What we have here is a classic shark jumping moment. A slashdot reader submits a story based on an un-substantiated* blog entry written by himself of events pertaining to himself and this make the front page. And as a tie in to this story, TFS links to a story of exactly the same provenance from earlier this year.
This totally smacks of a Bennet Hasselton style content.
* I am not denying the likelyhood of the events as describe. Its the mixing of subject and author that is problematic.
Musk decided not to pursue the Hyperloop as a business venture, but SpaceX began holding competitions for third-party teams to show off their engineering skills. The competitions have proved hugely popular.
So while Musk may have come up with the original idea* he really isn't doing anything other than holding competitions for things that look and work totally unlike his original concept.
* And even that is debatable for various values of "Train running in a (near) vacuum"
In what world does a music download equate to an LP??
Yeah get off my lawn.
OTOH This will be the Autotune of the future. I can't say that I am inspired by that song (seemed pretty generic and soulless to me) but I am sure I will be surprised someday soon.
Which is why the Hyperloop Alpha proposal was A) for a mild vacuum, not a hard vacuum
The design pressure value is 1 millibar. Keeping the entire* tube at that pressure level and being able to pump sections up and down for general usage**, maintenance and emergency egress is not a trivial issue.
* The total tube will be a metric crap-ton of volume no matter how you slice it.
** Every capsule you send down the tube potentially introduces air to the tube.
If one product has 12 reviews and one 45k reviews, the 12 review has 5* and the 45k review has 4* I'd be more likely to buy the 45k review one. It's simply significantly harder to astroturf and bot 45k reviews than 12.
Personally I look for reviews in the middle of the pack to get a good sense of what the product is actually like. I see a lot of 5s that appear to be people gushing about a product and a lot of 1s where it seems to be all about trashing a product. I feel that the 2s, 3s and 4s give a more balanced perspective of a product.
They probably don't realize that that manufacturing has been running on software since the 60's and when they do we'll get the FUD headline of "ZOMG!!! Software is eating the manufacturing industry!!!!!"
And then it will be "ZOMG!!! Software is eating the shipping industry!!!"
Followed by "ZOMG!!! Software is eating the mining industry!!!"
And then "ZOMG!!! Software is eating the power generation industry!!!"
People who complete the test get a score indicating the severity of their symptoms, which can aid a physician's diagnosis.
Which basically means no support for people who are actually depressed.
I'd like top stay that the results are presented in a useful way but as I am at a desktop and this appears to only be presented to people on mobile devices I'm depressed that I can't look into this more.
A foreign state actor hacked into a US Naval Destroyer and with precision knocked out the steering to the ship at a critical moment where by it couldn't maneuver and was rammed by merchant vessel. And then moments later restored the steering to a working condition. Is that it? Do I have it right?
No, but if you could read you'd know that no technical details are being discussed, only high level causality.
It was reported elsewhere earlier to day that the steering was lost and then regained.

As opposed to some mechanical/electrical malfunction happening at a critical moment causing said accident and the systems being manually reset after the fact.
Yeah, right. Anyone who has ever worked with complex mechanical/electrical equipment knows that shit happens and that you don't need external actors to screw things up for you. And that goes without saying that the tropics are not an area that is conducive to nice, neat operations of equipment (consider the British destroyers that can't operate in the warm waters of the Middle East)
So may I present exhibit "A". It's this sharp piece of metal in the form of a razor. Once owned by a chap named Occam.
... to kick out all teenagers and people with small kids?
1. Go to theaters that serve alcohol. 2 Pic odd times to see movies. 3. Don't go on release weekends
The last movie I saw in a theatre was Guardians 2 and there was maybe 6 other people in the theatre. That was a mid-week afternoon about 2 weeks after opening.
Theatre's that serve alcohol also have better seating, but the temptation is to buy food and drink and they will get you there.
Instead they will have one pilot as an emergency back up, with the computer doing the flying 90% of the time.
Pilots are humans. Humans have medical issues at unpredictable times. What do you do for your 10% of times that the computer is not capable of doing the flying when the pilot has a medical issue?
Elon just reposted this to his twitter and now everybody is thinking this is somehow news..
When will non-believers like you give the prophet credit for deeming to communicate with the faithful? It doesn't what he says, or when he says it - instead you should being feeling all joyous inside just hear his missives./s
And there is very, very little support from AAA studios (read: ZERO). This in turn means that there are very, very few high quality games available for VR and an unimaginably huge mountain of gimmicky Flashgame knock-offs that some Indie Dev slapped together. They're not really bad per se, but it means that certain genres are overrepresented to the extreme. In other words, what idle-clicker games are to mobiles and zombie shooters are to PC gaming, tower defense is to VR.
Your whole reply is limited to VR in games. I work in heavy industry applications and having access to VR based simulations/walk throughs would be fantastic for what I do.
VR is a tool and not just limited to playing games.
If the end game of IoT is to be ubiquitous then there is no way that you can rely on manual intervention to keep things up to date and secure. So how will this all be enforced?
I use a shuffle and a nano at the gym. Unfortunately, I just ran the nano through the wash. I guess I should order a replacement before their gone.
Several months ago I also ran my old, square nano through the wash as well. I replaced it with the current model but boy do I miss that old form factor. I had to buy a 3rd party case in-order to clip in on and even then I had to cut the case up to get decent access to the volume buttons.
Too many hills, and the streets are all completely fucked.
I was going to say something similar. I lived there for 3 years and it felt claustrophobic driving around those rolling hills with limited line of sight and no visible horizon. And don't forget the lack of sunshine.
Maybe that's why nerds love it? Even when you are outside it is like being in your mom's basement.

Suddenly, I was a vietnamese callgirl.
And that makes for a happy ending!
I now know what a slashvertisement for Firefox 56 looks like

keyboards? how quaint
we use touchscreen tablets now
Siri, Alexa and Cortana disagree
Even TFS has the correct codes

My phone is 4-5 years old and still works great.
5? years old??? Sheesh new kids these days. I'm still using my original RAZR. Its 10 this year. And it still makes phone calls.
Now get off my lawn.
I read that as
Microsoft's Open Invitation To Valve, Nintendo and Others To Join Xbox One and PC Cosplay
And wondered what the hell sorts of things are going on in MS these days.

That's what the cloud be.
Government jerks found a new excuse to steal $15 to $99 from random people walking around minding their own business.
So whats the cost to public services if someone gets run down?
