Why the hell is this on Slashdot? Okay, that's it. I have been a faithful reader since Slashdot was founded, but I'm now done with this has-been of a site.
Insightful?
He leads because he tells people exactly what they want to hear. You think he has the temperament to get any of that done? Nope! How is this not painfully obvious to everyone?
If FT's claims are based on the interview material they show in the posted video, they're making a very liberal interpretation. As far as I can see, Gates only made a few specific points:
1) The debate on the level of access the government should have to its citizens' information is an important one.
2) The government should have some level of access in order to have a shot at preventing extreme acts of terrorism (such as with nuclear or biological weapons) and enforcing taxation.
3) In some ways, the question of whether or not Apple is being asked to create a backdoor is not the real issue. Gates thinks that, ultimately, Apple is only being asked to provide the information from one phone. However, he did acknowledge that once a company provides access (he used the example of a bank turning over financial information), there is some expectation by the public and other interested parties that the company could provide access again and more easily.
Overall, he seemed to take a lot of care to avoid taking a clear stance with Apple or with the FBI and framed the whole situation as though it was an important legal question that should be settled by due process. The claim that he said "technology companies should be forced to co-operate with law enforcement" is misleading.
Just wanted to point out that, even though they're raising a lot relative to kickstarter standards, they still need a lot of money to make their funding goal of 5.5 mil. I pledged because I loved that show. Hope other people consider doing so as well.
People shouldn't fly their drones around and trespass into other people's "airspace." Not only is it rude, I could see it also being considered illegal in short order if it isn't already. I agree with this guy.
Honestly, it just seems like "grit" was a poorly chosen word for Khan Academy's familiar concept of effort. The only things that are somewhat concerning are the school vs. school etc. aspects of the contest. One would hope that the contest is not structured in such a way that it mostly just serves to make more competitive schools feel good about how much more awesome they are than everyone else. This would happen if, for instance, mastery points are given as much or more weight than hustle points. I can't tell if this is the case from the FAQ.
Dictionary definitions are basically irrelevant when it comes to determining what's legal. If it were as simple as looking it up in the dictionary, we wouldn't need lawyers or the legal system. The reason we _do_ have those things is that ethical questions are never so cut and dry. The ideas of "freedom" and "liberty" are defined by the long history of legal precedent.
How is a certificate anything like a cookie? Cookies are unique to clients. Certificates are unique to servers. You can't use a server's SSL cert to track its users. And, unless Verizon has figured out a way to crack SSL connections in real time, they can't be injecting any headers into web requests made through HTTPS.
If you read the findings 2012 Canadian study carefully, you'll see that they could not rule out transmission due to droplets called fomites. This is a different mode of transmission than aerosol. The authors of the study suggested that further experiments would need to be conducted to rule out other factors. People have been routinely misinterpreting these findings. I urge anyone to read the "Discussion" section of the study in which this issue is clarified.

Did they confuse recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks when discussing the old versus new method of speech synthesis?

Why is this marked as funny? It is almost certainly propaganda either from Russia or from the Republican party. It's no laughing matter.

Yeah, I'd call that an exaggeration.
So then they can store it in a database and, the next time you jaywalk, the hair you dropped will implicate you in a crime.
Do you really have to learn jQuery? I feel like a skilled developer should be able to become productive using that library pretty quickly.
Why? Is it really that much of a time investment?

Hear hear. Also, that's one killer user ID :).
There goes theonion.com's search ranking.
Those numbers seem totally bogus. It seems like there would be 30,000 gas stations in Tokyo and surrounding areas alone.
what's bad for their bottom line is bad for America.

With that typo, I thought you were saying it was better than a witch somehow. I'm not sure how...witches are pretty cool.
All the secretive talk about this company's product reminds me a lot of the Segway launch.
Why would you even want that?! I would have nightmares for the rest of my life after playing that game in VR!

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised the powers that be let this one through.
And when I say "technical interview", I mean interviewing for a programming job at a web software agency.
