I suppose Yale was destined to get around to this eventually, I suppose they just needed more time...
Or maybe they got to it first. Now that time crystals are a thing, how can we be certain. Personally I blame Obama. This never would have happened if Romney won the election. Thank god we only have another year of him, and it's not like Obama will win a second term.
I have no doubt that 2 of the people in this process were completely useless in most of the work they do.
I think the lesson here is that if you want to find pointless jobs, just look in highly bureaucratic systems
Bureaucratic systems don't appear out of nowhere. Often they are built up from incidents: We need to verify! Fine let's add a step. The second person in the step made the same mistake the first person did. Fine let's add a step. The third person in the step...
To the outside they look pointless, it could very well be that each person was looking at a different portion of the paper. It could very well be that one of them was in charge of making sure the other 3 were not corrupt. It's easy to assume lots of people are pointless if you assume that one person has complete authority and autonomy. But like all assumptions there's often a reason why they don't pan out.
The anthropology professor could have got his/her pretty little lily-clean hands dirty and fixed the shelf him/herself.
Errr no. You've clearly never worked in a government department, education system, fortune 500 company, or a smaller company which has a partially unionised workforce if you think you would be allowed to fix the shelf yourself.
He's saying that there was a guy who's primary job seemed
And this is fundamentally the problem with his premise. Most of the things he complains about is not someone's primary job, but rather some single side part of their job. The guy postulated that there's a man employed to apologise, but in reality there's a man employed to manage facilities with the incredible amount of shit that comes with it who occasionally will have to apologise because of backlogged work.
The key words were in the first line of the second paragraph: "to the outsider". In otherwords, you have no idea what's going on and don't claim to understand what people's jobs actually entail.
I do trust them that it took place. I mean this is such an obvious criminal use for drones that it has been part of many movies and TV series. And we do know for certain that drones are already used by criminals for some thing.
I fully believe it happened. I don't support any efforts to prevent it on a legislative level. If the FBI is worried about this they should take measures to protect themselves in their local space (signal jamming, buckshot, net gun, etc)
AFAIK Exchange only ever marked the email as expired. The process relied on the end user's Outlook settings for auto-archiving to run, and for auto-archiving to delete expired emails, and for auto-archiving to empty the trash.
I have not used Outlook for a few years, but even then automatic email deletions were standard.
No it wasn't. It was highly dependent on the end user's settings. In order for an email to automatically delete itself it would need to be sent with an expiry, the auto-archive feature needs to run, and the auto-archive feature needs to be permitted to delete emails. It was completely dependent on the end user's settings.
I for one agree. We absolutely need to keep our government (which we pay for) accountable.
While I agree in principle, given the myriad of ways in which a government can already circumvent this (e.g. not sending an email, private server, private email address) I find it hard to get worked up about ${SPECIFIC_CASE}
I know. I was just calling out my own local zoning laws that led to a dense residential apartment area with every single building being exactly 4 stories high. No one wants to pay the ongoing maintenance of one or multiple elevators in a building as required by a 5th floor:-)
Autopilot if followed exactly as Tesla recommends is a system that keeps the car in the lane and brakes when it sees a hazard. It requires the driver to be paying attention. So it doesn't save lives...
Does that mean that we should remove all the lane assist features and auto braking features of all the other cars as well or is Tesla somehow special in that only Tesla's implementation gets criticised while every other car company gets a free pass?
Side note: My friend owes his life to his Nissan Qashqai's Intelligent Emergency Braking feature. But I don't hear the media raging against this car manufacturer despite effectively doing exactly the same thing as Autopilot. I haven't used the Intelligent Breaking but the lane assist works really well especially when travelling from a right driving country to a left driving country and picking it up as a rental.
Mind you it doesn't make the program any less questionable, especially if the techno jargon you're hiding is the performance features.
Hey come buy the new Ford Mustang by Ford, because Ford Ford. It has some seats, and all the horsepowers. It has the things you expect, supports all kinds of drivers, and comes in red and black, wheels included in price. God I miss car analogies.
Both of which is a significant portion of the charm. Each of which have been used to create shows in their own right (fireworks that are used just for synchronised sounds, and fireworks which give off different coloured smoke for use in the daytime).
I know I'd much rather listen to noisy fireworks than 1218 drones. I know I'd much rather listen to noisy fireworks than 1218 drones. Sentence used twice for the two different definitions of "drone".
People should care about amateur status. It deserves to be elevated above the same achievement of a professional. When amateurs achieve something professionals do not it becomes evidence that achievements in a field are borne out of talent rather than grinding. It shows that you can achieve without funding and fancy equipment.
This "Innovation" has been around since at least Windows 7.
As fun as it is to pick on the word innovation in this sense, I double tap the Surface pen button and I end up with a screenshot dumped right into a drawing panel where I can instantly freehand annotate, crop, and finally save or dump the result to clipboard, and if you insist on using a keyboard shortcut then winkey+printscreen will achieve the same thing.
The Snipping tool may have been nice, but its replacement is nicer and equally userfriendly.
Interestingly on Windows 10 the snipping tool doesn't automatically enter screenshot mode when you open it which is a bit of a pain. The cynic in me would suggest this is MS trying to cripple the tool and drive people to its replacement.
English is a continuously evolving language. Mind you the same evolution which brought us the White Royal Horse also brought us the Naked Molerat so make of that what you will.
how are they ever going to solve for this, because whatever it chooses will be wrong
Do what humans do. Step on the brake and hope for the best. The goal of self driving cars is not to solve moral question that don't actually apply in the real world anyway.

I never not had an HTC fall apart within a year.
My sister's current HTC is the only one that has survived* for longer than 9 months.
*This post is about my sister, not about her phones.

Nvidia didn't say that. Digitaltrends did.

Elevators are the reason we want to build things more than four stories high.
Depending on building codes and financing, elevators are often the reason we don't want to build things more than four stories high. :-)

We're not telling you anything. We'll just quote you without context:
I'm too stupid to "get" it
*gag*. I'm not sure where on the color spectrum "emotional information" lives
Green which is probably why you gagged.

I'm sorry but autonomous cars should never need a connection to an Active Directory server.
