You are not the only one, and I even have the Oculus DK1 in my closet, I have tried the various more mature hardware, but for some reason the experience is always lacking. I think VR would be absolutely awesome amusement park or gaming cafe experience where it's combined with other immersive hardware to create experiences that nobody can actually do at home. But just the headset for in home experience, it's pretty meh, like 3d cinema was.
I used to be one of those homeless people that officially don't exist about a decade ago, we didn't exist then and I'm sure they didn't exist now either.
This is fake news, almost nothing about this article is accurate or factual, homelessness is a problem in this country that usually is unearthed by investigative journalists because apparently we don't have homeless problem so we don't even keep an official record, but we get articles like this to pat ourselves in the back which makes this even more embarrassing. t. a 40yo finn
ARM is unique that there aren't many companies that could own it and it being a raw deal, it would have to be a company that doesn't have rivals in semiconductor or hardware space, so that basically rules out even buyers like Google or Microsoft. What that leaves are investment companies like Softbank or Berkshire, everything else is hurting someone.
Facebook is used in Myanmar to incite actual violence against a minority, it's been years since I have read any positive news about this company, maybe it's time to just stop using it and shut it down.
Great site, I'm a big fan of products that last long and are user serviceable, I recently bought a Dissim lighter because it's refillable and has a lifetime warranty.
It's hard to see, but I think he could have cut the plastic in the charger to let the rf blaster to function while it was connected to the charger. But it's always nice to hack old hardware instead of looking for a shortcut.
Anyone with experience doing freelancing did know exactly what the "gig economy" was behind the curtain, but media just didn't care, even if scores of their own employees are part of this new, hot and awesome "gig economy"
The funny part here is that Epic is partly owned by a Chinese company, just makes the whole 1984 just that more ironic, but hey, we live in a clown world now so get used to it.
Much of the stock market rally was created by this "create money out of thin air" scheme, it all usually finds it's way to the stock market since you have to park all the extra money somewhere. And due to interests being at zero or in some cases negative, only safe places to park all that new money is either stocks or metals which again rises their stock markets and the price of commodities, making large stock holders gain even more. The current financial system is just broken.
A doctor once said in some interview that if there really was a pill or treatment to enlarge your penis, you wouldn't need to market it through email, because everybody would know about it. I think crime prediction would follow the same rule.
I would find interesting if someone conducted a study, where they asked if the participant supports freedom of speech for various categories and their perceived ability to argue pro and con in that category, if it was possible to test their argumentation ability in said categories it would be also insightful. Mostly I suspect that while people hold strong beliefs, they don't have a deep enough understanding of it to rationalize why and argue if someone disagrees with them. In addition it would be interesting to know the participants readiness to enter an argument if they support the freedom of speech in each category.
I'm a hopeless optimist and romantic when it comes to software, and I really would have liked to see the covid app being done in some way that built confidence and inspired hope and optimism. My vision was that it could have been more like open source Eurovision where developers that participate had the chance to introduce themselves to the public, and some of the development and design could have been screen cast to us unfortunate souls trapped in our homes for months for some entertainment value and inspiration for budding developers. But eh, instead we get something good, something bad, but much of the same old same old, and in the end, I'm staying as far as I can from these apps as a result. Sad, there was a chance to do something amazing.
I have no opinion about Ninjutsu OS because I'm not the target market. But I would have never even heard about it without this DMCA complaint, and I presume many who might be interested in it heard about it first from news about this DMCA complaint. Just pointing this out.
I fully understand his reasoning and respect it as a principled action.
Though, viewing it from the company perspective it really isn't that easy to just do those things he is demanding, and doing it could just cause a misstep to even further in the hole. Twitter has taken a stand, but doing so they have invited a lot of scrutiny on them, and escalation to further actions that would just increase the pain, for the company and their community. On one hand you have the demand to widen their actions to cover almost anything on their platform, and if they don't they just appear hypocritical or worse politically motivated, further movement to this would harm their community and make their platform worse. Second the inevitable push back from various actors, like Ted Cruz with the Iran sanctions, and Trump pushing to throw away the Section 230, and who knows what else this all will lead to.
So making it sound like it's just a choice between coffee and frappuccino, instead of potentially throwing your whole company with the platform and it's community to a chaos, isn't a light decision. And making it sound like it is, isn't actually helping neither Twitter nor Facebook.
I'm not going to lie, if one of them switches shop and they make what they asked us, I'm going to report, in Finland law isn't selective even if it isn't enforced.
This has been a constant headache, not the rules or how to apply it, but our customers still act like there isn't such a thing like GDPR, and actively demand, DEMAND that we put in place functionality that is in clear violation of GDPR, and when you try to inform and explain to them who things work they get mad at me and threaten that they will get a more professional shop to do things for them shrugs
To me, it seems that they started to use mitigation strategies because they figured the time/economic variable that I pointed out, and realized the impossibility of their gamble.
The plan might face problems from time and economic perspective. Reaching herd immunity level might take way too long, even years, during which time most other countries are opening back up using mitigation strategies. Sweden meanwhile might be under travel restrictions imposed by other countries to ward off second wave, hindering their economy far longer than other countries.
It really does seem like a gamble, and I don't appreciate governments taking gambles.
Out of the things you mentioned and what you are looking for, the question might be simplified with technologies currently that will have legs. My opinion is Go, and my reasoning is it's probably going to be the same as if you started with C# back in the day when it was introduced. There is a large company behind it that is investing it the tech and stack, just like Microsoft isn't going to stop with C# anytime soon, I'd imagine Google is with Go on the long haul. I'm interested to hear opinions about this, since this is what I have chosen and reasoning behind it.
The other one is Javascript, just like PHP it's ubiquitous enough that it will offer opportunities on the long term, though they both have less high paying opportunities because there is a lot of supply to match the equally high demand.
One of the several reasons for Israel occupying Golan Heights was denying Syria access to Sea of Galilee which is a major supply of freshwater. Because of this, I regard that the first wars over water have already been fought, if not entirely for that reason, but as part of the motivation for actions. We are going to see more in the future for sure.
Another wikipedia article states this, which I based my assumption to.
>Mild climate and trade winds make neither heating nor cooling necessary, particularly in the highland cities and towns where some 90% of the population lives.
This is great, I think that vector tools need much more competition. I have used most of them through the years, obviously, Illustrator has been the main package for most of it, though recently I have switched more to Affinity Designer, Inkscape and Krita, which has basic vector tools these days. Though I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that VectorStyler is Mac exclusive which rules it out for me sadly. I have nothing against proprietary and paid software, but I do try to at least get one that is multi-platform since I use Windows and Linux.
But I have a lot of co-workers who use Mac and as a fellow Finn I'm absolutely going to ping them to this.
