I think the point is they're eating their own dog food, that is, showing the clients that what they're selling works. It's obviously more of a hassle than having physical people, but the message would be clear. Whether the actual effect of such marketing effort is positive or not, remains to be seen.
This is the correct answer. Professional photographers use Lightroom / darktable for organising hundreds of photos taken every shoot, and for good reason, because that's exactly what it's made for. You'll have to give up the condition of "being locked into a software" though, especially if you go with Lightroom.
You just flag/rate the images, and once you're done just filter it, select all, right click export or whatever you want set up. Organised by date, add comments, even do quite a bit of touch up to improve the photos quickly (increase exposure, get white balance right).
Not sure what you're talking about; ever since shortly after it's been marked stable, it has been rock solid. Perhaps you're recalling from the 0.16.999+??? days when it was sort of e17 but not really?
Props for everything except for choice of CPU and thus GPU; Intel D2500 atoms don't have the usual Intel graphics, but rather rely on PowerVR chipset, which isn't so well supported. I'm even surprised they can actually have Ubuntu on it; good luck trying it with any other distros, or at least, painlessly. Perhaps GMA3600 is a lot better supported? At least it sin't GMA500, which has complete dog support for anything.
It just means any whistleblower or hackers themselves can report the findings into public. Companies are pretty much forced to hand in any reports of breaches; they can't keep quiet about it because otherwise the penalties will be even more severe after the day's over.
This is a good move. It'll finally keep people/companies on their toes instead of try to hide their flaws.
It may not come easy to hear this for Americans, but fact is, China's owned the world for quite some time; the far far vast majority of everything you own and will use and own etc, comes from China. Everything depends on them. They're the ones with the power, not the US with their supposed big guns. Attacking China will just destroy everything about US, or just about any other first world nation.
They won't face any response at all. It just gets filtered out, like their firewall.
TFA comments there are wifi access points installed in government systems. I think they deserve everything they get, if they're stupid enough to allow any form of wireless communications inside a secured government facility.
Again, you're underestimating the careful care a (good) bartender has to follow when preparing for drinks. Say for instance, the recipe calls for lemon juice. A typical implementation of a robot would be to have lemon juice prepared earlier, but that has different taste profile to freshly juiced lemon. Then ok, let's have a juicer... except are you going to also roll the lemon carefully first to bring out the juice and flavour before cutting it carefully for the wedge? Or are you going to shred/press it? How are you going to do careful presentation work on the slice, like zesting it? Carefully pinch the skin to bring out the oils from the skin, but not actually put it in the drink?
And hell, that's just lemons.
I can't imagine having machines that are yet delicate enough to do this quickly, that are also small enough to fit in a bar, as well as being so versatile. Most likely, for a while yet, only humans can do the task considering how delicate the work is.
Don't think so. Although it's common to imagine a bartender as someone who just pours drinks, it's just as possible to say a programmer is someone who types stuff into a computer to do some work. It doesn't even scratch the surface of any actual professional work.
I'd say the robot would be good enough to do pre-mix drinks, for people who don't particularly care for the drink. Sort of like a vending machine. For actual bartending work involving complex cocktail production, where the bartender needs to have extremely high perception, flexibility, stability, control in mixing the drinks in just the perfect timing, temperature, amount, AND on top of that being social and friendly with ability to reply to the drinkers who sit at the bar? Nah, I think bartenders will still hold a job for a long while yet.
At least, until we get robots that pass turing test. Then we're all fucked.
Colobot was here before this, and I'm sure there are many other games that involve programming as major gameplay. Colobot itself didn't use an existing language (had some kind of OOP thing made up by the devs), but the idea is there.
But still, I'm glad the idea is being pushed. I really enjoy games that pushes the skill on the players, with actual skill, not merely time invested or money invested.
There's nothing you have to do during work hours, except keeping your workspace ergonomically sound. Standard desk, posture, good chair.
Then after work or before work, you spend an hour at the gym doing proper strength training and some cardio. I won't repeat other sites as there are many, but mainly dead lifts, squats, bench press, run-as-fast-as-you-can-a-mile. Just remember to keep improving yourself, log what you're doing, and always do a little more than before.
And that's it. If you get used to it it won't even be an hour, and you do it on alternate days too so it's not like it's every single day. That should not just make you fit, but probably one of strongest people around.
As mentioned, efficiency of PSU changes over variety of conditions (load being most significant), so it's good to check reviews that do proper measurements to get the one that has good efficiency all across the range. Unlike posts above, it doesn't always fall at 50% mark.
That said, good PSUs often sport high efficiency for a reason; they're made well. It'll serve you well to get a really high quality PSU if anything so it doesn't blow up on you, possibly losing all sorts of other parts in the computer, which would cost a lot more than just larger electricity bill.
What happened to us engineers? Where did we go wrong?
We started listening to business requirements and started engineering for products that had x year lifespan which happens to be much shorter than older machines.
Given funding, we can probably make extraordinary machines now that can last for a millennia. We just don't because of cost and customer requirements to constantly upgrade to next new thing and dump the old with lesser features and looks.
Except if you read TFA it says it's a decision by supreme court, which by I assume the high court of Australia, which is the highest and final court of appeal for making decisions on. There isn't much else to go from here, AFAIK.
No, unlike American courts, Australian courts take these things seriously. They probably sat there pondering for a long time with whole list of evidence and whatnot, and came to conclusion that indeed, the person is owed $200k worth of damages for defamation.
$200k AUD is, assuming $50k salary (relatively low income), only some 4 years worth of salary. It's not a massive jackpot of any means, and most of it probably goes to the lawyer fees. You'll barely afford half a suburban flat with it here. Evidence must have stacked that the image results search for him has made him suffer some level of financial and other damages, but not as great as people seem to think. I don't know the exact court details, but some poor judge sat there and added up the sums for this.
It's often black ice that is invisible on the roads that causes slipping, rather than visibly obvious snow. That is probably what this targets. Snow is an obvious indicator that road is dangerous, and this paint fixes parts where you can't easily see that.

...is pretty important, and you should refactor when needed if only just for that. It'll spread all over rest of the code in many ways, in good ways.

As long as the risk is identified, mitigated with good engineering, and costs from extra engineering are acceptable, there's no issue here.

That's a job for editors, not writers.

I know it exists in bigger scale, but wasn't aware of it existing on hand-held small arms scale. As in, rifle size.
I'm waiting for them to add small servos to the barrel for a feedback loop to compensate for weapon sway and etc. Real life hand-held autoaim weapons.

Not as fun as remotely playing with people's pacemakers.

In fact, you should have it on you at all times when you're working, or at least within easy reach (because they're kinda heavy).
I stand corrected on that note then. But yes, most likely this is the end of it and google will pay up.
