I’ve had both. I find the Disney+ app to be one of the better ones (on an Apple TV). Paramount wasn’t even in the same league.

Incidentally, $0.13748/kWh in generation costs, with an increase of only $0.01/kWh for exclusive wind/solar sourcing.
When I called a prominent bank* recently, I was asked to enter my password via the phone. As in, the digit-equivalent of my password. At least I finally figured out why their password length is capped so low - user experience!
*I began this post with the bank name, and then wondered if given their approach to security, even that might be a bad idea.
Ubuntu might be a little more difficult, depends on driver support I suppose. Most come with either no OS or Windows.
Here's a search for 17" + 1060/1070 + 4k. I'd probably stick with 1060 to keep some sort of handle on heat management unless you really need more. I've had a good experience ordering from here in the past (Sager NP8660, great machine with an unfortunately large power brick).

Almost all of the presentations I have seen at work have been shared with people on the phone as well (using terrible sharing tech, I might add). I agree with other posters that having an offline backup solution is important, but given how losing network connectivity already breaks meetings for us, I think having to load up from a USB drive would be an acceptable delay.
A portion of our meetings have demo sections. Either showing off features of some web app from their computer, or VNCing into a server and demo'ing functionality from terminals.
We have to hook up a computer to the projector in a room regardless - there isn't one already there. Having multiple presenters in one meeting would definitely go smoother, though it doesn't happen that often. Startup time would definitely be faster though, as noted our web conference software sucks.
I also like the idea (posted elsewhere) to be able to draw on the slides / point things out.
I loved the demo :)
Mine (RL Classic) asked me if I wanted to open the webpage and launched Safari.
Why do we have prefixes at all? Well, because developers want to start using new features before they've been fully standardized. Fine, understandable.
Browser developers make browser specific prefixes available, because you can't expect all browsers to roll out the same new features on the same day. Ok, that's one approach, but I can think of two others.
1) Don't wait for the entire standard to be formalized before expecting it to be implemented. A rolling standard approval process, if you will. It's basically what we have now where new features become available far ahead of the full standard, except prefixes won't be necessary because everyone will implement stuff on a rolling basis. That might be a little demanding of browser developers though, which leads to option 2...
2) Best effort evaluation iff you choose to use non-standardized features. Sort of how python lets you import from future, declare somewhere that you're using non-standardized features. After that, the browser switches to best effort mode, and just throws out any attributes it doesn't understand. When running in a dev environment mode, all these errors would show up, so you can see why things aren't behaving as intended if you're using an unimplemented feature.
The Settlers takes that a step further and emphasizes supply chain management, production bottlenecks, etc (and I thought it was a fun game, too)
Someone who was not the real owner of the apartment (presumably thief/criminal) put the place up on AirBnB. You unknowingly rented the place from this person, and during your stay, the real owner showed up and asked what you were doing in his house?
I admit, I was at work for the entire downtime so it didn't bother me, but I am pleased with their response to the situation. Hitting the big red button may be a drastic step in response to DDOS, but at least they were willing to take security seriously.
I like this. I sometimes find myself searching a page with the OP's name to check for responses. As for the rest though... I kind of like the "anonymity" of posting without a sig/avatar/anything because I don't do any pre-filtering of comments by user.
Weird that treatment would be so different across airlines.
Of course if I actually tried to navigate on the site, it would be a different story, I'm sure.
> Email is different from social networking because in an email application, each person maintains and owns their own address book, whereas in a social network your friends maintain their information and you just maintain a list of friends.
1) People are automatically added to my address book as soon as they email me. Maybe not my "personal" address book or whatever, but their address has been recorded regardless. This is not something I have to maintain, it happens as soon as you contact me.
2) If I change my primary email address I need to send out a blast mail to everyone who I might care to have my new address. A pain in the ass. I'd much prefer to have contact information pushed to me through, say, existing networks.
I honestly don't see a difference. I look at my address book as a "friends list" as well - just an annoying one that I need to keep up to date, instead of allowing my contacts to update as they need to. And if someone doesn't want me to have their contact information, why would we be friends in the first place? (I suppose you could fence off access to a select group, but really)
I really like that idea. Of course, the GPS tends to be a bit of a nag, so it might be hard for it to find enough pauses.
I don't have my GPS integrated with the car, so I can just let the GPS audio compete with the car audio, and adjust GPS volume to mess with the intrusiveness factor. After listening to the original sample... wow that would annoy me a lot.
However, I don't get why they're sending the payment to the blog's email address and not the NYT (disclaimer: don't know how the NYT blogs work). It seems to me Kachingle would be better applied at the site level. Given my limited understanding, I can definitely see how applying it at this granular level would annoy NYT - their paywall solution would make money for NYT first (and trickle down later) whereas this seems to make money for the bloggers first, and not for NYT. At the very least, payment should be split between NYT and the specific blogger. (And if this is incorrect and the payment is in fact going to NYT - then why on earth do they send it to so many different places?!)
I like the idea of Kachingle for reading across multiple sites, but the NYT blog situation just seems weird. No matter what though - assuming my evaluation is even correct - figuring this stuff out took way too much digging and reading on Kachingle's site.
On one hand, I understand this statement - afterall, you're getting those summer vacation months. On the other hand though... if I'm used to a salary of 80k/year, it's going to be quite a cut to go to 60k. I would have to spend the summer working somewhere else to make up the missing 20k, or else get used to a different standard of living. Maybe I can find a summer job that combines my ideas of vacation with earning some money (probably less than 20k with those goals), but the whole prospect is not that appealing yet.
People are willing to take paycuts for increased benefits, but here what we're saying is you're simply taking your 80k job and deciding not to work for three months. Sure, the annual salary is the same, but 60k is a lot less attractive than 80k. And of course it's not 60k today either, it's 45k with 15 in the future.
Anyhow, what I'm trying to say is that while the number manipulation makes things look better, 45k/y + summer vacation + 15k/y in pension does not sound like enough compensation to forgo that 80k/y engineering job yet. Especially if I need to deal with the hassle of finding alternate income for the summer months. Also, I would imagine that similarly to SF, NYC offers >80k for starting engineers (if only because of living costs).
I'm all for security in airports - and I'm not even particularly bothered by the idea of naked pictures floating around - but I am completely uninterested in a security blanket. If stuff slips through so easily by accident, how hard can it be for a determined person? :(
...As long as you're careful about doing this, of course. If the people behind you aren't paying enough attention to notice a slow decrease in speed (and can't see the reason you're slowing down), they'll be hitting the brakes hard to slow down when they're suddenly too close.
In hilly city driving (hi, SF), I will actually intentionally use my brakes to signal to the people behind me I'm trying to slow down, because there's often not enough space to notice when your line of site effectively stops at the next intersection's brief period of flat road. And yeah, this behavior was inspired by seeing someone rear-ended right behind me.
Is that a revision to methodology, or just an expected drop in users during the lull between seasons? I know I haven't been on Hulu since the season finales of my shows...
