I worked on a library that had to process PDFs and grabbed a bunch of PDFs from archive.org and other open sources for testing, and as I recall, about 2% of them had at least one JPEG2000 image. So if you're in the PDF space it's probably still worth considering.

If you need to generate miniatures from PDFs, you must handle JPEG2000 and JBIG

How long are you giving it for sleep to actually turn off? "Hybrid sleep", which is on by default now, can look like this - the monitor and peripherals will turn off first and then it can take another minute or so while the machine writes out its RAM for the hibernate portion.

Aviation isn't about unions though, it's a safety feature. There were a bunch of different roles at the company I worked for:

- High-level requirements author

- Low-level requirements author

- Coder

- Test author

- Test runner

and then each of those had a reviewer, for high-level requirements, low-level requirements, code review, test case review, test process and results review.

The FAA technically only requires that the author and reviewer for each step in the process are different, but the company tried to avoid having the same person write the requirements, code, and tests as well.

If Ethereum is forking because of contract problems, then an Ethereum contract problem is an Ethereum problem.

Wasn't the DAO supposed to be the first real app, and it failed so badly they had to hard-fork to fix it?

Isn't it functioning fine now though?

What happens when the next one is hacked to the same degree? I doubt a second fork will be tolerated.

The forkers have established - perhaps quite reasonably - the principle that Ethereum isn't a set of rules unto itself, but it includes the ability to right what are externally perceived as wrongs even when they are done by playing according to the internal rules. So the forkers have set a precedent for more forks, as needed, whenever the community as a whole decides some sufficiently impactful party is cheating the spirit, rather than the letter of the law.

Except that the whole value prop of Ethereum was supposed to be that the letter of the law was all, and the system would unconditionally and inviolably enforce it.

Yes, exactly. That got, semi-explicitly, changed in the fork. While remaining so in the nonfork.

Touche. Second real dApp?

There's not a lot of corporate jets with that kind of range. It's more Gulfstream ($60MM+) than Embraer, Lear, or Cessna (~$20MM).

Are 1Password's files not encrypted? Store it publicly on your web site, email it to your friends, print it out in base64 in a machine-readable font and keep copies pinned on the wall of your cube. You still have to remember one password but at least you're depending on crypto instead of Dropbox's security.

Exactly this. Or just store a copy on another device of yours, on a USB flash drive, etc.

Waterfox aims to get rid of some of these annoyances: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/.

It's definitely possible if you have root: http://tasker.wikidot.com/devicereboot.

Sure, sure. If you've flashed a non-stock firmware all sorts of useful things become possible.
