expecting the government, the one that you, yourself, said was corrupt and the legislative system abused, to actually enforce the laws
I know we live in a culture of disposable crap, but with structures as big as government, it is more effective to fix the broken machine than suffer the process of replacing it.
Also, it has happened before. Witness the Civil Service Reform Act.
Yeah bad journalism. Journalists should stick to "households powered per year". FWIW this is over a 30 year product lifecycle, so it's 600kish households baseline, or about 0.5% of households in the country. That's actually fairly significant.
Of course relying on "households powered per year" means eventually we'll have powered more households than we have, since the majority of energy consumption is transportation and industrial.
Really this is one area I'm surprised genetic programming has not been thrown at full bore. Just have a bunch of organisms that evolve to be good at compressing particular types of content, then package them all up into a bundle that runs them in parallel on segments of data and takes an index to the best performer and its compressed data.
The fitness test for losslees compression would be easy... for lossy you'd have to approximate human perception which is a bit harder.
You raise a good point. If anyone wants to know why the investigations are moving so slowly just ask yourself this: if you knew it all culminated in having to watch the presidential pee video, would you not also slow-walk things?
No... don't. Everyone in our college clique who read it became fantastically unsuccessful. I only got a half way into the first book and somehow managed to salvage my life.
I'd read the The Book of the SubGenius instead. At least then you'll know how to fail upward.
That's a real question—why so much deception? It makes no sense.
Not really... it makes perfect sense from the perspective that the Trump administration lies about goddamn everything, compulsively. So them lying about this doesn't actually stick out. Just yet another piss-on-our-face-and-tell-us-it's-raining move.
Which is interesting because the U.S. does not HAVE 17 intelligence agencies which would all have any knowledge or expertise
Gah the idiocy of this comment: 17 intellegence agencies reached a consensus after pooling their collective knowledge of the individual bits and peices.. and yes, every one of them has "expertise" in their own particular areas, which is why they were consulted. Is it that hard to understand?
Stop being a sophomore and realize these agencies do more than you know... because they are fucking intellegence agencies and you're not supposed to know everything they do.
"Ah, If only I had a nickel for every time a slashdotter said AI would never be reliable..."
"OK, ordering 384,243 nickels from coins-r-us. Warning. Your account will be overdrawn after paying rent at the end of the month. Please replenish funds."
Pretty much. That aside, politicians would be best advised to realize that not every one of their campaign promises is supported by a majority of people who voted for them. So even if they decide to govern for their supporters only, which is awful, they aren't even doing that.
Also people change their minds. Especially when they wise up after being lied to. Witness the health care issue. All the Rs saying "we ran on repeal" as if that's a justification for screwing us all over need to eat a reality cookie.
The critical number missing in TFA is the memory access speeds at various tiers of the NUMA.
Take a 4GHz computer. How far can a memory access go in one cycle given the speed of light? The answer is "not even to the other side of a 19 inch server rack. Not even halfway across a laptop." You can fetch cache lines in bulk, sure, but at some point this fact will intrude into your code, demanding you keep local registers local and tightly coupled calculations on physically close nodes... we can't tell how drastic a relief "The Machine" provides from such constraints without those numbers.
Also where the RAM design sits between a modern day HPCC and an ideal nonblocking multiport mesh is critical to know... and whether it automatically adapts by moving memory to more efficient banks transparently to the OS/app.
It's a reasonable cautinary comment to make, obviously based on the observation that some people may assume that FTL limitations are based on the limitations of particle transmission, and lacking any particle transmission, those limits might not come into play. Because not everyone reading this site have taken courses in physics.
Probably merging projects in different laguages on the JVM. Also if you are sandboxed to just the JVM, running Perl5 without hitting metal is neat. I dunno for sure, but this could conceivably play a part in helping Perl6's Inline::Perl5 perform on rakudo-jvm.
The media agreed with you all day, writing about how he mislead Congress about the Abedin/Weiner emails. Right up until he got fired, that is. Now they're all about how this is a repeat of the "Saturday Night Massacre," firing a fine upstanding law enforcement officer for doing his job.
...and that was totally predictable. Which makes you wonder what was in the media that this a was a preferable headline in the estimation of the White House. The health care bill was that big a steaming turd, eh?
Also, given the non-partisan role Comey was trying to play (usually better done by keeping your mouth shut whenever you have that option) it's not a matter of hypocrisy to disagree both with his actions and with the timing and offered justification of his firing, if you don't see the world in black and white. Maybe next time we can elect a president with the moral fiber to fire justice department officials without leaving the country wondering.
Also, the media has not changed the way they are portraying Comey... been watching news all day... pretty consistently they say that he was widely respected as a nonpartisan actor up until the campaign when he made questionable decisions (questionable from both partisan perspectives), but might be still mostly neutral... but nobody can be sure. So be honest. The news covers new controversies. Big surprise.
No, physical. It would have one analogue keyword consisting of how hard you are hitting the robot with the stick, and/or how loud you are yelling "no, you stupid git!"
"Infinitely fast" could run brute force solution space searches on anything... no need for genetic algorithms, neural nets, or contortions to fit quantum models. That would make AI pretty easy to develop by comparison to what we have now.
Of course it might be hard to teach such a platform the concept of time, but as Thunderclese said: Time is an abstract concept invented by carbon based life forms to monitor their ongoing decay.

If being efficient is cheaper, the successful businesses will trend towards that.
This premise is wrong, and considering it is the linchpin of all your arguments, there's no use listening to you.
Because a large cohort of "businesspeople" are complete sleazeballs.
Wrong. DOE standards updates are required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and Energy Policy Acts
42 USCS 6201.
42 USCS 13456.
42 USCS 16103.
42 USCS 6322.
The antidote for corruption and abuse of the legislative system is anti-corruption enforcement. Not anarchy.
Of course if we had it, Trump would have been in jail decades ago, so I'm not holding my breath for any progress there.

Their bad pollution is why they are starting to take leadership on this. It's that, or riots.
1. Trump alienating our allies is headline news lately.
Give the guy some credit. At least he didn't try to give Angela Merkel a backrub.
I did read your second sentence. It seemed pretty a throwaway aside, given this is supposedly more than just a big fast disk.

Exactly. It's like having your users write their passwords on a post-it note, and stick it on the foreheads rather than their monitors.

Well, the generation of high quality site mimics to which to direct phishing logins *sorta* gets there...
Looking forward that's effectively an exaggerated figure, since there will be more hybrids which won't save nearly as much.
