ALL their phones use this spectrum.
But it's going to take a class action lawsuit to get them to agree to their own rules, because there is no way Ajit is going to take them to task for violating their agreement.
Thank you. I had never thought of tax breaks as a prisoner's dilemma, but it's completely obvious in hindsight. I learned more from your two paragraphs than everything else I've read today. Had I upvotes, you would have them.
Where did you see the words 'all men' anywhere in the summary or article? You seem to be inventing a claim that was never made so you don't have to listen.
PC Part Picker... and you can tell it to check Amazon and NewEgg outomatically and pick whichever gives you the best price, taking Prime and Tax into account. Even with Prime, I actually find NewEgg to usually be cheaper for high value PC guts. For fiddly bits like cables and fans Amazon usually wins.
Not relevant. They didn't make a mistake and get corrected 10 times... they made a prediction but didn't know it was wrong yet because it was a 10 year forcast, then made another prediction a year later still not knowing their previous prediction was so off, etc. That's not 10 years of mistakes. That's 10 years of preferring to err on the side of caution rather than speculate that rampant growth would occur. Don't forget that 10 years ago solar was not competetive yet, and we had not even seen the leasing business model that has fueled the recent growth.
Customers get a discount launching on a re-used rocket vs a new one. That's one way that the process is paying off for both SpaceX and the launch customers.
Silly nitpick, there are so many better ones to use. We have aircraft transponders and flight schedules for exactly this reason. Adding rockets to that would be a minor change. Hell, other than adding a new icon for 'rocket' to the aircraft controller's display, not much would change technically.
Efficiency, price, safety... plausible issues. 'OMG, they are nuking us' is not.
Credit FREEZES are already free, and are far better than Credit Locks. Companies like Equifax cannot sell your information if you request a credit freeze. From Brian Krebs:
Q: I see that Trans Union has a free offering. And it looks like they offer another free service called a credit lock. Why shouldn’t I just use that?
A: I haven’t used that monitoring service, but it looks comparable to others. However, I take strong exception to the credit bureaus’ increasing use of the term “credit lock” to steer people away from securing a freeze on their file. I notice that Trans Union currently does this when consumers attempt to file a freeze. Your mileage may vary, but their motives for saddling consumers with even more confusing terminology are suspect. I would not count on a credit lock to take the place of a credit freeze, regardless of what these companies claim (consider the source).
Other bureaus, like TransUnion and Experian, are trying mightily to steer consumers away from a freeze and toward their confusingly named “credit lock” services — which claim to be the same thing as freezes only better. The truth is these lock services do not prevent the bureaus from selling your credit reports to anyone who comes asking for them (including ID thieves); and consumers who opt for them over freezes must agree to receive a flood of marketing offers from a myriad of credit bureau industry partners.
I'm sure that the court action in a US court will have a huge effect on that Russian site, hosted in Russia, made by a Russian woman.
Or, you know, not.
Sci-Hub will continue to not give a shit what the random whinging of profit mongering science leeches like Elsevier and ACS. The world will collectively ignore the judgement and continue on reaping the benefits of free and open access to scientific research. And search engines will roll their eyes at requests to delete their indexes; hell, the corporations can't even get Google to stop indexing game and media piracy... do you really think they'll be able to deter the far less morally dubious 'piracy' that Alexandra's Sci-Hub encourages?
Just one more news article to pile on to the entire Barbara Streisand effect pile, just to make sure nobody is unaware of this awesome site.
They pick up the EM wave inefficiently (passively) at the start. It gets the antenna vibrating, which then increases its efficiency (now a non-Foster, active antenna) to thousands of times higher than normal.
This is probably not a real ransomware attempt. It's either a test that got released into the wild, or it's a simple malicious virus that was released and is masquerading as ransomware. Because it was initially released via a Ukrainian government website that businesses there need to use, it seems possible that this is another attack on Ukraine by the Russian government.
Most ransomware infections use a different wallet code for each victim; this one has just one. Most ransomware also takes communication via TOR so it can't be blocked; this one used a public email. The dichotomy between the competence of the infection and the incompetence of the ransomware portion is what gives the impression that this is not really ransomware.
What you're missing depends entirely on who you befriend on the platform. If you have intelligent, reasonable friends you might be missing intelligent reasonable posts. You could be missing invitations to events your friends will be at.
If you have no friends and no family, or they are mostly idiots, then you are not missing much.
The camera SYSTEM isn't connected to the Internet. But they're connected to each other, and the system has Windows hosts on it... probably the C&C machines that collect the video feeds.
So... they just gave a buzzword to 'Use bittorrent and distributed caching services'? Because as far as I can tell that's all fog computing is... using client resources and distributed services. Bittorrent, Akamai, eCurrencies... they just created a buzzword to describe what many services have been doing for decades.
While it's impossible to trust Google Play completely, developers of large applications have stated a few times that the bins they were in flipped over reasonably close to when they go that many users purchasing their app.
So it has a historical confirmation of reasonable accuracy for non-Google apps, and the result for this app isn't very flattering to Google, so there is no obvious reason to disbelieve this number is reasonably accurate as well.
It can't make up his mind about whether he prevailed or failed. And that's because it fails to explain that 'A Hollywood man' from sentence one is not the same person as 'Wesley Victor' from sentence two.
I'm trying to find where to watch an English stream, but all I'm finding is news about China's censorship. That's great, but it's affecting me by proxy because I can't find somewhere that's going to stream it here!
The second match is at 0330 UTC on Thursday (late evening today, Wednesday, in the US)... where will it be broadcast?
I run a Help Desk. The reps who do the most tickets are not the best. That's because the best reps can fix issues without escalating, but that takes time. Do doctors who take many patients mostly do the easy stuff? Are the doctors who take fewer patients specialists in their field, or handling more difficult cases that take more attention per patient?
Does seniority mean they take more difficult cases? Does seniority mean they care less about their malpractice insurance (because they are more secure financially)? Does seniority change which patients seek you out?
There are so many potential confounding reasons for this correlation that do not depend on the doctor being less capable or providing worse care in some manner. I'm not saying that there is no cause for concern... I'm saying that the study has potential confounds that its statistical groupings did not eliminate.
Banks already invest billions in stock trading algorithms. You think they aren't already investing in loan-approval AI? Venture capital AI? Repossession value AI? They will deploy these decision making algorithms first as tools for the bankers, then in place of the bankers. And with the wealth of data they have in their own systems they will be better able to train these AI than some startup.
Deep learning NN require shit-tons of training data or they are not robust and fail in weird ways. The incumbant banks have that data, and they sure-as-hell are not selling it to some startup so they can learn to out-compete them.
I don't see how a course that encourages collaboration between peers can then turn them in for cheating when they come up with the same answer. You can't collaborate without often coming to the same result using the same methods.
While coding, in its purest form, is a creative act the same is not so of most 'coding 101' problems. They are often rote mechanical pieces, intended to highlight a particular software concept, with little room for creativity (especially if, like any sane student, you're trying for the simplest and shortest solution).
Unless they are monitoring the entire typing history for students, and they only brought students up on charges where their submission was created with a single keystroke (Ctrl+V), I don't see how this is a fair system.

This is why I run AdBlock. In the past, Flash ad-filled sites used to slow down a lot before click to run was added to Firefox.

BGP routing has no authority mechanism. Anyone can publish any route. This is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last.

Wesley prevailed. Christopher Wheeler failed.
