When I was actively playing tournament chess the computer world champion program was about as good as a mid-level club player. It ran on a big mainframe at Northwestern University. Most strong players were sure that a computer would never be able to beat a human grandmaster. And now a damn phone wrapped in toilet paper can do it.
No but he was a dipshit that bought the ticket. 100% rookie move.
A partner would be both expensive and risky. So far, the only evidence they seem to have is that somebody messed with the camera, and that he had "an interest in root kits". Well he's the security director. Not exactly a shocking revelation. Would you convict on those two facts? I don't think you can. If forensics on the computer don't reveal anything I'd say he walks. All the way to the bank.
especially since they don't make a left-handed one
I'm left-handed and wear my watch on the right. As a result I've always had the crown on the wrong side. But if you flip around the Apple watch it handles it properly. So if I get one it will be the first watch I've owned with the crown on the proper side.
Especially in the future when we can sell cars that are fully automated and do not need any of the controls that humans use to drive a car -- the steering wheel, pedals, switches, etc. -- I expect they will actually be cheaper than non-autonomous cars.
At that point you don't need the front seats, so they can be made smaller. You don't need glass everywhere, so they can be made stronger and safer. And the back seat cabin could be made extremely protective of its passengers.
Back in the early 80's I had a job working at night watching the network of the then-new ATMs, and restarting them when they crashed (often). It was a time-sharing place with big mainframes and giant spools of tape. The write speed on those was horrible, partly because first you had to wake up the invariably dozing tape hanger, who would then stumble over, find the proper tape, and put it on the spool.
Yes. You'd think that editors would follow a standard routine. The first pass would be cleaning up grammar and spelling, followed then by checking the sources. Are either of those steps built into the routine? Do they have a standard practice?
You're right, it will be more difficult than it appears at first glance. In my experience, this is true with every non-trivial endeavor*.
It's also inevitable. I don't think the issues you've raised will be major impediments. If there are any, and there always are, it will be something else that hasn't yet occurred to anyone.
*even when you take into account Hofstader's Law (heh).
Unless somehow there were a weakness in Flash, and that page exploited it. I know, I know, it seems almost impossible to believe there'd be yet another Flash-based exploit.
For sufficiently small values of "most". A 1% daily move in a well-traded stock, while not uncommon, is nowhere near a 50% probability. If it were you could make a fortune in options.
1% in a minute? That's a pretty good annual return. But seriously, anybody fooled into buying by that tweet deserves losing a little cash. Had I seen it in time I'd have sold into it.
It's not adding energy, it's avoiding some of the loss. A chair does a similar thing. By using that you expend less energy than by having to maintain your balance by standing.
Well that depends, doesn't it? It comes down to what makes more sense. If the server-dependent games were free, in most cases that'd be better than paying a substantial price for the stand-alone game. And somewhere on the line between free and that price is the tipping point where one a better choice than the other.
Many people will choose to use a driverless cab instead of their own car for the commute
Yes, I think in urban areas it will become fairly rare for an individual to own a private car. There's little need. A taxi will always be nearby, and without the human salary will cost significantly less than it does today.
That wasn't a hoax. It's just that when they figured out how to reproduce it in the lab at a small fraction of the cost, spaghetti farming was no longer viable. That's the reason it's not seen today.

That's pretty cool. I take some issue with the "expertly" characterization of his swatting, though.

It's news for nerds, and this thread is full of 'em.
Surely you can see that that time could be quite useful and valuable in one way or another, even if you're not drawing a salary from it.
At that point you don't need the front seats, so they can be made smaller. You don't need glass everywhere, so they can be made stronger and safer. And the back seat cabin could be made extremely protective of its passengers.
I doubt there will be a need. It's too large of an improvement. He'll one day be saying "wow, this is really nice!"

I left a Monty Python sketch laying around here somewhere. Have you seen it? It must be nearby.
Thank goodness. I was trying to figure out what planet you might be on.
500? You'd need about 100,000 or so to equal an 8.
Attached to your face? I think I see the problem - you're holding it wrong.
It's odd that a "classic" example doesn't seem to actually exist. Got a source for that?
