In reality, you're full of shit, reminiscing about a time that never existed.
You're citing the national average. A lot people in Silicon Valley had a lot of TVs in the 1970's. My family had six TVs. One neighbor ran a TV repair shop out of his garage and had several hundred older TVs available for sale.
Err...pretty much every room still has a TV??
This isn't the 1970's anymore. Hardly anyone has a TV for the toilet, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, family room, kitchen and garage. If you lived out in the country, one for the outhouse as well.
Don't most people...?
A lot of my friends in Silicon Valley have a giant TV in the living room. If they have kids, a smaller TV in the family room.
My bank shows the transaction gone from the source account and grayed out and marked "pending' in the receiving account.
I'm not seeing that behavior with the new design.
That is not a UI issue. It is a DB issue. They are waiting for confirmation that the transaction has been replicated. Replication is often done in batches with a minute or more of granularity.
Never had this problem with the old design.
So, why would fish be any different?
As a tropical fish owner, fish refers to one specie and fishes refer to many species.
Engineers at CTA.ai, an imaging-technology start-up in Poland, are trying to popularize a more comfortable alternative to the colonoscopy. To do so, they are using computer chips that are best known to video game fans. The chips are made by the Silicon Valley company Nvidia. Its technology can help sift speedily through images taken by pill-size sensors that patients swallow, allowing doctors to detect intestinal disorders 70 percent faster than if they pored over videos. As a result, procedures cost less and diagnoses are more accurate, said Mateusz Marmolowski, CTA’s chief executive. Health care applications like the one CTA is pioneering are among Nvidia’s many new targets. The company’s chips — known as graphics processing units, or GPUs — are finding homes in drones, robots, self-driving cars, servers, supercomputers and virtual-reality gear. A key reason for their spread is how rapidly the chips can handle complex artificial-intelligence tasks like image, facial and speech recognition. Excitement about A.I. applications has turned 24-year-old Nvidia into one of the technology sector’s hottest companies. Its stock-market value has swelled more than sevenfold in the past two years, topping $100 billion, and its revenue jumped 56 percent in the most recent quarter.
For drone users, Hurricane Harvey is likely to be the event that propelled unmanned aircraft to become integral parts of government and corporate disaster-recovery efforts. In the first six days after the storm hit, the Federal Aviation Administration issued more than 40 separate authorizations for emergency drone activities above flood-ravaged Houston and surrounding areas. They ranged from inspecting roadways to checking railroad tracks to assessing the condition of water plants, oil refineries and power lines. That total climbed above 70 last Friday and topped 100 by Sunday, including some flights prohibited under routine circumstances, according to people familiar with the details. Industry officials said all of the operations—except for a handful flown by media outlets—were conducted in conjunction with, or on behalf of, local, state or federal agencies. One person familiar with the details said certain applications were processed within hours, an unusually fast turnaround for federal safety regulators accustomed to days or weeks of analysis for such decisions. The scope and pace of approvals—advocated by drone proponents as essential tools to help search-and-recovery teams during natural emergencies—likely will boost momentum for longer-term industry and congressional drives to open up more airspace for broader commercial applications.
And why should I give a shit?
I'm apparently the first person on Slashdot who figured out how to monetize his trolls. My trolls find it unbearable that I'm laughing all the way to the coffee shop.
Please stop posting affiliate links, it's ruining Slashdot, you're no better than a bot.
I can't ruin what's already been ruined. What I'm doing isn't against the Slashdot TOS. Complain to management. Bitching in the comments won't change anything.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
