Like boardgames (ones on boardgamegeek.com, not Monopoly)? It's a great hobby that requires interaction. It's great for ice-breaking imo. Most men need ice broken to make a connection, alcohol helps too. Some shared common thread like kids in the same school helps a lot. Joining a sports league is good too if that's your cup of tea, I've met a number of people that way. It's a good no-pressure way of interacting with your teammates.
My wife and I kid about it, but to me, emotional validation is the same as a lack of confidence. I have some unpopular beliefs, I don't need them to be validated by anyone. If I did, I would be a sheep.
I believe there is something more nuanced going on with Chromecast "casting" performance.
Netflix is fast obviously because you are just telling the chromecast to stream netflix itself, not "casting" it to chromecast. Same goes with youtube.
However "casting" performance for me is even worse than the described .3fps on my Chromebook Pixel that isn't running ChromeOS. And my LAN is fast enough to use mplayer over ssh/x-forwarding... Trying chrome tab casting in Debian on a Chromebook Pixel burns the Pixel up, with it being very obvious that the Pixel is the bottleneck.
Trying to video encode the "cast" tab without using hardware support maybe? I'm not sure, I haven't really investigated it further.
Is Chrome actually decoding the file then reencoding it / pushing raw video frames, or is it just streaming the file to the Chromecast? I suspect the later.
Tried it myself. Chrome plays the video fine itself. Trying to cast that tab to Chromecast has the CPU usage on the casting computer spike way up. This is not a network bandwidth issue.
Incidentally I've just discovered that my Roku can have local videos streamed to it from my S3. It works flawlessly.
I love how free speech works only one way. Imagine a different scenario whereas Eich contributed $1000 FOR gay marriage and people were asking him to step down. Oh wait, gay marriage is a human right IN YOUR OPINION. He's a bigot IN YOUR OPINION. So he should be afraid to vote or donate in his conscience. Maybe he simply believes marriage is between a man and a woman, nope, throw him to the wolves, can't havee an unpopular opinion!
You're correct, I thought that was expected behavior, my mistake.
TBH though, I'm surprised ASI didn't fix the problem, I'll have to look at the rules for insertion again.
Google might have technical advantages over their competitors, but as a developer and consumer, their name isn't exactly synonymous with customer service and when you're trusting a provider with your (critical) infrastructure, that's pretty important.
Quite possibly but if that's your only experience with them as a consumer, that's your (my) impression when evaluating them.
So maybe they'll gain customers that have had positive experiences with their paid services?
Plus, in my mind, I see Google with this huge AppEngine that's shared. Other services allow you a lot more flexibility to build your solution. Is this accurate? Not sure, but sometimes perception is reality in marketing.
From someone's who over 40, I'm glad he was candid. It's good to hear people's perspectives, they shouldn't be afraid to share their thoughts. Maybe by him sharing his story, other people will see that he was skeptical (like they may be), and saw a benefit in the end. His silence benefits no one. Please don't censor people.
Disappointed Windows Azure isn't listed. Ignoring the anti-anything Microsoft crowd, it's a stable easy-to-use reasonably (at least competitive) priced platform.
