Whaaaaaaaaaaat? AMD and nVidia has a quite well optimized proprietary OpenGL engine following the latest standards, Intel has not. Intel is doing it open source because who could possibly benefit, Matrox? They have about 0.00% market share these days. AMD and nVidia already has engines doing it better. They got nothing to lose and a fair bit to gain from doing it open source. You have to be pretty deaf, blind and dumb to not see that AMD and nVidia has a competitive advantage they don't want to give away. Mesa is about 5 years behind OpenGL, in terms of hardware sales that's forever.

That's the wrong end to start in, if removing the resource limitation is trivial that's a better solution than any resource management system, whether good or bad. At least if you're fixing this problem for you and not rolling out a resource-gobbling solution to a million devices. Before lots of applications running at the same time would trash the disk, with an SSD I just don't care since at >10000 IOPS it serves everything at once. The side effect is of course that I'm becoming more indifferent to inefficient solutions, but as long as it doesn't make a difference in practice I don't care.

YMMV but personally I hate parallel parking with my no assist, no camera, no proximity sensor car. I hate trying to predict through the mirrors how far I got left until I bump into someone, mostly I'm overcautious meaning it takes me way too many cycles of back and forth. And even minor superficial damage is very expensive if they get need to get it fixed through their insurance company, which I'm either paying out of pocket or suffering a big bonus loss.

I've tried using more modern cars with sensors/cameras, honestly that makes it quite easy. But once you're there it's not really a big step cost-wise to just let the car assist you, though I do consider a bit useless half-step. I'd rather have a fully automatic system, but I guess they're not ready for that quite yet. I guess it's coming sooner than the self driving car though.

Like a tram or train or whatever you pull the emergency brake.

My guess it means you'd buy the kind of car you need 90% of the time, in my case that'd be a one-seater with ~20 miles of range. When the whole family is going to the cabin, I call and get the big, long range vehicle and it'll deliver itself to my doorstep. And once I'm done, it'll return itself. Most of the annoyance of renting a car today is the overhead, secondly it's the insurance and any scratches or fender benders. With robot cars they shouldn't really be your fault, more like going on public transport where it's their problem if the bus hit/got hit by something.

The whole source code is available on GitHub once you sign up. You can share improvements with Epic or other licensees of the engine, but nobody else. Though I guess you'll have to replace the "if you make money you owe us royalties" bit, since science doesn't usually make money with something suited to who you want to pay. Just don't pretend it's open source, because it's definitively not.

And if you make your case and the boss disagrees would you accept the answer at face value? Or would you think the boss is a clueless PHB, playing favorites, falling for smooth talkers and credit stealers and so on that isn't giving you the wage you deserve? I'm guessing you'll see many disgruntled workers that think they're performing equal or better when they're not. I would like to see the anonymized payroll, with title to see the average/spread but I don't think knowing Steve, Alan, and Lucy make $5k more than me would be very beneficial for our working relationship.

Mesa has been about 5 years behind OpenGL, seems this follows the trend, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. After all it's not falling behind but it really doesn't seem to be closing any gaps either. So 4.0 is DirectX11 generation hardware, CodeWeavers have said they hope to have DX11 support in WINE within a year. That would be nice, several games I play that are no-go in WINE and would be at least one obstacle in going back to Linux.

The requirement has been for the "Designed for Windows [Version]" program, if you want to ship with the sticker, be an OEM partner and get the best pricing it's compulsory but it's not an install requirement. That would be stupid of Microsoft, since most pre-2012 machines wouldn't be able to update. Also for Win8 OEMs are required to give you a way to turn it off, for Win10 they're merely permitted. I'm sure some of them will be encouraged by Microsoft to disable it completely, to see if that'll draw anti-trust lawsuits. So not yet, but I bet it's coming soon....

1. Pretense: Find or create some kind of probable cause for a warrant. Doesn't in any way have to be related to what you're really looking for or anything you think he's really doing, just plausible enough to get rubber stamped by a friendly judge.
2. Fishing: Search through third parties like cell phone records, bank records, email records, social media records etc. under NDA, since the person won't know he can't challenge them.
3. Parallel construction: Using the information gathered above, find some law they're actually breaking and "randomly" catch them in the act. Preferably one that'll let you go through the rest of their belongings.
4. Fine tooth comb: Most people break the law in many small ways, just hit them with all of them. And even ones that won't stick, just to get the total and the defense burden high.
5. Buy high, sell low: Have the prosecution offer you a "deal" where you can either take 10% of a ridiculous figure or try it in full court, knowing a few of the lesser charges will stick so the prosecution won't look like a total sham,

Only 62 of 381 in the Facebook case were ever charged with any crime. The remaining 300+ are still totally unaware the government has seen through everything they've done on Facebook, since it's all under NDA. You can't challenge or suppress a warrant until the government tries to use it against you in a criminal case. This reminds me of the NSA wiretaps, since they've officially never admitted to wiretapping anybody there's nobody with standing to sue. It's a nice end-run around the constitution, that's for sure.

Long before that people will have figured out that speaking one of the big global/regional languages is useful. I wouldn't go so far as that we'll all join up on one language, but say one of the top 6 - Mandarin, English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Arabic. And I'd likely strike Hindi from that list, since like Portuguese, Bengali, French, Malay, German and Japanese (7-12) it has no significant tendency to spread beyond its current native regions. That is, if they ever get around to learning a second language since many people still aren't literate in their first.

A good example is Europe, the trend is extremely strong that secondary speakers of languages like German and French are down while English is up. India also seems to align on English, not Hindi. Africa is already using English, French and Portuguese as common languages, except much shorter in development. Same with SE Asia, what's a group from Myanmar (Burmese), Thailand (Thai), Malaysia (Malay) and Vietnam (Vietnamese) going to speak in common? Chinese or English. Maybe it's not as clear in the US where 300+ million already speak your language natively, but ours has ~5 million. Yeah, we're going to learn a bigger language.

In this particular case the requirements seem to be very low, any doofus can win the lottery and it doesn't require any elaborate explanations. You bought a lottery ticket, you won, lucky you. The lottery makes the payout and case closed, if that's all done why wouldn't you just make a bank transfer? As long as you do everything openly with the IRS and pay your taxes I don't see why they'd even look twice. The bank isn't likely to tell anyone because of client confidentiality, the winner just says he gave half to charity and the fraudster could just make up any excuse about an inheritance or whatever. It's not like the bank account has to match the story they're telling people.

Sure, if you're not using any GPL-only libraries and not taking any third party contributions without copyright assignment. Many of the big libraries are community projects, there's no single entity to dual license them so it doesn't matter what license you offer on your part. And for copyright assignment you can't just find code you need, they have to actively sign it over and not many will help you make money. Chances are pretty big your project will be forked by some of those who refuse and their GPL-only project will become the dominant one. And once ownership is divided, a dual license isn't coming back.

This is actually a pretty creepy possibility already on fairly "generic" sites, it's one thing that people know you read a newspaper. With a subscription though they could list exactly what articles you bothered to read and which you didn't.

Because the point of open source is having code shared with you by other developers. You own the code, you don't need a license. It's everybody else who has an interest in what license you pick. Those who favor copyleft want more GPL code so it'll snowball while others want to use is in proprietary products. How useful open source is to you is directly proportional to how many developers are using a license aligned with your interests. Why do you think RMS spends all his time promoting the GPL? Why did Apple pick a BSD kernel? It's all about the license, it matters to them what you pick. That's why.

Troll much?

Last I checked toddlers can't drive a car, sunny highway conditions or not.

Actually, they've already learned to recognize hand signals that indicate where they're going.

If you look at any of the videos where they show the cars "vision" of the world it does a damn good job of tracking cars, trucks, pedestrians and cyclists, spotting them in plenty time. You're right they don't do subtler things like make eye contact or consider if the person is drunk, but they're probably good at spotting someone swerving in their lane which is the second best thing.

Fact is, I don't know WTF some people are trying to do. I just keep my distance and speed such that I don't end up in a collision with them. So will presumably the Google car, here's a loose cannon on deck that doesn't drive like the other 95% so just give it a wide berth. You really don't have to figure them out to drive safely, you just need to recognize the signs to spot them.
