What we discovered with the public beta of Glass was that sousveillance, watching other people from within a scene, is deemed creepier than surveillance, monitoring a scene from outside it. Credit Google with discovering something new about human nature. Now we know how to do Glass, or its successor, right.
Glass is a great idea for surgeons, mechanics, and any worker who needs a hands-free way of looking at reference material while working inside a motorcycle or a human heart. Niche applications would have given Glass a cool factor to take into the larger world, rather than having acquired an asshole factor in the outside world first and having to overcome that in the workplace.
Finance / banking is one of those lines of business that requires a degree of all employees for no particular reason. An MBA or other job-specific cert applies only to the higher positions; for everyone else, it's just a matter of policy that you have something.
So if you overpaid at Evergreen College for that genderqueer theory masters that by now you have found opens no employment doors, you will end up working for a bank or collection agency, shuffling that very same legacy paperwork incompetently enough to let large numbers of your fellow liberal arts slackers off the hook for their student loans.
Ethereum has done it before in a previous hacking. They could write a patch, in theory, to do a fork and invalidate all transactions to the Hacker's address.
If cryptocurrencies want to go legit as a legal tender, they need to do the same to ransomware addresses.
So long as we have the AIs keep us informed of the meaning of each coined term, being able to observe new natural languages arise and evolve is research gold. It would shed more light on old questions like, is there a human 'machine language' underlying all the natural languages we speak?
I'm not a huge fan of the California regulatory environment in general, but banning non-competes outright was, as proven by the ongoing performance of Silicon Valley, a great idea. Let's hope it will be the first state to try allowing competition in the healthcare field to control costs. As with banning noncompetes, this will be vilified as a horrible idea until someone actually tries it.
"The Catholic Church used to be all about [torture and forcibly converting nonbelievers], too"
Yes, and fixing that took a reformation followed by centuries of evolving secular law to control church power. Will it take as many centuries to fix Islam?
Adobe prides itself on making its photo editing and organizing software convenient for professionals by offering a massive variety of shortcut keys for every conceivable operation in applications like Photoshop and Lightroom. If Adobe had stuck to a set of shortcuts that could be annotated in the application menus in the usual manner there wouldn't be a problem, but Adobe quietly implements a vastly larger number of shortcuts that even experienced users tend to find out about years later upon reading someone's obscure photographic blog.
What this leads to is accidentally pressing one of these hidden shortcut combinations while in an editing session and having your Lightroom screen suddenly change beyond all recognition, with no obvious way to change it back to your preferred normal state. Then you have to take a few days off scouring more obscure blogs to find out that Command-tab-tilde-wave a chicken around your head was what caused all of your fonts to display the same color as the background.
"Slashdot doesn't need to allow all of unicode (feel free to leave out emoji, for example), but at least allow common letters and symbols. Slashdot's current behavior - silently stripping them - is terrible. "
YouTube's proprietary music check algorithm already flags birdsong as being copyrighted: https://www.techdirt.com/artic... Let Brussels send hunters to American woods to rid the world of these pirating birds. And we'll let our hunters know they're coming.
Not only did I have all my vaccinations as a kid, but I recently had shots for shingles (having had natural chicken pox back in the nineteen hundreds, when children still had to go through that) and pneumonia. No matter how much GMO-free tofu you may have gorged on, just my getting close to you would probably give you autism.
When my generation made its mark as college protesters, we generally opposed dirigism by the school administration, however that played into the issues we were concerned with. As Laura Kipnis points out in her recent expose of college culture "Unwanted Advances" today's protesters use the administration to suppress viewpoints and speakers they prefer not to hear.
yup, exactly, colleges are meant for education, not brainwashing the young with progressive liberal commie propaganda
Even the Communists at least believed in human perfectibility and application of reason to solving problems. Today's leftists, when they're not promoting primitive apocalyptic religions, don't believe that man has a future at all.
In every culture, the leading universities have been the institutions that transmit the core values of that culture to the next generation, as well as being repositories of the literature and arts that culture originated. Our own liberal arts schools already have a problem with enforced groupthink and suppression of free speech by bands of thugs. If they actually come to believe that the Western Civ they are supposed to be transmitting to our young is something evil, then they will have become as useless as they are overpriced.

Who the hell named that ship?! Are the sister ships the USS Wanker and USS Berk?
It's an American city. Years ago, people also complained about having a warship named the Corpus Christi.

I'm already lobbying to get Xeljanz admitted as a word.

The court is saying the debt never existed, so it is not debt forgiveness. It should not be taxed unless the IRS is particularly cruel.
Which means that it will be taxed then.

And in Arizona right at the moment, it's rainy season.
Now it's more like hanging onto two bars of the grating from underneath, desperate to avoid joining Windows 8.

Okay, mill me a hollow sphere with your CNC.

Around here the mail service is spotty, but Amazon uses mail and UPS about fifty-fifty.
Can we just have the app apply gay cow troll back instead?
Why are you so adamantly opposed to college education where you can learn things?
When liberal arts schools start offering this kind of curriculum once again, we will support it.
