What ever happened to the seemingly amazing MS Research system that was demoed in 2012?

I had a similar idea, but I wanted to do it properly, with markup: define sections with time ranges, properties for effects like fade in/out, auto-pause, HTML+CSS blocks. Initially it would be driven by the JS, but once things settle, maybe the browsers would standardize it.

How is it that the vast majority of NBA players are black?

A prevalence if race X in some area is not the evidence of discrimination.

You can't fight discrimination with discrimination. You fight it with equality. Equal rights and access for everyone. Base it on merit, not the color of skin or the shape of the genitals.

That's sexist and racist. Imagine someone made a fund for only white males.

> Give them a chance to undo their wrongs

Unless you can raise the dead, I don't think there's much you can "undo".

In any case, if you can afford to drop 10% of your audience, you're not in a serious business.

> Republicans evaluate things on a civilization/savagery axis

By pushing creationism into schools? By denying gay rights? By pushing anti-abortion nonsense?

That's so incorrect.

> "Correct horse battery staple" and using it as your password, is better than using "p455w0rd!1"

It's nearly identical.

There are around 170,000 english words (including all the obscure ones you've never heard and have no idea how to spell).

Number of 4-word combinations:

    170,000^4 = 8.35 * 10^20

Lowercase (26) + uppercase (26) + digits (10) + special characters (36) = 98 characters

   98^10 = 8.17 * 10^19

An order of magnitude difference.

And if they start bruteforcing with the simpler words (which you used in the example), there are only 5,000 - 10,000 of them, the number of your combinations drops dramatically:

    5,000^4 = 6.25 * 10^14

    10,000^4 = 10^16

So unless you use very obscure words in your password, you are doing much worse than you think.

It locked a Chrome tab. I saw a message saying something like "Taking longer than usual". Closed it after two minutes, still didn't load.

We're discussing SSDs, which has everything to do with high performance, and almost nothing with storage.

Not worth it? If you can make it efficient, you're a millionaire, considering current bitcoin prices. Make any decently popular website, and you have access to thousands of mining computers.

There's no way that announcement will cause panic and everyone attempting to withdraw their funds.

They are royally fucked.

EDIT: And how exactly do you misplace $700K at such early stages?

Bullshit. Watch Notch (creator of Minecraft) program. That guy is insanely efficient.

Steam games are more expensive in AUD because of a collusion, not because people make more.
