The latest Roku Ultra does support AV1. It's ironic that no Google devices support AV1. https://www.roku.com/products/... https://developers.google.com/...

Reading the article you link, I could only find statements that old mature forests might not absorb carbon as much due to soil nutrients being limited. Where does it say the forest could be a positive producer or carbon?

I engineer avionics in far more challenging environments and longer required lifetimes. There's nothing preventing current generation photolithography from working in automobiles. Chip packaging and system design play a far larger role in determining successful operation. Any argument against today's IC feature sizes at ground level altitudes is incorrect.

This study only had a sample size of 20. While it makes a good point, more research is probably needed. Public understanding of climate change terminology

I think everyone should learn to program because it can used to be to teach formal logic and structured problem solving in an applied manner. I think that this will help in many areas of life, not just proficiency in using a computer.

I think a study of history would find that that we stand on the shoulders of giants in computing and too often claim old ideas as new. Indeed many useful implementations did exist. We should not use our inability to access something as an excuse to not recognize the amazing contributions of those before us.

Sorry, I wish I could converse more, but spring is coming and I have a lawn to prepare.

Seems like Manning got taken to task and that didn't even involve top secret data.

My I suggest Ada with just defined profiles?

FAA has an airworthiness directive (not safet to fly) against certain cockpit displays in the 777 and 787 because susceptibility to WiFi causing the displays to blank. No always the passenger's device the FAA is worried about not being made correctly. http://blog.apex.aero/ife/faa-highlights-emi-safety-concerns-eve-expected-relaxation-rules-ped/

From the research paper:

The lexicon has entries for about 24,200 word–sense pairs. The information from different senses of a word is combined by taking the union of all emotions associated with the different senses of the word. This resulted in a word-level emotion association lexicon for about 14,200 word types. These files are together referred to as the NRC Emotion Lexicon version 0.92.

The thing that disturbed me the most about his article was the last sentence:

Indeed, the most somber speculation I can make about A.D. 2014 is that in a society of enforced leisure, the most glorious single word in the vocabulary will have become work!

I kid, I kid. But this in pretty cool.

Of course this day is brought down by RMS

Now if only there was theme to make Unity look like Pinterest I wouldn't have to convince my wife that Linux was better, she would just know.

Actually, the Democrats had to compromise to get the votes within themselves. There was no expected votes from Republicans, except maybe Senator Snowe. Senator Nelson was bought out by the Cornhusker kickback, which was removed in the reconciliation process anyways.

If you file for patents on decade old techniques and then use those patents to sue for millions, you are a "troll"; regardless what else you do. How the Aussie government "invented WiFi" and sued its way to $430 million

Serious question. What minivan are you driving? I'm going to be in the market soon.
