Why spend your own money when you can use your star power and proven track record to spend others' money. Nevermind, I forgot these guys are just paper billionaires but don't actually have any money, otherwise they'd pay a heck of a lot more in taxes.
To give benefit of doubt, author does state multiple times (including in the title) that these were "first impressions", so perhaps they should have mentioned something like "...In the next post, we'll explore performance and numbers" to avoid a cliffhanger situation, or do a part 1 (assuming the intention was to follow-up with a part 2).
The way I've come to think about this is that the relevance of the ad to you (as a YouTube viewer), is irrelevant. It matters not whether they are relevant to the content/topic of the video, or whether they are of the kind that SponsorBlock blocks, or those shown by YT algos. The ads serve one purpose, and one purpose alone - to bolster revenue for Google. What may have started out as a 'well-intentioned' (using the term loosely) means to recreate Costco-like ads for the digital realm in the early days of the web, was quickly consumed, like most everything else, by Corporate greed and morphed into a source of user frustration over time.
On Reddit, one reads comments more so for their entertainment value, rather than actual substance or relevance to the topic posted by the OP. Of course, this is not always true and tend to vary by sub-reddit.
I heard a lot about Mr. Robot so decided to check out the hype. Started watching with interest - the first episode really blew my mind when they started discussing GNOME and KDE, I was like wow I love this show already. Like you said the mental illness took over and I'm like this is going into la la land now - there's less hacking and more of a human angle, which is great and all, until you realize the human angle is superseding the hacking and computers, which is what drew me in in the first place. There's some real "holes in this firewall" if you get my meaning, and not in a good way. I guess part of me wanted it to be this really geeky show, but I suppose they might have gone too far already for the (comparatively) 'technologically challenged' populace already. I guess I will save my dime and wait to spend on Season 2 until after reviews are out. I hope they fix it.
I've been using dedicated (physically separate) disks for my OSes (I run Windows and some flavor of Unix or Linux at any given time) and find it is far easier and less time consuming to maintain physical separation. I get this is easier said than done on a Desktop class PC/workstation as opposed to, say, laptops, but then again there's no reason you couldn't hook up a relatively inexpensive external hard drive to run one of your *nix-y OSes. A quick 'F8' or 'F2' or whatever your variant of BIOS hotkey, will present a HDD selection menu to boot up the appropriate OS. Really makes me curious why folks still dual boot.
On the other hand, I personally think the chances that Snapchat (or its technology) will be acquired down the road are a lot higher than either Campbell or Chlorox.
As with most data breaches involving theft of personal information, especially the type that have the potential to exploit a single point of failure (otherwise known as your SSN) the affected company needs to offer credit protection and credit monitoring for a period of time. I sure hope Anthem has good re-insurance. By one account (http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2015/02/06/anthem-di...) it seems they were storing SSNs in the clear, which is probably akin to begging for something like this to happen in this day and age.
"Microsoft acquires Github" - with the other recent announcements of .NET framework and Roslyn moving to Github, and now this, it may seem the day is not too far off for those headlines to become reality.
I'm on a 2013 MBP and I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday. It was a textbook upgrade for me - zero hassle and everything works just as it should (so far anyway). A couple of quirks I've noticed vs. Mavericks is that a) the animations seem to stutter sometimes - I almost never had that with Mavericks. Perhaps since this is 10.10.0 that's to be expected but hope they fix that to buttery smooth in the performance update down the road. The other thing is RAM usage seems to have gone up significantly. I used to average around 2-3 GB used out of 8GB and now I find 5GB used - I haven't installed any additional software or tweaked any configuration settings - this is purely a Mavericks --> Yosemite in-place upgrade. Its still early hours so I've yet to explore the system fully, but apart from these 2 things it seems fairly solid so far. Contrary to the other comments, I don't quite seem to mind the full screen mechanics, although I would not have minded a '+' button and more discernible buttons in general.
I think he means running Docker natively on a Linux distro of choice, since LXC / Docker rely heavily on Linux kernel features to implement their functionality (these do not run natively on Mac/Windows/etc). You can't run Linux on a Mac other than running it inside a VM so the overhead as a result would be a drain on battery life (at least that's what I assume chatman means).
