No, "does it drive" is well down the list of questions I would ask. I want to know whether all the parts were printed, material costs, labor costs, whether it's street legal, safety, durability and/or ease of repair... In short I want to know whether there's a logical rational to saying anything but "meh". Considering they dodged every one of those questions the answers are probably down Meh road, past Slashvertisement junction, left at Hype street and first notachanceinhell on your left.
There is a group of people out there walking free guilty of illegally taking and spreading pictures of children. They don't care about the law and they don't believe there will be any consequences. Every day I contemplate the world my children face with this kind of person, and it enrages me. It should enrage you too. The NSA must be stopped.
I feel medical publishing needs to move away from the current paradigm even more than the open-access journals that have been discussed so widely. The company that made this advance, Agios doesn't seem to be a typical "big pharma" company: They are running lean on market cap (350 million in outstanding shares) and big dreams. Imagine a world with a hundred more companies like this could be creating equally innovative solutions. Then realize that the biggest drug company has a market cap that could be funding over 500 Agios's.
Given advertising costs that number is a little deceptive. Nevertheless we are talking about human trials in the US, an enormously expensive process. It's popular to be conservative about medicine, especially in the US and there's a good reason for that but there's a line between looking for more likely results and wasting money on almost exclusive focus on incremental improvements. We've crossed that line.
Medicine is science and science is moving faster all the time. As a society we need to keep up by focusing capital on smaller, more agile companies, not only to prevent the tragedy of unaddressed new problems but to move the state of the art forward as fast as possible. There are lives to be saved.
Interesting that you would bring up misogyny but not the great amount of misandry. You even went out of your way to do so since "sexism" would have been easier to address. In any case I, for one, feel censorship is always evil. It's a slippery and well traveled slope from censoring things that make most people uncomfortable to censoring things with which the zietgeist disagrees.
Why just tablets? This sounds like a full powered, full featured processor for smart phones and a serious attack against AMD's mobile market share.
Their marketing promises are largely useless (productivity up to 19% better? 3-D graphics up to 47% better? What does that even mean?) but with graphics, wireless, and fast processing in a low power chip they're already there.
When I saw a mention of a "small L3 cache" I looked at Intel's site (warning: PDF) which also didn't five actual L3 cache sizes. By the way you'll find more technical information about the chip there than in the article. L2 is 256k per core. Cache aside in general it's a solid midrange processor at mobile level power usage. Here's hoping to see them in a phone soon.
When they're abusing statistics with the goal of spreading hate, when many mainstream feminists have rabidly man-hating quotes strung behind them, and when they don't collectively struggle for equal responsibility that definition sounds pretty damn hollow.
There is nothing acceptable about "I won't shit on you as long as you jump through my hoop". It doesn't matter whether it's a simple email or the hoop is more difficult, "opt out" needs to end.
Perhaps people more likely to be depressive -- the shut-ins, the antisocial, or those without enough money to pay for real life social gatherings -- are more likely to use social networks extensively.
The article indicates that popups can probably be presented (by the hostile app) at appropriate times that allow it to steal passwords and user names. That is the full extent of the vulnerability. Most of it discusses clever side-channel attacks to learn when to present the popup. (what the user is probably doing at the time) An immediate work-around would be to randomly place the log-in screen within a pre-determined area such that the hostile app would be unable to immediately overlap it. The double image will tell the user something is wrong.
Despite what the summary implies none of this is about actually reading memory in use by friendly apps. i.e. until the user gives the hostile app his account information the app knows nothing. All in all not a particularly powerful attack vector.
I believe brain implants are the human-computer interface of tomorrow. They can offer I/O at speeds and bandwidths limited only by our very elastic brain tissues and the only downsides are the "ick" factor and the fact that we're still learning how to do it safely. For not only virtual limbs but control of any electronic device, typing, cursor movement, and other sensing I say bring it on!
Seriously? The chance to cause global disasters and a million war deaths (by the most off-the-wall-extreme measures for the US's war on terror) and the like are not preferable to Africa's situation?
Let me count some of the tragedies in recent years in Africa.
I use Linux, almost exclusively, but I can see one of the major problems preventing migration that many linux developers cannot. It's confusing and difficult for the average user to learn where all the configuration files are and what they do. The moment you expect a new user to open a terminal you've already placed a giant barrier to adoption in the way. Certain distros have made giant leaps of progress in this matter but it's still a problem for all.
Want to make a minor adjustment to how your sound card works? Command line. Want to tell your laptop to ignore the touchpad? Command line. Want to use Tor? Command line. Want to install software that's no on the Ubuntu Software center? Command line. I understand that GUI is a dirty word to some developers. I understand the focus on making things work before worrying about making them easy. But the path to the year of Linux on the desktop is paved with intuitive, simple, GUI driven configuration and computer usage.
Medical records are insecure... so it's time to migrate to a system like the UK where they contain comprehensive information about each person? Am I actually reading this?
Until patient confidentiality is enshrined into laws with real teeth and my insurance company, employer, or local black market guru can't get their hands on them I think I'll pass.
Shitty behavior on Slashdot? Would you kindly point out some upmoded misogyny? I don't think I recall ever seeing things like that on Slashdot. As for other sites the sexism you perceive on Reddit (which I would bet is just people not being anti-man enough for you) is not best answered by censoring Slashdot. You just as much as admitted to wanting a feminist takeover of Slashdot.
Seconded. Slashdot is a haven for rational thought, which naturally and innately fights all ignorance including sexism. The thing is, rationalism fights antiwomen and antiman sexism alike and doesn't give either undue focus. That's not good enough for people of certain political bent.
I agree that the article is a waste of time but you're a little off with point number 3: There are places one can drive but not park where a bomb would be more secure. That said it's not a large change to simply disallow driverless and passengerless cars where security is a problem.
That privacy is limited to the security and independence of foo.com. I, for one, would never bet my privacy on the security of a site, nor trust my government to not interfere with my speech.
There are other problems with the Reddit system. Astroturfers with some budget can pay people to make accounts and, without breaking the rules, mass-downvote dissenting opinions. It costs $20 per head per day to hire fluent English speakers to push whatever opinion you like, and it takes surprisingly few of them to influence discussion. Those with differing opinions don't bother to post because they know it will just get downvoted until it's not seen. Others then don't see contradicting arguments and assume that point of view must be right.
Another problem is that posts containing popular memes are pushed to the top raising the noise-signal ratio to an unacceptable level. Finally, allowing everyone to moderate has the effect of pushing all conversation to the lowest common denominator, such that the stories that make it to the front page tend to have a bland populist, unchallenging bias.

Sulfur is nothing compared to the storms and crop damage global warming will cause. Choose your battles.
Either you're torrenting at the same time or they're not actually giving you the full 4. Neither is a problem with the 4 Mbps spec

Downvoted posts are hidden by default so that's precisely what it means.
The law itself is bad -- It's crushing innovation that would otherwise create a whole new dynamic part of the economy.

Well, super, mega, and ultra were all used up, what prefix would you suggest?

I'm not arguing that first world countries are utopias but to claim Africa has it better or is doing things better is silly on the face of it.

Please leave the politics elsewhere.
Summary writer, your bias is showing.

Dear government, Please shut up bout terrorism and get out of the way of innovation. sincerely, informed citizen
