These are the two linked statements — if she had had a dangerous ride, the consequences could have been worse (abduction in a foreign country etc.) than the consequences of a mugging in your own city.

And yet, according to some sources, as of May had the most players they've had since launch. [0]

Whatever beef you might have Niantic or the players of Pokemon Go, the numbers suggest that the game still has some stick, beyond novelty.

When tobacco advertising was banned from TV, literally all tobacco companies profited. It was a classic example of game theory - If one of them advertised, they all needed to advertise to keep up, but if none of them do (or were unable to because of regulations), they all profit because people were still buying tobacco.

(TL;DR: Yes, using one of this set of frameworks)

Reportedly does.

>If media codecs are supported by your Chromecast device, VLC only acts as a streaming server (which is battery consuming). If not, VLC will transcode and stream media, which is highly cpu and battery consuming.

Thank heavens we never invented copy and paste, would certainly make this more of an issue.

Perhaps 'The Design of Everyday Things' by Donald Norman?

Bit of a shame, I understand the reasoning, but I also understand how poor the existing YouTube app is to this day.

I'd be happy with ads, I'd be happy with not being able to download videos, I just wanted to get videos from channels I'd subscribed to and multitask with iOS' native PiP and ProTube let me do that.

Anyone interested in this might find some enlightenment in Glenn Fiddler's whitepaper. [1] It talks about the issues with TCP-based connections, WebSockets, QUIC, WebRTC and provides a solution (with code) to doing UDP in browser.

>Netflix is counting on Orange Is The New Black to help it add 3.2 million subscribers from April through June.

Netflix certainly think that's the case.

What happens if you use a USB-C->USB-C cable to connect your Nexus and Pixel? Does one charge the other? Does nothing happen? What about charging a Bluetooth keyboard that's USB-C? Is that possible with either of them? (I'm not being snarky, these are genuine questions, but the answer probably depends on the devices, keyboard, and cables used.)

I've found this so often, I have a dual Xeon and 16GB of RAM and a calculator of all things taking more than a second is unacceptable.

I got a popup inside the calculator asking for feedback about it once with an inbuilt form and submission. I can only assume it has toooooons of hidden away cruft that does everything but assist in calculating things.

Usually it's just a factor of the thin-ness of a laptop. Ethernet is not a small port and laptops that aren't heavy duty ultrabooks are regularly thinner than one, even at their thickest point.

Not parent, but I've had well over two thousand tabs in Firefox + Tree Style Tabs before. They're usually accumulated over a number of sessions. If you don't open a tab, the page itself isn't actually loader yet, so very, very rarely are more than 100 or so actually loaded. Every now I'll go through and cull, but my browsing experience is never really inhibited by them.

For me it's 100% how I browse now, I don't think I could go back. I only open links in new tabs (which places them as branches in the tree) and it's a wonderfully useful spatial/temporal way of showing history, which is also saved between sessions (so bookmarks don't really replace them)

Or the Netflix app on their smart TV, things like that will only get more common.

And I can't seem to edit my post, but your comment about it be a Cygwin replacement is spot on. It's definitely replaced the need for it almost entirely.

You can run things like VcXsrv or Xming, then you can pretty much run anything through them, including window managers. When WSL went mainline I had all sorts of fun playing with it, building Servo and VLC and running them in a tiling wm, just because I could. (Not exactly productive time though)

Ideal might've been to put a URL to image dumps on the NFC, spend a few seconds downloading, store them somewhere then run them in the emulator.

First time I've heard of this and it sounds lovely for the price. Have you heard of anyone trying to install RemixOS on the Android side? (if you got the dualboot version)

Typically the user should be primed, given reason for what the notifications will entail, how frequent they might be and so on. It makes users much more receptive to them if you tell then why they should want to have this optional feature enabled, rather than a blind notification popup in first launch.

The PS4-Pong example in the README has a YouTube video[1] so it's physically possible to run something with the HTML5 canvas renderer, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of instructions to do so up there.

As for the sparseness, definitely true, the SDK really doesn't have much in the way of functionality yet, but I'm kind of surprised by what they have so far.
