Thank you for sharing. IMHO it seems a stretch to say that the entire marine fish biomass in the world's oceans has declined by 80% based on a URL that is clearly indicating "fisheries". I am sure fisheries have declined but I doubt that extrapolates into a decline for everything else. Could even mean other fish species are enjoying a boon of food because we're removing some of their competition from the equation. Just thinking out loud.
I've always felt that our meatbrains have a pretty incredible capacity for taking WAGs at NP problems (i.e. traveling salesman). And I feel like an AI would just bring itself to its knees trying to find the 100% best solution to NP questions asked of it, so I wonder if there's some need for a bit of cognitive code that says "is this an NP question? IF yes, go to the WAG process"... Just a thought I had... someone probably already did that.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a dolphin is demonstrably smarter than a chicken and because of that people feel it is more likely to experience pain and suffering during this "fishing".
Not a personal opinion of mine, just one hypothesis for the reaction.
I did not RTFA (this is Slashdot you insensitive clod) but maybe the poor Zebrafish were just blinded by all the booze and therefore couldn't see the threat, which is not a behavioral change at all.
The truth is pretty simple: People who want to be distracted while driving will find a way to be distracted while driving. Doesn't matter if it's a cell phone, spacing out thinking about other things, eating a Royale with Cheese or any number of other possibilities. You can write laws until you're blue in the face but you aren't addressing the behavior with any of them. What we need is smart automobiles that can tell when the driver is getting a blo---errr, is distracted, and can compensate accordingly. Maybe even by driving the car autonomously for a few moments. Obviously it's not a coincidence that Google is working on just that kind of tech right now.
Missed a big portion of America: people who check their phones, even though they aren't on the clock, because they LIKE what they do and want to stay in the loop.
If they have created hydrogen atoms already, why wouldn't they just check to see if those atoms fall to the bottom of the container, or float to the top? I would guess these atoms are stored in a vacuum, so buoyancy isn't a concern.
As an avid amateur photographer I once tried lower-end, slower SD cards. The wait between shots of ~1 second (disregarding the camera buffer) means you cannot even preview your shots during that time. Instead you get to wait with a nice blinking LED on the back of the camera until the preview is ready. I found this nearly unbearable after only a dozen or so shots and when I got a chance I immediately spent the money on a faster card that allows previews basically immediately. NOTE: I am using a D800, so your mileage may vary on this... with 36mp RAW files I was waiting several seconds to just preview a shot.
Using your cheap DAC in that tablet to play music is practically a crime, or should be. It's going to sound terrible. There are some decent DACs out there for $99 that can run via Android with some customization. I realize this is more than the cost of your tablet... but seriously man, the sound is world's better.
A person in a position of power abused that power? Well color me surprised! I'm sure this has everything to do with DHS and nothing at all to do with the fact that every imaginable authority organization has had people who abuse their power since the dawn of time. Why is this news? Pursue your problem, get it resolved... But this is not "news for nerds" by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.
Look, how surprising is this really? I'd say about as surprising as the sun rising. Our cultural icons don't just cheat (think performance enhancing drugs) but when they are caught the repercussions are so minor (at least as portrayed by the media) that it makes cheating almost mandatory because everyone does it and when things are competitive or, say, graded on a curve, you're kind of screwed into following suit.
Connectivity is great but I want automation. I want to be able to wake up to a couple perfectly fried eggs and some bacon next to buttered toast. Thanks science.
It's not really about cores... per se. Titan, which is faster than Sequoia, has about one third of the cores. ( I realize you just wanted to say something related to the number 4 to point out the weirdness that is being able to name yourself perfectly in line with the UID you should have randomly been assigned... to which I say... wtf how)

Curious to know how you measured this 80% figure. A source would be nice.
This thing is gonna sell like hotcakes @ $100. I'll probably get two. You need to wake up, sir, the future is coming. ;)

Sadly, this isn't just a story about the IRS.
This is a story about pretty much any organization that has too little oversight and accountability.
You type pretty well for a dead guy.
The only people refusing to get vaccinated are the religious nut jobs here.
And they are the only ones getting the disease.
Please try again.
That's OK. That's where the "dirt" is found.
Anyway, it has always been worth what you pay for it.

Ah so just getting the detectors in place. Thanks.

Elastic? For a cloud? Yeah....I suppose.
I'll never play this, but I'm sure some people will enjoy it very much. I continue to wait for Titan.
No, there still is. It's just in little pieces all over the place now. It's a lot harder to render THAT than a bar of something.

Nintendo is not really about technology as much as innovative, fun games, for the whole family.

I believe Wikipedia still lists this as the world's fastest... which is in fact false. That title currently goes to ORNL's Titan.
