Thanks for that.

Its a weird that the couldn’t just choose to back port the fixes that have security implications even if it wouldn’t deserve a cve.

🤦

Obviously. I’ve just got two emotions about the content I want to show.

I want a upvote for sharing, down vote the concept button. I hate it.

As much as I hate it, think it’s a terrible part for a free, open, and secure web; it’s probably a solid business move based on the hype.

Also the part where Twitter has invested in s tier lawyers and brought and iron clad contract that heavily favored them. Which being an entitled idiot he agreed to. So when he tried to back out he literally couldn’t afford the penalties because he didn’t have enough cash and getting it would loose him control of his companies.

Definitely not him being dumb and entitled. Surely it was a petty $50k grudge.

INAL but my understanding was a lot of the fines and penalties hung on IE being part of the OS. I think it was the update functionality but don’t quote me.

So with some legal technicalities, later versions of windows made it “not” part of the OS just a bundled application. A legal distinction without meaning but it meant they didn’t need to do these things anymore.

Maybe, but I do believe at least then being aspirationaly not evil made it a much different company. It made people try to be better both in and outside google even if at some level it was still a big corp doing big corp things.

Whatever it is now is a boring husk of what it was and I think you can draw a line from that to those naive people and their belief in that principle trying to make awesome things and a better world.

Maybe that’s just me looking back with rose colored glasses though.

I don’t know if there could have been a comment that sums up the problem. To this person Netflix is no longer a product; it’s not about the best content or the best experience anymore. It’s about getting your buck.

Netflix used to have the best content online at the best price. It now has neither and I don’t know how anyone still rationalizes subscribing.

Are they in front of green screens? Did he not even bother to come into the office to record this?

Also twitch. Yuck…

Probably some great devs on the market for anyone hiring though.

Completely different companies. In 2015 HP became HP Inc keeping consumer products like printers and laptops and HPE split taking servers and business stuff. I assume lap equipment went to HPE as well but couldn’t find anything on a quick search.

That’s probably HPE. The companies split a while back

We’ve gone through die size, clock speed, instructions and operations, the transistors count. All are stand-ins for “complexity” which is why some people question if the law ever existed.

That said, regardless of the “real” law, until recently the colloquial usage has always been a stand in for how “quick” a processor is. In that sense, you really need to do some hand waving around core counts and even then it doesn’t really work.

Maybe more importantly, one of the most important processor markets are mobile and servers which are largely focused on less complex more efficient processors like arm.

So outside of marketing, it’s very easy to see why a lot of people think Moore’s law is dead and we’re all better for it. We can continually make better processors without trying to meet some arbitrary metric that didn’t really mean anything useful to start with.

E: aggressively agreeing

No need to downvote this. It’s an insidery technically correct statement. We’ve redefined how we measure Moore’s law several times to make it “keep working” and some people designing chips, not selling them, think it’s not only outlined it’s usefulness but also not true anymore.

As someone using various wireless standards over over twenty years and in IT dealing with wifi instability on basically a daily basis. No.

Wifi is a series of compromises to be convenient. It’s “good enough” for most of those but generally and increasingly in newer standards, the compromise is to drop stability for things speed. You’ll see this to be the case in a lot of professional wifi gear that will transfer you to a lower standard if it sees weaker signals to improve stability.

To make that concrete, a problem with wifi in an office is an embarrassing “I’ll call back on my phone” but a factory floor that could be millions of dollars of downtime to restart an entire chain of machines. Hardened industrial wiring and connections is well established and wifi is just not at that level. The poorly formed example of the robot was trying to convey their intention to start addressing that level of hardening.

All that said, based on my experience reading ieee articles this is all exaggerated. in reality we’re probably just getting more stable video calls at higher bandwidths. Still a win for the help desk techs everywhere and people with a heavy wall making Netflix flaky.

Why aren’t people using our service? Should we lower prices? Provide better shows and services? No no, we’re business people not people making a product. Cut and merge!
