It's a fan award, so tends to go to whatever style is popular at the time. Especially the short stories and novelettes. This is not to say you will like a more recent winner but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss.
Honestly, it would be impressive. They were never built to last, barely any were built after 1989, and were never all that popular in the first place. If you can still find one it would be quite an impressive achievement.
He's not a flat earther. He's a daredevil. It's pretty obvious this is just an excuse to get the flat earthers to fund this.
Personally I suspect most of the organisation is just a bunch of harmless eccentrics, who don't believe the earth is flat, but think it's fun to mock the scientific community.
Yes, but it doesn't need to be pure P2P. Something that uses an OpenID like concept with an RSS feed would allow the same functionality. Allow links between servers but allow them to limit information sent to others without some sort of trust mechanism.
Don't judge too much from the cameras. They're simply not very good. It may be because of the compression, or it may have been a cheap camera. But generally speaking, visibility on a road with street lighting is pretty good. Sometimes people even forget to turn their headlights on.
Really this has never been a serious issue. The car will attempt to stop. It will not attempt to swerve if that will be dangerous. The limit would be a small adjustment to avoid clipping something.
Even human drivers aren't going to swerve into someone else to avoid someone.
The UK's highway code says that the rules never give you right of way but advise when to give right of way to others.
It's probably the best way of looking at it. The pedestrian should give right of way to cars. If a pedestrian crosses anyway, then the cars must give right of way (where the laws of physics allow)
On the dash-cam style video, we only see her 1.5 seconds before impact. However, the human eye and quality cameras have a much better dynamic range than this video, and should have also been able to see her even before 5 seconds.
Absolutely agree here. I drove along city streets last night. I could easily see people wearing dark clothes, beside the road, at a distance of 75 feet. The camera doesn't give the full story.
The human safety driver did not see her because she was not looking at the road. She seems to spend most of the time before the accident looking down to her right, in a style that suggests looking at a phone.
A human safety driver will not work without some means of keeping the driver engaged. These cars had driven millions of miles between them with no accidents until this one. Obviously the passenger's attention will wander. The human was there to mollify critics, not to act as actual safety driver.
The pedestrian doesn't seem to be in much of a rush. This is something I simply don't understand. I'd have thought she'd be moving a lot faster.
The darkness at the edges did strike me as strange. Whether this is because of compression, or some other limitation, I don't think we can really make assumptions about what a human driver would see. Driving along roads with streetlights, I have a pretty good view of the sides of the road, and can easily see people who are within my stopping distance.
Tomorrow's World was a popular Technology/Science show that laster from the 1960's into the 1990's. It was must-see TV in the 1980's! lots of cool technology and gadgets and innovations. Some of it was wild and out there. A lot of it never saw the light of day, but it was fun and exciting.
By the mid-late 90's, they discovered the internet, and it was never very interesting to look at. Technology was still progressing but it lacked that "WOW!" factor. And the show really lost a lot of popularity, and was axed in the early 2000's.
I think it could be resurrected though. We're seeing more interesting things again. Segways, 3d printers, smart homes, self driving cars, and cars in space.
Perhaps Ethereum, because it solves several of the problems with Bitcoin. Perhaps ripple, because it has support from banks. Perhaps one of the other top 10, but Bitcoin itself has a lot of problems, discussed by pretty much everyone in the comments.
It only does triangle rendering and texturing. This is pretty useful, but not for getting realistic refractive effects. Reflections in OpenGL tend to be a bit of a cheat as well. The reflection looks fine for the most part, but unless you have a perfectly flat, or perfectly spherical mirror, they're typically an approximation.
Personally, I don't think this sort of thing really justifies the cost of raytracing when current techniques work fairly well, but nVidia clearly disagree.
So, it's yet another rectangular grid system. They have their uses, but street addresses are not one of those uses, and the areas where it is useful already have their own grid systems.
A long string of letters and numbers is not easily memorised. There's no mnemonic aspect to it. We're wasting a lot of bandwidth since a large number of grids exist entirely in the ocean, and we get a huge number in the arctic and antarctic despite the very low population density in these regions. Regions by the borders of larger blocks have completely different codes from their neighbours (unless they reverse alternating rectangles, but I don't think they are). There's no recognition even of what country someone is in.
Street address systems need to be human based. Streets are human creations. We think in terms of countries and cities, and streets. And there are several working implementations of these, each with their own pros and cons.
While his was undoubtedly a leader in astrophysics, there are many others who were his peers, and have provided much greater insights into how the universe works.
It's a fairly hefty change given the relative stability over the past few of weeks. Although I agree. If the SEC sneezes, the market tends to overreact; possibly due to bots selling.
To nitpick, Europe is a nominal 230V. There's a 10% tolerance to allow for resistance losses, so it can be anywhere between 207V and 253V. In practice, most countries use either 220V+/-6% or 240V+/-6% depending on what it was before they standardised.
Why go for the GTX 1080? A Quadro P5000 is pushing that sort of price when new. Bitcoin miners do go overboard. They make a lot of money from this, so they invest in the best hardware.
I don't think it makes any different what they do. Most of Google's income comes from a handful of established cash cows (main search engine, youTube, possibly maps, and AdSense). The other stuff is just there because a tech company must be seen to be innovating.
There's no real direction. People are paid for being smart, and Google hopes that that will produce good products. There are no metrics for whether most of these make any money, but the cash cow is so large it can support a lot of complete wastes of space.
I'm confused... Do gay people have a different way of speaking? Are transmen inherently different from men? Is this upper-middle class white man having trouble with the appropriate workplace speech of upper-middle class white men?

It's strange that the comaprison was though to be needed. Could have just said it's a popular satirical political magazine.

If someone is in the road, you do have a legal obligation to attempt to stop, even if they have absolutely no right to be there.

I mean the point of fake news is to convince people. Not bots. The fake news peddlers need to make it go viral. And it's humans that do that.

I don't think the goal of society should be that we end up paying people a pittance for doing a tedious repetitive job that a machine can do.
If we are going to make people do tedious repetitive jobs, then we can at least pay them a reasonable amount.

I suspect they wanted to be able to just offer an unlock code, that allows access to the rest of the game.
Yeah. I rather miss the leaden dialogue, and clunky exposition from that novel.
