You ended up with something that reads almost as the same as Python, which has a much larger audience and library set. Couldn't you have just started with Python?
Well, I've been using Mint Linux for years now. 17 is very good, 18 just came out. The only downside is the confusion of MATE or Cinnamon, a distinction that is lost on normal users.
I use OSX for work (surprisingly), I use Win 7 in passing, and Linux Mint 17 at home. Out of the three, Linux is the best, which I found to be surprising. I thought the panacea to Windows would have been OSX, but OSX consistently comes up short namely because it uses and inferior BSD kernel. This BSD kernel has trouble unmounting remote drives if the connection has dropped (and seemingly can't reestablish them), the multitasking is terrible. My Pandora will skip when I compile (and I'm on a magnetic disk, quad core i5, 8g). Finder only got "Rename" as a context menu option in El Capitan, the general interface paradigm of that menu at the top is broken. There is no "real" Inkscape for OSX. "Open with" is too damn slow.
Meanwhile on Windows, you don't own your computer anymore.
Linux suffers from the usual suspects: Top-end hardware is not very well supported, Adobe apps are noticeably missing. These are generally not a problem if you don't by state-of-the-art, and can find replacement apps, which isn't too hard to do these days.
As the ultimate test, I set my retired neighbor's laptop up with Mint 17. He knows nothing of computers apart from how to use the internet, which his kids taught him. I was fielding too many Windows questions from him, so I set him up with Mint and he loves it. Nothing changes. Meanwhile, I get a call about his Vista desktop every now and then. But the Mint laptop keeps on working. Not a single issue in 3 years. His GF (yeah, he has one after his wife passed many years ago) was able to connect the Mint laptop to her Wifi, with no questions to me about how.
The majority of who I know that ride share, ride share intra-city. The odds of being picked up while driving drunk in the city are much lower than someone who commuted 20 miles into the city, gets drunk, then has to drive 20 miles back home.
In addition you still have the issue of getting back down to your vehicle the next day. So you're ride share back? That means you're paying double. I think with the impairment of already being drunk they just decide to chance it probably deal with that back and forth headache?
At what point will the vehicle suddenly find itself in the trolley problem. It's doing several hundred restatements of the scenario per second. It will have started to react far sooner than this theorized last moment decision. In sort the question isn't valid because you're applying a human trait - distraction - to the computer.
Sure there are potential scenarios vehicle crosses into on-coming traffic, a bolder rolls down a hill and lands in front of you, or a sink hole opens as you drive over it and you have to deal with it, but these are easily decided. It's decided by liability, and we already have a framework for that. The liability will sacrifice the person in the vehicle. It will do this because involving a bystander is a liability to the vehicle's insurance company. Meanwhile, in the existing legal framework, you are sill responsible for the operation of a computer operated vehicle. You legally speaking, have only yourself to blame. However even in these dire circumstances, I would trust the vehicle to use real-time data to try to make the accident as survivable as possible, for everyone. I expect it's ability to exceed my own. And I think eventually public opinion will come to believe that too - that autopilot survivability is better than human control in all circumstances.
I've noticed that there is a LOT of repetition of content in History channel content. Don't laugh, but Ancient Aliens, The Curse of Oak island, etc. all feature at least 6 repeated graphics per episode, and in the same context each time. I'd almost pay for a channel to edit it down to the unique content. I bet there's only 15 minutes of original content per episode.
In addition after every commercial, they repeat what they said before commercial.
I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias. -Stephen Colbert
I can understand that the 3.5mm jack is impinging on deisgn, however it should be able to be iterated in a way to preserve the best parts of the 3.5mm jack.
Modern headphone jacks have 4 contacts: Gnd, Left, Right, and Mic. This is also the same* number of pins on a magsafe connector. Therefore, I propose we use magsafe or mag-safe-like connector.
While I recommend against using existing mag-safe due to voltage risks, we can iterate it it easily enough for a 1V model.
* technically Magsafe has 5, with pin 3 as charge control. This is not needed.
Also another format would be a magnetic bulls-eye format of concentric contacts, so the cord can spin like an existing 3.5mm jack.
I watched a "banned" TED talk wherein the speaker claims that the rich get tax breaks because they are historically seen as "job creators". He further contends that this is not factually accurate, and that lower taxes on the middle class would create jobs. I've got a hybrid approach: What about if we auctioned off the lowest tax rates to the most job creators? This way the rich would actually be creating jobs. It for the first time directly incentivises job creation. If they don't create jobs then they don't get the rate.
It's a put-your-tax-rate-where-your-influence-is deal, which could be a win for everyone.
How long until those signals are indistinguishable from background? It's not just that the signal is there, but that the SNR is low enough to stand out.
Clearly Kabir we are assigning a negative value to mug shots. That's a value the computer isn't trained to assign or detect. It could be that thug life and mug shots are prized, and the white people shots are "lame" and worthy of chastising, like thingswhitepeoplelike.
This ends up being a bigger commentary on the observer and their biases rather than the neutral computer.
Anything that is media heavy or uses machine learning will need to still run locally. You just can't afford the round trip to the server and back in a lot of cases.
No. As an app developer, Web apps do not integrate with the hardware that well. While most pf your apps, will work just fine, there is a niche out there where running on the handset and not in a browser is the only way to get the job done.
They are fixing this. Older apps have monolithic permissions, but in the latest OSs, you can tune them. Android is copying apple in that you can now ask for a permission at runtime and the user can disable it later.
I got a 486Dx2-66 before my friends, but a few years later, in college, people had pentiums and I bought Quake. They could all run decent framerates, but not my 486. I went through all the console commands and found a mode that discarded textures and just did a solid fill, for whatever reason pink was rather prominent, but I picked up about 5fps, which made it playable.
Quake-C then was a good time sink in college. I eventually got a Socket-A ("slocket"), and did the tape-over-the-pin overlock hack on a celeron. I actually worked on the very early versions of Team fortress, with things like the gib gun and the initial sniper dot (it was an X, not a dot) TF. I checked the earliest TF releases still available for my name in the credits, but they only go back to about 2 releases after I stopped working on it. (Feel free to be skeptical)
Why mention the NIN drummer for Quake 3? Trent did the original soundtrack, which is why the nail gun ammo boxes are all marked "NIN", or was that too obvious?
Terrorists and criminals are increasingly using encryption to foil law enforcement efforts, even in the face of a court order.
Given that the majority of terrorist leadership structure (technocal and non-technical) isn't domestic, and they are completely capable of writing their own encryption apps, and hosting the services outside the US, 1. How does the bill reach those users and servers Answer: It doesn't 2. How does the bill enhance/protect/maintain security of users. Answer: It doesn't 3. How does the bill enhance/protect/maintain the security of the nation: Answer: there is only a temporary benefit until terrorists get educated about the fact the government has a back door into every phone sold or service operated in the US. Terrorists will be directed to an app that does not have a back door, and is not in the jurisdiction of the bill. Instead of the current limited surveillance capability, the communications will go completely dark. 4. How does the bill deter/inhibit the security of the terrorists: Answer: Short-term detriment until they can switch the naive users to their app, long-term benefit after. 5. How does the bill enhance/protect/maintain the security of the terrorists: Answer: provides motivation to create their own app, provides backdoors in all phones/services that can be potentially exploited by terrorist organizations and other governments, like Russians and the Chinese.
Why not release it all? "as spossible" just allows for restrictions. Even if we release everything up to 1996, that's still 20-year old tech. Ok, 1986, - year old tech... All the juicy alien stuff was super to happen before then.
While I am on Apple's side (creating that software would have proved risky for all iPhone owners, not just suspects - and I believe the outcome - unlocks which don't scale to all owners because you need the hardware in custody) I am also on the side of the FBI of being able to do their job.
All this media coverage about the FBI will just reinforce the message that using any commercial apps will result in your operatives being exposed. It is only a matter of time before they create their own secure P2P messaging application which won't respond to a warrant or any US authority. At which point we are really FBI'd, (Fucked Beyond all Imagination) since unlocking the device is then useless. The FBI might eventually be able to crack it, through vulnerabilities, but over time we can assume these will be patched, then what? It goes dark.

Does it feature encrypted micro-sharding so that I have the file but it didn't take up any space? So it's no where and everywhere?
