When I drive my Ampera (German Opel badged version of the Chevrolet Volt) in Germany people slow down their cars to look at it. Tiny Holland has twice as many EV's as the big neighbor Germany.
AFAIK co2 isn't bad in itself. Without co2 we'd have much more serious problems than we have now.
The point is that the co2 equilibrium is disturbed by the fact that man dig or pumps up fossil fuels that have been stored for millions of years thereby adding co2 to the atmosphere.
Burning wood, rotting vegetation, farting animals and bubbling reservoirs are part of the co2 balance already so are not the cause of the current problem.
(This is how I understand it which - admittedly - isn't saying much)
I don't know really, but I think a business would normally be insured against damage from fires or explosions, but probably not against extortion damage.
So perhaps the choice to let the FBI guys have a try was actually a sound business decision;-)
A virtually tamper-proof bomb used to extort $3 million from a casino. It could not be moved. The FBI tried to disable it with a shaped charge but failed and blew up the hotel.
"It's TIOBE, and how should NASA releasing some code skew the search results for "assembly programming"?"
Sorry, I'm wearing my contacts;-)
Anyway, the Apollo source is in assembly code. Quite a bit of it in fact and it's popular, thousands of people starred it in a short period in Github.
So what if TIOBE sees a large increase in lines of assembly on Github and thousands of stars and oncludes that assembly language is making a huge come back?
(I don't know how TIOBE calculates its results, but there must be some reasonable explanation. I do a lot in IoT and I see absolutely no signs of assembly language suddenly becoming more popular)
You always get better results in assembly, but the cost is usually prohibitive. I think THOBE is just wrong here, look at my other post for an explanation.
Perhaps THOBE is mistaking the fact the NASA put up the full assembly code for the Apollo 11 guidance computer on Github and the interest in that (6000+ stars) for a revival of the language instead of a historical artefact.
Check it out here and don't forget to start it, together we can confuse THOBE and make Assembly the #1 language of the world again!;-)
Cool! Do you think it's just as infallible as their 'Maps' navigation system? Cause that would've killed me if I'd followed it blindly.
And do you think it's more reliable than their Android phone OS? Cause that regularly spontaneously reboots on me. I wonder how that would look on the highway...
If they can make good enough technology to drive you around safely, why can't they get the simple things right?
If I understand correctly he was an enthousiastic early adopter, putting youtube videos up that showed how well the computer in his Tesla did. He was probably reading a book or something just to show off his smart car.
"so we'll only have perfect records when we get rid of all the drivers and have all the cars on autopilot."
And all the cyclists and all the children and all the senior citizens and all the animals....
Basically the only way to get perfect records is to create roads that are dedicated to driverless cars. Then a very complicated problem suddenly becomes fairly easy to solve.
Voice recognition in hardware? I call bullshit on that one.
Perhaps it's a low power subsystem, but coding voice recognition in hardware sounds incredible to me. Do they have different chips for differen languages?
I swear Google have an employee (not an AI) who keeps a list of all this little tidbits and releases them to the press every few weeks or so. Just to keep the project in the papers.
And all the media just obediently paste them into the headline fied...:(
I have a Smart TV and I only ever use it as a monitor for my Android box.
But stil, eliminating boxes is a worth while undertaking, so let some standards organization decide upon a plugin cartridge format that we can use to extend our dumb TV's. The TV provides power, standard remote signals and a HDMI-like connection. The cartridge has either an ethernet or usb connector or an antenna connector.
The TV as an old fashioned motherboard, or wait, as a blade server. That sounds more modern.
So we have this big bang which creates a huge amount of energy. This energy converts to matter in the form of hydrogen. The hydrogen sticks in big clumps which react to form different atoms. The different atoms stick together to form planets. The atoms stick together and organize themselves to form life. Life organizes to form intelligence. Intelligence sticks more atoms together to organize more intelligence.
It seems to me this is just the way things go with big bangs. Intelligence is probably just about inevitable.

Mod parent down before he gives anybody any ideas. :(
Well, I'm glad at least some people got it. ;-)

This 'law' is just wishful thinking.
Does anyone else find it worrying that the parent was voted 'interesting' instead of 'funny'?
I'll build as many rogue devices as they need for that price!
Thanks for the clarification.

I can say from experience that go-karts work very well too. Just bump into each other a lot.

I'm afaraid that's pretty much Evernote you're describing. Feature 6 you can somewhat do. Option 9: not all notes. Option 10 would be a nice one.

You can buy this ESP8266 instead for $2, it has wifi and more memory:

The key question is: how early? Is it 'early enough'?
If it's early enough often enough they deserve a lot more than a measly 100K.
Lung cancer is almost always deadly.

Ask them what those millennials think of 'Economic freedom' and I predict you'll see very different percentages.
When are we going to stop calling the opposite of a state led economy as 'capitalism'?
It's a term coined by socialists for Pete's sake!
