Nobody would pay to use the private system if they could get their needs met for free in the public system.

They might, if they thought there was an advantage to it. Like being seen more quickly, or getting a discount for something else.

If the entire world had access to free healthcare, chances are research and development would grind to a halt unless they also funded research and development. Taxpayers would need to be willing to pay a company hundreds of millions of dollars if they discovered a useful product.

I don’t see why it would. A company would still invest in research if they thought they had a chance to sell it to the healthcare system, for example. It wouldn’t be the first nor last time something like that happened, and the latter case isn’t too different from how it works already.

Consider insulin, for example. Research into it and drugs for treatment of diabetes doesn’t happen exclusively in the US.

More than a decade on, and it’s still one of the best kindles ever made, in my opinion.

You had physical buttons instead of a fiddly touch-screen, you could have music, have it read to you, and also go on the internet.

Plus it’s old enough it supports a bunch of formats, and registers as a mass storage device to a computer, so anything can use it.

Human drivers, if they could get LIDAR with their car, would probably also use it.

Why not aim for better than what humans can do?

Should just have it handle voting as well. They could call it Automatic Democracy.

None of that pesky informed voting, you can just instruct an AI company on what your stance is, and it’ll vote in your stead.

According to the article linked in the article, it’s not that the operating system itself is more demanding, but more that the DE, and Browsers/Websites are more demanding now.

It feels like that Canonical basically needs to do the games thing of having a set of minimum specs for Ubuntu to run at all, and a recommend specs for Ubuntu to run well. Canonically basically bumped up the latter, but it’s being taken as the former.

If memory serves, he also claimed to have been driving when he teleported into a ditch 50 miles away.

Which just comes across like he was driving when he really shouldn’t have been (Drunk/Tired and Emotional), and fallen asleep whilst on the road.

It’s odd, since they used to have a rather nice HTML web interface specifically for low-peformance devices, but it’s since gone away.

This doesn’t seem so bad, though. 2 GB more in about 10 years is pretty reasonable in terms of an increase.

It’s not like they doubled it.

Specifically using publicly available information that they could find on search engines.

They didn’t track them down with a PI or anything quite like that.

Poor spider. :c

50 GB in memory for a visual studio/programming project being a bigger project seems like rather an understatement, unless you’re working on machine learning, simulations, or something of that nature.

Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled?

If they had done a Google and sold GPU-compute cloud services, they could probably have made quite a tidy sum. Everyone wants compute.

Especially if they can achieve their goal of keeping it alive for months.

Right now, we can only safely do it for hours. Potentially months is a massive improvement.

The oil crisis isn’t quite that bad yet.

This feels like it’s trying to skirt unions/regulations. The teachers aren’t actually teachers, they’re “guides”, which is a completely different thing entirely.

TP-Link is Chinese.
