From what I observe, the weather report is stunningly inaccurate, to the point that I don't even consult it any more except for major trends, and I don't take seriously the idea that something will or won't happen on any given day. I live near Mendocino, CA, and the weather report is all but worthless. Rain pretty much always starts a day earlier or later than is claimed for this location. It was terrible when I lived slightly further inland, in Kelseyville, as well. We had a rise on the property and if I wanted to know what the weather would be even that same day, I had dramatically better results just going up on the little hillock (which, as an aside, is a nascent volcano) and looking in the direction the wind was coming from.
It's actually worse than that, because most of the time they don't even know what the weather is doing RIGHT NOW. They say it's raining, it isn't. They say it's clear, it's raining.
Maybe you get better results inland, when they have all that fancy high-resolution doppler radar to play with, but out here on the northern portion of the left coast the weather report is worthless. Wear layers, and if it even conceivably might rain, bring one that's waterproof.
The bad guys are testing our security constantly along with all the bots and black hats, and they already know what's vulnerable. This is to protect the guilty, not the innocent.
It would seem that if Foxconn's business is so tied to Apple maybe they should diversify. Building a display plant that doesn't rely on Apple would seem to be a good strategic move.
If Apple cuts back production, then they can build stuff in their existing plants, where they will have excess capacity. If they don't, then they don't need to. You can be sure that Foxconn is always trying to get different customers, whether their business with Apple produces more, less, or the same amount of business as last year.
It's not "Bell", it's "Bell Canada". They were simply the Canadian arm of the American Bell Telephone Companyuntil 1975. Sounds like they still have the spirit of the original... You know, "We don't care, we don't have to, we're the phone company."
"Domain names are just internet real estate, wouldn't expect it to be any other way."
Still offensive, and the worst offenders are registrar squatters. It's like filing for a trademark, and the government burning your application and filing for it themselves. Registrars should be prohibited from owning more than one domain.
I looked into getting cardot.com with the idea of running slashcode or similar and having an automotive discussion site. It's being squatted by Uniregistry, and I hope Frank Schilling fucking chokes on it.
Domain squatters should go up against the wall first when the revolution comes.
Both candidates knew the rules of the games before they played, so fair is fair and like it or not,Trump won fairly.
What? No he didn't. Even if Trump didn't know about it (which is unlikely, but let's posit) his campaign definitely colluded with Russia to manipulate the election illegally. There's nothing fair about that.
Prevent? No. Make more complicated? Yes. You will probably have to install certs manually. But if you don't have a way to deliver files to your clients, and run commands on them, then you aren't in charge of those machines anyway.
"That sounds extremely unlikely. It would be very easy to detect and very obvious that multiple papers from a single university were being mysteriously plagiarised in China."
It would not be easy to detect once translated, because machine translation still produces extremely uneven results. Plus, you'd have to be looking. Finally, the GP explicitly said that these were unpublished papers. It would actually explain a lot! China's science publishing volume skyrocketed relatively recently, and they publish the largest percentage of material which turns out to be horse shit that no one ever actually researched. The idea that they're publishing papers which were deemed unworthy of publication in other countries fits this idea perfectly. Just omit anything by an author who actually does publish, and you cut the risk of detection dramatically. And if they get caught, they'll just execute some scapegoats, and the world will complain only briefly for fear of getting someone else killed. At least, that's the historical pattern.
"There also isn't much to gain from it - publishing scientific papers brings some kudos but the whole point of it is to make the ideas public and share them with others."
No. That might be the whole point if we were just a bunch of computers or something, but there are plenty of other reasons to publish, human reasons like getting paid, or the fact that prolific publishers have more credibility in some eyes.
"You are a plague to this planet, wanting your fucking AI to rule over the world. "
Humans are doing a shit job.
"Cramming a microphone into a stethoscope to alleviate unwanted noise is far from AI. My earphones can do it. Of course only when they are powered by extra battery."
That's not the clever part.
"Creating 100 dollar price equipment to replace a 5 dollar one will not save more people."
It also replaces the physician.
Granted, it only replaces them for the one task, but there are other technologies which replace them for other tasks. And as it turns out, a doctor with advanced aids to diagnosis is better than either a computer or a doctor alone.
" To alleviate outside noise, just need a quiet room."
There's no such thing in a busy disaster shelter, or on the side of the road, or in a war zone.
"When we will build AI, the stethoscope will become immediately obsolete in comparison with the handheld star trek tricorder."
Tricorders require additional sensor technology, not just signal processing. Also, we may never build real AI, or it may make US obsolete.
You have it completely backwards. The stethoscope won't have a bad day, it doesn't have ear wax, and it doesn't have to go to school. And the data will be produced through analysis, and it will have heard more conditions than any doctor. Doctors expect pneumonia. Computers don't. They process signals and match patterns.
In the future, doctors may be rare, and involved in only the very strangest and most complex cases, while nurses with advanced diagnostic equipment handle the routine stuff. And the computers will learn from the doctors, and health care will improve as a result.
As for the beginning of your comment, there is a world-wide shortage of doctors at the moment. I don't know how it works in other countries, but in this one the AMA has made it difficult to become one in a lot of irrelevant ways, which is to say they don't improve overall quality. Washing someone out because they don't perform well in an ER environment when they might be a perfectly good practitioner in other contexts, for example. Not every doc needs to work in the ER. We cannot survive your plan.
That's disingenuous. When people kill themselves with a firearm, they may or may not have done it by other means. And those other means may or may not involve other people. They might throw themselves off a bridge, or in front of a train. So the actual figure of relevance is how many people would not have killed themselves without easy access to a firearm, less the number of lives (or even hours) lost if they used other means which harm other people, like getting really drunk and then driving across a highway median.
No my argument is that if Apple is doing terrible right now in phones and that severely affects Foxconn in parts of their business that has nothing to do with Apple (displays), maybe Foxconn is terribly managed.
Apple is one of their largest customers. It would not be surprising if a major reduction in Apple's business led to a substantial reduction in Foxconn's.
I personally think it's only one reason of several, but it does seem reasonable that it's contributory.
See.. "Rest of the world warmer than normal" Proof of global warming. Record cold in US, its weather not climate.
Tovarisch, these things are happening at the same time. The globe is overall warmer right now even though it's cold in the USA, and the fact that the cold is in the USA right now is weather caused by the current condition of the climate. You don't even understand the argument well enough to troll convincingly.

We're at about 4% unemployment,
It looks like you're using the U-3. Try using the U-6, which is at least closer to reality.
Your arguments appear to be very similar to those of apologists for an ideological and statist competitor.
If you're going to go that way, why don't you talk about Cisco's statism? NSA backdoors for days.

Seems like the title should read "Money Laundering Outfit Now Accepts Credit Cards".
How about "New Way to Steal Funds via Credit Card"?
Nobody calls it Bell Canada. It's just Bell. The website and stores are branded Bell
I'm taking exception to the headline. It should read "Telco Bell Canada..."
It's not "Bell", it's "Bell Canada". They were simply the Canadian arm of the American Bell Telephone Company until 1975. Sounds like they still have the spirit of the original... You know, "We don't care, we don't have to, we're the phone company."

Holy shit, did you just cite convicted defamers and political activist group SPLC in a "citation needed" link?
Nope. They settled that case. And there's nothing even slightly illogical about citing a political activism group in such a case, either.
Prevent? No. Make more complicated? Yes. You will probably have to install certs manually. But if you don't have a way to deliver files to your clients, and run commands on them, then you aren't in charge of those machines anyway.
Is Apple their largest customer? Foxconn manufactures for practically every major player in the industry. Apple is their most visible customer.
Well, I don't know for sure (I didn't look at financials) but Android Authority claims so.
And Foxconn might be Apple's largest manufacturer.
Same disclaimer as above, but CNBC says so.
