The U.S. most certainly already has a store of nuclear tipped rockets meant for leaving Earth orbit precisely for this threat. Most people don't understand that this is what fundamentally differentiates us from all other living organisms in history and all our previous generations - we are are aware of and are able to defend ourselves against asteroids and comets, which are able to end entire biospheres and everything in it.
No you shouldn't reject it because it was written by two women, because even if it was one man and one woman, that no longer captures the spectrum of gender these days. There is no way to get a "representative" slice of gender because there are gender-neutral people, transgender, and polygender, and all the shades in-between. Also one could make the case that a gay or bisexual member of a gender would have a relevantly different viewpoint that needs to be included. So, accept the paper, and evaluate it for yourself on a case-by-case basis whether there is bias due to whatever gender group submitted it.
I ran this on my microcontroller code, and it found all sorts of these errors in all my timer and counter code. Now I have to go patch it all before any of those overflows happen. Thanks MIT!
Unless they get a company like Halliburton to use them as a supplier, they'll never get any government contracts, because they simply lack the capacity and infrastructure to be able to respond to a natural disaster.
...is no physical memory, at all. The processor is simply as wide as necessary, so if your program and data is 100 megabytes large, then you need a 800 megabit processor, or a processor with 100 megabytes of register. Yes, thank you.
If you know how the image was blurred, and you know you should be looking at a picture of a face, isn't it straightforward enough to design a video filter algorithm that could come up with a few unique variables values to track? Maybe the trick here is how to do it quickly enough to process live video and track people in realtime with a standard desktop-class system?.
Isn't this kind of blatantly misleadingly titled, purporting to be about processor speeds in general, but actually is an advertisement for a new HP computer?
Alibaba has almost five times the sales of Amazon, and mostly from non-first world countries to boot. Amazon has no choice whatsoever if they want access to that market. Almost seems like it should be a monopoly concern though.
People are combining two different acts when going solar, a) getting off of fossil fuels, and b) generating their own power that the big energy companies don't control. Energy companies are not necessarily against a), but b) is anathema to them, and therefore they are doing everything they can to block the adoption of solar. In my opinion, the primary goal of going solar is to curb the effects of climate change. Comparatively I don't really care if I'm grid-independent or able to sell my excess power back, etc. Therefore this got me thinking, and I was shocked to have this very pro-utility conclusion: I would be happy if legislation was passed that outlawed individual ownership of personal solar installations, and mandated big utilities to install, operate, and maintain them instead. I would continue sending a check each month as I have been for my power like before, and my bill might even go up 10-30%.
I decided I would tolerate this because utilities would stop blocking solar and go ahead and install it on every roof in America. They wouldn't go bankrupt as the need for fossil fuels waned, and I wouldn't have to worry about the solar panels on my roof. We would meet and exceed any goals for carbon reduction in a matter of years, and with no big utilities going bankrupt. I honestly would be all for it, let the utilities continue to control me, we've got to address climate change NOW.
I was just going to patent combo taco trucks and 3D printing trucks. First the printer makes you a chicken burrito with guacamole, and then prints out Elon Musk's latest rocket nozzle in titanium. That's an invention worth patenting like Amazon's, right, right???

I do not believe that anything they found out required this elaborate effort at Big Data. I'm sure employees have recommended every single thing, they just didn't listen because they didn't pay tens of millions and get it out of this magical god of big data technology.
That would be quite a feeling, to have total control over a _million_ computers. I can't even fathom it.
All I can think of is that we'll soon be finding aliens because I'd make them all burn SETI@Home at full tilt. That many FFTs at once would become a world record that would never be broken.
It's forbidden by the laws of physics for our three dimensions of space, but science thinks there may be more than _eleven_ dimensions of spacetime. We really have no idea what loopholes could exist that an alien species could find and exploit to get around the speed of light. Look how much of physics we've figured out in 200 years. If they have a few millennia on us, they might be able to do all sorts of things that would seem like complete magic to us, but would just be physics we don't understand yet.
That's why I think just do away with everything except cruise missiles. If we could get the cost of those down 10x-50x, we could just buy an endless supply of them and just fire them at will at anywhere on the globe continually until an area is quelled.
Your response leads totally into something I have been thinking. If I were President, I would immediately launch a program dedicated to reducing the cost of cruise missiles by 10-50x, based on the idea we would buy 1000x more of them. This way, anywhere on the globe, if there is a problem we need to intervene about, just push a button, and a solution of cruise missiles will be delivered in 30 minutes or less, with enough numbers that we could overwhelm any sort of ground defenses the enemy may have. If we had enough numbers that could continually deliver cruise missiles to a target, they would have no opportunity to regroup, and we simply continue until they collapse or surrender.
With all the talk of "big data" and simulations, eventually there will be no more war because we will anticipate and detect anything the "enemy" may do and have programmed countermeasures in place, lending a deterrent to doing anything in the first place. If any skirmishes do occur, they will be far away from both parties and consist of autonomous or remote controlled drones firing at each other. Perhaps war is becoming more humane?
The government keeps calculating bigger and bigger new prime numbers for them, with all their fleet of classified quantum computers, and as we all know, mathematicians derive stimulation from primes. Many can't get up in the morning without a Mersenne or two. So really the NSA is just a big drug dealer, enslaving our poor mathematicians who just can't get enough of indivisibility. If you've never seen a thousand digit prime disappear up a rolled-up $100 bill into the eager nose of a cryptologist, you haven't lived.

Mr. Curtis, the entire point of your website was to steer young kids to your paid porn websites. Aren't you ashamed?

That's where Assange is going for sure. They can get him on a few different federal charges now.
Then why did it just develop? If it's just geology, it should have been there since the Aztecs.

Good article bro.

Clearly the reason these patients died is because the "Ronald Reagen" medical center used too "conservative" an approach to their treatment.

Why dont they just support multiple cables to one monitor for the higher bitrates?
