There is some signal[1] that maybe Fuchsia as an OS will support Android apps out of the box. As I'm sure we both know though, ANYTHING can happen between now and the ship date. [1] https://9to5google.com/2018/04&#

I like 360 panorama movies. Done right, the feeling of presence is excellent. VR is a niche to begin with, so I would hesitate to say that any one application (ex. CAD, gaming, 360 panoramas, etc) is the "killer app" so far since

I don't know the true answer to your question, but since encoding is expected to reach just 5X of VP9 by the end of this year, I think decoding is in the same order. The plan, of course, is in the coming years there will be decoders ba

I guess I don't understand your question. Is it "What makes Flutter different?" or "Why doesn't Flutter work for me?"

"Google" is actually a key differentiator here, because I think Google is uniquely focused on both design (it's been a long road to get here, but at this point I think Google is second only to Apple in design focus.) and inte

Agreed: Qualcomm is not a "patent troll", they're a normal company with a very sizable IP portfolio they rightfully innovated and use in their own products, as well as licensing to other companies. Whether they abuse their ma

The referenced blog post by the founder/chairman of MPEG is worth reading.[1] In it, Chiariglione expresses regret not for the money and control his organization is losing, but for the loss of competition which he claims will slow inno

The cities that don't get chosen, yes. But the thinking is that Amazon has already secretly picked a city years ago (Let's say Washington, DC) who was not originally planning to offer any tax breaks.Then they make a this big show

This was mentioned by someone else, but in case you missed it: the "concise format" is a result of this being a 23-tweet tweet storm that the Threadreader has compiled into one page for us.

Hi Adam! I installed Markdown Here from the Chrome Web Store, and I noticed it installed 2.12.0. However, it looks like you released 2.13.1 on GitHub. Should I be installing from GitHub?

The FAQ states I should shoot them an email to get my device added to the support list, but I can't seem to find the email address… Am I blind? Can someone point me to it?

It would seem that CineForm is inherently simple, so perhaps it does not infringe on any of the "more clever" codec's inventions (AKA patents). I imagine GoPro ran it through legal before doing this.

And perhaps for the final time. Google has released a support library[1] to put the onus back on individual app developers to integrate support for new emoji, and it is compatible all the way back to 4.4 (Kit Kat). [1] https://de

Are you positing it could be "we added (X*Y) number of subscribers this quarter, and for every Y subscribers we need to add 1 tower, but we only added (less than X) towers"? Reportedly, Verizon has some of the slowest[1] subscribe
