It would be nice to know this statistics but how to gather the data?
If this is involuntary, only sober people would consent. Why take a risk?
Some sober people would refuse also, perhaps a small group.
So do they imply refuse" as "drunken" then?

I just found out you can buy a FF OS Phone for $80 on eBay (for development I suppose)

Well, I have looked at Wolfson - they specialize in audio (yes including silicon). Still find it interesting that they contribute to linux kernel along IBM's and Googles of the world. And Vision Engraving? Is this the same company: http://www.visionengravers.com/?

Wow - this seem such a niche market companies (with all due respect) for making top 10 contribution to linux kernel - interesting...

So hence CFD N-S equations are not (presently?) solvable, hence simulation is used to approximate the answer, would it mean, all imperfections of computations asides, that exact weather forecasting is not possible?

I suppose hence N-S equations do not have (yet?) mathematical proofs of solutions and smoothness, we cannot yet predict if precise weather forecasting is even theoretically possible?

Nope, you can format them with whatever, does not have to be xxxFAT anything.

But wait...it's a client speed up optimization. All in all it would cause the same amount of traffic just reordered to start pages render sooner.

As for Joe Human, his reaction time is at about 20ms. Hence @5% improvement would be theoretically "noticeable" in a 2 seconds page load. But unnoticeable if Joe Human would have to observe it relative to 2 seconds total. Likely even with a stop watch Joe H. would be in "error area". And 100ms would be an improvement on a 20s load which would challenge patience of any Joe H.

From improvement description:
"The primary drivers are: preloading images sooner, more aggressive use of idle network time, dynamically changing resource priorities, deprioritization of preloaded resources, and reduced bandwidth contention among images."

From TFA:
"when you add up those saved seconds across all Chrome users, it totals to more than 510 years of people’s time saved every week."

Now that's convincing argument.

I admit that squeezing that 5% of already well optimized code is a great achievement (technically) that may be head-deep in the law of diminishing returns (practically). But G$$gle can afford it.

Yea google, you're getting bigger and slower...gmail got so dog slow I am considering switching to hotmail, 5% is gonna go unnoticed by an average Joe.

If you have influence on the type of assignments they get, push them into more boring, less desired assignments (also less critical). They usually are aware of their situation and will be happy to grind through the bore and even more happy to be left alone. Also the rest of the team will be grateful for this effort.

Sir kindly please could you write me here which bank was it? ;-)

...perhaps it would be easier to visualize it? The frame buffer is just one bit-throw away...

Ditto..."border surveillance". I'd think we'd want border surveillance to be visible as deterrent, no?

Good points...I could use one in IKEA...
