Easy, do it the same way RAID does it: redundancy.
RAID tends to choke bad if you got systemic faults like a bad batch of drives failing at the same time. What happens if a botnet launches a bunch of nodes, you upload some files and all the nodes which happen to have a specific piece of data is taken offline simultaneously? Data loss, that's what.
Photoshopping a single image can be done easily in ways that make the edits virtually undetectable, even for the casual home user. But an amateur attempting to edit two nearly-identical images (e.g., to modify body shapes, or skin tone, or to get rid of unwanted parts of the scene) would almost certainly leave behind inconsistencies that simple image analysis could detect....Today, that is.
And probably tomorrow too since for the most part what they want is to look good on Facebook, not successfully forge forensic evidence.
I've been a pretty big pack rat, in total I think I have 18TB of HDDs. But the last time I was considering expand or delete I started going through my collection and realized you know all these series and movies I'd keep because I might see them again? Guess what, I hardly ever do. First of all there's always something new, secondly if I pull up something old I often remember what's going to get happen and get too bored to actually wait for it to happen. And it's not like this stuff disappears off the Internet in case I find out that yes, I'd really like to watch that again.
I ended up deleting 5+ TB that I figured, what the heck I'll find it again if I need it. Haven't missed much of it and what I did miss was easily re-downloaded, I know I could delete more but hey I already have the disks. And I've kept a ton of unsorted that I haven't rifled through in ages but I'm keeping just in case I need to dig something out of that pile, where I assume 90%+ could be deleted if I'd bother to sort it. Sure I have some personal material but it fits in a small corner of the total.
Chris (Robotbeat) @Robotbeat 3h3 hours ago @dtarsgeorge @rocketrepreneur In aerospace, hydraulics are pressurized with gas (no pump) and no return lines. Pretty standard, actually.
300 x 170 is a real bad ratio, it's going to be a sloppy ride. A good stable ratio is in the 30 x 5 x 3 ( L x W X H ). I got to assume he knows something or the barge design is amazingly special dry bulk cargo barges are about 195' x 35' ( which is near the 6 x 1 ratio )
I have no idea what you're hinting at, a few quick searches indicate that the narrower beam (width) the less stable it gets. The shape of your average barge seems more about being able to traverse waterways and efficient loading/unloading at docks, for optimal stability it should probably be square with as low a center of gravity as possible.
Considering spaceX has navigated the rocket exactly where they wanted every landing attempt, I wonder when they will finally get permission to land on, um, actual land. For all we know the ship may have pitched up increasing the velocity that the rocket touched down. Plus I'm sure the poor visibility at sea couldn't have helped either.
Unless there was a huge storm in the area I doubt a 300'x170' barge has much of a pitch and in that case the rocket would probably be much worse off than the barge. And the telemetry shouldn't be much affected by dark and fog, just the cameras. To compare with airplanes I understand category IIIb airports are fairly routine now which means zero visibility landing, 150 feet runway visibility range. And that's basically just so they won't bump into each other while taxiing, zero RVR is possible but would require lots of instruments from runway to the gate and in most whiteout conditions you wouldn't want to be flying anyway because of the winds, not the visibility.
Yeah, I'm assuming what this means is that it touched down too hard, one or more of the legs bent/broke and the rocket tumbled over. Or all legs didn't get on the platform and it tipped over. Hopefully next time there's a daytime landing, telemetry and debris will presumably give SpaceX what they need watching it would be way cooler.
Wow, a 15W iGPU gets beaten by a 33W dGPU what a shocker.
Heck, the AMD stuff out performs it.
An A8-6410 which is AMDs best 15W part scores 2010 in futuremark, you can find the i7-4200 under chips with similar performance at 2310.
It just seems silly to have that much processor and an integrated graphics chip...
Today that's a misnomer, Intel's laptop chips are mainly a GPU with a small sideorder of CPU, just like AMD.
The top of the line chip i7-5557 will have 3.1 vs 2.2 GHz base frequency for the i7-5200 currently under review, 48 EUs vs 24 EUs and they'll run at 1100 vs 900 MHz at 28W vs 15W TDP. You can expect it to be at least 50%+ faster. And this is still Intel's mid range laptop chips (Broadwell-U), we're still waiting for their high end laptop chips (Broadwell-H) with 37/47W configurations. Clearly Intel isn't feeling much pressure there, since they seem to be in no big hurry to get those out.
Meh, everyone is aware that there are illegal guns, they're used in bank robberies and jewelry store heists and such. But for the average petty thief, robber or burglar they're not worth the cost/risk and apart from hunters during hunting season the risk of running into an armed person is basically zero. And the ones who go postal tend to stab the first one or two persons to death before they can get away, they don't rack up 10+ deaths with a gun. And yes there are less accidental lethal stabbings than gun accidents.
Unless I'm mistaken there were already two "friendly" guns here, the lifeguard and the police officer shot in the street. It doesn't do much against people in body armor with rifles who have the choice of venue and timing, element of surprise and will kill mercilessly. There'll always be soft targets, you can't protect everyone, all the time against an armed assault. Following the "everyone has guns brings peace" should mean there was hardly any gang violence at all, since the other side has guns too you wouldn't attack them right? Right? Doesn't work that way.
Norway's Christians didn't have to apologise for Anders Breivik, and it's the same for Muslims now.
That's comparing apples and oranges, Breivik for the most part killed Norwegian Christians belonging to a political youth party that he felt was "selling out" the country. Of the list of his 77 victims there's 11 with names I'd generally consider foreign leaving 66 that probably were ethnically Norwegian, from statistics around 80% would be nominally Christians. I say nominally because many belong to the state church without being very religious at all, but they wouldn't have any other religious affiliation. His action was more like the Muslim-on-Muslim slaughter in Pakistan, killing our own "fallen" over ideology.
It's usually half-assed. Like here's our local muslim leader
The chairman of the Muslim community in Trondheim deplore terrorism in Paris, but calls while stricter rules for what the media can publish. (...) Chilwan believes it is asking for trouble when the media continues to publish images that Charlie Hebdo does. - This has happened before in Denmark. We know that the consequences are dramatic. Why you should always pour fuel on the fire, ask Chilwan. Chilwan calls therefore stricter rules in the media for what can be published. - To adopt a law for this is too strong. But I think the ethical rules of the press must be defined in a better manner, where one agrees some ethical and moral values so that no one feels offended. It would be better for society, says Chilwan.
Lots of victim-blaming for provoking muslims, clear references that terror should be expected, calls for self-censorship and so on. Fuck him. Fuck all muslims that think like him. And they're not extremists and outcasts in the muslim comunity, they're leaders of mainstream organizations. Journalists and most of society just refuses to acknowledge that the "moderate" muslims are actually fringe radicals that don't have much popular support.
Having a fetish is a disorder? That's... going to cover a really huge percentage of the human species. Maybe it doesn't count if you don't act on it, but it's still a preference (as in, "Disorders of sexual preference")...
While the primary purpose of the ICD is to categories conditions you'd call disease, injury or mental illness, it also has a broad range of other conditions that may cause you to seek healthcare like for example being pregnant, in need of a vaccination or a natrual psychological reaction to a traumatic incident. A sexual fetish isn't necessarily a medical condition, but if you need to see a psychologist about it'll be recorded as such. If you want to get a sex change surgery, then being transgender will probably be listed as the diagnosis. That said, many countries exclude certain codes or code blocks from being used. In many cases they want the same information for statistical purposes though, they just don't call it a disorder.
As long as you're playing a fixed bet and not an exponential one (when in trouble, double) that hardly matters. Say you have 51-49 chance to win a coin flip. After ten flips it's 40-25-35. After 100 flips 54-8-38. After 1000 flips 73-2-28. After 10000 flips 97.8-2.2. And even when you have notoriously bad luck most of those will be "close" to breaking even, so the probability of going bust with a small bank roll is very slim. Let's take the 1000 flip example, I'll make money 73% of the time. With a 10 coin bankroll I'll survive 89% of the time, 20 coins 97% of the time and 30 coins 99.3% of the time. Sure theoretically there's always a chance of something, I could win the lottery every week for the rest of my life. It's roughly the same as this bot losing over the long run against lesser players.
Actually, the amount of NAND in Opportunity is 256MB, which isn't a lot. RAM is only 128MB; NAND is routinely given a full wipe and rewrite. Given it was only meant to last for 90 days, it's probably a low-grade MLC with under 5000 erase cycles reliability.
I very much doubt that. If you're going to spend that amount of money on sending it to Mars, you don't skimp on off-the-shelf technology that costs a few hundred bucks. You may have to ditch developing that custom system that'd increase the mission budget with a million dollars, but that's different. And if you want to make it as radiation-hardened as possible I doubt they'd go with anything but SLC for maximum signal strength. I doubt it has anything to do with write cycles which they presumably have full control over at all, it's probably from operating in the harsh environment for 11 years. No wonder it's getting a bit flaky.
I think it would have been too much of a risk to unilaterally decide in Britain to be the only newspaper that went ahead and published
Then don't. Call them up, sure you're competitors but at least some feel just like you. And if you manage to enlist some, more might join you. Accept conditionals if you have to like "If at least five national newspapers publish we will too" until you have five. Or you were the only one, in which case journalism is already pretty boned.
Anyone who wants to do this can do it with any bit of freeware on any machine. But why they would bother is beyond me.
Actually I got an example from work. Utility (that we can't easily change) expects file from disk. We must make corrections on file first. So process is:
1. Read original file 2. Apply corrections 3. Write out temp file 4. Point utility to file 5. Delete temp file
Writing a big file to any persistent media wastes quite a bit of time for no particular reason. So a RAM disk is quite useful if you need to pipe your process through files.
With the new Haswell-E processors, the CPU has 40 lanes of PCIe x4. So on a lot of high end x99 motherboards you'll see four PCIe gen3 x16 slots. However, since the CPU only has 40 lanes, this means not all of those "x16" slots are truely using 16 lanes of PCIe. Normally when four cards are plugged in, you'll get slot 0 running at x16, and the other three slots running at x8.
That's not really correct, high end motherboards usually have PLX chips which act like PCIe switches. Like the motherboard the GP listed runs at 16x/16x/16x/16x (or 16x/8x/8x/8x/8x/8x/8x) and only the total is limited to 40.
Mohamed Merah already filmed this killing spree with a GoPro, including killing two boys six and three as well as chasing down an eight year old girl in the school yard and shooting her in the head at point blank range. Al-Jazeera got the tape but refused to show it to anyone, oddly enough it never showed up on the Internet. So disgusting shit was still possible long before this gun cam.
There are lots of uses for a car or other vehicle that safely drives itself. For some reason, there are people who keep using 'self-driving' to mean something that sort of drives itself some of the time on some roads in some conditions, which is not the same thing.
I think the former and latter is much closer than you think and one in certainly on the way to the other. The big hurdle is creating a car where you're absolved from the legal responsibility of driving, if it still requires a legally fit and licensed driver to available and if it's only valid when it's sunny and dry on pre-approved roads at first that's the big leap. The reason it's the big leap is that this means the car must be able to determine itself when it's unfit to drive, it can't just suddenly throw the control back you at a moment's notice. That I might optionally hit the brakes and take the wheel as an emergency override because the car missed something is probably good particularly at first, as long as it's not legally required that I must. I don't think I'd be able to take my eyes of the road the first few times my computer drives me.
From there it will quickly expand to handle more and more roads in more and more conditions. They'll get data from manual interventions if you choose to share them, but if you're in an autonomous car already I don't see why not and work towards handling more and more situations itself. Once you get a high enough rate of intervention-free driving they can lobby to say let's create no-license cars that treat software failure like hardware failure, if the self-driving doesn't work you need road assistance. Sure that'll suck, but there's enough people who can't legally drive where it would still be a lot better than the alternatives. I just think we need to get it off the ground first and there the big seller is liberating commute time. I get in the car to work and can read the news or mail or play Angry Birds and watch YouTube while the car drives itself. That's the early wins to support the late wins.
And yet Europe is not in flames, despite the EU having around 20 million Muslims and lots of people who aren't shy to express their dislike of Islam. How odd. You'd almost think the perpetrators were simply homicidal maniacs who also happen to be Muslims.
Of course there are not 20 million madmen. But there's also not three. Thousands have left Europe to fight for IS, many more support them and millions more won't lifter a finger to stop them. And the common cause of all these "homicidal maniacs" is Islam. There's very little reason to believe any of them would be homicidal maniacs in general. And they're not manics, they're assassins and executioners. Go see that uncensored video and you'll see what I mean. As for the "Europe is not in flames" bit, I suggest you replay it with the Nazis and the 1930s. Because the answer remains no until suddenly it's yes.
The purpose of these strikes is to provoke non-Muslims into reacting without thinking. If Muslims are integrated into modern Western society, then religious fanatics will have no power over them. That's why they're trying to drive a wedge between Muslims and the rest. If you continue spouting absurd garbage like above, you're effectively supporting the terrorists.
No, the purpose of these strikes is to take away our freedom. Sure you can have freedom of speech - but you'll have an terrorist hit squad killing you for using it. Fear. Intimidation. Terror. They don't care that much about the divide, after all they're at war with a great many Muslims too. They expect the moderate Muslims will mostly quietly hate them - that's how a few tens of thousands of soldiers controls millions in Syria and Iraq - while we're the great external enemy. "Westernized" Muslims are no threat to the terrorists, they're used as proof to the average Muslim that we're trying to corrupt them and turn them away from true Islam.
I am all about being correct. And in this case, Islam is no more or less violent than Christianity is, if you judge it according to the respective holy book. Muslims take their holy book very seriously... I know that is an alien concept for Christians. What you could say is that the people, where Islam is predominant, seem to be uncivilized bastards, that would be another matter.
No, it's not. Bloody Mary burned 300 people at the stake for supporting the wrong kind of Christianity, if Christianity had stayed the same as it were 500 years ago we'd also be uncivilized barbarians. We've mostly changed, they mostly haven't. They could, but until then you've identified cause (Islam) and effect (uncivilized bastards), you just refuse to acknowledge it. And I don't mean just newspaper-bombing lunatics, I'm talking about countries where women can't drive a car, homosexuality carries a death penalty and so on..Unless they stop taking that damn book so seriously, the madness will continue.
Well that too but there's a long feedback loop from profits to production capacity, building a new process facility typically takes 3-4 years. AMD held the lead from mid 1999 (launch of Athlon) to early 2006 (launch of Intel Core). First they had to make some money on that achievement, this still being the dotcom days the stock flew through the roof until the dotcom bubble burst in early 2000. Everything tech-related came crashing down, you could buy AMD stock in 2002 for less than in 1999 despite their excellent products at the time. AMD probably had a helluva time finding funding to expand.
So if you don't get serious ramp-up capital until 2002, well you're not going to get it online until 2005-2006 and if you look at the stock charts then January 2006 is when they peaked. All looked bright, AMD still had the best product and finally the production capacity to knock Intel out of the driver's seat. Then Intel Core gave them a real kick to the nuts. They just couldn't sell as much as they had planned for, the financial burden from the fabs was dragging the whole company down. That's the trouble with betting too much on growth, when you fail you fail hard. But then everyone had been shouting build more, take down Intel. Hindsight is easy.

I think the former and latter is much closer than you think and one in certainly on the way to the other. The big hurdle is creating a car where you're absolved from the legal responsibility of driving, if it still requires a legally fit and licensed driver to available and if it's only valid when it's sunny and dry on pre-approved roads at first that's the big leap. The reason it's the big leap is that this means the car must be able to determine itself when it's unfit to drive, it can't just suddenly throw the control back you at a moment's notice. That I might optionally hit the brakes and take the wheel as an emergency override because the car missed something is probably good particularly at first, as long as it's not legally required that I must. I don't think I'd be able to take my eyes of the road the first few times my computer drives me.
From there it will quickly expand to handle more and more roads in more and more conditions. They'll get data from manual interventions if you choose to share them, but if you're in an autonomous car already I don't see why not and work towards handling more and more situations itself. Once you get a high enough rate of intervention-free driving they can lobby to say let's create no-license cars that treat software failure like hardware failure, if the self-driving doesn't work you need road assistance. Sure that'll suck, but there's enough people who can't legally drive where it would still be a lot better than the alternatives. I just think we need to get it off the ground first and there the big seller is liberating commute time. I get in the car to work and can read the news or mail or play Angry Birds and watch YouTube while the car drives itself. That's the early wins to support the late wins.
And yet Europe is not in flames, despite the EU having around 20 million Muslims and lots of people who aren't shy to express their dislike of Islam. How odd. You'd almost think the perpetrators were simply homicidal maniacs who also happen to be Muslims.
Of course there are not 20 million madmen. But there's also not three. Thousands have left Europe to fight for IS, many more support them and millions more won't lifter a finger to stop them. And the common cause of all these "homicidal maniacs" is Islam. There's very little reason to believe any of them would be homicidal maniacs in general. And they're not manics, they're assassins and executioners. Go see that uncensored video and you'll see what I mean. As for the "Europe is not in flames" bit, I suggest you replay it with the Nazis and the 1930s. Because the answer remains no until suddenly it's yes.
The purpose of these strikes is to provoke non-Muslims into reacting without thinking. If Muslims are integrated into modern Western society, then religious fanatics will have no power over them. That's why they're trying to drive a wedge between Muslims and the rest. If you continue spouting absurd garbage like above, you're effectively supporting the terrorists.
No, the purpose of these strikes is to take away our freedom. Sure you can have freedom of speech - but you'll have an terrorist hit squad killing you for using it. Fear. Intimidation. Terror. They don't care that much about the divide, after all they're at war with a great many Muslims too. They expect the moderate Muslims will mostly quietly hate them - that's how a few tens of thousands of soldiers controls millions in Syria and Iraq - while we're the great external enemy. "Westernized" Muslims are no threat to the terrorists, they're used as proof to the average Muslim that we're trying to corrupt them and turn them away from true Islam.
I am all about being correct. And in this case, Islam is no more or less violent than Christianity is, if you judge it according to the respective holy book. Muslims take their holy book very seriously... I know that is an alien concept for Christians. What you could say is that the people, where Islam is predominant, seem to be uncivilized bastards, that would be another matter.
No, it's not. Bloody Mary burned 300 people at the stake for supporting the wrong kind of Christianity, if Christianity had stayed the same as it were 500 years ago we'd also be uncivilized barbarians. We've mostly changed, they mostly haven't. They could, but until then you've identified cause (Islam) and effect (uncivilized bastards), you just refuse to acknowledge it. And I don't mean just newspaper-bombing lunatics, I'm talking about countries where women can't drive a car, homosexuality carries a death penalty and so on..Unless they stop taking that damn book so seriously, the madness will continue.
Well that too but there's a long feedback loop from profits to production capacity, building a new process facility typically takes 3-4 years. AMD held the lead from mid 1999 (launch of Athlon) to early 2006 (launch of Intel Core). First they had to make some money on that achievement, this still being the dotcom days the stock flew through the roof until the dotcom bubble burst in early 2000. Everything tech-related came crashing down, you could buy AMD stock in 2002 for less than in 1999 despite their excellent products at the time. AMD probably had a helluva time finding funding to expand.
So if you don't get serious ramp-up capital until 2002, well you're not going to get it online until 2005-2006 and if you look at the stock charts then January 2006 is when they peaked. All looked bright, AMD still had the best product and finally the production capacity to knock Intel out of the driver's seat. Then Intel Core gave them a real kick to the nuts. They just couldn't sell as much as they had planned for, the financial burden from the fabs was dragging the whole company down. That's the trouble with betting too much on growth, when you fail you fail hard. But then everyone had been shouting build more, take down Intel. Hindsight is easy.
When you talk Southern Hemisphere dont forget to include Brazil, the world's 7th economy. Who wants/needs to go to S.A.?
What does that arbitrary line have to do with anything? From New York all of Brazil would be in range, take a look at a map.
They have defective bullshit detectors, it''ll sell.
