Ah, looks like either Wired caught the mistake or someone made one in summarizing. It currently reads, "While ray tracing is a staple of Hollywood visual effects and is beginning to worm its way into high-end processors and Nvidia's recently announced RTX line, no game console has been able to manage it. Yet."
Human brain genes in animals brought to term, editing human children... Did China never hear of medical ethics? Something is going to go horribly wrong.
I had the misfortune to have to take a "Race, class and gender" course when in college. That I refused to accept the absurd notion that only white people can be racist hurt my grade.
Racism is the belief that ethnicity defines unrelated aspects of a person, such as personality traits, behavior, and the capacities for reason and morality; typically in a negative way. There is no dependency on power dynamics, though I was taught there was. If anyone is making the distinction between lingering tendrils of systemic racism and individual racism, it is not in liberal political rhetoric.
In public speech, there is a growing hyper-sensitivity to racism that results in perfectly innocuous statements being called racist on the most vague and tenuous of bases. I've been told that simply disagreeing with Obama was racist. Calling someone dumb is identified as racist if the person in question is black. Hell, any comment that can be connected in any way to a racial slur forgotten a century ago becomes an opportunity to pounce on someone for racist "dog whistles" only the accuser hears.
Racism is bad. It is irrational, and unhelpful at best. But the hypersensitive, extreme-left, "social justice" crowd's behavior is just as bad. By seeing it everywhere and viciously overreacting, they have become the monsters they thought they were fighting.
Change is stressful. It doesn't matter if a change is good or bad, it is stressful. If you tell people they are bad for being stressed out by changes, that will cause problems. It will cause an equally powerful counter-action. In other words, if there is a rise in "white nationalism", it is the direct result of the behavior of those who think they are fighting it.
Because apparently, everything has to be framed as an environmental issue.
My best guess as to the excuse for the claim is that he's saying the airlines could improve the planes or routes somehow instead of padding flight times, but I don't really see how that works. Hell, maybe they just think that will make people pay more attention to an empty story.
Let's face it, this is a story about airlines providing better estimates for flight times. It's pretty boring.
Socialism cannot function if people can just up and change jobs whenever they want, or move wherever they want. The government must control the means of production, and labor is a means of production.
To all you kids who think Socialism is some great thing, this is why the three generations before you fought so hard against it.
Have you looked at the proposed amendments? Exempting small ISPs to increase competition, exempting rural providers to encourage building out more broadband access, and exempting ISPs already working with the FCC to serve rural healthcare all sound like pretty reasonable proposals that would improve access where access is limited and increase competition in a monopolistic marketplace.
Women's magazines do seem to be little more than books of advertisements with an interview somewhere in the middle. No men's magazines get delivered to my house, so I can't speak to them past my memory of Playboy, which had far fewer ads than these things addressed to my girlfriend.
It's really simple. The ads are an annoying distraction. Something you tolerate seeing because it pays for the site, not something that shapes your life.
This is a fight over making sure consumers see certain kinds of ads, while consumers don't want to see any. That's ridiculous. Show me the person who is upset because they weren't bombarded with ads about improving their credit and I'll give their number to all the robocallers I hear from.
Oh boo-hoo, someone on the board has entirely unrelated political opinions some employees don't share, better get rid of it. And god forbid that someone directly involved in the stickiest aspect of AI be on the board, I'm sure it's better to just let them figure out the ethics on their own, without any non-military influence.
Short sighted fools. That's what Google and those "thousands of employees" are. Looks like they want a politically pure board that, because it's based on politics, is utterly incapable of doing its job.
Politics over all, and in place of all. Great idea, worked awesome for the USSR.
Amazon's inability to get along with Netflix and Google (no YouTube on Fire) is why Roku makes FireTV look like a joke. That was the determining factor in my decision to go with Roku instead of Fire.
Are you fiscally irresponsible? I'm not poor, but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy a new TV every 5 years. That's just wasting money on replacing something that works perfectly well.
Just because there will be true but unprovable propositions does not indicate that axiomatic proofs are insufficient.
What it really means more than anything, is that the Clay Institute won't have to pay out on all the prizes. Goldbach's Conjecture, for example, is obviously true but may never be formally proven.
Well, that's not really how the theorem works. It isn't that proofs can't be 100% complete, it's that there are true propositions that can't be proven in an entirely complete logical/computable system. Basically, that you can either fudge the rules to prove everything (completeness), or unfudgeable (consistent) rules that won't be able to prove everything.
"When a criminal on the street steals money from your wallet, they go to jail. When small-business owners cheat their customers, they go to jail,"
But if a bank gets robbed, and the bank's customers' money is stolen, we don't put the bank manager in jail, we put the robber in jail. A corporation that got breached is far more like a robbed bank than it is a pickpocket.
If she wants to change the law to call a corporation that fails to do its due diligence in protecting user data criminally negligent, that's fine. If she wants to take a company that was taking reasonable precautions but got breached anyway, and send the executives to prison for having been robbed, that's absurd.

Nvidia's 2000 series starts at $350 and goes up to $1200. What are these, "$10,000 high-end processors", mentioned in the article?
Why does black-hole to black-hole travel being faster mean that wormholes are too slow to be useful?
Why should I believe a paper on wormhole physics that wasn't written by Col. Samantha Carter of the SGC?
(Okay, that one was a joke)
Little weird though that he came back and married his grand-niece.
I wonder where you got such absurd numbers. Not from good science, that much I know.

To all you kids who think Socialism is some great thing, this is why the three generations before you fought so hard against it.
Were none of those even worth hearing?
Not both. If you want to build ads into my TV, you're giving it to me for free, not thousands of dollars.
Which is why this is so absurd! People are freaking out over making sure we don't miss out on certain ads, while we don't want to see any.
Women's magazines do seem to be little more than books of advertisements with an interview somewhere in the middle. No men's magazines get delivered to my house, so I can't speak to them past my memory of Playboy, which had far fewer ads than these things addressed to my girlfriend.
What's your understanding of the term "discrimination"? What do you think it means?
This is a fight over making sure consumers see certain kinds of ads, while consumers don't want to see any. That's ridiculous. Show me the person who is upset because they weren't bombarded with ads about improving their credit and I'll give their number to all the robocallers I hear from.

So, what notifications do you allow?
Yes, but isn't that just an extra column in the table?
Why? Plenty of buildings have doormen that recognize all the tenants. Are they bullshit?
