What proportion of the top million websites do we expect to be offering public APIs, designed to be used in this way (maps.google.com as just one example)? 1 in a thousand maybe?
I'd expect gzip to give you exactly the same output when run on exactly the same file each time. Only when you use it in a pipe (operating on stdin) should it use the current timestamp instead of the modification timestamp of the input file.
Japanese has 5 characters with the sounds ra, ri, ru, re, ro (unicode missing, look up hiragana on wikipedia if you like). Here is the twist: it's a very weak R
I'm not sure what you mean here by weak, but it is a rolled r, something between the English R and L sounds, exactly where between those sounds is dependant on dialect. The key thing though, is that they do not have two different sounds for R and L, so when they pronounce an English word with their in-between Japanese R, it can easily sound like they've mixed them up. And because it is the same sound to them, they often confuse R and L in written English (sometimes it seems they are wrong more often than right).
Computer is spelled konputa
Konpyuuta.
The whole concept of sounding like English with a different spelling is very flawed
Really? Can you name a language which does things differently?
and all are created after WW2
Not at all. Using foreign loan words was discouraged for a few years during WW2, but there were a lot of English, Portuguese and other loan words being spelt in katakana well before then.
I think when they say "faster", they mean less time spent using the ATM, since a large part of the process can be done before you get there, or while queuing. Of course in reality, what will happen is people will queue up for the machine, then pull out their phone once they get to the front of the queue and start with their transaction, holding the queue up even more.
High frequency lawmaking would only benefit the robotic lawyers to the further detriment of traditional lawyers. This is one profession which AI could seriously bring huge benefits at the cost of many jobs. The entry level lawyer basically spends their life doing searches of laws to find something relevant to their bosses clients' cases, something that computers have been better at for almost 2 decades now.
Oh sure, they might even catch autism from the vaccines. Somehow I think the Olympic teams might just have slightly more qualified doctors than the average Slashdot reader, who can wejgh up the risks and make the appropriate decision.
Many of the tools, while they come from regular forum contributors who have built up a reputation for honestly giving owners control over their devices without any dirty tricks attached, are however hosted on some pretty awful ad-malware infested download sites. As long as you can check the GPG signature, you should be fairly safe with the rooting software, but you'd better make sure your browser is up to date and using ad-blocking before you download it.
Is this a design patent? If not, then I don't see how whether they are stacked or stuck into slots on a perpendicular board comes into it. Changing the form factor does not make your idea novel.
How exactly is this different from what Google has been showing for some time with their plug-together cell phone? I mean, besides all the components being physically bigger.
Seriously, how is this different than ISA slots? People putting together parts to make the computer they want, whatever will they come up with next?
Numbered streets. Satellite dishes always pointing South. Moss growing on the North side of trees. You don't get out much do you? There are vast parts of the world where such knowledge is worse than useless.
- Women in open-source are more competent than men? This is the hypothesis that the authors support the most. They suggest it somes about due to survivorship bias and/or self-selection and/or higher implicit performance-standards in the female population of open-source coders.
In my experience, this is not limited to open-source. Survivorship bias seems the most obvious explanation, given the bias against women when their gender is identified causes many to leave the industry, or stay away to start with.
That sounds like the reason I stopped buying the magazine. Especially after Conde Nast bought it and it slimmed back down to its original mid-90's size, but kept the ad-ratio of the late-90's/early 2000's period.
However, if you are doing highway driving, the manual wins, every time.
Are you sure? My CVT sits below 2000rpm at 70mph. I don't think I've seen a manual gearbox with a low enough ratio to acheive that. Highway driving is where the fuel economy is best with a CVT, as city driving uses a lot of acceleration and idling, where the CVT loses its advantage of keeping the engine in its most efficient range.
From the looks of it, the shifter is basically an up/down switch feeding into a computer that is doing the actual shifting. Since the computer is doing the shifting anyway, a better design might be to automatically shift into PARK when the engine is shut off by default, unless an override button is pressed for those rare cases where you need to have the car in neutral with the engine shut off.
we actually "know" exactly what they're providing and it IS basic internet service. All of the internet.
That would make this page rather redundant then. "Optimise for feature phones" - what they are offering actually seems more like WAP. It might still work for Africa, but India is already well served by LTE networks and cheap Chinese smartphones.
Why should the government be in the business of protecting local food sellers (and telling me what I can and can't eat)?
Because the government is the one who gets to pick up the tab when your local food industry has been destroyed by the multinational companies that are dumping their product, and for the health effects (even if the government doesn't pay directly for health, they pay indirectly through the effect poor health has on the economy). The government is the one who gets to pick up the tab when the local internet industry is destroyed because they don't fit into Facebook's internet.org ecosystem so there is no longer a market for their services, and for the long-term effect on education of being able to access only a limited sandbox instead of the Internet.

The lie in this case is the 1 in 5 figure. In reality it is much higher.
As a walled garden of WAP compatible sites, in order to keep the Third World in its third place.
When 5000 sites use visit are using jQuery, do you really want to download 5000 copies of it into your browser's cache?

Having your intimate devices exposed where they can be controlled by people who do not know your safe word, is probably not such a great idea.

If the media discovered it, it is bad for your review. If the media didn't discover it, it is good for the marketing guy who suggested it's review.

The 6.4 million Rio residents are perhaps a little better acclimatised to the local conditions though, so following their lead is probably not enough.
I'm sure you will have all the same opportunities to stop this before it goes through that your Pacific neighbours had with the TPP.
Sure it does... If you can afford to buy yourself some representatives.

People still bought Wired after they sold out in '98?
