HEVC provides similar image-quality at half the bitrates as H.264
That's the goal. Reality is not there yet, at least not for most applications. Results at the moment are more like 35-40% reduction, which is still excellent.
The 4K h.265 file sill be half the size of the 1080p h.264 file
I'd like some of the drugs you are taking. An H.265 file will be 35-50% of the size of the same file encoded with H.264. The idea that a 4K file will be half the size of a 1080p with the two different files encoded with H.265/H.264 is absurd, and seriously outside of even the most optimistic goals of the organization at the outset. The original goal was that the same file encoded with the same visual quality would be half the size. I've never seen that happen, I've seen somewhere between 35 and 40% at best, but the implementations are still improving.
I am still trying to figure out why all of those things that you mention require a remote connection or need to be tied in to the "entertainment" system. There should be zero possibility that "remote" commands could be sent to any of those systems. I would go so far as to say those circuits should all be encased in a faraday cage to prevent the circuits themselves from acting like an antenna.
For myself, I am pretty happy with many of the advances; however, I have had issues with drive-by-wire throttles and would hate to see a similar problem with drive-by-wire brakes. Some, dare I say most, of the systems on a vehicle should have a mechanical linkage to fall back on.
Why would Linux (or something like it) have not done better if there were 10 quirky brands about?
Because Linux was written specifically to learn about the x86 platform (specifically the 386). There was no multi-platform support until much later.
Why?
Well, because if we get used to doing such things, they become easier to do when it is important.
Why exercise? It is a pure waste of energy.
"We" need to get off of this planet. If not now, when? I am willing to bet then, it will be too late.

The EPA has less than half the budget of NASA. "Beggar thy neighbor" is a sucker's game.
LOL. Odd, I thought he was talking the CIA/NSA budgets. It is weird how the same words can be perceived differently by different people.
For regular mail, I'm like you guys, Google's spam filtering does a fantastic job. I never check my spam folder any more, unless I'm expecting an email and it doesn't arrive, but it's been ages since I had a false positive.
I will check my spam folder from time to time just to see what kind of spam is out there. I always like the 419 style scams. I rarely, very rarely, find any real mail in the spam folder. In fact, the few times I have found real mail in the spam folder, it was spammy in nature not a true communication that I valued.
Really, kudos to the Google spam team.
I hope you did not buy the vehicle that you are having problems with. If so, I would seriously looking at returning it for a full refund as defective merchandise.
I am guessing all new cars are off the list now. GM has OnStar, Ford has shit that remembers where you drive, and Chrysler has buggy, remotely exploitable software. All of them have stuff that let's someone else control your vehicle.
What the fuck? Who would buy something like that? Perhaps the consumer just does not know...
But even at 80% in-house at SpaceX, looks like that remaining 20% still bit them : Seriously, failing at 1/5th the rated failure value? The vendor might as well have given them a cardboard cutout with the word "strut" written on it in sharpie.
Indeed. I wonder if SpaceX can sue the supplier? I wonder what the contract terms were.
Updating from daily builds? Hobby OS.
Upgrading to new OS immediately after release? Thanks for finding all those zero-day exploits and rare bugs for the rest of us when we eventually upgrade.
Applying ONLY critical patches, and even then only when thoroughly vetted? You're using your computer to do actual work, and can't afford downtime.
Odd. My update patterns do not fit on your axis.
I furiously update and live on the bleeding edge until I find something that works well and the way I would like it to work. I then only update for security purposes or because the software will not run anymore due to changing hardware (X64) or changing software environment (GLIBC).
In other words, what you are saying is most important you, stability, is not what is most important to me, usability. What is most important to a person will determine that person's update patterns.
For others, it is familiarity instead of stability or usability. That is why I find your axis to be limited.
I grew up way before the Internet became a reality to the wide world. Scams are scams. "On the internet" is not enough to garner a patent, it is not enough to garner a new name for an old art: Scam.
If you can fall for a scam on the Internet, you can fall for one through plain old snail mail. The Internet just makes communications quicker and exposure more likely.
Instead, the point is that there exists a systematic, cultural, and longstanding bias against encouraging and fostering scientific and mathematical proficiency in female students
Fuck you. Prove it. I am sick of this shit. When I went to school way way way back in the mists of time, girls were encouraged over boys. My own son dealt with this shit too... and yet girls are STILL not at the top of the heap.
Stop abusing boys. You can not force girls to be on top of the heap... and this is nature: There will be a heap. Deal with it asshole. All you are doing is creating misogyny.
Nothing like fifteen tons of uncontrollable truck sliding at freeway speeds toward a stupid motorist that cut-off the truck...
I am cool with this. Darwinism in action. My only concern is for the truck driver.
