This... renting is fucking expensive, which is ironic because only people who can't afford a mortgage rent. It's almost as if the system were designed to enrich the rich and drain the poor, but that's for the economists to explain.
Has anyone patented the flying car yet... because it's a car... that flies, and describing attributes seems to be all that's required for a patent these days. How does it actually go about flying? we'll figure that out later let's just stop everyone else from working towards a vague idea or product attribute.
statistically it's not a problem because 90% of all driving is very short distances and 99% of a car's life is spent in the driveway or in a carpark (aka charging station). long trips are the exception, (i'm not saying that 90% of people don't do it at all) but it's worth considering the immense conveniences and long term economy of an electric for that initial inconvenience as charging and storage tech evolve.
"Only nostalgics will cling to the old habit of car ownership."
But In Europe, the average age of new car buyers is already over 50, has been climbing for years.
Young people are no longer fascinated by the iron cages stuck in traffic.
Yong people or even middle age people don't buy new cars, I don't what you do in USA but almost everyone buys second hand cars here - it's just too expensive to buy new.
To put it in perspective, there are 6 million deaths per year caused by smoking.
That's one Jewish-part-of-the-holocaust every year.
#1 If you're going to make holocaust comparisons keep in mind where this scandal originated.
#2 The affect on everyone's health are worth considering more than the relative handful that can be more definitively related to this as a cause of death. Diesel cars and Dieselgate is everywhere, it was pretty obvious before the scandal because it stinks, but we've been breathing that shit in as pedestrians for decades... i'm a young healthy individual, but it will definitely have damaged my lungs, I can't quantify it but in the future I will have decreased lung capacity, I may be less active depending on the significance, it will also have increased my chances of lung cancer... even though I don't smoke. I didn't ask for this, Diesel fumes are the only significant source of NOx in this country.
Or something equivalent, zenimax claims are basically all "We own whatever comes out of Carmacks head"... why don't they just cut to the chase and file suit against Carmack requiring all creative thought to instantly be property of Zen-ownallyourthoughts-max.
This is an interesting product but it uses ARM, that is not completely open. Yeah they supposedly dont have a management engine of any sort yet but it's still not "open" like they claim.
Fuck you May! does that count as hate speech? You are 1984 incarnate May!... I wonder, will she also require all history on the internet to be retroactively re-written... check back here to find out in 6 months! FUCK YOU MAY!!! wooo.
Your absolutely right, in fact Britain where I live has some of the worst laws in this regard, they are actively endanger freedom of speech (which we never had) by having purposely vague laws along the lines of "public vulgarity" or some nonsense.
However it's when a country attempts to imposes it's own laws on the web or entities on the web in ways that would affect all other countries that they have really lost the plot.
A new version of WannaCry ransomware is on the loose!
This is a game of cat and mouse, so don't assume you have won.
Those were my first thoughts too, but although this is part M$ being shit and part NSA harbouring vulnerabilities. It all only works if users are clueless...
Hopefully this widespread incident was enough to inform more people without costing them in anyway. Then more can understand the importance of using secure systems and keeping backups, or just not storing anything important on a machine.
Seriously though, when countries do this they are just showing that they are still growing up, they have politicians that haven't been exposed to the real world where people can and will call you names, and the internet is just a larger more accessible world.
If that's true then it must not apply to the mass of knock offs that come out of china with even cheaper components and wire in place of fuses and diodes and sellotape in place of screws.
Apple designed it to spin not roll, once spaceX finishes the thrusters they are launching that shit into high earth orbit so they can evade all Earth taxes.
This is great and all but... being on slashdot this is prime for a backup analogy, don't put all your eggs in one basket and all that. Let just hope that mountain in Norway isn't the target of some rouge asteroid or other geologically significant event.
This must be a late April Fool's thing. TFA's picture shows the gas turbines installed on his hands backwards - the intakes are pointing towards his elbows, the exhausts towards his hands. Unless you're expected to fly backwards and land using hand-stand maneuvres.
Yes he trained much like a gymnast to make sure he could hold his weight on his arms, you need a lot of core strength, it's in the video...

Also he took the jets of his boots after one near backflip, their position makes them rather precarious for control and you would need very strong legs too.
I know Angular and friends are bloated, but unless i'm missing something, is this library's pattern really to do all binding by creating the markup from JavaScript... because that is some ugly shit that MVCs are supposed to let us avoid.
you may as well burn your computer... Why not just have a USB self destruct, once someone has "tinkered" with your USB ports you can't guarantee anything.
Also, doesn't POTS still work when the power goes out?
Yes they do, provided the exchange still has power... Thing is almost all modern phones you can buy require power for all the digital fluff it comes with. However if you can find a basic POTS phone... or even better - just a speaker and a pen knife, you can strip the wires and dial by touching the wires together for pulses (this is effectively how the old rotary dial phones work)... disclaimer I last tried this when I was 10, I don't know if POTS still actually support decadic dialling.
Trying to generate a magnetosphere in place is hard, but this is quite a strategic alternative. Nothing is cheap when talking about Mars, but this has to be one of the cheapest long range construction projects with the largest potential change to the planet.
This is ultra hype... AI today is both very powerful and very stupid, people who do not understand this create this extreme hype... it's not even correct to call it stupid because in the low level functionality of AI today "clever" doesn't exist (that's built into the upper layers that don't exist in artificial NN).
The latest AI is powerful because we can directly manipulate the design of a relatively tiny network that do relatively basic things, making them do what we want can be attributed to the cleverness of the computer scientists creating them to do specific tasks, not the resulting network it self... This is where the hype begins, there is a galactic sized space between this infinitesimal functionality and the network of networks of networks of networks of networks that make up something remotely conscious and "smart" in the inventive, creative and insightful sense that we think of humans being smart.
The best analogy I can give is to say that AI today are individual bytecode instructions, the building blocks... consciousness is the operating system that grew on top over a billion years of iterations.
Disclaimer i'm not a computer scientists studying AI, but I've read enough to separate the hype from the substance.
the researcher has decided to stop reporting bugs to Microsoft after they've ignored many of his previous reports
Yeah, I can empathise... MS have some really shitty strategies for dealing with bug reports, although I don't post security bugs my experience is:
1. Copy paste replies
2. usually marked as "wont fix" cos "only affects some users", (even though it affects everyone)
3. Contrive ways to not reproduce it and close it because "does not work on some specific build on a specific combination of hardware and OS"
I know that closed source has less resources but a) don't be fucking closed source then and b) don't use underhanded techniques to reduce your bug count because it will just piss everyone off.

Then you're measuring English comprehension as much as you are awareness of a concept existing... Study invalidated.
