The two are not comparable though. The normal S8 is the direct competitor of the iPhone, the Note is a phablet so a better value than an iPhone (if you're into absurdly big screens that is).
Because once a company becomes succesful enough to gain news recognition they are no longer a European company but a global one. The same is true for "American" megacorps, but the patriotism of the editors here prevents them from realising that. They think of IBM as an American company, but T-Mobile as a 'global' one. It's not like there weren't recent stories about apps used by some colonials with a certain ideology getting banned from app stores, it just wasn't specifically pointed out that it happened in America.
Miners are now migrating to ASIC based rigs because GPU arrays aren't cutting it anymore, how efficient do you think a Javascript based software that "doesn't peg your CPU" is going to be? It's a gigantic waste of electricity, nothing else.
At least Python only breaks compatibility every 10 years or so, not on an annual basis. And the transition from 2 to 3 was handled pretty well, with __future__ allowing devs to write forwards compatible code before the switch, a 2to3 converter that mostly automated the migration itself, and continued development of the 2 branch afterwards. As for people arguing about changes that's true for every feature in every language and has little to do with compatibility.
In the past it used to be stuff like "Scientists find that painting your room yellow leads to cancer!", now it's the same with AI. Turns out flipping through large amounts of statistical data until you happen upon a correlation is easily automated, and trash scientists will soon have to worry about their jobs.
It's not just about using it, but about reading it. Reddit has become big enough that rankings on it can make or break a project, so understanding how its algorithm works under the hood is important.
Can you explain how A does not imply B? It seems to me that if pages are upranked based on Google+ likes then pages without Google+ buttons would obviously get their rankings lowered.
Image recognition was never secure to begin with. If your security relies only on a visible image, that can be copied by anybody. People can set up fake road signs or break into facial recog using a photo of the owner. Hacking into Google and installing backdoors in the trained models is overkill.
Small, sometimes violent confrontations along borders are common when relations between the neighbouring countries are tense, but are not the cause of bad relations.
I guess they could've bought a domain from a non-US provider but it would've been highly ironic if their "patriotic" website would've sit on an Iranian domain. They could've gone without a domain but that has it's own problems. For example, many corporate firewalls force you to use their DNS and block directip completely.
Can someone explain what the problem is here? Serialized objects are just code, and if you're running untrusted code you've got bigger problems than bugs in your serialization libraries.
As far as I understand the graphene is only there to protect the nickel from oxidation, so it's possible that it will be replaced with something cheaper.
When there's too much supply prices drop. When prices drop people will start to work less. Now the traditional way of working less is that some work the same amount while others get fired. These guys, however, managed to do it in a more sophisticated way, coordinating between each other so the everybody works less. This helps to cushion the blow of the popping bubble. An advantage of Uber are the flexibles hours, which means it's possible for drivers to work less whithout being fired, and use their extra free time to start looking for a real job. Which is a lot harder to do when you find yourself on the street suddenly.
Mozilla needs to decide whether they want a rich browser or a minimalist one. The Firefox strategy used to be to remove as many features as possible in order to make the browser more like Chrome, while encouraging the development of extensions that replace those features. The problem was that Chrome only started as a barebones browser out of necessity, and have been steadily adding stuff while Mozilla was removing them. Meanwhile, the Chrome-like rapid release schedule was causing problems with compatibility, weakening Firefox's extension ecosystem. But while abandoning the minimalist strategy might seem like a good choice, I don't think Mozilla has a coherent plan of what to do next. These additions seem haphazard, putting in a bunch of complex functionality should come after solving the basic problems. As long as I need separate extensions for mouse gestures or rebinding hotkeys, integrating a dropbox clone into the browser should be pretty low on the priority list. I guess this is a common problem in open source, unpaid hobby developers will want to work on te new and interesting stuff, and nobody wants to do the housekeeping. There may be a lesson to be learned here: open source projects should be a lot more careful than commercial ones about removing features, because they will have a hard time convincing their coders to develop the same thing again if they change their mind later.
Every security mechanism using passcodes will be vulnerable to a bruteforce method. I imagine that if robots like this will become widespread safes will start to be equipped with timers to defeat them. Even without that though, 30 mins is still a long enough time to deter most burglers, especially with the noise this machine generates.
Now I'm not a fan of many aspects of of BTC. The fact that there's a finite number of coins lead to a gold rush and speculation bubbles instead of a stable growth, and for all the big plans about replacing all the money in the world the system scales very badly. But it's definitely not a "currency" designed for crime. Every BTC transaction is broadcast to the whole internet, making it much more traceable than paper money. The problem is not BTC, but that BTC laundries are allowed to operate due to the technical and general incompetence of financial authorities. These places have existed for years and did their business quite openly, some of them are literally calling themselves laundries. I'm surprised a crackdown took so long.

I'd say that a price increase by more than a third IS a massive jump.
Just get a phone line there and call them.

Scripts/ads slow a browser down a lot more than extensions.

Seriously, it's been over two decades.

How do we know that the mice didn't just become deaf?

How could I ever avoid using 'a' as a password without a dozen BS rules that are different on every fucking site?

Just download the program and run it on the Flash player on your machine.
You set the proof of work so that the amount of work required grows as fast as Moore's law.

So do you propose all the other FB employees walk to North Dakota at lunchtime? You can't relocate a cafeteria.
