Theres good reason to be cautious, Microsoft doesnt exactly have a spotless record of playing nice with FOSS, but recent behavior , that is microsoft realising it can still make silly money selling Azure and various microsoft software packages to the linux world means that so far its been a pretty good citizen.
Now, I wonder if they'll eventually give us Office for linux. That'd make a LOT of suits happy.
The first stat was a dead giveaway that Hillary did not have a 99.8% chance of winning as polsters proclaimed on those same media outlets.
Actually it was between 60 to 80 percent depending on the time out from the vote, with it hovering near 60 towards the end. So a 2 in 3 chance. Well the dice rolled and it was 1. But hey, have a bark and ignore the underlying math if it makes you feel better, I guess.
Kellly and O'Reilly are left of center but for the sake of argument lets call them "fair"
Well thats one of the stranger opinions I've read this week.
A big factor is of course the cost of solar and wind, which are now already cheaper than coal and oil, even without subsidies
Ultimately I think its this factor that will make the difference. Although sadly the Fukushima incident has shattered public faith in the best solution of the lot, Nuclear. At this stage I'm hoping for breakthroughs in Thorium, or Fusion if it is indeed possible. Both are easier to sell to a pesimistic public than uranium fusion (That thorium has no outputs that can be used in nuclear weapons certainly helps too)
I once worked at a company that had lost 3.5 million in the previous year to hackers against half a million profit. From day one at that job I had identified the flaw and had been telling anyone who I could that it was serious and we needed to fix it. And constantly was told "We need to focus on new features". And you know what, even after the figures came out I *still* could not convince them to let me fix the security hole because they could claim it all back as "R&D tax credits". I quit the company in disgust.
Recently i was talking to a chinese gamer friend on teamspeak and we where joking about how much one could make goldfarming. Turns out he was dissatisfied of his wage of about $300 US a week working in a resturant. Thats not that far off what an American worker could expect. He was studying to work in IT, and told me his friends in IT are making just north of $1K a week, again not quite as much as an American worker, but still in the vicinity of "Western Wages".
Turns out in China people are worried about jobs going offshore to India, the Phillipines and increasingly to Africa.
We really need to figure out how to get off this train, globalism is all very well, but the race to lower costs is just going to lead to work going to the very lowest bidder while us in the west face the complicated question of what the hell do we do with highly educated masses of unemployed.
How exactly the GPL works is still unclear as not many cases have gone through the courts.
Actually its very well understood and has been tested again and again repeatedly in courts across the world.
If you combine someone elses GPL code with yours and you distribute it, you must distribute your code as well. If you dont like that, dont distriibute (Its entirely fine to do whatever you want with it internally, the GPL only covers distribution).
Variants: LGPL, assuming the code is only dynamically linked, you only need to distribute changes made to the LGPL code. Statically linked code functions mostly the same as the GPL, although some library authors permit static uses of a library to follow the same rules as dynamic uses as long as the changes to the library are distributed. AGPL, if you use the code on a server, users of the server are entitled to the code. This is a pretty strict license.
GPL3 has a few other bits and pieces related to patent defence and "tivoisation", Im not qualified to speak to, but the FSF have guides to these additions that are written in plain english by highly respected lawyers
It struck me that there is a "nuclear option" solution that would be highly illegal but highly effective. Every time one of these shitty IOT devices is found exploitable and the manufacturer doesn't bother to update , scan the whole damn net for that device and tell it to DDOS the manufacturer and not stop. The manufacturer would pretty quickly realise they have to get a patch out if they wish to remain a citizen of the internet. For added niceness make sure the user understands why their baby monitor is attempting to murder it's creator
I probably lost the best relationship of my life back in the 90s when my beautiful girlfriend decided to move out and leave me because I spent waaaay too much time on usenet instead of with her. And honestly, i think she was right. I fucked that one up good and proper. It sadens me how much of my life I've spent staring at a screen when theres so much good life out there waiting to be had.
Honestly a lot of it comes from circumstance of birth too. One thing I consistently find with wealthy clients, is their folks where wealthy too. They often had family help establishing their first businesses and had access to old money when it came to capital. Of course there are exceptions to that rule, but not a lot.
Or you could actually read the article, I know I know its hard so I did it for you. From the abstract of the journal article;-
The software, called ViZDoom, is based on the classical first-person shooter video game, Doom. It allows developing bots that play the game using the screen buffer. ViZDoom is lightweight, fast, and highly customizable via a convenient mechanism of user scenarios. In the experimental part, we test the environment by trying to learn bots for two scenarios: a basic move-and-shoot task and a more complex maze-navigation problem. Using convolutional deep neural networks with Q-learning and experience replay, for both scenarios, we were able to train competent bots, which exhibit human-like behaviors. The results confirm the utility of ViZDoom as an AI research platform and imply that visual reinforcement learning in 3D realistic first-person perspective environments is feasible.
So yes it is in fact learning to play from the screen data.
I agree. Hopefully they will ADD a USB port and not just leave us hanging. I would like to see an additional port on the opposite edge of my current charging port. Almost every USB implementation includes 2 available ports and they could utilize the existing boards without having to expand the size. I am also not really actively seeking a phone that is thinner overall, make it smaller to better fit in a pocket and flexible to better withstand the squashing effect.
To this I would add, make a nice metal detailing around the side with an aerial that can be "enhanced" by holding it a certain way, sell it in fancy shops with white decor and hipster attendants, and finally add IOS and call it "Iphone 4". Progress!
Here is another perspective based on non smoothed data.
Well there you go. Former television presenter, Anthony "My high school diploma is as valid as your PhD" Watts, just shot down those pesky scientists and their damn "facts" once again!
Next up, why evolution isn't real with "Actual scientist with bible degree" Gish!
Active directory, with PKI and kerberos (Theres PAM modules that'll do the heavy lifting here). Consider a proper password management system, like lastpass, or if compliance wont let you use the "cloud", I'm told Bruce Scheiners open source ones pretty good.
Couple that with a policy that enforces good password hygiene (Ie randomly generated lastpass passwords) and you might have a fighting chance of keeping your stuff safe-ish
The paper refers specifically to O2, and theres plenty of sources, as various chemical (and electrochemical , famously liberating O2 from water with electricity) sources.
Buuuut you'd have known that it was refering to O2 if you read the link instead of mashing post.
That would be contempt of court, and the arresting officer would be facing potentially serious jail time if coupled with deprivation of liberty charges.
Unfortunately big business has trampled roughshod over citizens rights, yet again.
Man SpaceX just can't catch a break. Two nasty explosions (One on the damn pad) and now serious danger of fire damage to launch facilities, although I assume the pad itself is probably pretty safe ( I mean what can a bush fire do that a rocket engine exploding to pieces cant , right? )

Assuming the organ damage isnt too far gone , it could damn well save the patient.

What "divorce revolution"? The divorce rate has been dropping steadily since the 1970s.
What exactly does this even *mean*?

Who said the ADL is of "the left"? or are we in "Jews = communism" wingnut territory here?

The original grand theft auto had a mission where you have a remote control car filled with explosives too

Maybe not lead (Lead is heavy!) but perhaps some sort of faraday cage might do the job?
A few times, but my coppers so old it probly counts as "archeology" by now.
I'd rather fibre.

The scientists told us not to go digging up those crab ships on mars, but did we listen? noooo....
