Could be, but we don't know yet.

I'm not sure you can call this a big fuckup, we will have to wait for news about the cause.

Yes it is bad, very bad. But I'm sure they got all the redundancy in place and thought about so much more than we can imagine. But even then there might be some extreme event that will throw 'soot in the food'.

I think it is just great how this event is handled. Almost everybody I know knows the alternative alarm number. Police is in the streets so you can walk to them. And as far as we know there are no looters taking their chances.

So yeah, bad, but we have to wait before we can mark it as big fuckup.

Why do you think it is not used much by startups?

Might depend on the country but I know a lot of startups that use it because they learned it at school.

I guess Steam is not the problem but all the 32bit games and apps are.

I'm not sure the name is good because light tracing means 'ray tracing from the light to the camera'.

Light tracing gives the best results in theory, but it not very usefull because a lot of rays will be rendered without ever ending up in the camera. Which is ofcourse a waste of resourses.

Looks like this is a 'normal' path tracer.

I don't know if this is true. Most simple animals are very curious.

If it doesn't move => go check it out.

New currencies always fluctuate very much when they start because no one knows what the value is. Most of the time this will settle after some time (years) because then the market decided it's value.

I even think there are countries where the currency fluctuates more than Bitcoin.

I think the first step is to wake up. Really think about what impact the info addiction has on your life. Bucause if you don't it is very hard to see why you should change bad behavior.

The next step is taking babysteps because big steps most of the time don't work.

So for example start by turning off all notifications.

Then allow yourself to YouTube for only 2 hours a day instead of 3.

The Rubin Report has some interviews with Eckhart Tolle on YouTube right now with a lot of insights. And Peter Peterson is also someone who speaks a lot about these subjects.

What I also find a kind of 'freaky' is that it touches the object and then feels it is attached to something and says 'nope!'. And it is gone.

Ofcourse this is no proof but to me it shows some kind of intelligence.

Isn't this what AppleCare is for?

At least with Dell my experience is that they just come to you and replace what is broken and also replace what might have been broken.

But Dell computers can be opened and components can be easily replaced (most of the time without tools).

As others point out this is the disadvantage of Apple laptops. Not to speak of the Microsoft surface which gets a score of zero @ iFixit.

A great manager helps you to get the job done.

Input from customers at the right time.

Keeps the team together and customers happy.

Knows when the team must work uninterrupted.

Does her best to give you the best available workspace and tools.

The best managers are servant of both the customer and team..

To me the succes of Slack also shows how invaluable it is.

Companies jumped to it very easily. Everybody just started using it. And the moment something better comes along Slack will be forgotten.

I think this is different from Facebook. Company employees come and go so they don't value what they put on Slack very much. And for companies the history on slack is also not very important.

Well that's how I see how Slack is being used inside different companies.

Yeah well those people who don't want governments to have control benefit and make use of everything tax has built.

Anarchy is a voice against too much control but as a solution to world problems a very stupid idea.

Yes ofcourse they will.

When a county doesn't receive tax it will be a very big problem.

So countries need to be in control of the flow of money.

It is also a very big problem is an outsider can change the value of your own currency. So you don't want US companies taking over your money flow.

For me the 'magic' of BASICs line function helped me a lot to start coding because I could 'see' the results and was blown away by the graphics.

Therefore I would go for Processing, which is a kind of Java. Or even the online version https://p5js.org/ which integrates the HTML DOM.

And ofcourse follow The Coding Train with Daniel Shiffman. Fun to watch and he has video's for starters and experienced coders.

"We are working to bring Calibra to as many countries as possible, as soon as we can."

I hope my country won't allow a currency controlled by a foreign company.

The power of companies is already influencing democracy in a bad way.

Not a lot of people know this but Google Glass was very popular amongst farmers.

And this is also a robot that could benefit farmers.

I also can see those robots carry stuff around. For example for a plumber who has a job in a city with parking problems.

Ofcourse all those applications depend on the price but there will always be people who can think if this as a tool in a way you can't think of.

Yes this also fits the note on Basecamp: "as it’s out there it may as well be out there".

I don't think they would say this if a hacker was holding it back for ransom.

So the hacker tried to sell it for $150000 but now everyone can buy it for $18.

I was a little shocked that my new smartphone didn't have a notification LED. But actually this is one of the best 'features' of the device.

They also don't make it clear what the difference between iPro and Pro is (desktop vs workstation). When you know this, the prices can be seen with different eyes (except for the stand maybe).

For example the top range workstations from HP are over $10,000.

And you can buy a Sony reference monitor for $20,000.

But I still don't know what market Apple is targeting. Most of Hollywood is using Windows and Linux. So it will be hard to get them back.

Maybe they target audio shops who are still mostly on MacOS.

Or they have a surprise for us all. For example: Apple is working hard with OTOY to make real-time rendering very fast with Metal. If this boost is so great maybe they can get back marketshare in Hollywood.

But until then I think only the real fans will buy a Pro.

Video, CAD/CAM, research will be using Windows and Linux for now I guess.
