Understanding how the brain works by modeling one cubic mm of cortical matter? It sounds like: "We want to understand the global ecosystem, and we start by simulating what's happening on this square meter of soil". First of all, there is likely going to be a huge diversity in terms of the structures and behavior of a cubic mm of cortical matter, depending on what part of the brain you look at. Secondly, it is relatively undisputed that the functional behavior of the brain is determined by structures at scales far larger than that cubic mm, which that cubic mm is not going to tell you anything about.
Putting on my tin-foil hat, it almost seems like there is a coordinated program to backdoor security products, and attribute them to a 'mistake'. But that's just me being paranoid.
speaking of which, did you ever check your tin-foil hat for backdoors?
web console and native-application/owning-your-emails is not a contradiction though, look at: https://www.mailpile.is/ It's in beta, and I'm not sure whether it will ever get out, but it looks nice.
Not sure whether the timing of this article is a coincidence, but it seems that European has voted today that emissions standards should get more lax:

thank god Xerox didn't do open source back then, free software might have never seen the light of day:
In 1980, Stallman and some other hackers at the AI Lab were refused access to the source code for the software of a newly installed laser printer, the Xerox 9700. Stallman had modified the software for the Lab's previous laser printer (the XGP, Xerographic Printer), so it electronically messaged a user when the person's job was printed, and would message all logged-in users waiting for print jobs if the printer was jammed. Not being able to add these features to the new printer was a major inconvenience, as the printer was on a different floor from most of the users. This experience convinced Stallman of people's need to be able to freely modify the software they use.
So what if some technically superior thing Torvalds wants to do requires being subtle? Doesn't that ever happen, or will he trade the technical superiority for being heard?
Slashdot Mirror
Luring children into a dependency on a proprietary software system is not a good way to shape their future...
env.exec("bla bla bla blaa ");
why do you think you need scripts anyways?
So what language is "bla bla bla blaa " then? You're basically telling us that you write your bash scripts without proper syntax highlighting ;-)
Org mode is insanely powerful
I just looked at the feature list. Impressive indeed! It's a like having emacs within emacs: a very nice operating system, but ...
Sure, but is your mom on slashdot?
same number of shader units
good news for those looking for deep learning on the road
This is robust at least against the demo attacks given in the article.
That would also be great for their fellow three letter agencies!

Here's an interview with Yann Lecun. He's also sceptical about such undertakings, but he argues more convincingly: http://spectrum.ieee.org/autom...
It's inconvenient, but I guess I'd open a fresh Twitter account the next day

...more than 20 percent of the traffic to WIRED.com comes from a reader who is blocking our ads.
Does that mean they have less than five readers a day, or is that ad-blocking reader a very heavy Wired-user?
I thought the very purpose of an app is to interfere with devices, networks or other parties' apps and services.

In your example, some_function(speed1, speed2) is making assumptions about a variable outside its scope (time). That's not good programming either.
idea: app to order and pay for drinks at a bar or nightclub reason for failure: "hard to market ourselves properly in bars without being there"
Sounds like vaporware. Where would it's power come from?
Why, from the vapor of course!

On the Internet, nobody can hear you being subtle
So what if some technically superior thing Torvalds wants to do requires being subtle? Doesn't that ever happen, or will he trade the technical superiority for being heard?
Sorry if capitalism is painful that way.
it might not affect you or me (in any negative way), but exploitation does happen. Does that mean nobody is entitled to ask for proper remuneration?
