You are correct. It's been a while since I was in a computer science course, but back then Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence were related, but separate courses. The Machine Learning course was all about how to get machines to do shit, train on data, etc. You learned about "expert systems", "neural nets", "Bayesian networks", "simulated annealing", etc. The Artificial Intelligence course involved the Turing Test, a brief and pointless philosophical "What Is Intelligence" song and dance, and then a project where you use the stuff from the Machine Learning course to build a program and call it Artificial Intelligence.
I wonder what they teach now. Is it all DEEP LEARNING DEEP LEARNING DEEP LEARNING? Am I a LUDDITE?
That depends on the speed bump and the vehicle, and you won't know what's what until you drive over a particular speed bump in a particular vehicle.
We have speed trapezoids on a certain road near me. If you go over them at anything more than 3 MPH you're going to fuck your shit up. They're hardly any better than jumping a curb.
That's the best reason. Fuck your useless pet project. There are rules, regulations, and property owners that take precedence over some jerkoff building a jumbo pneumatic tube system.
That's no different than shills for the competition bombing with with 1* ratings. Or dumb users hitting it with 1* without even trying it, because they don't like the company's policy on who can use what bathroom, etc.
If Google's stance is that the rankings have to be manipulated because the reviews can't be trusted, then the whole system is worthless to start with. It's like trying to patch a leak in the roof when the house is on fire.
Why not let the review system speak for itself? Let people rate the app on a scale of 1-5 or whatever, and just let that rating do its job. Why fucking manipulate search ranking up or down beyond those ratings?
If you have chanced upon a better story, and you would like us to run it here, please submit it or tip us here or on Twitter? We largely rely on the submissions readers make.
The Firehose is a farce. Submissions there are supposed to be voted up or down by us, the readers. In reality, the "editors" at Slashdot pick and choose what to push to the front page, often injecting their own "submissions" (and commissions, I'm sure). I imagine the amount of voting the Firehose gets from actual Slashdot readers is infinitesimal at this point, but that's due to years of abuse. We don't use it because we know it doesn't behave as intended.
When political, SJW, non-news bullshit is injected into the front page every fucking day, and when summaries make no fucking sense, and when the headlines can't even be parsed in English, why the hell would any of the few remaining Slashdot users trust the editors or the Firehose?
Asking us to use the Firehose to effect change is like asking people to send in comments to the FCC.
A State can't just use any court to compel a specific desired action from the Executive branch.
They'd have to take it up with a federal court, and it would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, and all they still can't compel Trump to do anything specifically. They'd declare what Trump's administration did or didn't do to be legal or not, and it would be up to Congress to create new laws, the EPA to act within those laws and their charter, and/or Trump's administration to do something else (or not) in a fashion that jibes with (or skirts) the Supreme Court's ruling.
Who is Nichelle Nichols? I would complain because ToS is largely trash with awful, hammy overacting by Zapp Brannigan. TNG is far better, even though it's got tons of soap opera episodes. (In general, I am not a fan of Star Trek or Roddenberry.)
I don't even know what Discovery is about. I only heard about it briefly during the SDCC media blitz. I'm merely commenting on the fact that the studio doing this is a clear sign that it's a fucking stinker.
You're a retard. It's a defect. Some people like it. That doesn't make it not a defect when you're talking about capturing light incident upon a surface.
Its my understanding that bitcoin is not a fiat currency
there is no proclamation from anyone with authority claiming its value, as well its not a currency backed by a commodity or good, so controlling the scarcity seems to be an incredibly important factor.
They've got a real stinker on their hands and they know it. 9 months to fix it? Good luck. That's long enough to tell us that there are serious fucking problems, yet not long enough for them to fix them.
I expect this will either be delayed further, outright canned, or just put out as-is and never spoken of again.

But hey, I'm sure that battery breakthrough is right around the corner.
It covered nearly the entirety of the 1640 foot meter test track? And hit 192 MPH?
Let's be generous and say it traveled one third of a mile, and let's assume it accelerated linearly (it didn't) from 0 to an instantaneous peak of 192 MPH, then immediately decelerated linearly back to 0 (and stopped). That gives an average velocity of 96 MPH.
It doesn't work in all contexts. It can't be triggered with Control+V or Shift+Insert. I've taken to using Alt+Space, E, P as a "shortcut" when I have to paste into a cmd.exe terminal.
Do you realize that Amazon is the world's second biggest e-commerce company?
Different market. I don't want to have to deal with getting a quote or contacting a vendor to tell him what I want, I want to click on the "buy" button and buy it. Amazon does the latter. Alibaba, from every experience I've had with them, is the former.

In fact, Amazon's new policy is a direct result of Alibaba. People buy a bunch of shit wholesale from Alibaba and relist it on Amazon with huge markups. They "seller" on Amazon often never sees the product. They drop ship it straight to the customer who buys it off of Amazon.
Amazon's new policy is a FUCK YOU to those "sellers". If Amazon doesn't touch the inventory then they assume it's drop shipped, and will let customers get instant refunds, no questions asked. This will quickly be abused.
1 UPS unit (of 2) has gremlins, so if you're on that one only you're screwed. If you're gear is on both you're okay until thermal protection kicks in. The people who run the data center don't run the building and can't force the HVAC back on when utility power is restored.
If YOU made a time machine, would YOU tell anybody?
DIDN'T THINK SO.
Not intentionally, but that shit can't be kept secret.
FACT: The reason we don't have backwards time travel is because it's always eventually used to go back in time and prevent it from ever being invented.
