RDP8 also supports RDP over UDP which further enhances performance in high-latency scenarios. I'm assuming that is also not factored into that claim either
I kept waiting for the demo video to show any streaming video which they kept avoiding. VNC is ancient by industry standards. While this is convenient and the open license is helpful, there are far more mature remote desktop protocol stacks available commercially. PCoIP, RDP8, ICA/HDX, heck even HP's RGS cam handle streaming video and USB remoting.
In early 2013, guacamole would do video for a little bit, and then get desynchronized from the server. It would be pretty great while it lasted though...
I think they can, actually. I had a disagreement with someone on SO; this person subsequently went on a downvoting spree on my previous answers. I wasn't terribly worried about the points but e-mailed the mods to report the behaviour. I was told they would reverse the downvotes if the user persisted, but that they preferred not to get involved (for obvious reasons).
edit: I just looked at your profile and the deletion/banning of a user account will remove rep too, so I suppose in that manner a mod can "reverse" voting, but it's all or nothing. They have no way to flip individual votes.
edit2: Moderators are not employees of Stack Exchange, they are volunteers elected by the community. Of course employees can change whatever they feel like. This discussion is about the moderators.
Moderators can ask someone from the SE community team to look into it, and they can see individual votes and invalidate votes between certain users. The only cases where this actually happens are users using sock puppets to upvote themselves, colleagues/friends/family going through every post and upvoting everything or users targeting a specific user with a large number of downvotes.
The one thing they all have in common is a larger pattern of votes. SE does not act on individual votes, and emailing them about those is a waste of time.
The term "mod" is a red herring here. The engine will auto-reverse obviously targeted voting, and the community team reverses cases too subtle for the engine to handle, but that are clearly personally targeted.
I received metal cutlery on a Turkish Airlines ORD-IST flight in coach and a Delta EWR - AMS flight in first. It's definitely not a US restriction either.
The only decent thing on the internet I've seen on April 1 was when Slashdot went OMGPONIES! That was just silly funny.
Then they ruined it with their stream of fake shitty joke news.
I think next year I'm going to take the advice posted by someone else here and just take April 1 off. I'll just spend the day playing games or something else away from anything other people are doing.
What exactly is the tax benefit to giving away almost all of your wealth? Tax loopholes reduce your taxable income, which lowers your tax liability. I don't see how you can come out ahead giving away almost everything. Can you explain what you think he is exploiting and what the benefit could be?
This is misleading. 34 new cities in 9 metro areas are being evaluated for Google Fiber. This is far different than Google planning on delivering fiber to all 34 of these cities, like the article makes it seem.
The HN crowd baffles me sometimes. It seems to move between "This person is too old. They are disconnected from today's generation," and "This person is too young. They don't have the experience to share meaningful anecdotes."
At what age would this person's comments hold water? 25? 28? 30?
When someone is making statements about a global truth, such as the ability to be productive, experience is paramount. We all know you can pull off 80 hour weeks for a little bit before bad stuff happens, etc. It takes a bit of experience to learn what happens after a couple years of that.
When someone is talking about fashions or the popularity of new technologies etc, then being too old is going to make your opinion less useful as it's going to be harder for you to unlearn what you've already learned. This is generally far less of a problem and I really haven't seen much "This person is too old" on HN, but you do see it a lot on reddit as reddit attracts a very young crowd.
I think in this case it's actually relevant to mention age, because I'm more and more inclined to believe that while 60+ hours can be a good thing to do in your twenties, especially if your digital life is your social life, but that it rarely ever is a smart thing to do after you're thirty.
Young coders don't have that much experience yet and will often have to rely on their brawn rather than their wit which could perhaps make the 60+ hours thing a solid strategic choice.
As I've grown older I've found that I can deliver much more value with much less effort by being well rested and taking a step back to see what's actually the important thing to do.
Whether I'm doing so because I've become wiser or because I've become less effective in those long hours is a different question altogether of course.
You don't have to be a certain age for your comments to matter - it's specific to the scenario you're commenting on. Someone with 30+ years in the workforce has much more knowledge to comment on it that someone with only a few years.
This is the question. Apparently a sizeable number of teenagers and pre-teens have zero interest in FB. It's where their parents post cat pictures and make dinner plans. From what I understand, Kik, WhatsApp, and Snapchat are all what's "cool" with the under 18 crowd. This move may ensure that FB still has sufficient data to mine on this demographic in the future.
