And most programmers are whitr male nerds. Fat nerds. This suggests discrimination against them from early childhood by the basketball-playing types, and rejection by the penis-less-types, leading to introversion and a douing down on finding nerdy stuff cool and worthy of massive intellectual investment.
Fuck u basketball and penis-less types! Rot in Helllllllllll!!!!!1!11!!211
From Article II of the Nixon Articles of Impeachment:
1. He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.
And a few bullet points later, using the machinery of government to corrupt investigations.
I knew this whole thing stunk when she plead the 5th -- either she had crimes to hide, or she was innocent and deciding "not to participate in their political game", said use of the 5th thus being a crime itself.
It's the DVR people want. Nowadays they have 6 tuners so you can record 6 shows. That's a lot of CPU going on, though why it isn't an asic I don't know. (Is it?)
Many boxes never shut down because people don't turn them off at night. Decoding and decoding and decoding...
Detroit Metro airport had a large, on-site long-term parking lot. There are also 5-6 offsite private lots.
The government lot charged a lot, and were losing so much business to yhe private lots (in spite of a big location and shuttle time advantage) they slapped a 30% tax on private lots.
They also made it illegal for airport hotels to let overnight guests leave cars in their lots while away (outstate people frequently drove in the night before a flight).
This is why I loathe the evils of government. Little if anything is done with the purity of warm heart in the beating chests of True Believers.
If a person is 6' tall, assume they are male and you will be right 99% of the time. If the government does something, assume the stated reason is not the real reason, and you will be right 99% of the time.
I'd worry about metals and other trace elements lightly poisoning the plants. Meteorites and other airless worlds have not had water scrubbing the rocks for eons, washing things out, much less plants and bacteria growing there and sapping it millions of times over prior to your lil' cute vegetable garden making an appearance.
Reports of the Tea Party's death are greatly exaggerated.
My only qualm is it's been hijacked well beyond its initial namesake cause of shrinking the bloated spending into almost every old Republican grievance.
"Well, cancelling our programs to save billions better-spent, votewise, on social programs, and paying Rooskies to ferry us up there to build goodwill and keep their scientists and engineers employed in non-terrorist jobs seemed like a good idea at the time."
Opera mini on my phone currently. Will see if full Chrome on PC at home has same issues. Did they just "flip the switch" for everyone? I was using classic exclusively but can't seem to find a way to get to it anymore.
Moreover the Turing Test isn't really a "true AI is here" filter so much as a philosophical musing along the lines of the Chinese room or Searle's buckets and waterspouts.
Working backwards, philosophers have long wondered how you could prove to me you are truly a conscious, intelligent entity, as opposed to a (still theoretical) non-conscious machine, be it a complex calculating computer or giant set of scripts and lookup tables.
Answer: no way to tell but a statistical test looking for deviance from how a "real" human would behave.
For now, anyway, until we get a handle on how consciousness arises from physical matter and energy as a real, physical phenomenon.
I can see a time when they set up devices to triangulate so they can record where in the store you go too.
That would be very valuable info (in aggregate) because stores nowadays analyze display layouts and so on and experiment with these things to see what's successful, then roll it out to all stores.
Walmart was a pioneer in this, but this kind of tracking would computerize it.
I work in the embedded world, and the ability to find four major issues ***in seconds of use*** indicates a profound incompetency on the part of the programmers of this site.
Usability testing?
Test planning for features?
Obviously did not have any tests done and written by people who don't know the implementation because that is a known vector for bugs to get by the programmer?
- I checked "disable ads" because I have high karma, but it doesn't disable them. I turn it on and off, nothing.
- I only see 5 messages here, a score 3, a score 2, and a score 1, and the score 1 has two score 1's nested under it
- I expand the score 1 and it shows, then I collapse it and it's two child ones contract into "2 hidden comments" line
Other threads are like this -- one only showed me +5s (regardless of how I dragged the sliders and reloaded and prayed and wept like George Bailey on VE day)
I click "Load all", and it does nothing. I click it again and 400+ messages (other thread) all appear, ALL messages. Which is fine and working properly, I suppose, but what happened to the normal 2-3 level depth I've been seeing for years?
This. However much he may invest in fast-charge, there may be little value in keeping it to his own company. While "we charge much faster" is a great selling point, the industry is new and not old. He needs his version of gas stations up the wazoo and ofloading construction on other manufacturers or third parties (thinking to support a larger multimarket) is in his interests.
Patents are to protect investments from interlopers. Nothing says you can't give it out for cheap or free for reasons good or stupid.
Not saying this applies here, but I recall a scandalously dishonest CNN article trumpeting rising oceans and a tiny ocean nation about to sink beneath. In the fine print they point out the island is sinking and not the ocean rising (or the sinking rate is magnitudes faster anyway). The headline though...scary warming!

The IRS just entered Richard Nixon territory.
The CDC already is aware -- we're patient zero.

The McDonald's attracted the military base, not the other way around.

As a principle, government should not pick winners and losers. This is a free country and whoever wants to try to start any business has a right to.
Regulations are fine for safety and similar things, but the government has no business limiting entry to a select few.

I weep on the day such a thing occurs and people can no longer vote with their feet to flee oppressive or confiscatory tax rates.
You may know them by their nom de du gerre, "their fair share".
Not true. They've known for decades you only need an oxygen mask and a good winter coat -- no space suit required.

IANAL but doesn't the NSA just concede the data proves the plaintiff's point?
After all, no heads will roll and the payout ain't their money anyway, so who cares?
My real concern is what the hell other gems might be hidden in it that they really don't want known such that they're also ready to go this route.

I went to godaddy.com to see what the heck they do anyway, but I just got a spam page saying godaddy.com was up for sale and did I like to buy it?

Unless... BBCode never worked here and it's been html all along.
