So the maintenance crew knows when one is burnt out and needs replaced. Simple.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

For that you don't need the bulb connected to the internet. There are a lot of alternatives.

Smart lightbulbs, smart fridges, smart watches, smart ovens... they are needed to offset the evident lack of smartness (I'm being extremely polite) of the owners.

Who was the dim bulb that invented these and didn't provide adequate protection?

Means candles are coming back in secure places, since you can't trust a light bulb anymore

So that we can build a world-wide ipv6 mesh network with all things connected.

A bug in the iOS WebView component allows an attacker to force someone's iPhone to dial any number, while also locking the user's interface for a few moments, preventing him to cancel the outgoing call. Safari is the new IE?
OK, IE is the new IE. And so is Edge. Maybe we should just give up on this whole browser thing. Go back to Telnet. Nothing bad ever happened then.

The bigger issue is: leprosy is so slow acting it can be years from initial infection until onset of symptoms. If detected, it is easily treated with antibiotics.

Facebook has succeeded in transmitting data at almost 20Gbps between two towers in Southern California in tests of a technology key to its plans to deliver internet service to rural areas using drones. Passing birds were only moderated poached

Facebook had drones for years now. They call them "users".

With C++11 we got variadic templates to allow defining a single template that can take an arbitrary number of parameters. Congrats on finally getting 'params' (modern!)
|
|
|
|

C introduced varargs, C++ inherited them.
Here they are talking about template arguments, not function arguments. Java/C# and most "modern" languages have no equivalent to templates. Generic classes in those two languages are a pale, inferior and inefficient imitation.

... and a half dozen years after I first started seeing hype about variadic templates I finally see a plain english explanation of why I should care.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft describes the feature as a way to control external monitors with a tablet and no mouse. For those who've always wanted to use their expensive tablets to replace a cheap mouse

Squeee!!!!
I read the article and I'm still not sure what the point of that feature is.

Sounds like something that was probably originally intended for Windows Phone 10. Being able to use your fondleslab as the touchpad would mean you'd only need a keyboard+monitor dock.
