_ Half of the video was about how he did not like the design. It's very similar to the old one but smaller. Arguably the line he dislikes so much is very functional, make it easier to disassemble parts.
_ He says it has not shrunk much, I disagree. 30% lighter is no small feat

Sure it doesn't have revolutionary features but this is not a ps6, no one expected it to

I can see the editing of id cards, it's a legal liability if someone creates a fake id, alter legal documents. I can see someone suing them if someone made fake identity documents used in a crime
I can see them limiting too complex queries because of the load if they are offloading it to the cloud... a lot of companies do that. one example is chatgpt. Some service is better than no service

of course there are workarounds and software that will allow you to do that... they are mostly covering their behinds

I have taken interviews from a lot of the top tier companies and they don't really care what school you went to, your scores, or even if you graduated from college.

This will help you a lot more than certifications:
_ Get a github account
_ contribute regularly, open source projects are good, if you can get a few projects of your own too
_ if you are a developer
          - go to leetcode/careercup/interviewbit and do most medium/hard interviews in your language of choice (python in most big interviews)
          - there is always an easy question: invert an array, string, search
          - there is always 1 question with linked lists, graphs, trees
          - get familiar with o(n) algo complexity
          - do lots of problems, learn to do it on a whiteboard, it;s about doing it fast with minimum mistake, practice
_ Look up behavioral interviews
            - be familiar with the star format
            - get familiar with the classic questions like "imagine a time you were overruled"
            - get multiple examples and response with all components of star format
            - practice saying responses, maybe with partner

There are a few companies that will look at certifications: (1) contractors, mostly government contractors to fulfill a role (2) staff augmenting companies.

but as a general rule, the most use I have had for certifications were for guiding learning and learning the vocabulary/process necessary to talk to stakeholders who did. They never prevented me from getting any job

only if it is heavy metal blasting... or maybe rock... it has to be loud enough :p

oh you don't mean that kind of metal, sorry :p

Yes they did.

I bet most people using the cloud would disagree.
_ virtual infrastructure is still considered infrastructure.
_ It also still needs to be setup, even if it is virtual

They setup their own infrastructure which is likely not used as much, with a new ai platform that is not as mature, hasn't had as much time to be optimized, without the advantage of using an infrastructure at scale

how is this news? could have been said of pretty much any service... database, hosting, ....

Arguably, it's more relevant to ask whether blue origin has a footprint there since he handed the reign of amazon to focus on space ventures (at least that's what he said)

Considering Cap Canaveral is there, it's not as far fetched

it's not always about size, it's how you use it... have they figured out how to use it yet?

May I suggest....
You get your particle accelerator
You get your particle accelerator
You get your particle accelerator
You get your particle accelerator

2 words, light sabers everyone, laser tags is for wussies .... [woble woble sound], Pew, Pew Pew, this is gonna be fun

Arguably there already are [partially] self-driving cars on the road.

Sure, you have safety drivers, systems that attempt to make sure the driver is attentive but ignoring that is ignoring the reality.

Systems will keep improving to a point it will make financial sense to mandate self-driving... like mandating emergency braking, rear view cameras. Legal frameworks and infrasructure (like v2v) are already being worked on.

Sure, it's not yet full self driving and things like cruise will be setbacks... but give it 10-20 years and before you say no, keep in mind 10 years ago, appart for very rare basic adaptive cruise control on high end cars (and even then, very rare), there was absolutely nothing on the market

I thought flash/flashy communications were disabled due to security issues?

only 2 years late

I'll bite :)

It starts by calling it a spacecraft... which it technically is.

All "things" like that floating in space (is that a better technical term for you? :p) will have a propulsion system to keep it from falling, position it. Those tiny little propulsion systems are called rockets and arguably the whole thingliboop (another technical term) with a propulsion system is a rocket... even if it likely won't reenter earth's atmosphere and
  won't ever make it to the moon. To use a car analogy because this is Slashdot, Even a toy car is still a car

It's pushing the definition, sure. A space craft is a better term but it's not entirely wrong either

_ as a dev, many times I'll type in localhost or my-dev-host-that-is-in-etc-hosts-and-resolves-perfectly.localdomain and unless things ends with a slash, it goes to search.
_ can they provide an option to stop obfuscating http / https ... and make it easier to edit urls?
_ can they make it less annoying when I access my own dev host https and provide a button that says I know wtf I am doing? I get why they are doing that but should make it easier for devs too
_ now that google + is gone, maybe they can reintroduce the + as a required term ... It's really anno

I understand they cater to people who don't know what they are doing, sometimes are but some "UI improvements" are particularely annoying sometimes

Earth the only known place to have fire... dude, please look up... on a good day, you may find particular place that is not particularly oxygen rich, illuminating the sky a few hours a day :p

Offices are not necessarily much more efficient.
- For one, you are assuming homes are not heated (a lot of places, homes are heated even when there is no one home to avoid pipes freezing)
- Homes have an existing footprint, people work within that home... buildings and office are extra infrastructure
- Offices have a lot of space that is unused a lot of the time. when workers are in meeting rooms, they are not using their desk and vice versa. when the office buildings are not in use, they still need to be heated

I'm not saying I have the exact answer but if you go that route, you can't assume there is zero waste even in an "workspace infrastructure optimized for work"

My point is you'd need an in depth study to quantify the gain if any
