well that really gets at the heart of the matter doesn't it? SpaceX is going to Mars, with or without NASA. Boeing is doing whatever somebody pays it to do.
Simply ask for permission without disclosing the nature of the study or the objectives.
Of course, nobody can be expected to use a free single-provider service and honestly agree to the terms of such use without fraudulently agreeing to a contract they have no intention of adhering to. Facebook is a human entitlement at this point, like water in Detroit. The courts should create an obligation on the part of the Facebook employees (enforced by the gun squad of the Marshal's Office) to provide that service to people, under whatever terms a random judge things sound good. That is, after all, the intent of democracy.
the primary point of CM is current OS support for "old" hardware - 18 month old gear abandoned by it's manufacturer. But even CM rarely extends beyond 3 yrs - I'd love to see a nonprofit that could keep up CM ports and see non-smartphone users get some of the social benefits without a huge monthly installment payment.
Facebook's most practical approach would be to punt to the courts. Would the courts allow "God's Fag Killing Machine" as a name change? That kid who was taken away from his parents for being named "Adolph Hitler [smith-or-whatever]" will be old enough to sign up for a Facebook account in a few years.
The bind they're in is that by not adhering to the legal regime, they're having to make judgment calls - so far they can sit on their terms of service and tell those who are offended by everything to take a walk, but just watch some court tell them people have a right to a Facebook account, and then they'll be in a world of hurt (in many, many ways).
Cis is just a term cooked up to pressure people that are straight up men and women to be forced to adhere to a pretty restrictive set of gender restrictions
That's a good point, despite the tone posting AC has given to your comments. I know people who are "mostly straight" - forcing them into a particular mold helps nobody other than the sexuality-OCD.
Also, I can't help but think of organic chemistry when people use these terms, but it's entirely the wrong kind of organic chemistry. IIRC there's no way to double-bond the identifying groups on a cis isomer, so even the weak-linkage arguments would fail as a metaphor.
Those who fail to understand history are doomed to repeat it....even if they have to force it down our throats.
Holder doesn't fail to understand it - he and his ilk are back for Round 2. They will persist until the liberty is removed, however many rounds that takes. Then they will move on to the next liberty that still stands. If they can't win at the Federal level, they will get it done at the State level (e.g. California's back door requirements for cell phones).
That's how government works; I guess your point is well-supported by the history after all.

What? Who says things like that? Is there even any semantic meaning in context of the issue? </aside>
My understanding, especially from friends still-on-the-inside (of clinical information systems), is that EPIC's main product is a SEP field.
I used to work on what was once hailed as a model clinical information system, but it was killed by beancounter CIO-types, angling for bonuses on unspent budgets, and eventually they were replaced by the clinicians who just wanted something where they felt they could get features and reliability (internal requests for such were almost always turned down by management because of perverse incentives).
Not being qualified to make technical decisions, [as I understand it] the clinicians went for big & popular, as it was felt that at least that stood a good chance of being decent. But more importantly, the internal bureaucrats were always angling for budgets and lawyers while the outside vendor is able to offer relief from all of that for merely a mountain of money. Clinical functionality is somewhere down the list in terms of required features.
Metropolis was all about the imagery. No matter how good this Tetris movie is or is not, it'll all be about the fifteen minutes before - filling the theatre seats is going to be great fun!
Everybody knows that if you grow most of your own food on a 1/4 acre of yard, it's much worse for the environment than if you hire a company to maintain a pristine lawn there and drive down to the Whole Foods in your SUV to buy produce flown in from Chile.
Obvious downside: fossil fuel use to get water where it is most useful may exacerbate the problem over time.
We know just fine how to build nuclear-powered ocean vessels. Maybe Congress can give the corporate welfare to the MIC to build iceberg haulers instead of battleships.
Since we're on the subject, does anybody know how to calculate the centripetal and gravity effects of a long-range tunnel bored through the earth's crust? I suspect there must be a maximum achievable tunnel length but also maybe the rotation of the Earth could be used for pumping energy, depending on direction.
It might just be easier, though, to warm to environment and have some of Antartica melt again, and re-humidify the atmosphere. People cannot seem to wrap their heads around the ice sheets, but if you told them there was a hole bigger than the United States filled with 500 feet of fresh water that was locked away from the atmosphere - that they could get. Even fewer can understand that the oceans have risen 120m in the past 20,000 years - geologists aren't welcome in the mainstream (pundits won't even accept those graphs in the IPCC reports).
All the water that used to be in the Aral Sea, had to go somewhere. Today it is in the oceans, raising global sea levels by several millimeters.
I can see not reading the article, it is Slashdot, but to jump to comment before even the second paragraph of the summary... that just leads to embarrassment.
Sorry but if you can afford a Tesla you ARE on the fringe!
Not really. We had a 2005 Pontiac minivan. Between acquisition cost, gasoline, repairs (and repairs and repairs), and depreciation, it cost us $50,000 over three and a half years, and that was before the inflationary boom when steak was half the current price.. We had to unload it due to the gas and repair costs and ate it so hard on the depreciation.
The Tesla is slightly more expensive than that, and that was aimed squarely at a typical young American family. The 10-year cost on a Tesla model S is going to be a lot cheaper, not to mention the model 3. It's simply a matter of financing.
when the US petrodollar is completely decoupled from oil it loses about 5/6ths of its value intrinsically. The subsequent run on the currency could be an order of magnitude higher. Putin knows this and so do the Chinese but don't look to the Chinese to suddenly weeken its largest single purchasing market. The IMF will likely try to float SDRs to replace FRNs as the world currency but Russia and China stand to gain little by supporting it. Don't keep your long term wealth in current financial instruments.
To be fair, perl had these problems in the early 90's and "taint mode " was introduced to protect against them and unforseen future variations on them. I seem to recall a release of PHP in the past couple years has adopted some of the same techniques. Bash folks won't be able to achieve a great result over a weekend. That we're here two decades later tells you most of what you need to know about the appropriateness of selecting bash for this kind of work.
If there's a single systemic problem with HTTPS, it's that we're still largely relying on Certificate Authorities which charge a lot of money. The expense and complexity discourages people from using SSL more ubiquitously.
I don't think that's really it - I can get as many commercial-grade SSL certs for 7 bucks as I want. I got a couple at Namecheap for $2 when they were running a special. That's a large coffee at McDonald's. I've purchased 5-year wildcards for $150.
How cheap does it need to be to be usable? For most people setting up a CA takes more time than $7 is worth.
If there's an immediate problem, it's the default root stores. Why would I trust the US DoD to sign certs for Google, or, heck, even my own mail server? A default install of most browsers and OS's will. Oh, but we should be afraid of the NSA exploiting heartbleed? Heh, ceilingcat don't need no protocol exploits.
Does this mean the open source release of Xen doesn't have the diff applied? Do customers of large corporate clouds now have a security advantage over other users?
However, I could still easily tell that these were not real world images.
I was thinking they weren't blurry enough. The camera pans should have depth-dependent motion blur compensation to make the look more convincing. Since they have the 3D model, this is simply a matter of having the time to program the algorithm - all the parts are well-known. They'll be hearing from Hollywood when they get that and perhaps a bit more accurate lighting (but, hey, throw the thing on a tracing farm for Hollywood money). We're probably not too far from principle location photography consisting of a small crew with a.1mm laser scanner for blockbuster-level movies. Even with the cost of the render farm, it's still cheaper than housing hundreds of people for weeks or months. All the data in this video says we're only 7 Moore's doublings away from realtime photoreal, which is pretty darn amazing.
While the narrator is talking about a thousand artists on a game, I don't think he's implying that this technology replaces them all. If somebody needs the chandelier in the cathedral to swing ('cause Nightcrawler just ported onto it e.g.) then they will still need modelers to handle all the mechanics. But I bet this tech saves them a bunch of time on modeling and texturing. They can either do with fewer artists (the crawls at the end of blockbusters are insanely long) or the existing number of artists can do more amazing things.
I'd still rather see five fewer modelers and one more great writer, though.

nature is so much worth than farming.
So stop eating farmed food. Or stop being a hypocrite - either would be acceptable.

eh, the NFL will probably just headbutt the FCC in the bridge of the nose during a 'roid rage and forget about it next week.
I know many Catholics who don't believe in the literal transfiguration of the Eucharist and think the idea is rather grody.
Personally I don't accept any theology as coherent unless it can answer questions about the multiverse. :crickets:
Why would this be so hard? "Cheap hardware is more important to us than open hardware" would be sufficient.
"You have a choice: here they are." See? You have freedom so stop claiming otherwise!
