If you're satisfied living on $1.50 a day, congratulations. Most people find that when they don't have to work to survive though they can work for fun or profit, or actually even both.
Yes, of course if they actually ever release it they'll have some crappy software x86 emulation based on bootlegged parts of wine. And yes, of course the performance will drag really hard and Microsoft will just blame the ARM architecture concept as a whole and use it as an excuse to sell users an "upgraded" ATOM model next year.
Also this announcement gives Qualcomm's new processor a ton of free press. Even if Microsoft scraps this project they'll certainly find new buyers for them based on this press release alone.
Surprisingly, only 80% is to keep you too busy to get hired away. That other 10% is to keep you from being influenced by or contributing meaningfully to GNU software in your free time.
The sad thing is that I actually now believe these type of people you allude to really do exist; The type of people who see no math error in the notion that you can replace IT professionals by outsourcing to... something that isn't just some other country's IT professionals??
Any citizen has the right to sue the government to demand release of any information that is not confidential for the sake of national security. The EFF just also has the knowledge and resources to catch them hiding something illegally and succeed in forcing their hands.
Places exist. They don't have the market saturation or visibility that RadioShack locations had, but if you live in a big city you'll find people still need electronics stores that cater to people who need to actually get work done and aren't just shopping for toys.
Well, if they've been storing them since 2012 you'd expect some duplicates. But I agree that I would expect closer to 2-photos-per-Vermonter, given that time frame. It does bring up the question of whether they had actually been collecting photos for longer than reported, or if their servers were doubling as storage for some prior inherited database of also ill-gotten headshots.
There's no way this isn't happening everywhere. Camera detectors are actually a real thing now. I advise you all invest in them. Know when you're being filmed secretly as well as in plain sight. Make sure to ask the questions about where the data is going and what it's being used for and how well it's being secured. Be vigilant, people.
No, the truth is more that a semi-common hallucination for pot heads to have is thinking they're dying. A non-zero amount of these idiots will actually call emergency services while freaking out. The weed isn't significantly more dangerous physically if you exclude possible long-term lung damage, it's just a lot more likely to freak you out to the point your dumb ass calls the cops on yourself.
Consumers trust medical doctors and healthcare professionals/researchers to design and commission surgical robots generally in good faith.
They equally certainly expect banks to try to rob them at every turn while cutting every possible security and safety corner and then try to escape liability by any possible means.
Who do you think is really gonna make the best robots? They should have asked the users who's robots they'd trust more to manage their bank accounts. I guarantee the answer would surprise you.
I just thought it was funny how they implied JSON was somehow more human-readable and less prone to parsing errors, as though they hadn't actually ever tried doing this with XML to see.
So, the issue I see here is we've grievously mislabeled the political parties. The "conservatives," as they call themselves, are in fact authoritarians. The entire Republican party has actually now become the party of extreme authoritarianism. There's nothing even remotely conservative about their key views anymore. The label "conservative" they wield like torches and pitchforks is nothing but a weak but surprisingly effective disguise that they only really care to use to fool themselves. And make no mistake; Nothing offends them more than disrespecting what they perceive as their righteous authority. Once you realize that, the apparent madness of the situation evaporates and the big picture becomes completely clear.

... to 300 million unaware, unwilling customers? Brilliant! Maybe this explains why my resume seems so lackluster.
Ok. Now we have a bunch of extra money. Should we just spend it on drugs?

I think it's more reasonable to ask how hard they're willing to work to try to stop it.
Most consumers happily buy Android hardware that's not even close to this fast, and love it. Maybe you should just work on your patience?

Too bad you have to blow 3GB of it on advertisements.
Sadly he's not joking (or jocking, afaik) and that price is 99$ in the US - before taxes and "other fees."

Look up "The Freedom of Information Act."

So it's true, Doctors really suck at computers, don't they?
Imaginary scenario? Comcast is throttling all encrypted connections today. Go fuck yourself.

It doesn't sound as insightful when it's just an "I know you are, but what am I," type argument, is it?

It's not about lack of trust in robots here.
