The 'communication' is massively exaggerated. It's simply host manipulation, which is not at all new, and what they've discovered is the phenomenon of a kind of information transfer - they have not discovered any form of language beyond what they already knew about mRNA.
To the scientists' credit, demonstrating host manipulation by a parasitic plant, with physical injection of mRNA as the mechanism, is pretty cool and maybe will lead to all sorts of interesting science and practical applications.
Probably it is just that the 'journalist' does not understand the meaning of the word 'communication'.
Attire is a choice, and like *every other choice* it can demonstrate good or poor judgment.
Disrespecting your co-workers (or, if applicable, customers) demonstrates poor judgment. Not anticipating or understanding the consequences is immaturity.
Perhaps they are also confusing engineers, a type of highly-trained professional with excellent problem-solving skills, with people who incorrectly call themselves engineers.
It's an interesting optimization problem, and undoubtedly Walk Score is using moderately sophisticated algorithms, but Munson didn't use any math beyond basic arithmetic.
Easy - Internet Exploiter. It hasn't caused physical explosions for a very long time, but there's probably several exploits happening because of Internet Explorer just while I'm typing this.
If at some point in the past the mass of the universe was in a volume wholly contained within its own Schwarzschild radius, why did the universe not become (or, more accurately, remain) a black hole?
"...Schwarzschild’s solution is a static one, meaning that the metric of space does not evolve as time progresses. But there are plenty of other solutions—de Sitter space, for one, and the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, for another—that describe spacetimes that either expand or contract."
Literally everything else in the article was off-topic, and I can't help but feel this highly evasive 'answer' might have been "Ask Ethan" admitting he just didn't know.
Which is a pity because it is a fascinating question.
I have to agree. If an initial product is good, subsequent versions either extend the product, without invalidating the original documentation, or they introduce unwarranted complexity for little or no gain.
I know the 'improvements' are often (though not always) done in good faith, but superfluous complexity, breaking compatibility, or forcing workers to re-learn the tool they use every day are practically never worthwhile trade-offs.
I really hope computers stop getting more powerful, because the trend in last few years has been for software bloat to use up the added capacity, and now computers are getting more powerful but less useful.
Because discrimination is ignorant and morally wrong. Reverse discrimination the same as any other discrimination.
The only difference is that, for example, in certain areas sexism against females is a statistically significant social problem whereas sexism against males is a matter of isolated cases, but in other areas (e.g. family court) the opposite form of discrimination is tolerated if not promoted, and in many areas there is no meaningful distinction in the first place. These problems should be addressed - sometimes recognizing that women are unfairly disadvantaged compared to men, sometimes recognizing that men are unfairly disadvantaged compared to women, and sometimes recognizing that equality has already been achieved.
Some people, however, don't want to do that much thinking and prefer to stick with their stereotypes. Also known as bigotry.
Very skewed statistics are a sign that your process may not be as "blind" a you think it is, which is *different* kind of racism/sexism/etc/ but a problem nonetheless.
Of course, "70% male", "55% white", given the actual statistics for, say, graduates in IT programs, suggests they've already been engaging in politically-correct reverse discrimination.
The on-going technology churn we've seen in the last decade is *not* a feature of a revolution in progress that may be coming to an end, it's a reflection of stagnation in technology, without the ideal data centre technology (at least in terms of software) having achieved any kind of dominance. There's been a endless parade of new web technologies, none of which is more than an ugly hack on HTML. Websites are better than they were in twenty years ago, but certainly not 20 years' worth of progress better.
Apparently Coco the cat: "reported back." and "identified dozens of Wi-Fi networks"
It seems Coco is doing far more than just walking around carrying the hardware. So, is Coco's performance better or worse than a human doing the same thing?
When people call Obama a war criminal or a hypocrite, that's a criticism, not a compliment, even if some people's thinking is so warped that they think it's the other way around.

Um, yes, actually, that might be exactly how it would work.

So... stop being Microsoft?
(I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I just don't think the implied institutional suicide will appeal to them.)

You've missed the point. Software bloat has started accelerating *faster* than hardware is improving, resulting in a net loss for the user.
And the cause is frequently the egos of bad programmers.
A little hypocritical coming from someone who helped start a rebellion about not paying taxes.

Our soldiers always go somewhere else to fight.
The ones not going somewhere else are not called soldiers, they're called the police or the NSA or some other euphemism.
He's either the best parent. Or the worst.
I honestly can't decide.
Those are the real cases and need medication.
Those are real cases. Medication may or may not be the appropriate therapy.

Is it a thousand killbots with a typo, or one megabots?
No one knows how to program general intelligence.
Including whether or not this might be it.
We have *no clue whatsoever* how human intelligence works, including what it isn't.

Because the "non-governmental" part matters.
I first read

as

Should we tell whoever wrote the headline what 'wiring' actually means?
