More pixels is always better if you're coding. However 21:9 does nothing for me, they should double down and go 32:9 and allow two host controllers (and selectably just one to drive both). It'll save me a bit of desk space and one power cord...

Sure, but that includes the elderly and children and people who dont' work, and people who work in areas not eligible for H1Bs. There are, and this is a hotly debated number, perhaps 2.4M STEM related jobs (of which HP itself only employs a cross-section of) and of that under 10% are open. There are over 11 million STEM degreed americans out there who have given up on STEM, probably due to dropping salaries and incessant layoffs.

Anyway hopefully as HP lays off STEM job holders, the H1B count can be lowered by that number (some large fraction of 16K jobs). Of course that won't happen because salaries might go up.

They're doing a lot of good trying to recreate the market they killed in the first place!

It kind of works for AT&T, Verizon, et. al. They are perhaps slightly more polite "Pay me my money, or else I'll throttle your bandwidth", but the implication that we're subhuman garbage is clear.

In TFA, he surprisingly had some good criticisms of the actual device. Unfortunately all that made it to the summary was the bullshit reasons regarding people's misunderstanding and misuse of psychology, and/or his discomfort with not looking people in the eye. I see a future were we just get used to it, the same as we ignore people checking their phone already.

After we get past the nonsense, it seems the device itself has some design issues, though not all are issues i agree are issues (like maps using cellular data...I think that's the right way to do it unless the cell phone has wifi of course).

Yes and electric cars should also pay $1,000 in gas avoidance taxes to prop up the oil industry!

Even in the US protests have some constraints. Not on private property, no disruption of over people, etc.

The right to protest is in our constitution, but it is a right whether a government supports it or not. It's simply that some governments punish protestors more vigorously than others. We all remember pepper spray cop, even here where protesting is "allowed".

Yep, governments and corporations will probably ruin this otherwise good idea by filling the cars with backdoors, privacy-invading nonsense, and proprietary software.

Me: "Car, take me to work."

Car: "Welcome to the Ford Fiendas, sponsored by Walmart. You may skip this destination and proceed to, work, in 5 minutes."

Since all we got lately is "Dangerous Women", I'd say he's been loading everything into extended memory.

Poor guy has to dick with GRRM's autoexec.bat and config.sys every time he adds a new feast scene.

Seems backward to me. I set it to 70F in the summer and we let it drop to 64F in the winter. It's a balance of comfort and costs, I'd prefer it just below 70F year round but already at 70F in Texas we have quite the bill.

I live in Texas, the hell desk is very responsive to my prayers for lower temperatures. They don't call him the Prince of Lies for nothing.

In fairness, it's a dystopian nightmare only to over 99% of living humans. It works out quite nicely for everyone else.

Or is the invisible hand meant to wave this problem away?

It doesn't wave, it has this odd single finger gesture.

Everyone isn't! Our jail cells are just full of rebellious activists who tie people down and abuse them.

Possibly some of those are not allowed to post on slashdot, but your presence here suggests that's not quite as universal as expected.
