According to the paper, computer remains below human average level for Pacman. Does that means AI failed to reverse engineer Pacman's ghost behavior, including their bugs?
It is more like "Crimea is ours. Deal with it". Obviously Russia never intended to take over Ukraine, as their army could be in Kiev in less than a week if they wanted to perform a real invasion. We talk about Ukraine, a failed state, versus Russia, a major nuclear power.
But of course, invading western Ukraine, where a lot of people hate russians, would mean dealing with a fierce resistance after the military victory. This is probably the reason why they did not do it. Invading Crimea, which mostly contained russians, made sense, invading Ukraine does not.
The soviet system had many problems, and I am glad I did not live in it, but central planning have some merit. Spatial projects could never come true without it.
And bluntly, whether you think your politicians are greedy, selfish idiots with zero qualification for their job and no well being in their mind aside of their own, or whether you think your boss is like this, where exactly is the difference between public and private sector?
There are huge parts of public sector that operate far enough from unqualified politicians to maintain the ability to actually work. But I guess the situation depends on the countries.
You forgot to take into account the private sector efficiency, which is usually obtained through negative externalities: crushing workers, polluting...
Of course someone will tell me that public sector pollute as much because laws allow it, and has lazy and unproductive workers...
1.3 billion USD is a huge amount of money. Wikipedia tells me Los Angeles total population is 3958125 (how precise!). If we use 1.3 billion USD to buy a computer for every resident (which is much more than every children), individual machines can still cost up to 328 USD, which seems to be more than an iPad's price.
I am surprised lobbies had not already obtained such a measure in Australia.
It looks outdated now that similar laws are dying in other countries. In France the law was voted but it seems the government is not willing to enforce it. Perhaps it is related to the ruling that considered Internet access is human right.
But on a smart card, asymmetric cryptography can be used. The private key is generated by the chip on user request. It is not supposed to leak outside of the device.
As I understand, this SIM debacle is only possible because the cryptography used here is symmetric, which means the telephone operator must have a copy of the SIM key.
First you deregulate trade, and you use that to pressure your suppliers to have the lowest possible cost. In order to achieve this, the suppliers must crush workers in remote countries and fuck the environment... and suddently you discover that there is only one single ecosystem and that pollution affects you.
It is nice to see a US government that acknowledges there is general interest linked to environment. What will come next? They should push international environmental regulations that trump trade deregulation. I wonder if I will live long enough to see that.
TFS tells about "global intellectual property rights regime", which is a nonsense: there is no international patents, as a patent is only granted within a national juridiction (EU is the exception). And even huge corporations do not fill in 180 countries, they do it only where they intend to make money.
After the Curies discovered radium, there have been commercials for skin cream with radium inside. Lookup for "skin cream radium" in your favorite search engine, and see the pictures!
Even with latest knowledge that makes cholesterol innocent for heart diseases, what you eat still have a great importance and therefore you are still responsible of your health. Omega 3 / omega 6 fat ratio seems to play a major role, so does trans fats and refined carbs.
In other words, no need to throw egg yolks because of the cholesterol they contain, but junk food is still bad for your health.
This is good news. We have known for a while that if you reduce cholesterol intake, your liver will produce more so that you get back to your equilibrium.
But some voices told us recently that a high cholesterol could not the root cause for heart diseases, but just an hint that something is wrong, like fever is not the reason why your are sick, but a consequence.
Please mod parent up. This is a social decision: allocating shared resources (tax) to provide a few kWh to the poorer at no charge. The Greek government plan is not to not subside your private datacenter.
I wonder what is an ISP in their view. Will academic networks, which do not use the commercial ISPs, have to block too? And what about government network? At least the police needs unfiltered access.

How much is H-1B visa fee? It looks weird it is possible to fund anything significant with such a thing.
I wonder how they plan to make profit from a browser.
We are heading to the situation where patching the kernel will be faster than patching applications:
Kernel upgrade: no downtime
Adjusting a parameter in Java application: wait for 4 minutes for Glassfish to restart
Submitter wants a "widespread compiled language that has good ties into FOSS".
What about plain old C? Otherwise, second best choice seems C++

Expressing your identity by posting porn: good
There is something weird in this logic.

Sure, but there are much less children in LA than the number I used, which is the whole population.

How much is it more expensive than private industry? Boeing and SpaceX are not philanthropists, they will do the job for profit.

GUE-NGL (left wing) also had 100% of its MEP voting against the resolution, according to votewatch.eu.
Is it about diversity, or just having more engineers in the job market so that wages can be kept low?

And you have to keep in mind that even well encrypted data will be easy to decrypt some day later.
