How many years back do we have to go before Florida would be a good idea for a conference like this?

I wonder what the reaction will be from the companies hiring Google's advertising services. On the one hand, Google is clearly ensuring that they get as much money out of the deal as possible, but it also must lead to more people seeing the advertised brand, likely even encouraging it's sales. The author suggests that this is a bad deal for companies working with Google, as well as Google's users, but I can't help but think that the companies purchasing ads from Google are coming out ahead on this one.

Cajun seasoning will likely consist of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. I'll toss some cumin in there too, mostly because I toss cumin in anything I can.

Don't worry bro, if we make a terribly designed system that directly benefits our bottom line, we will totally fix it and make it fair. Trust us.

Yeah, the lightning connector is really great for being a reliable connection for a long period of time. If Apple had just made it an open standard that everyone could use, it would likely be the dominant connector today. At least, so long as some improvements could be made to data transfer and charging rates.

The only way that USB-C is better than lightning is all the things that a cable does

Begone Apple shill!

What's interesting to me is how differently C# scored vs Java.

My understanding is that the 'humans' of The Culture are a genetic melange of several different, but similar species who decided to merge with one another. They essentially chose the best genetic traits of each species and ran with those. It should be noted that Earth is not a part of The Culture, if it matters to OP that the humans in the story are Earthlings or not.

This is absolutely the right take on The Culture.

But to know for sure we’d need statistics which we don’t have.

Precisely my point.

It's basically just a really elaborate angry comment on a SanDisk SSD. Sucks that you lots your data, but it's a single failure that could happen to basically any drive. Back up what you care about. Absolute waste of time 'article.'
