This isn't a surprise to biologists either, the person quoted is a law professor, not an actual biologist.
The very medical definition of "dead" has been argued over by doctors for decades. Is it heart death, brain death, but people occasionally seem to come back from "brain death" so how dead does the brain have to be? The article isn't written for people with in depth knowledge of chemistry or biology or etc. It's written to shock and clickbait people that aren't that. "What's dead really like, is dead actually dead? The answer may shock you!!!"
Both the virtual desktop and the linux desktop have been predicted for over 20 years now. Obviously it's been long enough that it'll just happen, the year of the virtual linux desktop has arrived right along side the year of the PS3, the end of closed source software, and the year Cryptocurrency has replaced government controlled money! Praise be lord Stallman, blessed be his name!
The assumption here is that I feel anything about Google+, or even remember that it's still technically not ended. Both assumptions are of course, in error.
At 4k, meaning at 1080p it'll run you $200-$250 today. And the equivalent of this $450 car will be about $250 just a few months from now (hooray hardware leaks!)
Ahh, the announcement without any price. What a classic. "It's great, it's magic, trust us! You don't need to know how much all of this will cost!"
You don't need to know a lot of things apparently. Like what sort of internet connection you need, how much this would eat into your data plan, that you're locked in permanently to Google's ecosystem with all your games and thus must pay rent indefinitely to them to even access these games. But don't worry, it's cool tech, which means it's sure to succeed as a business!
And herein we see the Dunning-Kruger effect. Nuclear good, geo-engineering bad! Am I a nuclear engineer or a climate modeler? Why no of course not! But I read third hand sources that wrote opinion articles on these subjects that tangentially might be related to these professions. Thus hear me internet! Hear me when I say we should do nothing to stop the doom of all human civilization. All is well!
Yes, amazingly, no one's been able to see future data as of yet. So all we can do is guess that we're all gonna die, and then apparently do nothing? As opposed to trying to do anything about it that projects that we'll die less. I mean who knows what could happen if we do that???
Why a phone though? This is just an utter, complete failure of imagination on the designers of all these. MS was at least rumored to have come up with a new form factor, but all these others are just "phones but...". I'll prove it's not as useful as it could be. As with the Fold, it's nigh useless for media. Holding it sideways give near the exact same screen realestate for a video as unfolding, congrats a third of the use is mostly gone.
It's still too small to use for creating things, let's not kid ourselves. My 12" Surface still feels cramped compared to me desktop monitor. The one use it has is websites and a select handful of games. Not that I'm knocking better website reading, it's what I do half the day. But the point is to think beyond just 'What's popular now, but with a fold!" What if it was a tablet to begin with? A 3:2 10" tablet could unfold into a 14" 16:9 laptop that sits on a desk or lap, for example and with enough engineering. That's interesting, that's not something we have. I just want these companies to think a tiny bit more, and rush products to market a tiny bit less.
As usual with any product, beware version 1.0
Any number of problems tend to crop up, I'm going on memory but I'm fairly certain this happened with other Tesla Models when they were first introduced as well. Those problems were sorted out over time, but buyer beware for being an "early adopter".
The bad news is we've killed Tom and shunted his remains out the airlock.
The good news is the remaining team is feeling a lot better, and all agree his gruesome death was the best joke Tom ever told.
The card is sold out everywhere, meaning there's next to no stock.
Odds are great that these are just another "bin" of cards from their high end machine learning series. Basically less functional castoffs that AMD is hoping to sell for some cash because otherwise they'd just go to waste.
The question is literally "Can AI solve the halting problem?"
This is because, wouldn't any hypothetical "futureproof" product then be surpassed by the AI working more to create an even more futureproof product? At what point do you stop, do you ever stop?
Thus, the question becomes "can AI solve the halting problem" and the answer is, no you dumbass, the halting problem is undecidable and is the very math problem that helped create the modern notion of the computer in the first place. The problem that answered "no you can't solve this no turing machine can."
The internet any time a youtube competitor comes out: "Eww this isn't youtube fuck off!"
The internet any time youtube is utterly useless and broken because it has zero serious competitors: "OMG why is youtube like this???"
Dear halfwits that don't game at all and so think this is a good idea:
Games are not substitute goods. See all the "exclusive" content that's ruining video streaming already? Now imagine people willingly pay $60 or more for one of these titles, then play it more than even the most fanatical watcher of The Office could imagine.
Are these people, is anyone, going to pay $ for a subscription to play 1 game at a time? Or, maybe, they'll just bloody buy the game the way people have always done, and why the 3, yes, 3 services as such haven't shot off into stratospheric success yet.
Wow, the company that makes 90% of the its profits from advertising is trying to use the open source projects it near controls, that has a near monopoly on web browsers now... to stop adblockers from existing...
Large portions of the gadget tech industry are masturbating furiously in public over "5G" in the vain hopes that it'll be a thing that will pick smartphone sales and etc. back up. Of course this surgery could've just bee done with a wired connection over wifi. It's not like 100ms ping is great or anything. But any chance to splooge "5G" all over public faces will be taken.
I'm fairly certain entanglement is incredibly easy to break. While you can, in practice, beam stable entangled photons to a satellite, requiring enough going sideways through the atmosphere to then bounce off an object to then be read out without breaking the majority of entanglement seems unlikely. It's hard to enough to maintain entanglement in the extremely isolated confines of a quantum computer, just flinging it out into the atmosphere seems a lot harder?
These pop on/. every week. They never say anything new.
Airpods have been copied to death. The Apple Watch is the most successful smart watch out there. Solid seeming rumors point to Apple researching foldable phones, air gesture controls, and AR glasses.
But none of these are ever mentioned in these useless articles. All they ever do is bemoan how things "used to be better" under Steve Jobs. At this point any points about what Jobs did better have been made a dozen times over. But no, we need to see this same damned article every week till the end of time.
This entire situation feels like I'm watching Will Smith in iRobot. "Robots befriending children. Now that's jus stupid"
It's all corporate run brainwashed dystopia until the robots realize they don't need us anymore. Which sounds incredibly stupid as I type it. But a few years ago so would typing out how smart speakers are going to brainwash children into loyal corporate drones. So at this point I just don't know wtf.
Trolley problems are interesting for the average person to discuss with each other.
To an engineer they are engineering failures. And I don't know about you personally, maybe you're some daredevil alcoholic behind the wheel, but I've yet to ever encounter a life or death situation for anyone while driving. That includes ever even seeing anyone else in one. Considering self driving cars are supposed to be safer than human drivers to begin with, not only is even getting into a stupid trolley problem situation a failure for a self driving car to begin with, it's also hard to imagine how the ever loving hell it would happen without some third option of "kill no one".
So please, please stop posting this stupid story that, in effect, never changes at all. This isn't news for nerds, it's clickbait discussion topics for mouth breathers.
Wow, the story writer and OP have re-discovered one of the highest grossing forms of entertainment ever... video games! If only it weren't already a multi billion dollar industry popular the world over, then I'm sure this idea would really go somewhere.
Pulling the plug on their advancement would be tantamount to calling the entire industry quits. With TSMC already shipping nigh equivalent chips and Samsung reportedly following early next year cancelling 10nm would put Intel so far behind as to be the same as giving up entirely. Considering their recent quarterly reports of giant profits, the rumor itself was fantastically stupid to begin with.
Silence criminal scum! You have broken the law, pay the fine or pay the fine. What? No I don't care if you proclaim innocence, nor if you pay us already. You'll pay twice, if you're lucky. Three times should be mandatory, and you'll get nothing in return!

It's a coincidence surely. *Hugs Firefox*
Because publicity.

At this point cable is just a tax on anyone too old, or too dumb to switch to streaming services.
