They've been going 2 generations with each form factor. 7/8 were identical, X and XS are identical. I do appreciate that, even though I don't update every gen anyway (or even every two).

IFixit has a good article on it. Basically they couldn't get it to pass wireless emissions standards the way they wanted to do it (put your phone anywhere on the pad to charge not, not directly on the circle, etc).

Every single ER will charge every insurance company/plan differently, so that list would be pretty unreliable.

Massive amounts of money and a complicit FCC?

Right this minute? Yes, tech employees are better off in a lot of areas than say Amazon warehouse employees, but there's nothing saying that in 10 years the market won't be saturated and people won't be pressured into working 60-80 hours a week (which they already are at a lot of the huge firms).

It would be better to solidify these things before the industry takes a nose dive.

Not sure about desirable. I'm not a huge fan of the company/person with the most money to donate basically dictating the direction of our country (as it is now).

Wasn't Verizon given billions in subsidies for FTTH (which they installed on the east and west coast, the most profitable areas) and then sold off vast areas they didn't touch to companies like Frontier?

I need to use this for trials that I will probably forget about. Bookmarking now.

There are for sure features that I disagree with in Win10 like telemetry and automatic reboots while I'm using the computer (which has been resolved), but it's a far stretch to say they're ruining windows. I don't think I've ever had a full crash on my current Win10 box that I use daily. Driver issues are almost nonexistent. It does everything I need it to without issue. I'm not sure what else I would want from an OS.

We're going in that direction with cars as well (EVs specifically).

Nike has plenty over $200.

There doesn't seem to be a noticeable difference between their $80 and $240 shoes though.

It was on a curve. If you were already making over $15, you still got a raise.

edit: If you were making under $15, you could still be bumped higher than $15 as well. They raised the base rate and then there are still modifiers on top of that.

You're getting downvotes because this was not a transparent and open report. It was vague and was more advertise-y than postmortem-y.

Not saying Amazon is perfect by any means either, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Good postmortems give everyone ideas on how to solidify their own processes and prevent other issues. This was just fluff.

We're way past the point where you need to guard your laptop with your life because you'll lose everything, as he puts it. Anyone who isn't already backed up to at least 1 cloud service is stuck in the last decade.

It depends what interest rate the debt is. Borrowing at the scale of NYC probably gets rates lower than inflation.

That also could be because autopilot is only usable on highways (IIRC) and the fatality rate per accident on highways is much higher than standard town/city driving.

Either way there's not nearly enough data to draw conclusions from.

Flavor: Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server

Headline: Change resolution for VNC connections when running Headless

Description: There are no simple ways to do this. Even moderately versed in Linux, I cannot easily change the resolution without driver hacks that typically do not work.

Supporting nintendo is the point here I think. Everyone knows about emulators.

Yep - had a pug when I was younger who had a more pronounced snout. No breathing issues, didn't get super dirty in his folds, etc. His mother on the other hand had a super flat face and had all of the typical pug issues. The tiniest bit of a snout makes a huge difference.

Now I know who to blame real-time for this cold morning.

It was you, Minnesota.

Automatic failover with read-only replicas.

No master/master - that's the only thing I would consider missing compared to Oracle. It scales up, but not out. Peer to peer replication technically is master/master, but calling that clunky would be a kindness.

Yes SQL 2016 has native support for JSON, CTEs (this one has been in since 2005), and windowed functions I believe were also in 2005.

Some other massive improvements are Columnstore indexes for absolutely ridiculous OLAP data reads and compression (we are seeing 90% compression and < 1 sec instant lookup times on multi-billion-row fact tables).

Aren't those two pretty big upsides?
