Sure but we are not talking about that kind of deviation, it's more like saying New York City is north of Los Angeles. Yes it is technically north, but there is a whole lot of east there as well you are ignoring... Have you ever heard anyone define NYC as being "North of LA"? No, even though technically it is correct - it's not a good descriptive statement.
I was not saying it's not technically correct, just that the phrasing is odd to me. It's also kind of amusing to think of Japan as being considered in "the east" yet something Japan did is affected The West, however slightly, by sending something East (and yes a bit North).
Go look at a globe (virtual or otherwise) and see what I mean. I believe Alaska is five timezones away from Japan... (it's across the international dateline but still).
I guess most people figured out what I meant from the context of the article (and my subject) but I have to admit the error there, thanks for pointing it out!
I guess you could maybe define it as North-East, but any way you slice it (even considering projection madness) Alaska is a fair bit east of Alaska... really pretty much Russia is north of Japan.
By saying "as far north as" you are really saying something along the lines of about as far north as from the bottom of the U.S. to the top,
Asians are short. So their eyes are closer to the code than most other nationalities. Caucasians are too tall and gangly. Their eyes are too far away from the code to perform a proper review.
Ahh, but have you done studies that record set monitor height by race? If not I'm not sure you could consistently determine distance to code. You'd also have to record screen to eye distance factoring in the spacing from eye to screen in addition to height, the amount of lean-in by race, and average font size to determine comprehensibility to distance ratios.
Okay, so are these flaws in the protocol proper or in the implementations?
Although I posted in jest, this is a really good question...
I would argue that it's hard to really say something is purely an "implementation bug" in a system where the protocol is so complex, many implementation flaws are pretty much inevitable.
Designing a spec at the level of LTE though, I'm not sure it's really possible to design without a lot of complexity though, so in reality although I joke I personally cut the protocol designers a lot of slack as they are doing a hard job, and LTE seems to have worked out pretty well despite flaws.
I think that those overlords would like to have everyone think that they know more about you than they really do.
I agree, what they have is a lot of raw data - and as we can all see by the ads we are served, a lot of bad assumptions about who we are. Algorithmically they probably do not know as much as many think they do.
But the potential is there, especially if they chose to target individuals for more careful analysis... that's what makes them more potentially dangerous I think, especially Facebook might have embarrassing content for almost any future political candidate (though I would also argue embarrassing information from the past has been devalued greatly and may not have much impact going forward).
They should have either put some lasagna on another beach or set up a couple Nermal statues on the beach.
They should do that but not to keep the Garfields out...
As I was reading it, I was thinking what a massive waste it was not to turn this into a giant tourist draw! Like you said, Nermal statues on the beach, discounts in town if you managed to find a Garfield phone part and bring it into local bars and restaurants. Garfield themed beach towels and so on.
The Apple biosystem requires you replace your devices periodically.
Apple themselves said last year they expect people to be using devices longer and longer, which is why support for older OS's has stayed through multiple OS upgrades.
Apple's ecosystem in fact does the opposite, it keeps your device working as long as possible, til eventually maybe you want an upgrade.
I do think Apple should open up all companies to be able to get apple parts and manuals. But it's not like Apple is forcing people to buy new devices.
I think signing a record deal with an algorithm is actually a good idea, and potentially the future.
Imagine if you will, that someday you could purchase access to competing algorithms that generate music. Such a thing could be downloaded locally, or streamed from the cloud, and you could tailor what music it made for you - like asking it to generate a song like something Zero7 would make, or to generate an ambient ever changing stream of music, that tried to keep your heart rate in a certain range and would adjust the beat dynamically to try and affect your mood.
So signing for access to an algorithm seems like a good idea and something that will become more common over time... eventually all things become code.
Where there is space, just send black (0), no need for Skippy the Wrench to see all the pretty stars.
Then for the rest of the scene, describe the object the camera is seeing in terms of lego blocks, which are small and render well into any object as Lego has demonstrated repeatedly via parks and video games.
The sharing economy skirts those regulations and allows individuals to become competitive with the big companies in those areas, but with no oversight the people in the weird fringes of society become front and center.
So what do we call Slashdot ACs? The Aristocrats.
Your elitism is appalling.
What happens when someone releases online a video of a minor changing or in the bathroom?
Jail, because there are laws against that kind of thing you know?
In particular for this topic, there are in fact laws in many places against recording people without them knowing. I wouldn't say the desire to see what renters are doing to a property is in any way "fringe" and I think you are quite a horrible person for attempting to belittle the people trying ti make money from personal property.
Slashdot Mirror
Even the summary says that its affecting frogs in pristine environment, with no pesticides and long before global warming was a real concern.
It's a pretty good idea to run new apps in an environment where you can monitor network traffic and see what they are sending.
Oh I agree, my post is pedantic AF to use the kids lingo. Just felt compelled to bring it up for the sake of discussing the nuances of English.
Just like San Francisco is North of Los Angeles.

New conspiracy theory: The geologists somehow triggered the 2011 earthquake and tsunami,
I have to say that theory has some good traction, as who else would know best HOW to trigger an earthquake?
As the old saying goes, a little knowledge and a lot of dynamite is a dangerous thing.

More responses along these lines please!
"Eventually, it turned out LTE was more flaw than protocol".

I'll bet Google knows even a bit more about what EVERYONE wants to do online.
But I'd grant that Facebook is probably second in line.
Facebook does probably know more about how everyone REACTS to various things online...

I'll throw this out there as a fun out of context quote:
"Ar Viltansou and local officials say they will continue to harvest Garfields from the coastline."
Monsters!

it generally takes 3 to 4 seconds just to complete a SINGLE connection
Here, I helpfully elucidated for you why you are an idiot.
Ask me how I know you are not a programmer. Why on Slashdot? It seems like you could go in any mall and demonstrate how stupid you are.
Great story, enjoyed reading.

What with the amount of BS she produces, you'd need quite a few tractors in good working condition to clean up after her.
Sounds pretty racist to me for Facebook to be paying so much attention to white people.
Almost forgot April 1st as a thing was coming up, nice to be mentally fortified.
It just means they have to pay a little more to get bumped up on the SpaceX launch schedule for the BFR.
