Since US government embedded spy module into Cisco network equipment, Huawei copycat, when pirating the Cisco stuff, copied the spy module and channeled that to Chinese government instead. So it's all a matter of choosing whose economy you want to support and whose spy department you want your communication to be tapped on. We can't escape.
I guess proper hardware fixes will constitutes new instructions (or new ring), so that a user-mode program can tell the CPU which part of codes are from untrusted internet and to be further sandboxed against side-channel attack, while code not crossing the boundary can be kept high-performance.
If it's not plain text then it doesn't belong in the body of an email. That's what attachments are for.
Windows Live Mail (the official download for Win 7 is already removed, and the "web-installer" exe file that novice users downloaded in the past no longer work of course) can do HTML signature.
Outlook Express 6 (included in Win XP) can do HTML signature too.
Abolishment of DST should be accompanied by a state-wide adoption of dual timetables for each schools and offices, which states a earlier starting time for summer and later starting time for winter.
Then each schools and offices can then make decisions later on, whether that two schedules should be exactly 1-hour apart, if additional fine-tuning is even better, or merging them into one, all in a case-by-case status. There can be even schools that use 1 timetable and schools that use 2 sitting in nearby communities so children can choose schools that they like.
DST vs standard is stiff. Dual-schedule is flexible. Relying on the government to do daylight planning is so socialist.
People can always feel offended. Misinformation spread always. But when one try to stop misinformation via censorship, it is just authority brand's misinformation that spreads and rulers' heart that got protected, while the people suffer.
Doctors generally won't comment on this particular side-effect of some anti-depressants, because nobody wants to admit that it could actually cause other types of problems... but some anti-depressants could be more accurately described as "anti-emotion" pills. This means that they actually cause you to feel less emotion than you would otherwise, both negative and positive. I've personally observed the impact that this can have; someone that I used to know who was incredibly empathetic, selfless and loving, but also prone to occasional bouts of depression, was put on a pill... which essentially eliminated all of those things. It certainly eliminated her depression, but it also quite literally changed her entire personality, and I would argue that it wasn't all for the better, for her or for those around her.
Always be careful, when substituting pills for real problem solving. Sometimes, you will end up losing the person you loved, in the process.
These kind of comments is what really matters. Only anti-science crowd would think antidepressants does not "work". What matters is whether the result of those pills is what we truly desire.
Aside from the effect of the pills, another matter is do we want ourselves or who we love be drug dependent.
and even actual digital-to-analog conversion and back again.
Which is exactly what they do in the article. But the restriction of binary weight means the chip in design is incompatible with current mainstream neural networks.
You see this happens logically when so many computer-knowledgeable people (may be self-proclaimed but still...) rant and claim they will always spend extra effort to opt-out telemetries.
There is some value in knowing that only 0.1% of your customers use some obscure hardware or software -- if your goal is to discontinue support for those items.
If your goal is to find excuse to discontinue support that is. There is zero guarantee that those that use obscure hardware / software will have opt-in'd or not opt-out'd your data collection scheme.
To do a proper survey, one should follow a procedure like this:
- List hardware / software that is planning to end support in the next or second next version
- Introduce a software package that scan and check whether one's computer will face issue if such end support plan is implemented as is
- Give warning to user if such software / hardware are found and show which are they
- Then provide a option to send this report to your company, and tell the user that if enough unique client computers send it, the old hardware / software will stay supported a while longer
Any other silent data collection won't help a bit.
Power users tend to turn off this kind of telemetries. So what they end up collecting are always habit of less knowledgeable computer users. Features that advanced users need are often looked "rarely used / unnecessary" from such stats. The end result is a wrongly done dumb down of interface.
Now another company fails to realize that and going to mess up their design again.
Fortunately digital cameras are being superseded by smartphones bit by bit. When smartphone camera grow good, it's about time for ARM/Apple/Google to introduce a format that can replace proprietary RAW, with all the lossless data of those raw.
Because the US has the highest tax rates in the world, both on businesses and people, especially the insane rates that Obamacare burdens people with. China is a lot more business friendly, and most of these companies are beholden to them anyway, due to manufacturing interests. It is actually amazing that most of these companies have not moved their headquarters to Hong Kong already because of this.
When you say China is a lot more business friendly, you forgot the hidden cost of corruption and the messy internet censorship. China built a firewall so people may not access Google, Facebook, Whatsapp and sometimes even Github. Recently they banned VPN apps.
Hong Kong is not walled yet but the land price is high so putting a headquarter here is expensive.
It doesn't matter if other systems can promote/select a smarter leader for a country, if that leader is not serving the people but serving other insidious purpose.
Meanwhile, if a country is too big so that an average+20 IQ person is not smart enough to lead to good direction, then maybe we need smaller countries. A super-smart leader may be able to point the direction better, but he can't convince people to agree that direction is better in an honest way anyway.
If you have computer voting with a paper audit trail, how will you handle when the two have different results? Will paper be considered the official tally? The computer results? If the two never diverge, why have both?
I think the grandparent post is saying a no to computer voting, i.e. zero computer interaction between voters and ballots and no computers in the booth. Unless a voter is fully paralyzed, he/she can always vote by hand/foot/mouth with pen/stamp. So your concern is invalid.
Are there any objective definition of 'neighborhoods'? If yes, then we can group houses/buildings/estates in census data so they can stay in the same district even with computer district genearation. If there is no objective definition, then your desire to "divide voting by 'neighborhoods'" is just a desire to gerrymandering.
So an addictive drug that change its chemical formula slightly from the standard form will suddenly gain legal status? Wow. If a food company can claim 'no sugar added' for a chemical that tastes like sugar and gives energy to body like sugar (trehalose is readily digested into glucose in human bodies), then it's not totally the food industries' fault. The regulation authority need to take responsibility too.
The article is confusing but Trehalose is a real sugar, providing energy similar to table sugar, and exists in nature too. The article should elaborate more on why food industries use this rare form of sugar now when they could have used table sugar instead.
Whatever new ram technology cannot eliminate the latency issue. So there will always be caches and pre-fetching. MRAM no matter how fast you dream it is or how fast it actually is, won't solve our current situation.
In this case facebook can do better (while they don't). If facebook users can block someone, with a tick of saying, "I want my blocking of this guy publicly known", then for trolls there will be a tag which people can see oh that guy has been publicly blocked by hundreds or thousands of people. But no, facebook choose to let users to only block/flag/report someone silently, and hold the power to stamp someone "hate speech" solely on the hand of facebook employees.
The repeal of the net neutrality rules was a done deal the day that Donald Trump was elected. The third-world goat herder appointed to head the FCC is simply doing what he had already decided he would do if he ever got the job.
Two party system means you always have to eat half the shit. While one party system means you always have to eat all the shit. So America is still better than China. China put a huge firewall to the whole country so people are forced to use local copycat brand/version of whatever popular online service/product outside. Recently VPN was criminalized. "Net Neutrality? What is it? Does it taste good?"
Anyone mod parent up? An extension framework that can sandbox extension to be 100% safe is a framework that can do nothing useful. Babysitting always fail at the end. We can only make it permission-segmented enough and hope the users understand what such and such permissions imply.

Not sure Venus or Mars which one is easier for human long term living. But your "It's there" point is the best point of any deep space human mission.
But I am not in high hope of government money succeeding that. Private money is better suited for Everest-type journey.

Then use Summer Timetable and Winter Timetable. Still two clean schedules and nobody need to mess with the clock.

If a sugar tax can be bypassed by corn sugar or whatever both taste sweet and provide energy to bodies, then the tax legislation is flawed.
