These interfaces live or die by the quality of chipset support. Implemented properly (and given freedom to standardize for industry support) this can become a must-have port along the lines of serial, parallel, and yes the original USB. If the chipset interface isn't robust or has native security problems then it will become the next firewire: There by force and overshadowed by alternatives.
What I hope Intel does is create a high-quality set of specs and hand it to IEEE in the form of a high-quality Request for Comments.
The root of the problem is people using Wikipedia as a research resource in its own right. It's very helpful for uncontroversial facts but horrible for anything even slightly politically charged. Wikipedia is filled with power hungry POV pushing scum in denial. The solution isn't to fix Wikipedia, it's far beyond fixing. The solution is to take anything you read on Wikipedia with a whole shaker of salt. Do real research.
The EFF still has some pull. That's my take on this. Enough people listened that their support, or lack thereof, made a substantial difference to political support behind the bill. And that's damn good news.
Here's hoping it's an EM drive + battery. I know that's not likely with an organization as ironically conservative as NASA but wouldn't it just be cool?
I know authors have no control over cover art, which is why I still read books with bad covers. The kind that offend me most are space ships that look like water ships. They use a traditional battleship or what have you complete with mast and rudder and just stick it into space. I mean what the actual fuck!? It's worse than giving sci-fi soldiers swords because you're too lazy to think through the mechanics of something realistic.
Just a moment's thought is needed to realize that space ships will be guided by entirely different design constraints, technologies, and other considerations. A submarine in space? I could handle that. but a FUCKING SAILBOAT???? If you're doing that just make it a whale and a petunia.
It limits utility but does not eliminate it. If the false positives are low enough people can make basic preparations. More importantly accuracy can be improved, possibly resulting in hours-long windows that will be extremely useful.
Although the maximum penalties are, in my opinion, way too high I'm just happy they're not adding on the dozens of fraud, cracking, and illegal access charges I'm so used to seeing. One charge of violating each actually applicable law is a refreshing change. I wonder if this is a signal the abuse of plea bargaining and DA threats has stopped?
Six free units, six foreign legions immediately. I always delete or give away the foreign legions immediately; by that time in the game I'm building units with way more experience. But the six free unite makes a real difference when you're supporting enough for a war.
NASA did not invent a warp drive. Roger Shawer might have. The title should read, "NASA has not been robustly proven to have built a warp drive" Three teams have reported the same effect from three different devices. And these aren't teams of hacks. Furthermore the test duplicates our best prediction of the cause of the thrust. It's premature to throw a Singularity party but it's definitely premature to declare the device to not be a warp drive.
Skepticism is a good thing. This isn't proper skepticism.
I'm no party animal but if he runs even as a Democrat, I might vote for him. He's an old man and I think old men are more likely to speak the truth and less likely to make moral compromises. At 73 he'll be thinking of an afterlife if he believes in one. Even if he doesn't he won't care about future prospects enough to sell out for them.
Nope, I'm finished feeling guilty for the acts of previous generations. The islands are part of the United States now. They have their votes and councils. They have their local government. And this isn't about religion anyway, it's about declaring as much independence as possible. Fuck that, the war is over. I don't care that they want to make a statement. I do care that they want to make their statement at the cost of science. I'm not sure whether I'm disappointed we're not using eminent domain here but I don't think these objections are valid.
While structural unemployment is a progressive circumstance that will hurt a lot of people very badly if it isn't handled properly I do hope these robots are good enough and cheap enough to replace human labor. Technological unemployment is a first world problem if anything is. That said, when someone says an American won't do the job what they mean is, "I'm not willing to pay a living wage for this job"
If we don't define the terms properly we'll end up with solutions that don't fit the problems.
There are some things about human contact that have lasted the ages. One of them is the need to directly communicate with each-other. Expecting your friends to visit a website on a regular basis if they want communication from you is inconsiderate, and that transcends generational boundaries. Sure it works with "friends" (who used to be known as acquaintances) but if you're trying to tell me the new generation doesn't actually have friends close enough for direct communication I'll call you disconnected from society at large.
Whether it's "I'll tell the innkeeper if I need you, no need to darken my doorstep" as in days past or "Don't call me, I'll call you" as in pretentious modern Hollywood or "If you want news check my Facebook status" as in your intent, it's not some new wave, it's being too selfish to give the other person a moment's time.
It's obviously not straight from a player's POV, no one switches views that fast, and there's no way it's smart enough to give the right one of the tens of points of view in the first part of the video.
It also doesn't look like a movie, not a high-budget one anyway. With the luxury of pre-rendering movies are already 15 years beyond those plastic faces.
But enough complaining. Did you see the actor covering his face from the explosion? The smooth teamwork? The variety of vehicles? Maybe I'm behind the times but the non-graphics-related material; the gameplay, that's what I'm really into. And this has some good stuff.
Encyclopedias are meant to be descriptive. Some of this problem is people who think an encyclopedia defines truth. Some of the problem is people who think if it's in Wikipedia it must be true. (A subtle but important difference). And some of the problem is biased editors within Wikipedia itself.
I think as a society we need to maintain paid content reviewers for a competitor to Wikipedia. Field experts who aren't doing it for power or to push a POV but because someone is paying them to fact-check. I'm not endorsing any one company but I think if we continue relying on Wikipedia as a source of truth Bad Things will happen.
No, I'm pretty sure it's anchoring. But I applaud your efforts to associate my post with Beck's insanity. Anyone reading your comment will discount my own by association. Very clever.
Offer someone an extreme choice, "Here's a car for only $60,000!" and they'll be more likely to accept a more moderate choice (Here's a car for $30,000!) because it's better by contrast, not objectively. Today we're reading, "should the government get to read everything, everywhere?" and your answer is obviously "fuck no". But that immediate answer isn't the point.
Later you'll be presented with, "Should the government get extra-legal access to some things?" and because of this framing you'll be more likely to say "yes".

Since Fukushima tens of companies have developed search and rescue robots. This would be the perfect time to deploy them for a field test.
Please to beggings for a version around which I can wrap my tiny brain? Something related to automobiles perhaps?
According to Wikipedia "In Cambodia, the leaves are inhaled as a treatment for migraines and vertigo."
How soon can I hope to see powerful AI in 4x games? When will the Civilization AI be able to beat me without cheating?
