And only 90,000 more nails to go before your average non-tech user who has Facebook as their homepage drops them.
Until a replacement comes about and a large number of contacts move, it has become such a large part of these peoples lives it isn't going anywhere. Arguments and reasons don't sway them. Sadly.
I've never even been on facebook. But my girlfriend and extended family use it religiously. My dad and a couple of other members finally dropped it as the result of my rants but the rest (the vast majority) just think I'm suspicious and nutty and go right on posting their entire lives.
So, facebook can pretty much do as they please. And apparently they do.
Neither are any of the alternatives, really. The Jetson TK1 is a great little board, and it's significantly faster than the original ARM Chromebook (4x2.3GHz Cortex-A15 vs 2x1.7GHz). It also has a fan, so it should stay cool under prolonged load.
The TK1 is probably worth testing out and looks at least marginally faster in most tests, but it's worth pointing out that it seems nowhere near as much faster as its specs might suggest, and stability running under constant load is still an open question. Here's a couple benchmark comparisons courtesy of Phoronix: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1405010-KH-NVIDIATEG94,13...
(Still, if it were stable it seems like it's much preferable to having to individually mangle Chromebooks and the TK1 comes w/ Ubuntu preinstalled on it's eMMC. The bootloader can also be flashed to boot from SATA)
Thanks for the upload. I often wondered what really happened and this gets closer to the truth. Western media might be downplaying the events of June 4, 1989 because it hits too close to home.
A Techie here - I think, for example, literature is none of these. Every time I read Graham Greene, there are these terse sentences which leave me with admiration for his observation into human nature, and his masterly sardonic sarcasm - e.g. "I am easily moved to anger by cruelties not mine own" [ A Sort of Life ], or when describing how assurance in youth ends in doubts later "even our handwriting begins young and takes on the tired arabesques of time" [ The End of the Affair ], the sentences stay in your memory long after you've read them, and you see that pithy phrases can carry a world of experience behind them. Another great sentence - "We live as we dream - alone" [Conrad, Heart of Darkness]
Literature may be considered boring because it takes patience to appreciate, but I think it is neither primitive nor plain. If some programming reaches the level of art, as in a clever hack, maybe we can tell others about the beauty of the solution. (G. H. Hardy says that "Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not". At least history has not borne this out - people do find literature easily more beautiful than they do theorems and programs.)
"How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie cures all. Self-Esteem and physical exercise for healthy balance. Not so hard to figure out.
Haskell was designed by a committee, so it's going to be difficult to find ages for all of them, but Simon Peyton Jones, the best known of the creators, is 56.
Edit: for me at least.
