I think that's the number one problem with diet plans these days. People assume that since it worked for them it will work for everyone else. I don't think that's the case.
Or they even assume the diet was the cause of the weight loss. It's not like you can just do X and be doing nothing else at the same time (like sleeping every night, eating during the day, talking to people, etc.). People easily misattribute the cause of things, often to something they deliberately did, because that gives more of a sense of control than attributing it to something that was external. In the name of science, exercise more restraint in conclusions!
Maybe one's favorite search engine is one that allows one to even find stories about things like Tibetan nun torture. You think unfettered Internet access in China is just a novelty with no serious purpose?
Sorry, you're wrong. I grew up with those episodes of Sesame Street and have learned awful behaviors from them. To this day I can't avoid eating pipes when I see them, and I still keep a garbage can around for those times when I must live in one. Think of the children!

In many ways, establishing the correctness of a computer-aided proof is very much like security engineering. You want to verify that the whole software stack is operating correctly before you can trust the result. Having the source-code is a pre-requisite to this exercise.
I never thought about it until now, but I'd say that math "proofs" done by a computer shouldn't be given as solid a status as those done by humans. It's too easy for the computer to have a glaring bug. Maybe if more than one independently developed proof checking program were run over it (simulating more than one fallible human going over a proof), but how will that happen with patented, proprietary math programs?
If I need to give a semi-long to long URL to someone where they'll have to properly type it in, these services are great. Their future usability doesn't matter. In cases where the URL is being posted digitally, I can't imagine how shortening the URL would ever be worth the chance of breakage it introduces. They're also a PITA because others don't easily know where it leads. Sure, there are ways to find out, but they are never as simple as mousing over the link as works in any browser for a normal URL.
There should be no sympathy for those who pose as fictitious characters only to create malice and havoc in others lives, whether it's online or in real life.
The danger is that you have no sympathy for something you think is guilty of this. Let the court decide guilt, then you can unleash your unsympathy.
You're saying you don't mind the military budget since a significant part is spent on science. But if the military budget weren't so obscenely large, there would be more to spend on science (and not under the guise of the military). Wouldn't that be better?
It keeps being repeated, even in this article which says "it can be transmitted long distances far more economically than direct current", that AC is more efficient. This is not really true.
I think they're mistakenly comparing low-voltage DC to high-voltage AC, and the dominating factor is the amount of current, not whether it's alternating. A long time ago, high-voltage DC just wasn't possible, so AC was a win since it could be high voltage (conversion was simple, as you say).
Apparently, a fortunate side-effect of this condition is it impairs the part of your brain that would normally find this horrific and intolerable and leaves you with a weird sense of acceptance and well-being (IIRC).
My biggest fear for wireless is the push for more laws to regulate "network neutrality," which I am against vehemently. I believe that paying for access tiers makes more sense than forcing the market to all stay at a certain level of service for everyone at a flat price. It doesn't make sense to me (neither as a businessman, nor as an individual).
I thought net neutrality was about not discriminating based on who the data is coming from/going to, about not playing favorites.
(1) FCC gets petition to prohibit bandwidth throttling (2) all bandwidth is "unthrottled" (3) all (at least US-based) ISPs have lack-of-bandwidth issues (4a) all ISPs revoke any claim to "unlimited bandwidth" in a revised agreement notice upon which you have no say, and begin charging per-kb. (4b) all ISPs actually perform the service upgrades for which they were already paid years ago. Methinks that if 1 leads to 2, then it leads to 4a. 4b is there just for giggles. They'll never actually do that, of course.
If ISPs go from (0) (falsely advertise bandwidth) to (4a), then that opens the way for the market to choose reward the few ISPs that choose (4b).
The video game console emulation community has many people who still write asm and reverse-engineer games (and the hardware too). One common need is when "ripping" the music playback code from a game, to allow playback in a game music player, which emulates the original sound chip and processor. There are thousands of such rips available.
That's the real question, what we'd actually do. Unless they actually had people trade their right to vote, they merely found out what people will answer when asked what they would give up their right to vote for. I'm tired of one poll after another taking the place of actual experiments to find out what people really would do, not just what they say.

Nothing prevented someone from drafting up such terms before this AGPL.

I highly doubt that. Got a link?

I think something similar is happening in the US.
It's OK, the editors are only able to decipher what TFA says some 80% of the time.

All those zeroes... there must be something hidden in them. Produce the key at once!
Well, they certainly have now, with all the legal fees for this lost case!
There were 85 left over bytes at the end (filled with NOP), so it was really only 939 bytes of ROM.

Looks like the 4004 has more registers. From the comments of the source: ;R0..R15 i4004 register 0..15
Pretty pathetic!
Please, do share a reference.
I'd be charging for medical care if I could see my neighbor's WiFi signal.
Why not combine both?
