You don't see how violent rioting in response to an election is cause for the government to look into someone's background? Somehow, I bet you support mandatory background checks for buying firearms even for people with no history of violence or crime.
Stop using "begs the question" incorrectly, you clowns.
Further:
According to Facebook's legal guidelines, a search warrant, for example, could allow Facebook to give away content data including "messages, photos, videos, timeline posts, and location information." A subpoena or a court order would give authorities less information, but would still include the individual's "name, length of service, credit card information, email address(es), and a recent login/logout IP address(es).
What's the problem, exactly? One arrested individual is making this claim. Facebook says they do so with a court order, subpoena, or actual warrant. You need an actual warrant to get most info.
Now if you had evidence that Facebook was turning over tons of data on anyone who was simply at the protests without a warrant/subpoena/order, then we'd have a story.
PS players already have official support for mouse and keyboard.
Xbox players are the issue. Until Blizzard can convince MS to allow official mouse and keyboard support, Blizzard's stance will be that it fractures the player base, is unfair, etc. It's going to take a LOT of bitching / bribing to get MS to officially provide mouse and keyboard support on Xbox. Probably more than Blizzard thinks is worthwhile.
The goal here is to allow official mouse and keyboard support that Blizzard can detect. This way controller players get auto aim and mouse and keyboard players don't. You'll still have the issue of unofficial accessories that let people use a mouse and keyboard but emulating a controller transparently to the game. It'll be a cat & mouse game to detect and disallow these devices, as they'll be considered cheating (mouse and keyboard with auto aim).
The real issue is that Overwatch is a very arcadey FPS that's poorly balanced and runs at tick rate far too low to be considered competitive. Tournaments and custom games run at a higher rate, but console players and the majority of PC player don't get that experience. Instead they get awful matchmaking that Blizzard is now trying to blame on the "problem" of mouse and keyboard users on console.
I'm a bit disturbed to see Musk sucking up to Trump. Does anyone have a reliable source on why he's doing it?
My guess: Then they met Trump told him flat out that they wouldn't be awarding him any big government/military contracts for their shit (from solar to AI to space) if they can't strongly vet any engineers or high level staff of foreign origin.
The executive branch has control over border crossings, and can honor or revoke visas.
If Trump were deporting visa holders already in the country, I'd be bitching about it loudly. He's not. He's securing the border as he is empowered to do. I don't agree with the way it's being done but I agree with him being able to do it.
Yup, the fact that they're all against it (and wrongfully claiming it's illegal) is evidence that, overall, it's a good thing. They ONLY care about their H1-B labor and their image. They don't give a shit about the genuine employee trying to get back in to work or the family divided by the new border crossing rules.
If these 97 companies said "Every employee affected by this will receive full pay and benefits while stuck beyond the border despite not working, have a guaranteed job when they return, and their families here will receive help as needed until that time.", then maybe I'd listen.
I'm fairly indifferent to the order itself, especially since it's nothing unusual (see Obama), but I'm LOVING the shitshow from the media, the millennials, that idiot judge, and now these corps. They're so absolutely ignorant, hypocritical, and downright wrong that all their flailing and whinging and rioting is just helping to guarantee another 4 years of Trump.
The media kept crowing about "the first 100 days", and Trump did exactly what he said he was going to on day 1. Trump is the "fuck you" President, and the media simply doesn't know how to respond. They failed to get Hillary elected and they can't find any actual reason to get him impeached and recalled. Trump doesn't give a shit about public opinion, and the Republicans have control of Congress (and let's face it, they'll soon have control over the Supreme Court).
If you don't like Trump or his policies you better spend the next 3 years constructing actual arguments rooted in fact and come up with some alternatives that don't treat vast swaths of American citizens as racists, sexists, xenophobes, idiots, etc. I sure as fuck didn't vote for Trump, but I'm enjoying the show so far.
This is what the DNC gets for backstabbing Bernie Sanders. He would have won against Trump, and I would have likely voted for him (I did in the primary) despite disagreeing with him on many things. It's the GOP & Ron Paul all over again.
There are less than 900 NES games (licensed and unlicensed). Call is 1024. The ROMS are measured in dozens to hundreds of KBs. Call it 256 KB on average.
If you had every game, it would be about 256 MB. Emulators incorporate automatic zip decompression, though I do not know if this is a thing on Android NES emulators.
Ah the old "Donald Trump is fine because other people are doing things I don't like".
I do love how even the most ardent of Trumpanzees are utterly unable to actually provide words of support. That's quite telling.
No, Donald Trump is fine because so far he hasn't done anything unconstitutional or even wrong. He's done things he's promised to do. Yes, he's an ass and a clown. So what?
Until he does something that's actually unconstitutional or reprehensible, shut the fuck up. Disagreeing with the new border control policies doesn't make him a tyrant. You people are actively sowing dissent and the seeds of violence. Where were you when Obama expanded the gitmo torture program? Where were you when Obama executed an American citizen via drone strike without due process?
Have you ever taken AI class in college? What do you think they teach you, how to develop conscious robots?
I have. Machine Learning and AI were separate courses. In the Machine Learning course you get a lot of practical shit and some theory.
In the AI course you get a lot of theory and some practical shit. Terms like "neural net" and "deep learning" are bandied about and there's talk about current research working to simulate a brain to some degree or use organic/fuzzy computing of some sort to mimic the brain's functions. On the practical side, it's all just the same "machine learning" shit from the previous course, but with clever feedback and bootstrapping mechanisms.
I'm not knocking either course (they were pretty good and the same professor ran both courses). But the state of AI is no where near creating something that could pass as intelligence, even if some pieces can surpass human ability in certain tasks or mimic humans decently in a chat program after data mining billions of lines of conversation.
I have one of these. It's called my nose. I can smell when people (including myself) have the flu, often before other symptoms appear. It's a distinct smell that I've only encountered when people have the flu.
I bet you could train dogs to tell you when people have the flu for about 1/10th the cost and 10x the reliability of this device.
More accurately, it's witch-hunting. If they come up with some "evidence" and it leads to the wrong person, the angry mob could ruin an innocent person's life. And even if they found the right person, it risks vigilante justice instead of Due Process.
Yet when Rolling Stone publishes a completely fabricated rape account...
Stop pretending this is ANYTHING other than politically motivated shit, as usual. Reddit admins have already been caught abusing their powers to push their political viewpoint.
It's not just nazis, it's everything. A common mantra for the far left is "There is no left in America, only right and far right!!!" when the exact opposite is the case.
Both Bush and Obama ethics lawyers have said it's not OK.
Thankfully, they're not actual lawyers, as ethics aren't laws.
The constitution is very clear. Trump isn't being given a title of nobility and he's not receiving emoluments from a foreign state. Receiving an emolument from a foreign state would include Russia or Putin giving him a bag of cash, a plot of land, or some other such gift for no reason or for policy reasons. Having a business in a foreign state does not violate this clause, nor does that business making money.
Further, any purported violation could be approved by congress.
Presidents receive gifts all the time. They simply are given to the President, and not the person. When the person leaves the office, the gift stays. Personal gifts are excepted and allowed if they are indeed personal gifts. Again, congress can make the call if anyone raises a stink.
The more you fucking retards try to grasp at straws to invalidate Trump's Presidency the dumber you look. This shit is dumber than the birther claims for Obama.
No, that wasn't about hiring Carmack away, that was about the code he took with him.
The jury didn't feel it was proven that the code Carmack took with him was related to VR shit that he then used at Oculus. But of course it fucking was. That's likely why the amounts are so huge for the NDA shit the jury agreed was absolutely proven.
Playing based on the odds means every opponent knows what you'll do 100% of the time... Guess how that turns out.
No it doesn't.
Your opponent doesn't know what your cards are, but you do. You have disparate sets of information regarding the game state. Playing the odds perfectly and uniformly deterministically in ambiguous situations (all players making predictable choices when multiple choices have the same weight) results in different players arriving at different ideas of the game state and making different decisions, even if all the players are robots running the same exact deterministic algorithm that's a function of the known game state.
Do you really expect the invisible hand of the free market to work out for loosely-regulated electricity monopolies? Have you heard of the state of California?
Then the judge should throw the suit out with a simple finding of fact that they gave permission to have their data used in that way.
Not showing direct harm is irrelevant as the law clearly has punitive values built in. If the law was violated, then the defendant has to pay up, regardless of any harm. To find out if the law was violated, how many times, etc., you go to court and have your day. This judge denied the plaintiff's their legal recourse on irrelevant grounds.
Punitive damages exist because actions themselves are harmful beyond their direct and immediate effects and need to be discouraged beyond a mere restorative monetary assessment. This is why that guy goes around suing every business in every town he goes to for ADA violations. This dude isn't harmed in any way, yet he takes people to court (and wins) over such issues. This is the same reason we punish people who commit violent crimes not by committing the same crimes against them, but by throwing them in jail to rot.
Punishment scales in response to harm, but direct and immediate harm is not necessary for punishment to be inflicted by a court.
For some asinine reason when the government takes you to court for criminal charges there doesn't have to be any demonstration of harm based on your actions. When you take someone to court for their malicious actions against you, you do have to provide evidence of harm. This conveniently allows the government to practice malicious prosecution while disallowing the peasants.
The law in question has built-in punitive values. Violation of the law in this case is itself harmful, per the state of Illinois. That's why the law exists. The same goes for many other laws, including things without explicit punitive values. You can sue for all sorts of civil rights violations without concrete proof of harm beyond the violation itself. The violation alone is harmful.
It's a mere question of fact as to whether or not the law was violated, then it's a separate issue to find out who gets what money as a result. The law has it as a question of whether it was negligent or malicious/reckless, and the court has to decide that, determine who was affected, and how many times.
You expect me to read? This is Slashdot. Okay, so it's a federal court. That still doesn't make the judge's reasoning sane. You don't need to show monetary harm, physical harm, or even potential harm to have standing to file a suit or to get an award. Violation of the law IS the harm. Plenty of states have punitive damages built into laws ranging from data retention to the timely return of security deposits. If you're in the right state and your landlord doesn't give you your security deposit and an itemized list of what they withheld within 30 days, you can win it all back and then some on day 31.
Slashdot Mirror
log(sqrt(4)/4) (log(4)(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(4))))) = 3
That's the same as
log(base 1/2) of (log(base 4) of 4^(1/8))
(log(base 4) of 4^(1/8)) = 1/8 (4 to what power = 4 to the power of 1/8?)
So you have
log(base 1/2) of 1/8
Which is 3. Just add another sqrt() to increment the result.
log(sqrt(4)/4) (log(4)(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(4)))))) = 4
That's the same as
log(base 1/2) of (log(base 4) of 4^(1/16))
(log(base 4) of 4^(1/16)) = 1/16 (4 to what power = 4 to the power of 1/16?)
So you have
log(base 1/2) of 1/16
Which is 4.
Yup. They say "normal math symbols" and then include concatenation. Fucking horse shit.
So a chunk of ice falls into the ocean. It'll cool the ocean a bit. I though you wanted it to be colder. Make up your damned minds!
