And so the [the World] operates like your local high-school where all the attention goes to the sport jocks and nobody cares about the nerds.
FTFY. Wikipedia is a mirror to the world. If the world is not as you wish it to be, then put your efforts towards fixing that and Wikipedia will follow.
With trivia sections, you get articles with a small main body followed by a very long list of unrelated facts under Trivia because it's easier to add one line to the existing list than to integrate it into the article. That's just a bad way to organize an article.
The content in the trivia sections is usually fine, you just need to find a way to include it in the main body of the article so that it reads like an encyclopedia entry should.
Did they predict all of those elections ahead of time? I'm guessing not, otherwise we would have heard about it sometime around 1992. If not, the fact that it produced the correct output for every election is actually a huge red flag. Elections are complicated things with many factors that are unique to a given election. You'd expect any model that can be written down on paper to be wrong at least some of the time because there's no way to account for everything.
Likely they just went data-dredging until they found a set of variables that correlate with the election winner. Problem is, there's usually *some* set of variables that correlate with the outcome for spurious reasons. The meal preferences of an octopus, for example.
The media-hype name for it is "the post-PC era", but the point is that most people, most of the time, don't need a general-purpose computer sitting on their desk. They're happy with an updated version of the TV, a mostly one-way consumption device that restricts their activities to what's safe and easy.
We may look upon the last twenty years as an aberration, a time when the technology advanced to the point of being useful to a mass audience, but hadn't yet been pared back to only what was useful to them. After all, isn't that Apple's whole M.O.? Removing features most people don't need?
Even if the number was zero, we'd still be falling behind because of population growth. We need to add more teachers every year just to keep up with the increasing number of students. So any cuts at all are doubly harmful.
If someone comes out with a box that can combine 4 HDMI video streams, these new TVs will be used in lots of places as video walls.
Or you could just have a video wall of four 1080p displays for much less money. Sure, you'll see the lines between the displays, but who is so frustrated by the lines that they'll pay a $10k+ premium to get rid of them? And the lines matter even less if you're planning to divide up the bigger screen into four regions showing different streams.
The only purpose I can see a company using this for is to show off how much money they have. E.g., replacing the giant, expensive fountain in the lobby with a giant, expensive TV showing a movie of a fountain.
For any practical purpose, like digital signage, you could get four 1080p screens and stack them together for a fraction of the cost. Sure, you'll see the bezels between the screens, but they've been getting smaller and smaller. And if you save $10k+, it's worth putting up with some lines.
While some people have reported problems with Arch's rolling updates, I have had zero troubles in my 6 months of using it.
Six months doesn't seem like a very long time to vouch for the stability of the updates.
I'm not talking about Arch here specifically, but it seems to me any system accumulates bits of custom configuration and slight deviations from the common use patterns over time. In a word, entropy. As your particular setup becomes more specialized and rare, it becomes less likely to have been covered by testing and therefore more prone to conflicts with new updates. So while a good six months is a good six months, it may not say that much about stability years down the road.
One of our attack scenarios inclueded having physical access to the device before the victim, I.E. you receive an already rootkited laptop/PC. A jumper wont help in that case, only a signed BIOS would.
And when the attacker inevitably finds an exploit and installs a rootkit anyway, they'll change the keys so you can't install the officially signed BIOS.
Neutral mutations don't always get weeded out. It's only probabilistic and the odds depend on the population size. Over hundreds of millions of years, practically any sequence of DNA that can change will have changed.
Does this mean that it is 'hysteria' to be worried when your local operators have been exhibiting negligence and incompetence indistinguishable from malice while issuing bland statements about how you have nothing to worry about?
If the public would show at least as much concern for coal, which has all of those same problems plus much worse effects on human health, it would be harder to chalk it up to irrational fears about anything attached to the word nuclear.
It's not as stupid as it sounds. The goal is to separate the administration of the physical hardware and the applications. The IT admins in the data center just maintain the servers and don't know or care what applications are running on them. The application admins in the office just maintain the application and don't know or care what servers it's running on.
OSI is willing to license the trademark, OSHWA's Gibb wrote in the blog entry. However, accepting such a license would establish OSI as the owner of the gear logo, which could put members at risk of litigation.
"It would make OSI responsible for deciding where and when the logo can be used, effectively giving OSI control of defining what can and cannot be labeled as open source hardware. It could also place OSHWA in the uncomfortable position of needing to enforce OSI trademarks," Gibb wrote.
In other words, OSHWA doesn't want to be beholden to another organization. If OSHWA and OSI were to disagree on whether a particular piece of hardware is "open source" or not, OSI would have the final say.
You were already sharing your political affiliation with them. The problem is that this information is public in the first place, not this app in particular.
Programmatic disabling of Secure Boot either during Boot Services or after exiting EFI Boot Services MUST NOT be possible.
So there's no way a distro can "make it easy for users to sign their bootloaders." You have to walk users through modifying their system via printed instructions or another computer because the system is down. And it's all going to be slightly different for different manufacturers, models, and versions. That pretty much guarantees some percentage of users will brick their systems. You can call them morons if you want, but that doesn't stop it from being a problem for support.
Form an organization. Raise money. Hire a lobbyist. Donate money to candidates who agree with you and run ads against candidates who disagree with you.
I won't list the whole breakdown of the proposed settlement, but the lawyers are keeping $2.25 million (not including expenses), while the plaintiffs get a whopping $30,000 to split between however many thousand there end up being.
In this specific instance, the six named plantiffs are getting $5,000 each. Everyone else is getting exactly nothing.
After pausing to consider how that would make you feel, imagine how we're making people in other countries feel.
No one expects them to like it. Despite what they say at press conferences, the US isn't there for the benefit of the locals. If pissing them off accomplishes the goal of ending the threat to America -- which you're welcome to dispute, but that's what they think -- then it's worthwhile in the eyes of the US.
Given a human and a chatbot together, how many simultaneous conversations can they sustain together where the people on the other end think they're getting the undivided attention of a single person?
Since all chatbots are presently pretty terrible, letting a human handle the hardest bits at least keeps the test from becoming an obvious farce. Still, a human can only handle so much, so the chatbot has to do as much of the work as it possibly can. The number of conversations therefore gives you a good metric for what the balance is between human and chatbot intelligence. As chatbots improve, the number would increase in a meaningful way, even if they haven't crossed the final threshold where they're indistinguishable from humans.
We have studied Pb-isotope systematics of chondrules from the oxidized CV3 carbonaceous chondrite Allende. The chondrules contain variably radiogenic Pb with a (206)Pb/(204)Pb ratio between 19.5–268. Pb-Pb isochron regression for eight most radiogenic analyses yielded the date of 4566.2 ± 2.5 Ma. Internal residue-leachate isochrons for eight chondrule fractions yielded consistent dates with a weighted average of 4566.6 ± 1.0 Ma, our best estimate for an average age of Allende chondrule formation.
The best laid plans go out the window In an emergency. Herd mentality kicks in and people follow whoever can stand up and say with confidence that they're taking charge of things. In 1981, when Reagan was shot, it was Alexander Haig, despite being fourth in line of succession.
but plenty of people do think i'm a jerk, and plenty of people don't.
Mystery solved, then. The people who think you're a jerk are going to down vote you every time. The people who don't think you're a jerk may not vote at all.
