Yes, did you RTFA? They specifically mention that this step is needed everytime the system boots. They have also provided some ideas on how to achieve this automatically.
Yes, just that! Those idiots have actually taken the attention away from the real issue here which is a potential for loss of privacy with devices like Google Glass!
Now the problem has been re-defined to safety of those wearing Google Glass.
I am surprised no one has said this so far. The earliest link for this is from 2007 - www.techdigest.tv/2007/06/hitachis_new_bu.html
This product seem to be here - www.hitachi.com/design/field/solution/microscope/
It will become obviously illegal in many countries for companies to force your employees to wear this so I dont think what the above CNN article mentions is what this product will be advertised for at all. It is not a bad idea, I just think the scope of privacy abuse is huge. So, I think, one way this product could be used is by making it optional for people and making them aware of all the things it is recording. I mean, either have a turn off button or a way for you to leave it at your desk. I can see that this is a good way to measure which organizations within a company talk to which ones. It wont help in tele-conferences etc, it can add to that data though.
I forgot this one thing - try to develop a reading habit. Read a book or novel or anything for some extended period of time. Like more than 20-25 mins or something. That helped me as well. I try to do this before going to bed.
I have a similar issue with not being able to sleep and not being able to focus on the task at hand thus taking much longer to finish things and for me it boiled down to the following
1) Get your body clock in order. Sleep and eat at fixed times as much as possible. Also, rest plentifully throughout the day
2) Eat the correct kind of food like fruits etc. Eating fast food for me has caused havoc on my stomach thus leading to sleep issues. Also, I reduced my sugar/candy/soda intake a lot.
3) Exercise. This is right up there with eat and sleep.
4) I realized that I was not finishing tasks because on some level I was not really interested in doing them. This you need to just do some thinking on what your goals are and are you really interested in doing what you are doing etc.
5) I also realized that I wasn't doing fun things enough that I would then be able to do my mundane work items. So on a daily or maybe at least weekly basis, participate in a fun/hobby activity. It is very refreshing. I am planning to buy a PS4 or XBOX for this soon.
6) I find that blocking out external noises and stimuli while working helps me focus on things. This along with making a log of what I am doing (learning Emacs org mode for this) helps me remember things much better. I bought noise cancelling headphones and turn off most notifications that are not important to me during the day as much as possible.
7) Most importantly, I realized focus/concentration is not something you build in a day or week. It takes a lot of time. It is literally like developing a muscle. You need to feed it right and work hard on it to sharpen it. Remember, you need a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.
There is a lot of interest recently in mindfulness you can take a look at that. Hope this helps.
So, I understand that what the article is trying to say in terms of Chemistry. Basically, these storms could provide both the raw materials and the energy required to create biotic molecules. My question though is at what point those molecules become alive? When do they start reproducing or even get the will/understanding the need to reproduce/split to survive? How does that transformation occur that takes this energy from lightning or whatever and converts it to life?
I suggest look at the job postings of Amazon, MS and others and see what areas they most desire. I am a CS/ECE grad and in Raleigh and almost once a month I have someone from MS or Amazon ping me about a position. I know for a fact both Amazon and MS love CS programmers, algorithms, distributed computing etc.
If those or other similar buzzwords are present in your resume on linkedin or elsewhere, you will get an email soon.
I think everyone has a friend on FB who posts news items really fast. As soon as they happen. It is almost like some people feel compelled to be the first to ancounce news on Facebook. I think those few people may be responsible for most others getting their news on FB as well.
I am not completely in agreement with this study. I only read the Atlantic article, I did not read the study so maybe I missed something. From what I have observed, the younger teachers who were on tenure track in universities were always more focused on getting research grants because that is what helped them get tenure. The older ones were more likely to win best teacher awards.
From my just my personal experience of 8 years in grad school I feel like it is just the enthusiasm that some younger teachers show that is infectious and makes you feel like the teacher is good. The older teachers are actually better at drilling down concepts however they were less excited about the material and somehow that transferred to the students as well. Students were more likely to feel bored in their classes. I was a TA and that was a frequent complaint about my advisor but I used to go throw his material and it was fantastic.
That said there was one tenured professor who was an okay teacher but left the teacher survey on the last day of classes, on our desks, on the way out muttering "Write whatever you want, nothing can happen to me."
Wont you get charged for how much power you are sipping in? Is it free? It may be now, but it unlikely to remain that way.
A more important question is how efficient is this? How much energy is given to the vehicle and how much reaches the car and what fraction of it is actually getting converted to motion?
I dont think somehow this is such a bad idea. I mean, they could have just deleted all those pages really ( I know this is a not a good enough excuse).
If you use Tumblr, you know most pages are inter-linked. So it is easy to go from one to next. Did they stop that as well?
Also, I had noticed that most Tumblr pages did not have any warning for adult content.
Right, but then if you keep writing code for future expansion, you are over designing. A lot of the times, it is really hard to predict what direction this project is going to take. You also end up with pieces of code that are being maintained for future really.
You do bring out another interesting point. Code that looks simple to me may not look simple to others.
I have often noticed that complexity is added to code when it grows over time. Typically, a project starts off very well. We have requirements and we use the best possible design with limited future expansion capabilities and come up with simple code that works well. However, over time, things change and we come across situations that the original code cannot handle. But instead of writing from scratch, we hack it and that is how complexity and subsequently bugs get added.
In my experience, the base infrastructure code for any system always looks simplistic and beautiful. The ugly part is often how it has been used over the years.
Is there any way we can say the same about cell phones? Even if they were bought under contract? As long as I am still using their service I should be able to unlock the phone!!
Exactly, I was about to say the same thing. I mean was the Robosparrow attacked because the others thought it looked weird because it had a dead look or something?
Is there a full paper that explains their research. That conclusion jump left me wondering!
You don't get the point. It is about the gatekeeper's ego. If everything he described happened, then it would have made a lot more sense to make the corrections just because it is nice to be honest sometimes you know. She stole the boat because her attitude is like "if you don't do everything the way I want you to do it or if I sense even the slightest disrespect, I will F**K your things". That is what we face at airports too.
The point is it will be cheaper at some point soon if enough people get interested in it and invest in it. What will decide the future is articles like Broder's or others who take the time to review it and are expected to give an honest opinion on it.
On one side you have John Broder who it seems like wants to see this tech fail for some reason or the other (This is just my personal opinion from reading his prior articles). That is the kind of mindset he was in before he even started test driving this. On the other side you have Elon Musk who wants to sell people this new tech which will obviously have some issues in the beginning (which Musk would rather not talk about instead and blame everyone else for it.) .
The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
However, Musk's blog post was so convincing I almost find myself not rooting for John Broder at all!
The way we compete with China and India is by improving our skill sets and by automating our factories. If we don't need hundreds and thousands of workers as cheap labor, then we don't need to outsource of jobs. 3D printing is one example of tech that can help. AI may be can help too in this.
The other thing that can help is high skill tech jobs like game programming. If more and more folks in the US start learning skills that are sparse then we don't need as many folks from India to do the same jobs. There will be some outsourcing still due to greed/low wages etc but it wont be on such a large scale.
I always thought that Android was more of a project by Google just to make sure Apple has some competition in the market. Android was extremely sh*tty for a long time. Over time Android is no longer going to be supported by Google. I think Google does not care so much about open source. Its main goal is to gravitate people towards Linux-like OSes and ultimately make them use Chrome OS. That is the OS that they are going to put their heart and soul in. Think about it, whatever category you put Chrome OS in - mobile (Android), desktop/tablet(linux variants), there is always some other open-source non-Windows, non-MAC OS. Why would they need to make a new one?

This person Karo Michaelian has been screaming on the comments of the linked article that this research is not new apparently.
Can anyone with more info on this tell me how this earlier paper is different - arxiv.org/abs/0907.0042

Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I guess "alive" implies "being aware that reproduction is necessary to survive" at the most basic level?
So, I understand that what the article is trying to say in terms of Chemistry. Basically, these storms could provide both the raw materials and the energy required to create biotic molecules. My question though is at what point those molecules become alive? When do they start reproducing or even get the will/understanding the need to reproduce/split to survive?

I dont remember the last time we had a dept that was so pathetic, inefficient, useless, corrupt and annoying as the Dept. of Homeland Security. Why do these people even exist? I dont feel any safer with them being around at all. Just yesterday there was an article in Slate about how insecure airport perimeter security is. http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/02/20/airport_diamond_heist_it_is_shockingly_easy_to_breach_perimeter_security.html
