Google 'screwed over' its non-millennials – now they can all fight back • The Register

Google 'screwed over' its non-millennials – now they can all fight back • The Register: "By certifying the case, the court allows the plaintiffs to take on Google's legal might as a combined force, rather than individually. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of a favorable settlement from Cali-based Google.

The complaint, originally filed in April of 2015, claims that Google discriminates against job candidates over the age of 40 when screening them. The suit accuses Google of violating the US Age Discrimination in Employment Act."

A fairly obvious and simple explanation why Android can't even get copy and paste working correctly. The employees are too young to remember how copy and paste are actually supposed to work.

Google's Pixel XL priced like Apple's iPhone 7 Plus but is half as fast, lacks many key features

Google's Pixel XL priced like Apple's iPhone 7 Plus but is half as fast, lacks many key features: "In a departure from previous Nexus phones that aimed to deliver Android on a budget, Google's HTC-built Pixel XL demands Apple's price, starting at $769 for the 32-gigabyte version. It offers the same 128-gigabyte option for $100 more, but lacks the largest 256-gigabyte storage tier available on iPhone 7 Plus."

Half the phone for the same price, what a proposition!

Programmable chips turning Azure into a supercomputing powerhouse | Ars Technica

Programmable chips turning Azure into a supercomputing powerhouse | Ars Technica: "That PCIe interface is shared with the virtual machines directly, giving the virtual machines the power to send and receive network traffic without having to bounce it through the host first. The result? Azure virtual machines can push 25 gigabits per second of network traffic, with a latency of 100 microseconds. That's a tenfold latency improvement and can be done without demanding any host CPU resources."

MSFT rolls out some cool tech.
