Doubtful. I've had technical discussions with Mr. Farid before. He was at the top of his game in the graphics field in the 90's (my stupid MBA boss rejected a great offer from him to work on our project - I was mortified). Since then he's become the top expert in validating image authenticity; in doing so he's developed unique and innovative approaches to the problems of extracting signals from noise.
In some ways, the idea of discriminating types of speech is along the same trajectory of the work he's done to date, if one abstracts the information theory from the graphics application. A broad class of work like that will have innumerable applications; I have my doubts about the value of this application, but if that's where the funding is, so much better for the science.
aside: it's cool that he's chairing the department now - when I was taking classes there the people who actually applied the science were looked down upon. The only fun people were the grad students and the rogue profs who advised them.:)
Most American women don't know anything about the history or the current market situation of diamonds. It's not very complicated to explain (audio). Go ahead and try - if your woman is interested then that's good. If she still wants a diamond afterwards, unless she's really specifically enthralled with the way the light reflects around inside the diamond (it's pretty impressive with a high quality gem), then perhaps it's best to move on. You don't really want to spend your whole life with a woman who values diamonds just for the price.
GP is right. Hitler was a failed painter before his circumstances changed. Give Trump some power and he'll vigorously exercise it without a second thought - all while considering himself virtuous for doing so.
How much CPU do you need? You can spend about $16 total on an older PogoPlug and little USB flash drive, put Arch on it, and run a tiny server. Works fine for a DNS backup or low-bandwidth Tor relay and will hardly dent your power bill.
They're not supposed to be realistic - the stories are allegories and the themed races represent one subset of humanity, represented as one subset of the races in the galaxy in the science fiction stories. From there the allegory procedes.
And who now thinks they've abandoned all capability before there's a non-aggression pact with the USG (which does not invade countries with nuclear capability)? It's not that history is predictable so much as humans respond to incentives.
$324M budget and this AC gets the user sentiment better than all the focus groups ever have.
MoFo will be a joke if they only wind up being a Firefox company - the grand vision roundly failed if several billion dollars couldn't even get a threaded/processed UI implemented for basically two desktop apps, e.g.. Remember when Firebird was the protest app against the extant leadership?
The Board could at least throw 10% of the budget at the evil-Kirk devs who would still be willing to go off and hoist the Jolly Roger and reestablish some competition inside Mozilla. While there are still options beyond liquidating the office furniture.
The original problem, IIRC, started with a Polish gravity wave experiment where they found noise signal below 10^-27 or so, when they shouldn't have seen one before the Plank length. It just so happened to be at the resolution no simulation would need to exceed and the detected noise matches up with a predicted signal from the Holographic model.
We'll see what they actuality report, but to your point, think in terms of hidden line removal rather than overclocking.

Why would someone eat something that contains almost no nourishment
To enjoy the pleasure of food without contributing as much to obesity? cf. the entire diet-foods industry.
That said, I've had some of these yam-like noodle products, and the ones I got tasted like hell and digested even worse. Hopefully a large dose of cellulose can fix that. I'd love to have some chee cheong fun with the majority of calories coming from the sauce and meats!
Your old OLED screens don't compare to modern OLED displays - they're at least two generations behind. And black bars? That's the controller, not the 'phosphors'. It could be that a certain OLED panel had a bad production run, but try to keep proper separation of concerns.
A 4-year-old GS3 AMOLED screen looks great compared to any iPhone screen produced today, and the newer ones are even better (I considered switching to a 'better' phone (circuit-board level) after running a GS4 for years, and just couldn't go back to LED). Apple is switching to better technology obviously (and good for them).
Most importantly, the iPhone OLED screen will last longer than security updates will be available for the device. Be a responsible netizen and recycle the thing in 2023. Or go with an open product instead to extend the safe lifetime of your purchase.
Yes, but trolling the readership is always good for selling ad impressions. I see lots of engineers here biting hard on the hook - maybe we have a less-clever caste.
Buy your gear from a quality vendor (e.g. Taiwanese OEM) and that's what you'll get. Require the cheap-crap vendors to not provide cheap crap? That's why we have options.
heh - you're right. They need to change the complaint to 'jurisdiction of origin'. Talking to the Feds about why the American cost-of-living is so damn high is a fool's errand though; they cannot prevail against Disney's power and influence no matter how good their case is on the merits.
It's simple misdirection - people are asking, "is Yahoo being a dick?" and Yahoo is answering, "it's perfectly legal." Which has nothing to do with the question but many people will fall for it because they [somehow, still, inexplicably, despite all evidence to the contrary] still equate legality with ethics.
n.b. It may be the users who are being the dicks, wanting something for nothing (#include malvertising.h), but that's not the question here.
We would then be a favorable place to have business
The regulations are atrocious too. A sane tax rate is only part of the picture.
It's OK, though - all the multinationals will soon be overseas companies and all the small businesses incorporated here will be hamstrung trying to compete uphill against their size, their tax advantage, and their regulatory advantage, and the fat cats and the DC politicians they own will all be perfectly content.

It doesn't matter if you give a shit - it only matters if you view ads and post comments. You've done your part for the day to encourage such stories.
But topically, there's a subset of IT where you're supposed to "understand" that you shouldn't ever expect to be a good father, spend meaningful time with your kids - "because you're in IT".

Of course, we are the ones with the resources to develop it, not them.
Were that it so - "we" strongly disincentivize new drug development by throwing $1B roadblocks in the way of new ones. Sure, it's to help the profits of the few big pharma corps that can fund it, but the real losers are real - people who track these things have the current FDA cost at net-balance 20 million avoidable deaths (and people say the Aztecs were barbaric). As always, attempts to impose control create chaos.
They certainly don't have the time or training to do any better.
That's not likely to change fast enough. Putting the funding into automated microassays and realtime manufacturing technologies might be the better option. We used to think that distance was a barrier but aerobots might be taking down those walls - a lab pickup or drug delivery can be a hundred miles out now, or pretty soon.

This is me not holding my breath for the yes-men
Seems right - the US cares about everybody getting corporate-provided insurance, not healthcare, so it only makes sense that the systems suport that.
The models where so-called insurance has been abandoned are where the costs are lower and the care level is higher.

You need either carbs or fat just to survive.
Or protein.
