This is happening across the entire league. The best NBA players are getting better younger.
That's actually happening in a lot of sports. I coach another sport (wrestling) where the average age of an Olympic champion has gotten 2-4 years younger in the last 10 years. A big part of that is access to opportunities train and compete and information that older people like myself simply didn't have access to.
My question would be WTF this article is doing on slashdot? This is definitely not news for nerds or stuff that matters. While I'm sure there are NBA fans reading slashdot, this is pretty far away from what this site is supposed to be about.
I can definitely see that. Instead of being stuck with a single worn VHS tape by a clinician with a different body style than you, you can find wrestlers who actually have similar strengths and learn from them.
I'd also suspect that the vastly greater resources on diet and conditioning (and cutting weight) probably have made a big difference.
My question would be WTF this article is doing on slashdot?
It used to be that slashdotters were interested in and enjoyed talking about the impact of technology. Not so much anymore.
That's to be expected. Ten years ago, this would have been a little bit mind blowing. Now, most of us reference Youtube to hang a door or change our brakes, so the conclusion of the article is already intuitive.
This should not have been a vote across party lines! This vote, and others like it, just prove that congress-critters couldn't give a flying f#ck about the people they're mean to represent.
If Net Neutrality is a measure of how much Congress cares about its constituents, then perhaps Congress should have actually passed a Net Neutrality bill, rather than leaving it up to the whims of the current administration.
How about because he is the CEO of one of America's largest and most successful companies? I suppose you'd rather take economic advice from a senile reality-show host and real estate con-man who had to declare bankruptcy multiple times.
honestly while I do like quite a bit of what Elon does, there are indeed times I think he really does jump the gun and start building, long before something is even fully plausible on paper. The technical requirements and problems in the hyper-loop (thermal expansion problems, and just in general trying to make hundred mile long functioning vacume tubes). Those limits and requirements seem... pretty insane to me.
Then let him try and, if he fails, fail. Let him fail another twenty times if if yields just one more Spacex.
>Where would you rather be if there was an accident? In a crew capsule with an abort system or an elevator in the gantry? It's not rocket science...well, kinda is...but that's beside the point.
I would rather not be anywhere near the most likely accident, and by far the most likely accident is during fueling.
Ars has a great write up on it and an actual shuttle engineer added some information in the comments. The most obvious issue is that there was no way to prevent what happened to Columbia from happening to Atlantis (which was in the VAB at the time) and losing 2 shuttles.

As opposed to every subsequent shuttle flight where they made a point to have a second shuttle on standby?
Years ago I started assigning a keyboard shortcut to Snipping Tool, which allows you to do pretty much everything they are describing. Copies to clipboard, or you can save in a couple of formats. And... annotate! (at least with highlighting and lines, would be good if they added text).
Rt-click Snipping Tool icon, in start menu, Open File Location, get Properties in shortcut, define a shortcut key combo.
One other nice thing with Snipping Tool is you can define a capture delay. So if you want to screen-cap a menu option that would otherwise lose focus and disappear by hitting a key sequence, you can set Snipping Tool to fire at a set time delay so you can mouse through and get it looking like you want before the screen capture hits.
You can select the area of the screen to capture, no more capturing everything, pasting into Paint, and cropping.
This "Innovation" has been around since at least Windows 7.
The problem with the Snipping Tool is that you can't set a global hotkey to take you into instant capture. Capturing always requires you to click through the UI. Contrast that with Greenshot, or some commercial offerings, where you simply invoke the hotkey an instantly start capturing, then are immediately taken to the annotation interface.
Also, nobody was calling this an "innovation." I' say it's more of a quality of life enhancement.
There's no doubt in my mind that FF7 fits the bill
Despite its impact, games in that era are uniquely difficult to go back and enjoy. The graphics just do not hold up like 2d games or subsequent 3d games.
Vinyl is physical, collectible. You buy it and you have it. There's also a bit of a ritual involved with pulling it off the shelf, out of the giant sleeve, and setting it on the turntable and setting the stylus and all that. Even if people don't think it sounds better, I suspect it lends a feeling of ownership and permanence to music buying and listening that downloads or even CDs, which are so easily ripped and copied, do not.
I just do not have the time, space, or budget to participate in all that at this point in my life, nor do I know if I would want to. But I think I get some of the appeal.
but many more use the more politically correct makerspace to distance themselves from the bad connotations of hacking.
...and in so doing come off as boring and safe. Probably necessary in some cases, but it doesn't really convey the "breaking things" aspect their core demographic is attracted to.
Reading the FAQ she points out that it's not just the Switch that is vulnerable here, it's other devices that use the same SoC and potentially all Tegra X1 parts. They are used in things like in-car nav/entertainment systems, self-driving AI systems, smart TVs and set top boxes, all kinds of stuff.
The potential for malicious use exists. Reminds me of those smart fridges in Silicon Valley.
Did you see anything that suggests this is possible without physical access? In my skim over TFA, nothing jumped out at me as being possible via web/wifi.
Is "attacker" what you call an owner unlocking his or her device? Do you call people who root their Android devices, or people who jailbreak their iOS devices "attackers?"
How many non-users did Cambridge get information on? It's been known for some time - and was admitted in congress recently - that facebook has profiles for non-users as well as actual users. For myself and... well, I'm told repeatedly that I am the only remaining person alive between the age of 8 and 80 who doesn't have a profile there... it would be really interesting to know if Cambridge got information on "us" as well.
Citation please. Zuckerberg admitted to running analytics on anonymous users--you know, keeping web server logs--NOT to creating "shadow profiles," a term that still makes zero sense. I've read the Gizmodo article and I really think it comes down to somebody who doesn't understand what a relational database is and how trivial it is for FB to suggest contacts based on the loads of info your friends and family have already provided. There is no need to pre-generate anything.
Simplified example: Friend A and Friend B frequently tagged you in pictures. They also tagged Stranger C. Do you know Stranger C?
My suspicion is that they will simply stop suggesting contacts, as they should. Unfortunately, this doesn't prevent your friends and families from tagging you all over the place and providing all sorts of details about your life.

Is 'neither' an option?
But if you thought the trench could escape the global onslaught of plastics pollution, you would be wrong.
Why would I, or anyone, think that?
You wouldn't. But the story sounds more sensational if it's implied somebody would.
A truly hypoallergenic dog.

The article's headline quotes a professor who said the technology is horrifying. But yes, he was horrified.
Yeah, I know. What I meant is putting "horrifying" in quotes is still misleading. The reaction was not horrifying. The person reacting was horrified.
There's a big difference between:
Google Executive Addresses Horrifying Reaction...
and
Google Executive Addresses "Horrifying" Reaction..
Still not quite there. The proper word is "horrified."
Google Executive Addresses Horrified Reaction To Uncanny AI Tech
In short for this example, digital delay doesn't sound as good. It sounds too perfect.
Can't it be modeled?

I suspect Facebook has been involved in enough divorces as it was.

You can just tell us three.
Oh, I think I know this one. We can start with Michael Bay, Uwe Boll, and Jason Friedberg.
Because, can you honestly find any other reason they were ever (and at least one case, still is) allowed to direct movies?
Michael Bay has made studios a lot of money. That's what keeps the wheels moving, not maleness, staleness, or paleness.
Give women the freedom to choose, and then let them follow their own choices.
The point is they don't have freedom to choose.
Citation needed.
Yeah, but this has the potential to make casual attacks even easier.
Does anyone know how hard it would be to update/patch the locks? Can it be patched at all?
There are so many ways to compromise locks, this changes nothing. Hotel locks are not electronic for security, they are electronic for ease of management.

I hope the pranksters don't learn about the ESP8266. I think those things only cost a few bucks each.
