Roku doesn't want to allow YouTubeTV to install open source codecs for 4K streams. Since that's how YouTubeTV will support 4K streams on other platforms, YouTubeTV doesn't want to have its Roku support crippled by having to do without them here.
The analogy is if you suspect someone of stealing your wallet, you are allowed to break into their house, search through it to find and take back your wallet, destroy a few things here and there to prevent them from pickpocketing in the future, and then call in the police to arrest the guy.
Oh, but if you made a mistake and destroyed some random person's stuff, well, you were still acting within the law.
Isn't associating non-Google app and web site activity with Google information sort of necessary in order for Google Now and Google Home to work properly?
House of Cards distribution rights are not solely owned by Netflix. Wikipedia indicates distribution is jointly owned by Netflix and Sony. Compare to Daredevil or Luke Cage, which I think was launched simultaneously everywhere, where Netflix is listed as the only distributor.
They have a nasty message that Ubuntu 12.04 is EOL - despite that from Canonical's POV it's still supported for another year.
that would not let similar flaws to plague the hypervisor ever again
Can we trust people to critique code who can't even manage English grammar? There's a basic principle here: All writing needs an editor. What looks good to the person who wrote it can have bad syntax.
Evanston did a lot of that, too - broad sidewalks, killed off parking, increased density. It was an unholy mess about 15 years ago when I left college. Small businesses hated it (try walking your purchases from the hardware store back) and lots went out of business. Then they built up even more density, built a new downtown center next to the old downtown center, *finally* built some parking garages, and it started to pick up. Post-bubble rebound in the mid 2000's helped.
Honestly - Evanston is a lovely place full of liberal people on various noble quests (practical is another matter), but "kill the car"? I don't know who is saying you'll find no cars around, because it's still damned hard to find street parking and there's a constant flow of cars through the downtown streets. And where's the nearest grocery store? Closest I'm aware of is still a couple miles out of downtown, either up on Green Bay or down Chicago towards Dempster. Very much not in walking distance of anything. The cars aren't going to disappear just because there's a condo complex next to downtown. Like every other suburb, it's still very much a driving place. After all, every suburb wants to attract people from every other suburb - Evanston has dining, Skokie has Old Orchard (a large mall), Northbrook has shopping and the Botanical Garden, etc. All of that requires cars.
Didn't see any problems with VPNs during the betas, nor with final release. This is with connections to Junos Pulse, StrongSwan/xl2tpd, and racoon VPNs.
Maybe the reason it wasn't "fixed" is it isn't an issue in the first place.
The same articles show up over and over. The first states that computers are about to do consciousness. The second states that consciousness is a mere illusion for humans, whose actions are truly run from deterministic unconscious processes. In both articles, there is some hero scientist, with the article most often based on that scientist's press release.
There is never a popular press article about how computers may never do consciousness, at least by any current definition of "computer," nor an article about how there are things human consciousness can do which no deterministic process can more than imperfectly mimic. Both of these positions are viable, and embraced by experts in various fields. By all current evidence, they may prove right. But it doesn't make for a hero story to write about someone who argues for these positions. "Discovering" that consciousness either essentially does nothing or that some computer advance is just about to do consciousness (or both!) is a "great" story. Editors like it. The public is impressed by the "brilliant" "counter-intuitive" revelation.
Long-term, established transportation companies with powerful lobbying arms or the newcomer making use of disruptive technology?
Who will win, long-term, established ecologies or kudzu?
Maybe it's inevitably kudzu, but does that mean we should cheer for it? Cancer is also a disruption. Should all laws be dissolved if they get in the way of anyone's business plan? Why insist on anyone having drivers licenses at all, let alone commercial ratings and proper insurance to carry fares? It would be cheaper to build cars without seat belts and airbags. Let's disrupt that!
A 14.10 system that my kid had an elaborate KDE desktop setup on, we upgraded to 15.04, and it totally lost his desktop arrangement. This had originally been Xubuntu, then with KDE installed, so not straight Kubuntu, and we were able to revert to using his old Xfce setup for now, which came through the upgrade okay. But it really was a bad experience losing his work with KDE that way. KDE is just the barest desktop now, which is frankly ugly and it seems it has lost features as well as his prior configuration.
well let's just say that our urban populations would not have the ability to switch hunting grounds
Where better to hunt? For some, having plentiful prey is the whole reason for urban living.
Uber is clearly racketeering. Are there special penalties there for it, as in the U.S.? There must be a solid extradition treaty between the two nations. If convicted, could the top Uber execs be facing years in Dutch prison?
Personally, I hope so. The idea that it's legal to be a crook as long as you're using smart phones and unlicensed contract labor to do it is pernicious. The Dutch literally invented capitalism. Let's hope they show the world again what it can be at its best, with the proper controls and ethics.
The decision doesn't have to be logical; it was unanimous.
