I'm a Sonos user and love it, but Sonos doesn't have any assistant capability at all, so saying "similar if not identical features" seems like quite the stretch.
Intel's Optane SSDs do stripe across the controller's seven channels; that's the main reason why they're faster than the single-channel Optane Memory M.2 modules.

At any capacity or channel configuration, 3D XPoint devices benefit from not having to perform large block erase operations. They can perform reads and writes at the same granularity, allowing for in-place modification of data instead of requiring a log structure with garbage collection under the hood.
Proper queuing in RDBMSs can be tricky.

This game should be monetized, a couple of ideas:

1. You could sell "upgrades packets" in the login screen, so that one can start playing with an upgraded aircraft from the very beginning.
2. There could be other aircrafts that could be either unlocked with enough points or bought.
So they can currently argue that, since they don't know the age of the browser, they're not liable?

Weren't we better off with a policy making it illegal to sell web browsing history for anyone; regardless of whether their age or disability is known?
I've worked with both Braintree and Stripe, and I'm honestly not sure why people harp on about Stripe so much compared to BT. In my experience, they're both super easy to work with.
Just my opinion but I believe the inflationary nature proposed here will create a pressure to immediately swap your basic income to other crypto, there are too many cons in holding this coin eg you don't know who will accept it and for a decentralized system is too personal, I understand that with the level of specificness of every person having their own coin politics will come into play with validators Nations refusing each others coins

Interesting concept that the validators are incentivized not to validate the wrong people but perhaps need more incentive to validate people, perhaps the validators would start printing their own money and automatically disperse it, fairly dangerous ideas but we are all lucky the ball is rolling on this.

Does good taste exist, and if so, can one detect and measure it?
Milk is a common allergen, especially among young children, but Soylent is also made with common food allergens (notably, soy protein and gluten), so on balance that issue is kind of a wash (or, maybe, advantage to Ensure), though specific users may avoid one or the other based on their specific allergies and conditions.

Opting out of consumerism is one of the easiest ways to engage in direct action for social change -- it just requires you to do _nothing_, and be proud of it! The only difficulty is maintaining emotional strength to resist bullying, and the pain that comes from adopting a mindset that a loved one giving you a gift is harmful to your psyche.

I once heard a relative say "if they don't send thankyou cards, I'll just stop sending gifts". So I killed two bird with one stone by stopping the thankyou cards for unwanted gifts :-)

That's really neat if it works out. But doesn't this mean that users have to own a copy of Windows to use those drivers legally? Maybe they can download some drivers from manufacturer sites, and maybe some of their EULAs don't require the user to own a copy of Windows, but I'd be surprised if many users could run a machine with only Windows drivers without any of the drivers included in Windows releases.

But even if that all works as well as it does in Windows, it's still inferior to Linux. Users are stuck with whatever binary drivers they can get, and whatever reverse-engineered, bug-for-bug compatibility the ReactOS developers can manage. It would be much better for users if they could run WINE on Linux.

My roommate finds it helps with loneliness - oftentimes she's home alone because of her work schedule as a flight attendant, and everyone else is busy at work, so she has no one to really talk to. She has found some happiness with talking to Alexa.
Since I installed Gogs recently, I was actively looking for an answer to "is it written in Go?" first of all. I like how easy it is to just bind service to localhost:someport and add one line for reverse proxy to nginx/caddy/apache/whatever, instead of dealing with all those CGI/FastCGI/WSGI/paths/permisions/indexes/whatever. The second thing I look for is "does it require MySQL or can I just make it create its own SQLite database and stop nagging me about configuration?".

Btw, I have never wrote go besides playing around with web server tutorial recently.

If only someone can recommend me a chat service that is just as easy to configure as Gogs. Mattermost requires its own domain :(

Governments are like corporations in many ways, except they have voting rights for their constituency. They're just another group of people.

Sure, governments have guns, but as long as there is a constitution preventing abuses and the rule of law, that is constrained.

The bigger danger is cooption of governments by corporations and other powerful interest groups that have no such protections/limitations.

Even those debates aren't remotely the same. Just because some people are idiots and create a scare due to irrational beliefs they have been indoctrinated with, doesn't mean that there aren't actually things to be scared of for good reasons.

Rock and roll was mostly deviating from the mainstream and going against some religiously motivated moral ideas, which is an idiotic reason to be afraid of something. TV absolutely did and still does rot people's brains, so to speak, because that is actually the goal of some of the actors behind it, and similarly for the antisocial networks of today.

That sounds nice, but wouldn't it be better if the effort were put toward WINE alone?

I just don't understand. WINE is like a necessary evil, a noble sacrifice of its developers' time to enable users to switch from Windows to a free, open platform for the applications they can't run on one natively. It's a sensible abstraction that enables something that wouldn't otherwise be possible.

But why reimplement Windows, the whole OS? If the devs enjoy it, it's their time to use as they choose. But the end result would be much more beneficial for users if it were put toward WINE so users could leave the Windows platform behind.

I'm already unhappy with my ISP; they constantly raise prices without raising service, and I don't reach even 20% of the speed that I'm paying for. Looking for another ISP: Hmm. Well, I could go mobile (surely they won't have a problem with a couple hundred GB a month in bandwidth!) Or there's satellite (same issue, plus horrendous latency). Guess I'm stuck with the cable company.

Let's hope for the future that someone new comes in. Looks up local regulations...the city gave that company exclusive franchise rights. Great.

That sounds really cool. But:

1. I presume this requires "bug-for-bug compatibility." How feasible is this without access to either the Windows source code or a lab full of machines and QA staff?

When a user gets a ReactOS BSOD because of a bug in the ReactOS driver ABI, what do they do? Even if they can report a bug and it eventually gets fixed, what do they do in the meantime? The answer is, probably, boot back into Windows and get their work done. Then they have to justify to themselves taking the time to try ReactOS again sometime in the future.

2. How many machines in the wild can run without any Microsoft-made drivers included in Windows releases? If the answer is less than 100%, those users will still have to own a copy of Windows.
One thing I'd really like to see along with the google home / chromecast lineup is a projector offering as well. Something I can set up on a shelf or mount on a wall that I can cast to or simply say, "Ok google play binging with babish on youtube". Especially if it were a laser projector (something currently available but in a very high price bracket due to lack of demand), I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

You would feel intense rage? Jesus. That sounds like intense overkill. You might be quite unlike an average person if you specifically--and without fail--recall every choice you've made forever when you're in the process of setting up tools.

No, it's not at all like the software forgetting the options you've set. It's the software, in the interest of providing a user with the greatest possible control over their software, while having the average user's propensity to forget minor details in mind, offering the explicit option to re-evaluate a prior choice in the future without having to remember to do so, or manually recall the way to do it.

Moreover, when I threw out the off-the-cuff idea to occasionally re-prompt, I set that occasion as an annual one. You're making it sound in this overreaction as if I suggested it to occur every few days or weeks. Instead of instantly going to such unwarranted extremes as full-on-intense-rage-mode-11, thinking to yourself, "Oh my fucking god, what the fuck is wrong with this developer that s/he'd dare to ask me this question I answered 2 years ago again?!", you might pause just a moment to consider it to be a little like recalibrating a tool that's been in use for some time. Few people keep static positions on things. Such recalibration doesn't need to occur at every minor upgrade, but perhaps major upgrades might want to ask the user to review their settings/choices.

I've changed my position on things I've opted in/out of at various times. When it's privacy-related, I've increasingly developed a harder default stance over the last 15 years. I wouldn't mind if my tools asked me to annually review old choices I've long forgotten--much like I've heard Facebook offers people their little privacy checkups (ignoring for the moment the efficacy of such a checkup when everything you do is tracked). Many people other than me reacted to the way in which the analytics "feature" was included in homebrew with surprise, because many of us never noticed the notification, and a great many of us believe tracking is something that should always be opt-in, not opt-out. However, as of this writing, I can't recall exactly what my current homebrew setting for analytics is, and I can't recall how long it's been since I last checked it to ensure it is what I think it is.

But hey, that's just me, friend. I can't remember every choice I made last month, much less last year, two years ago, or any time before that. If you do, that's cool. If you were using a tool I created/maintained, and I wanted to cover all my bases, I'd simply give you a way to say, "Don't ever fucking ask me this question again or I'll rage tweet what a forgetful little shit you are." :)

YEP!

So the phone would pompt and say that it would upgrade late at night, but it would ask you to confirm it to do so, then allow you to delay the upgrade - requiring your pin...

welp, I ALWAYS delayed that upgrade and told it NO, ask me later and entered my pin....

Yet, I woke up one morning and it reported to me it had successfully upgraded.

I was livid (this was right after the calc animation-deay-bug was made public)

So I went into apple store walnut creek, super pissed off.

I said to the "genius" "Do you know who Jonny Ive is?" he said "Yes", so I said "well if he were here in this store I ould punch him in the face"

I specifically did NOT want to upgrade the iOS on my phone because I use a lot of features that were reportedly buggy in the new release.

Apple told me there was "no way they could revert my iOS version whatsoever"

but the upgrade was done literally without my consent..

I was really angry...

Now, the farking thing is falling into the bug group of the 6S+ phones that have the faulty battery problem, yet my SN doesnt hit in their list of bad SNs that are suposedly affected:

Poor batt perf, touch screen taps stop working/delayed like mad, batt drains in less than a day, random shutdowns, random reboots, app crashes, etc...

so yeah, this isnt a conspiracy theory - the 11.1.2 iOS deserves someone at apple needs a shovel to the face.

For this explanation to make sense, you need to consider "mass indiscriminate firing" to be "justice." Those vocal critics of things like Operation Paperclip could have told the Bush administration that was ridiculous in 2003. They were never asked, almost no one was. The occupation strategy was slapped together last minute by people chosen for their political ideology.

The claim was "constantly recording every conversation within its field of reach", not if commands after "OK Google" are send to Google servers. For the commands Google's terms-of-service allow (themselves) to use data to improve any of their products and that includes personalization (advertising), so I doubt such a firewall exists.

> I think that there are going to be problems with any social platform

The problem is the idea of a "social platform".

We need social technology, not social platforms. We need technology that allows people to communicate and share, but we don't need a middleman that is semantically involved in any of this. Telephone networks don't care about the content of your calls, they simply allow you to talk to people. Parks and pubs don't have people who monitor what you are talking about, they simply provide you with a place to meet.

That is what the internet and technology building on it should provide.
