Okay, I realize the prize isn't supposed to be made posthumously, but - the Nobel committee should have additionally named Albert Einstein and Honorary Living Person for the day and then added him to the list.
Sure, he's already won it before... but, it's been a century and we keep getting reminders just how amazing the guy was.
We simply would not be capable of knowing if we're simulated as our own thought processes would in fact be governed by the same rules of the system we're attempting to prove or disprove.
I think they're simply going to have to "eagleproof" their drones. Which unfortunately will make them need to be bigger (and more expensive) for a given-sized payload, since a greater chunk of the mass fraction will need to go into structure.
Or they could just make drones that don't look like pigs - then the angry birds would stop attacking.
Years ago I spent some time incarcerated in an Ohio prison (my life's changed since then, I just want to point out I have a certain perspective about this)
I'm glad you've managed to work things out (sorry if that sounds flippant; I really do mean it).
Was this was a government-run prison, or a privatized one? The phone situation is reprehensible, regardless... I'm just curious if it's possibly a result of the move to for-profit prisons run by corporations, of if some government bureaucrats are making bad decisions due to greed or even spite.
You might want to, you know, at least look at the first sentence from darkain's link before commenting.
The linked story was about Russians noticing their GPS not working in the vicinity of the Kremlin. It's quite easy to see why the Russian Government would want that; but it's rather more difficult to argue why Ukrainians or Muslims would be involved.
But domains - even old, established ones - change hands somewhat regularly. So maintaining a useful and effective whiltelist would likely involve significantly more work than one might think.
I've got an old mule and her name is Nenet Fifteen years on the Khufu Canal She's as good an old worker as you're gonna get Fifteen years on the Khufu Canal We've hauled some barges in our day Filled with giant blocks and hay And every inch of the way we know From Luxor to Khufu - Ho!
Low bridge, everybody down Low bridge for we're coming to a town And you'll always know your neighbor And you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Khufu Canal
I used to wear a Garmin Vivosmart. It seemingly did everything this device does. It also had a low res OLED display which could display notification text and symbols - which was significantly more useful than this - this is more along the lines of the low-end Jawbone or Fitbit devices of 3-5 years ago.
My Garmin had 8-10 days battery life.
The only advantage I can see to this is the physical watch hands are obviously "always on". And perhaps the solar powered bit means you won't have to keep to that brutal once-a-week charging schedule.:-)
I thought the "man bun" had already had a quick and painful death.
Unfortunately not - with the start of the new academic year, I see them all the time at UW. of course I'm in reasonably close proximity to the CS department, so nerd chic Is displayed more prominently in this region of the campus.
This isn't really a smart watch, it's more of a solar-powered basic activity tracker like Fitbit, Garmin, and Jawbone have been making for years. The only difference seems to be they put a physical watchface with physical watch hands on one.
One of "top 15 startups to watch in 2017"? Why was this company chosen so?

Really this article has more of a "hey we are Fierce Wireless, please come look at us" shilling vibe than anything else. Especially when, like other such articles which appear on Slashdot, it was submitted by "an anonymous reader". I'm guessing Mr. Anonymous Reader has an @fiercewireless.com email address.

Do they have an ugly notch at the top of the screen as well?
Thanks - I'm on it!
Cooking wasn't invented in the last century FFS.
You're right. Cooking was invented in 2002 by Rachael Ray.
What if my preferred breakfast is glazed donuts?
We already have a national ID - it's called Social Security - so what's the objection to another one?
Had I been drinking something...
If you weren't drinking something, then I timed it wrong.

If you ask them about the delay, Elon might cancel your order.

Sure - that's what they *want* you to think...
Hands up if you're old enough to remember that TV commercial!
Sorry, I was holding my hand up but the bursitis made me bring it back down before you saw it.

Wikipedia suggests that Russia spoofs GPS whenever Putin is in the area.
No! No hack, no spoof. Putin Strong, like bull. Forceful personality warps space around him. West just jealous they not have such leader.
Or Achill Island.
Maybe we should release a GMO Home Sapiens that's more resistant and less able to mate and breed instead.
We could call them Bioroids.
Perhaps Trump was form Nambia, I demand to see it birth certificate, and not the forgery that he likes to show.
Birth certificate? I'd settle for a tax return.

Apple promote Touch ID has having 1 in 50,000 chance of false positive, while Face ID is 1 in 1,000,000
For sufficiently loose definitions of 1 in 1,000,000, apparently.

If you're backing up your company's data to tape... have you - even once - went through the restore process to make sure you can actually recover it?
