I completed my CS degree in 1991 and my A-level CS 3 years before (in the UK). There we no specific textbooks back then either, but there were a lot of books to buy if you wanted to succeed. Various languages, electronics books, computer architecture books, formal methods books, graphics algorithms etc. Some of the lecturers published a list of "books you might like to get". No teaching was directly from a book. When did it become expected that a CS course needs a textbook?
The poster was claiming a statement to be literally true (as opposed to being a figurative statement). The statement being that Intel is 10 times as large as AMD when measured by revenue.
AMD reported Q3 2017 revenue as $1.64 Bilion. Intel reported Q3 2017 revenue as $16.1 Billion.
So 10X isn't far off. X is often used as shorthand for times. If this bothers you, then I can't help you. Sorry.
Seriously, are we out of real scientific problems to study?
Yes, in some fields we reached the point where the final scientific question can only be logically answered with... God!
A solution (for desperate scientists): extend science to philosophical fields (and try to sound as less ridiculous as possible while giving ridiculous explanations for something that can be perfectly logically explained with... God!)
* I am a Christian Greek - even without my personal experience of God, i think i (as my famous ancestors) could understand the perfectly logical philosophical answer:...God!
The correct response to that is not "God". It's "Jesus" as in "Jesus H Fucking Christ".
>Presumably, quantum entanglements are not conduits for information signaling
Entanglement is exactly a conduit for transmitting information. It just isn't a conduit for transmitting it faster than light. The entangled particle is subject to the same speed limit. You can interrogate it instantly, but you had to wait for it to arrive first.
A CAN bus is a serial bus used in cars. You could have googled that.
If you need 'security' you have to harden the devices connected to it, not the bus.
Well both if you think 'defense in depth' is a useful concept in secure design.
In cars, CAN bus has been the conduit through which a hacker cracking the bluetooth audio is able to mess with the brakes. Ask Jeep. https://www.wired.com/2015/07/...
I've designed CAN bus systems in the past. There is no security aspect to the protocol. No authentication, no integrity, no encryption, no ACLs. People have been proposing them at conferences.. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/doc... . But with ISO in the mix, there is unlikely to be a quick path to fixing this.
TCL didn't seem to play nicely with larger codebases. It grew spaghetti properties like BASIC did. Even the semiconductor CAD tools are switching to python these days.
At college, circa 1990, I took a look at PERL and Python, found PERL to be messy and I've stuck with Python as my main scripting language. 27 years later I don't think it was a bad choice.
Companies want flashy pretty webpages. Developers prefer to produce something else.
I only look for jobs that use Simulink, Matlab, and embedded C/C++. But that's because I have no desire to ever be near the web front end. I know nothing professionally about TCP/IP but have CAN memorized.
CAN! They sure did a good job putting security features into that protocol.
Go here https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought... and you really don't want to not tell the DVLA, or all the new owners fines will come to you, Getting a signed bill of sale is a good idea too.
Conversely, when buying a car privately, get the ‘new keeper’s details’ slip (V5C/2) from the seller and tell the DVLA at the same web site. The buyer will need to pay tax also.
If the cars were purchased a long time ago (before the perpetual licensing) and kept on private property, they may never have registered and licensed them. this is a sensible thing to do in the circumstances. The car tax isn't free. That would explain why they couldn't find the owners. The owner had forgotten they owned them and hadn't done the paperwork.
Of course they could prove otherwise. The registration has their name on it. The owners have the receipts for the purchase of the car in a box in the shed. It's insured in their name. It's been in their driveway for the past few years.

They ask for consent individually for each study.
Yes. I've had the same experience several times on United. One benefit is that you can get to the desk and change your booking before the crowd knows.
Nice post, except for...

IEEE 1394 is not a floating point standard. IEEE 754 is.

Usually, when people use X to mean times, they do it with a lowercase x.
In an ideal world, people would use the unicode multiplication symbol U+00D7

They're more like a "frenemy", as much as I dislike the word.
A frenemy with benefits?
How is China a US enemy?
How is it you're even fucking asking this question? I can't even remember a time when they were not considered an enemy by the US Government.
That doesn't really answer the question 'how'. The US government considers many wrong things to be right.
there != they're != their
Your right!
It was pretty clear to me. Are you always this troubled?
Yes. There are many black holes in the universe.
No, there's a lot more to it than that. It's quite provably not the same as having two envelopes with hidden contents.
Yup. See and understand Bell's inequality for the details.

I don't understand what that has to do with this story?
It's funny because 10 years ago we didn't have Lyft and Uber.

So ... then ... if I steal a car in the UK it's mine because the owner can't prove otherwise?
I'm sure I'm missing something, but that sounds really fucking broken.
How the fuck do you establish ownership?
If someone steals your bag of bagels, how do you establish ownership?
It's a car park to us you septic cunt. Fuck off with meddling with our language, you have FAR bigger problems.
I dare you to wander around Londonistan waving an Israeli flag.
The likely outcome is that nothing would happen. Maybe your weak arm would get tired. Also onlookers would judge you as being insensitive.
They're the government. They can install their own wires if they like.
Is there any evidence that iTunes was actually designed?
