  1. So according to newspapers Lamarck rules in space? That would be his final revenge.

  2. Maybe he has to build a fire-wall.

  3. Re:A move to win users from bitbucket on GitHub Free Users Now Get Unlimited Private Repositories (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Presumably many people keep or contribute to public projects on github because it's the most used one, and keep their private stuff on bitbucket or gitlab because it's free, so offering them a chance to unify everything in one place could actually be a huge win for github.

  4. A move to win users from bitbucket on GitHub Free Users Now Get Unlimited Private Repositories (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Bitbucket is the place you go if you want a free private git repository on the cloud, so this is simply competition, not goodwill.

  5. Impress their government to not be fired, or worse?

  6. Possibly they owe the volunteers writing Wikipedia contents, not Wikipedia.

  7. Re:No I in AI on Machine Learning Confronts the Elephant in the Room (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    I think computers may have intelligence without necessarily having a conscience, if we agree on these terms. If computers and robots will become able to do everyday tasks like or better than humans, that's ok even if they don't "feel" like humans. In fact I think the latter would be counterproductive.

  8. Following experiment went well on Machine Learning Confronts the Elephant in the Room (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    They made the system recognize objects in a china shop, then added a bull. They say with that they covered all the cases.

  9. Re:There goes most encryption on Famed Mathematician Claims Proof of 160-Year-Old Riemann Hypothesis (soylentnews.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually many theorems on prime numbers rely on the hypothesis that Riemann's conjecture is true. A proof of it would only confirm them.

  10. I don't know, people does not change behavior so suddenly, especially people with a big personality like him, sounds more like a nervous breakdown to me, or depression or something similar, maybe related to too much work and stress.

  11. Yes, another Linux custom distro! on System76 Linux Computer Maker Offers a Sneak Peek Into Its New Factory (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Just what the world needed!

  12. Also... They don't build their laptops... (a few lines later)... And they build them in the USA!!! Yeaaaah!!!

  13. Re:It's a Calculation problem on We May Be All Alone In the Known Universe, a New Oxford Study Suggests (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, evolution doesn't work by blind chance of course, that being the wrong assumption most religious people throw at evolutionists, but don't you think that at the very beginning the first self-replicating molecules or proto-cells must have originated randomly? Because otherwise your definition of "religious" is reversed with respect to mine.

  14. Re:It's a Calculation problem on We May Be All Alone In the Known Universe, a New Oxford Study Suggests (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't know, it's true that there are billions of billions of stars and planets, but thinking of the billions of billions ways how random atoms and molecules can combine, to obtain something that vaguely resembles life, i.e. starting replicating and self-organizing and all the rest, I think it's not so absurd to think that it could have happened only a very few times in all the universe.

    Or the right to use punctuation in a title.

  18. Re:and your solution is? on Linus Torvalds Calls Intel Patches 'Complete and Utter Garbage' (lkml.org) · · Score: 2

    Intel should fix this, but realistically they cannot come and replace the silicon on your chip, and most cpus are out of production or soldered in notebooks. So what? We're in an apollo-13-like situation, we must fix things with what is possible, no matter how ugly.

  19. What a disappointment on Hackers Could Blow Up Factories Using Smartphone Apps (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    So the guy from Mr. Robot was not that genius?

  20. 64 MB? on Can You Install Linux On a 1993 PC? (yeokhengmeng.com) · · Score: 1

    This is too much RAM to be realistic in a 1993's 486.

  21. Don't want to be arrogant, but... on ReactOS 0.4.7 Released (reactos.org) · · Score: 1

    I tried it a couple of times recently when I needed support for peripherals with windows-only drivers, so one of the few cases where ReactOS would be really useful for something, and both times some parts of the system were not working or not implemented. So I think nobody needs a windows replacement that only works for running high-level applications.

  22. Re:So how is google going to remove something from on Google Working To Remove MINIX-Based ME From Intel Platforms (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering, where is this OS resident? As a software, I mean. I think it would not be practical to have it on an immutable ROM, maybe the chipset has a flash memory inside, and maybe they can find a way to access it?

    First handheld cell phone from Motorola in 1973 was quite big, and they said it was a huge research and manufacturing effort to squeeze components down to that size with 70s technology.

  25. What about artificial photosynthesis? They're working on it.
