What I find especially strange about the discussion how this will not work is that in many places it just works. Where I live, robocalling can easily be non-existant if you don't want it, simply because a party that contacts your phone is fined and if the telco cannot identify that party they carry the fine.
There is a legally binding preemptive register for cold callers, and a formal right to refuse to be contacted by parties you have corresponded with in the past. I've seen it work when two years ago I a bought a spare sim-card, and forgot to block that number. It saw about five attempts in a couple of days (obviously junk as I never actually used the number) before I blocked it. No more garbage calls since then.
Not really, that is only an approximation of the inverse definition. I you want to play that game you should write out 1/0.45359237 (which is exact) Starts out like: 2.204622621848775807229738013450270338542070273360197835779292319224\

Peer review is not only the bit the journals do. The real exchange of ideas starts after the publication. In fact if nothing published was ever improved on, science would stop and become something dogmatic and immutable of no particular value.
That used to be the norm in the EU as well. Fortunately the EU-directives since the early nineties have fixed that. Currently there are no relevant rights of use left.
I recognize a few that still have some relevance in HPC. In fact without the SGI effort spent on NUMA, bigmem and scalabilty support for Linux the current top-500-by-OS list would look completely different. https://www.top500.org/statistics/list/
Perhaps the reason is that on-line access is better? This CCSU statistic suggests you may just not be very good at selling obsolescent technology. http://www.ccsu.edu/wmln/rank....
Exactly that, one company selling something it doesn't own to another company on false pretenses. As far as I can see it's more an implementation of the electric monk https://www.urbandictionary.co... for advertisement than a case of fraud.
Except, the context is a French proposal to create a federal income tax for Europe. From the perspective of the proponents, who really want to turn the EU into a federation, it is understandable. Of course most Europeans are not really waiting for our own version of the IRS.
Correct, and it has been part of the 'active measures' for a long time: https://www.bbc.com/news/world...
It will probably not go away, and neither will the accusations against Facebook, as they are in the interest of the business model. FB will gladly 'admit' to the effectiveness of their advertising products in the media.
It will be interesting to see. Apparently google estimates to earn up to 40$ per device from their app platform. Other manufacturers can now compete on the software offering.
Interesting thought, especially if the zero plastic containing anonymous French sample was from the market leader, because that comes in cardboard boxes.
Probably not coincidentally: I recently read a news item that Alibaba plans to open a new distrition center in Europe. Alledgedly to reduce shipping times..
I recommend checking if the country you plan to use the phone in has an extradition treaty with the US or China. As far as I can see the odds are 100 to 40. Not great in either case.
Heavily as in 5% of GDP. Compared with the light dependance of 5.6% of the US. It's not the amount but where you spend it (much of the 5% was indeed spent on socialist hobbies, rather than on job creators like Enron) . BTW, the imported or homegrown rapists are generally not homeless, that makes it easier to find and prosecute them.
It is a bit weird, but it appears in the EU the situation on this data ownership is now: You can force the manufacturer to provide you with everything they have on you in a readable form (so you legally own a copy of your data) and you can subsequently force them to erase everything they have on you (so they don't own the original any longer).
Of course it does, but they may now try to obscure the data. That would get into the way of a nice story.
By collecting data that can be related to a person the manufacturer will need to comply with the EU data directive.
That includes things like the obligation to provide you with everything they have on you, the requirement to remove and forget data after its stated purposed has been achieved and the requirement of informed consent on the re-use of anything they are even allowed to collect etc. Especially large companies will be carefully monitored, because fines are extremely high, and seem to be a new source of revenue for the EU.
If I were a cynic I would almost think this decision is intended as a bait for wannabe data-collectors...
I actually think Bing does very well. If you search for images of 'jews' without any context it, correctly, assumes you're a bigot looking for racist topics. That would also be my first guess from the search command. Good piece of coding, at least better than I would have expected.

It is everwhere else in the world. Because the subscriber paying for the service is the robocaller and not the recipient.

So did I.
No need to feel left out. The definition of the pound is also updated by this:
The international pound has been defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg.

I think the IBM OSS group is now called Red Hat Inc

As a parent, I was more worried about the stifling of the children in that statement. But I suppose we should be grateful that it is not unnecessary.

Hm, reading the FA, that's a novel concept.

Some do apparently.
