I have a better demand response program. During low demand charge the bitcoin miners $.10/KWH. When the grid approaches capacity charge them $10.00/KWH. I predict they will reduce their usage dramatically when needed and you don't have to pay them a cent.
If someone is writing software for an iPad and they're using more than 5 GB of RAM, more than 5 BILLION bytes, they just might be f...ing clueless about programming.
Sigh. Said with the same mindset that said way back when "640K ought to be enough for anybody." (No, Bill Gates didn't actually say that but he still gets credit for it).
If Paler did this as a publicity stunt then this is more evidence that they are idiots. It's very easy to start a law suit, it can be a lot harder to get out of one (look what happened when SCO sued IBM).
You do know that drug companies hate vaccines? The economics of a vaccine are terrible. You go to all that expense (research/development plus trials with 10s of thousands of participants isn't cheap) and then each user only gets 1 (or maybe 2) doses of the vaccine.
Compare that with something like blood pressure medication. Do the same research/development/trials expense and now each user is buying that drug from you daily for the rest of their life.
Drug companies are by no means blameless but I'd tone down the cynicism in relation to vaccines.
Unfortunately, my experience is that battery powered Wifi cameras do not support RTSP. I bought (and returned) 2 different models and neither one supported RTSP. Looking around, I didn't find any that advertised that support. I'm guessing that, since the battery powered cameras are so concerned about power usage they don't want to stream anything (the question of why they don't just pause the streaming and pick up again when motion is detected is left as an exercise for the reader).
Ultimately, I had to punch a hole through the wall and use a Power over Ethernet camera (lots of those models available). Using rtsp-simple-server to multiplex the camera stream (don't try and attach multiple RTSP clients to a camera, my experience is that the CPU in the camera can only support about 2 clients - if you're lucky) it's easy to set up your cameras on your local LAN and then use any RTSP client (like MPV) to view the streams. I even have a background process running FFMPEG to save a weeks worth of streams on my local file server.
in re: symbols change between Swift versions
In Apple's defense, xcode does a pretty good job of dealing with this issue. Clicking on the error in xcode has always presented me with an option `symbol foo has changed to bar, fix it?'. Annoying as this issue is it's easy to deal with.
In re: Battery swelled up
If you refer to the battery expanding physically then I predict (I hate Apple products so I don't know that much about them) that your MacBook Pro has a LiPo battery and you leave it plugged in all the time. LiPo's don't like being charged all the time, they out gass and swell up (I've destroyed 3 phones that way). My solution is to put the charger on a timer so it's off overnight. That should give the LiPo a chance to recover without swelling up.
The Daily Show on Comedy Central did just that:
send or receive classified materials over an unclassified network,
You mean like when he did exactly that: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/08/...
And no, just because this info originally came from a public news article doesn't allow an official from the government to then disclose it.
Seriously? You blame Obama for a court that was created in 1987 and legislation that was enacted during the Bush (the younger) administration.
Hate on Obama, that's fine (lots of people will join you) but please knock him for things he has some minimal responsibility for.
Oh, you wanted details. I'm 66, have been a computer programmer since 1972 and have worked at fortune 500 firms (ATT Bell Labs, Intel) and startups (5 people firms you've never heard of through VA Linux - the dot com bubble, good memories). Sorry but whether I've been the youngest or the oldest person in the department I've always been treated as an engineer, age has had no impact.
Admittedly, I work in a relatively small niche (Unix/Linux kernel programmer) that might have some small part in why this hadn't been an issue.
a conviction resulting in a prison term can prohibit you from ever getting a job...
Close, but not exactly. This is where the distinction between misdemeanor vs. felony comes into play. Misdemeanors (jail time up to 1 year) typically do not result in forfeiture of civil rights (you still get to vote) but may result in loss of privileges (as in losing your taxi license from a misdemeanor recless driving conviction). Felonies (any jail time over 1 year), on the other hand, you are absolutely right, these result in significant penalties (loss of job opportunities, can't vote,
This explains old TV shows where I didn't understand why the judged sentenced someone to `a year plus a day'. That extra day turned the punishment into a felony.

Do I understand this `feature` correctly? If I enable it then all of my contacts now have access to my wifi credentials. I can imagine that I might want this feature for my wife and kids but there is no way in hell I would want to do this for every contact in my list. My wife I trust but the friend of a friend that I just added to my contact list - not so much (although thinking about it maybe that should be reversed).
If that is truly the way this thing works then this is one of the more brain dead ideas some clueless program manager came up with (ranks right up there with the idiot that decided that email messages should be HTML formatted and should contain active content).
Much as we dislike the NSA I don't think anyone would argue that they are stupid. Morally bankrupt, ethically challenged, constitutionally wrong - yes, but stupid - no. Therefore the NSA clearly knows that this is a stupid idea and will never work and will never be implemented. I have to believe this is a negotiating ploy (ask for something totally outrageous so that you can be bargained down to something merely obnoxious - which is what you wanted all along).
That being the case then this must be their totally outrageous start. What do they really want that they will `settle` for?
Your mode of life will be changed to EBCDIC.
