If they start trying to video tape through my windows, I'm going to have an issue with it. In public, I typically try not to do anything I wouldn't do in public.
In simple terms, C is simply a subset of C++. A result of this though is C tends to be data oriented and a fairly different design philosophy from C++ as an overall program. Looking at any random line of C vs C++ usually wont result in a noticeable difference though. For the first few general concepts you could use either.
Timothy McVeigh was actually called a Terrorist in the Main Stream Media and by Federal Government employees and officials. I do recall that quite clearly. How old are you? Not to know?
I think by "wasn't terrorism" is more along the lines of history being rewritten. Just because something used to be considered true is no longer relevant to the modern political climate.
At least with Trump, this will be a HUGE shit-show, the biggest, best shit-show...
My take on Trump is regardless of the outcome being good or bad, I'll be back here munching on popcorn and enjoying the show. If he can do a good job, the complaining as it happens should be hilarious. If he does a bad job, I'd rather consider it a tragic comedy than cry about it.
Haven't spent over $210 on a device|phone. $169 Xiaomi, and the potential replacement, a Nexus 6, 64GB for $209.
I always bought the expensive phones because Verizon was going to charge me a new phone fee even if I didn't buy one. Now that they've dropped that charge, time to start looking at more practical ones.
A new battery would last at least two days for me, unless I was playing games on it all day. With an old battery it doesn't bother me any to have it plugged in to my computer while I'm at work. Just can't see paying for a new phone just for that.
Sure, but if your phone wasn't 5 years old, you could get a 50-75% charge in under 30 minutes -- even without Qualcomm QuickCharge most phones in the last 2+ years charge at 2 Amps or higher. USB-C phones charge at 3 Amps or higher.
Which obviates the need for carrying around a spare battery.
Still not worth the cost of a new phone to me. Great if that is what you want though.
No? Oh look, my Galaxy S5 still works great (yes I can ignore the crack on the screen...).
I mean yeah, it is kind of a nit pick but I'm on my third battery right now and will probably be ordering my fourth before too long. The S5 is plenty fast enough to do everything I do with the phone, including a number of games. Just don't see what a new phone provides that an old one doesn't, including some things new phones don't provide that old ones did.
BluRay? I don't even own a player for BluRay and have all the movies I care to own. Maybe if they stop making DVDs but until then, BluRay is just a more expensive DVD to me. Though I agree there isn't much worth buying on DVD for some time now. Maybe it is just a result getting older (depending on your definition of 35 being older) and all new and wonderful movies just remind me of something I've seen.
Alternatively, most everything I watch on Netflix I wouldn't buy the DVD anyway. My DVD buying pretty much stopped before I found Netflix, just not worth the prices to me, but my movie watching increased after I subscribed.
Calling it a machine learning program is probably accurate. These are self taught predictors but there is still a lot of human involvement to calibrate the learning
My personal feelings is AI should refer to something that learns independently or in a black box manner. I think some neural networks can do this at a simple level but I don't know of any complex independent learning done by any computer programs.
I've got a simpler approach, take the following from the bill (or just summary?): "would require computer makers and sellers to install filters that would prevent users from accessing porn and other sexual material".
Replace users with senators and porn and other sexual material with everything.
Just wait 'til they sell the trillion mail addresses at mailinator!
My Yahoo mail might get one more spam e-mail a day that slips through the filters? I use Yahoo as my throwaway address for registrations of minimal value, I'm pretty sure every spam company in the world already has my yahoo address.
Completely agreed. Elimination of cash means the government knows everything you are doing.
Exactly, I enjoy having and spending cash.
It is largely anonymous, and I find that if I take out my spending money and see myself spending cash and the amount dwindling away off my money clip...it means more to me.
Credit cards and the like, abstract money like chips in a casino do...and I don't find myself fretting over spending nearly as much when money is abstracted in this manner.
Credit cards are less abstract to me when I use a budget. Start with the amount I can spend for the week, subtract from that each time I use the card and if it goes negative, the next week starts with a smaller number. Admittedly I have a head for numbers (they have a size or weight in my head, rather than just a squiggle representing a value) so this probably works better for me than for some people.
So it's ok if we kill people now for us to gamble that enough people might one day be able to afford these cars for it to make a statistical difference?
So stop using electricity, considering the number of people killed in coal mining accidents?
Contractors tend to care more than the DoD. No one is going to fire the DoD for having insecure systems, contractors can loose all of their government contracts, possibly putting them out of business.
Yeah though defense contractors may not even be happy with just being able to turn off windows telemetry. I don't think they would want an OS that even has that code anywhere. They scan every program on our computer pretty much each time it is used to make sure it doesn't export data already.
Looks like I'm buying new batteries for my cracked Galaxy S5, rather than a new phone. Though maybe it is just time to transition fully away from Samsung.

Heck, that was a time when a solar flare was going to initiate doomsday, except for one Russian who decided he did not want to destroy the world...

The teams need to be privately funded.
I'd be fine with public funding if all publicly funded projects have to release all of their documentation...

Because computer security and how it seems to universally suck.
Now announcing Yahoo Cash! Trust Us(TM)!
If you have to ask that, then you must be against Us.
Fine with me, will keep it that way

Great 285,000 potential bombs around the US courtesy of Samsung.
Yeah, nothing could be nearly as bad as the fire risk posed by these phones in the wild: http://www.nfpa.org/public-edu...
If you haven't bought a previous version of Windows, what exactly are you upgrading from?

Starting to make me want to switch over to Linux for development, might just do that with Visual Studio on Linux
