Investments in positive cash flow will always make sense. Facebook has a P/E of 24, which can be thought of as a 5% yield were it to be returned to shareholders. And that's the yield with their current level of profit, but their profit has actually been growing for a long time, and it is forecast to continue growing. So why do you think FB doesn't have real value?
Roaming charges will go away. The internet is going to be big some day, just be patient.
I'm not sure local processing is going to make sense for machine learning applications. The real-world usage expands the training corpus which means the online services will continue to improve.
Having tried Sphinx, I feel comfortable saying it is terrible compared to the major players. All of them are doing the speech recognition server side. Nuance is probably the biggest technology vendor, but Google and Microsoft have their own in-house technology.
But they do use lasers. Lasers are used for etching text and designs into glass, plastics, metals, wood, and so on. I'm not sure how ink comes to mind. Maybe someone was chewing on a pen while typing.
But that would be affecting the quality of the fruit. The poster wondered if it could effect the quality. That indeed seems impossible according to our understanding of physics.
HDCP is not effective protection. There are easily available hdcp-stripping devices. Those devices are illegal in some draconian regimes such as the USA, but they're still not hard to find.
Malice? He did over-represent how much money he paid to the licensing board, but in order to be listened to more carefully for what he perceived to be the public good.
That's not a malicious lie. Maybe nefarious. But more likely a falsehood made out of ignorance and not even a lie. Luckily, Oregon has abolished the death penalty!
What people really want is for air travel to be cheaper, not faster. I think the best measure of performance of commercial airliners is revenue -- they're COMMERCIAL airliners.
You should look at military or experimental aircraft if you're interested in other performance aspects of aircraft design.
I think the worst case is that VR is only interesting for gamers. Even then, VR will "take off" and not fade away. Some gamers always seem to have money available and will always upgrade to the latest and greatest.
Digitization of small objects doesn't really seem all that problematic. I think taking multiple pictures with different colors and intensities of light could help correct for many surface types.
On the other hand, 2026 seems optimistic for capturing the real world. So much of the human brain is focused on figuring out what we're seeing that I don't think we'll be able to reduce it to a few clever algorithms.
new and delete don't generally make system calls. The system call is brk(), and it's only needed to resize the heap. The C and C++ runtimes also allocate a large heap at startup, and will only resize it when it approaches exhaustion.
Basically, the entire point of your post is lost because it is based on a misunderstanding.
Slashdot Mirror
That comment doesn't make any sense.
Why 15%? 15% of what? Revenue? Market capitalization? Book value?
And how can there possibly be a threshold that makes investment not be speculative?

hole and strait? WTF?
Poe's Law?
Oh. And what's the reason all the other OECD countries aren't becoming fascist police states?
I don't think slashdot is still running on Slash. And slashdot was many years old before slash ever open sourced.
Soylent, not slashdot, is the news for nerds site that uses open source.
Forged HTTP headers, not forged IP headers. The traffic will route just fine.
Laser printers don't use ink.

What the hell are you talking about? Why are passphrases relevant to this discussion?
It was either ignorance or irony. Either way, +1 Funny!

On the other hand, the products have such a simple interface that fairly trivial to make an abstraction layer.
that has an atom cpu and eMMC storage. it's crap.

Then maybe we should change the law.
What have you done so far? Who is working on it? Who is funding it?

I'm doing product shots. It's really astonishing. It's like I've built the transporter from Star Trek.
