharma to conduct drug-tests like this? Put a "beta-2.9" on the vial and let people try it out... Some may die, be disabled or may linger in vegetative state life-long, but it was their

Yes. I was in the same boat. Tried many things. Eventually, I started exercising (very very infrequently) and trained myself to use the Mouse with the left hand. It has been 15 years since then. I suck at a counterstrike now but avoided giv

You mean the screenshot that shows a browser window just about 400px wide in which page content is forced behind the notification window? Yeah. I saw that too. Disclosure: I work for Amazon but not anywhere close to the browser plugin team(

I find it confusing because of all companies employing warehouse employees Amazon pays the highest $15/hr minimum wage and provides health benefits on top. Amazon is asking for $15/hr to be made national minimum wage, but getting

I work in a large company. The problem is not the first time setup. The problem is essentially what “uptime” you can provide. Once you setup an infrastructure many people come to depend on it. Lets say two teams lose half a day when that CI

Anecdote: I upgrade my late-2013 15” MBP to Big Sur without any issues. Feels a little bit snappier than Catalina for what’s it’s worth.

“Everyone has right to privacy ... except for ... protection of economic interest, keeping of morals, preventing disorder ...” That sounds more like declaration of “human rights” by China than by EU shakes head

Wait what? The GP said they were not mobile-first, they were mobile-only and that’s true. And No, what you say is not how any of the video services work. Pandemic or not, the largest selection of videos are 16:9. Quibi bet the house on a mo

Then why are buying ventilators and asking doctors to put their lives at risk? We never bought ventilators for flu and never had so much focus on vaccines. Maybe your point is to just go on and accept that few more millions will die of this

Higher wages in US is just cost of doing business - most top tier people won’t work in US at lower salaries because of extreme uncertainty and zero safety net. Salaries in Canada are lower but the safety net makes up for it.

All who were not killed by covid are not happily jumping around. You see the death stats and calculate a %. Once a medicine is invented the stats of injuries (both physical and financial) would trickle in. Several survivors have lost legs

If you’re saying why we don’t have multiple app stores run by multiple people and even self hosted apps then I can help add an answer. It was exactly like this before Android and iPhone. I had a Nokia E71 and before that a Sony Walkman phon

East is corrupt and west is not. Right! Does it ever occur to you that other agencies might have better relationships and trust with other countries? That people might just not respond very well to bullying money or not ?

You and your friends can totally agree to do a knife fight. However as soon as someone dies you can’t get out of the jail free saying you all agreed. You and others can’t make a pact to get infected with a deadly virus. If you do and someon

Naah, they merely looked at Apple Watch graphs and skipped more noninvasive diagnostics directly to invasive diagnostic procedure - aka catheterization aka angiography. Angiography is the real test that can find the blockage but is invasive

You are forgetting that the government already has your data. You already use you most confidential data to pay taxes and divulge all income sources. So you want to give that data to private entities as well? God.
