Barbie Gets a Brain

· Score: 5, Insightful
It saddens me. This takes away a child's ability to put words in Barbie's mouth. It also helps parents abdicate the responsibility of answering the child's questions themselves. Why should a child turn to talking Barbie? Because, like the ipad, it keeps the parent free to ignore parenting a little bit more. Inevitable, I guess, but sad.
Looks to me like it's just a question of, has any serious manufacturer tried their hand at it. Many routes exist to synthesize the Al NPs (see "Methods for synthesis of Al NPs ) and whoever licenses the technology will figure out how to make them cheaply. I mean, you could just do it in a giant glovebox to avoid the problem of the Al oxidizing.
I think this is where we get to the information in the summary that managers type almost 6x as many characters as programmers, and they like to feel like they're in charge, so dream on, programmers, the managers, who mimic the secretaries of yesteryear in their lack of a need for control keys or other useful keys, will keep things as they''ve always been.

I wish it would happen much quicker, though. Example: I think I need an app. I read a CNET review of the best app for that specific purpose. I download it, install it, and it doesn't do what I want and what the CNET review said it would. Many thousands have downloaded this selfsame app. WTF? How do I know which is a quality app when android users and writers supposedly reviewing the products will settle so low?
Yeah, I get +2 and I didn't realize it was automatic and I thought I had just become really insightful and everyone loved my posts. LOL.Thanks for letting me know I can turn it down.
I'm not techie enough to know for sure, but I don't think there was anything worth hacking in most cars built in 1995, although a few top of the line Buicks and Cadillacs had electronic data recording. List of cars with EDR
Yes, I feel like I'm in preschool with the big, bulky Legos when I want the cool small ones. And the big bulky Legos have all this crap in them reporting everything to Microsoft. Also, they are less versatile than small legos. All I want are executable programs that do what I want them to do and no more and don't share my personal data.
This reminds me of recent questions, can anyone build a car that can't be hacked? Well, yes, all the cars built 2 decades ago can't be hacked and contain all the features I want in a car (drives from A to B, air conditioning, heater, radio).
I'm wondering if this is simply a case of people feeling weird having a subordinate 10-20 years younger than themselves or bringing a 45 year old onto a team with a bunch of twenty-somethings.
Oh please. Older workers cost more (healthcare costs), won't put up with as much crap, and won't be in the workforce as long.
Also if you fire them, they can sue you based on Age Discrimination. Why do you think there's a law against discriminating against a person by age? Hmm, how did I ever get hired?
Why are you talking about browsers like it's an either/or? I use Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Iron, and even Internet Explorer depending on what I want to be doing, what cookies I want kept on the browser, etc. Firefox is poor at reading pdfs, though.
I think the relevant question is will the hovercraft trigger an IED. This probably more than poor road conditions is likely the reason for hovercrafts. Ewok attacks are not as big a problem as roadside bombs in Afghanistan, Syria, etc.
I once wrote an English paper in which I suggested pi be replaced by 3 to make the math easier. I was going for satire. The guy posting today is going for . . .
The site isn't claiming that they're being censored, or that it's a Constitutional free speech issue, just that they're being blocked.
So, I posted a link to the Stop Fast Track website on Facebook, to see if it would be blocked, and it wasn't. I can see the website link from Facebook, my friends can see the website and post on it. So, if it was a mistake to block it, it's fixed now. Get all fired up people.
My point of confusion was that she worked for a "money transfer service." Now, I don't know exactly what that means, but does it mean she had money that she went around transferring to people? And in that case, an employer might be motivated to know where the employees are all the time, as well as all the money. But I think it's all electronic transfers, and she didn't have anyone else's money, and wasn't bonded. In which case, buy some aluminum foil and get yourself your own phone.
Actually no is the correct answer according to a recent opinion piece in Seismic Research Letters , which doesn't specifically address Terra Seismic, but which notes operational earthquake forecasting is not very far along, and can at best note regions with increased probability of earthquakes of a certain size, utilizing not only seismic data but also geomorphology, geologic and tectonic studies. And as others have noted, if you frack and actually cause earthquakes, then they are much more predictable.
Yes, you read that correctly in the summary, there actually is a John Hancock tower in Boston (240 m tall). It is shorter than the better-known one in Chicago (321 m tall, twice as many hits by Google). The Boston one looks very skinny, so maybe it shakes enough for the video gizmo stuff to pick up vibrations. (What me, make fun of MIT?)
Almonds are fascinating, using over a trillion gallons of water per year in California. I always thought eating nuts was lower impact on the environment than eating meat and so a better use of resources. Not sure why we can't grow almonds in water-wealthy states - almonds grow all over the Mediterranean. In fact, almonds are very genetically close to peaches, and I'm sure would make Georgia more money than peaches, with a little investment.

What, 8%? Rough day in court for them. Only $31 Million - and, that includes their photocopying costs.

There we go, turned it down.

No, 1984 was reference to a certain novel with a level of surveillance I feel comfortable accepting, as opposed to what's happening now.

- Take me back to 1984. Please.

Here is a link to a handy list of cars that have Electronic Data Recording. For the tech unsavvy who can't figure out how to disable an EDR, it should be possible to use this list when car shopping, at least for the next few years.
More specifically SRWare Iron which also can be loaded and run from a flashdrive. My brother turned me onto this, I confess.

You flatter slashdot, if you think this is so.
Nate Silver did very poorly in the UK election just this spring. His trend was better than most pollsters, but he was still way off.

Violated by police officers in many places including Ferguson, Baltimore.
