There are what is known as bowling alley apartments (or shotgun apartments) because they are long and thin with only a couple of windows at either end. They are open plan and have the living room at one end, the kitchen in the middle and the bedroom at the other, on a mezzanine level above. Similar to this:
Some time ago, LA Times reported that kids weren't going to summer camp for the camping with backpacks and tents or hostel living, but for Yoga, inner meditation, and beauty therapy sessions. I wonder if the two are related.
Yes, there was that petty bickering, especially over things like splitting a newsgroup. Some readers of something like comp.sci.graphics would want to split into comp.sci.graphics.hpc, comp.sci.graphics.workstations and comp.sci.graphics.mobile, so that they only got their relevant discussions (hpc and workstations) and not the mobile stuff. But then there would be those that wanted to keep everything together because they wanted to share ideas. So a vote would be held. Announcements would be made to inform everyone of the deadline for voting. Then the vote would be held, closed, votes counted and the announcement of the vote made. It would create a lot of screaming if any company as much as informed the group of a new product or their booth at an exhibition due to the non-profit nature of DARPA.
It would be like having to hold a national election to decide whether or not you should be allowed to create your own blog. That led to the alt.* series of newsgroups which were "alternative" and if anyone wanted to create a newsgroup, they did so. If it ran out of membership, it disappeared, otherwise it survived.
I think she is complaining it's not possible to create an Internet startup like she used to be able to do so, because there's always someone out there who is already doing something in the Amazon marketplace or elsewhere. Railway tickets? Done. Airplane tickets? Done. Car hire? Done. Alternative to taxis? Done. Retro merchandise? Done. Discount fashion show throwaway items? Done. Second hand books? Done. Antiques? Done.
It's like academic research. What was once a hot research field topic, becomes one of a hundred books on that subject a decade later.
Brain damage is usually caused by burst capillaries. Which is due to high blood pressure. That's either the blood vessels being constricted, or the heart pumping at super high pressures. Alternatively, the water in the blood could have been cooked by microwaves, causing them to burst.
Beta radiation beam from a smoke detector? Presumably the diplomats were sleeping with their pillows next to the wall. So it would be something that was either in the bedframe, mattress, in or behind the wall.
Freeloader? Stream pirate? That last one makes me think of a little kids with a pirates hat, eye-patch and fake parrot playing on a raft made from old wooden crates.
Why place the transmitter/scanner right next to the diplomats bed? Wouldn't that be the place the diplomats keep a mobile phone at all times? The Russians used microwaves in conjunction with a RFID type activated microphone and membrane concealed inside a wooden carving.
If it were microwaves, he would have heard a crackling sound and his hair looking as if he was hit by static. That happened to people walking past Google's office in London.
There was a new industry sprouting up. People were being paid to write junk articles for fractions of a BitCoin (a bit like Amazon Turk where you had to write five paragraphs on a holiday in Hawaii using chosen words a selected number of times). People were starting to complain about all they were seeing were these articles.
If you consider that the global telephone system and internet is the largest distributed computer system in the world. Then you have virtual private networks that connect your own virtual machine (VMware) of Linux or Windows to cloud servers (virtual machines running on a real server) and configured using applications like Docker. Depending on your ISP, they are called anything from Bubbles to Droplets. Then you can run old PC, game consoles, and mainframe emulators on those virtual machines. Even a smartphone can emulate something like the Ultra 64.
The creative types and superstars *DO NOT WANT* standardized hours. They don't want a job where you *have* to get in at 9am and *have* to leave at 5pm. They want the flexibility to get in at 8am and leave at 4pm, or maybe drift in at 10am and work until 6pm. Or perhaps work 10 hours for four days and take three days off.
Chess AI players are able to consider the game any number of levels (or plays) ahead, even 20+, simply from a hash of the code values of each piece and it's location. That includes everything from aggressive to defensive moves. If there is one move that risks a loss ten moves ahead, while another doesn't, then it is obvious which move to make.
The most important for people living there are: 1. living somewhere where changing jobs in the same field doesn't require relocation across states. 2. good schools 3. low crime 4. a short commute
Sunnyvale is away from the street gangs of San Jose, same with places like Milpitas.
They already have automatic speed traps using dopper radar. Others use mean time to travel between two points. If the two stations are a mile apart, the speed limit is 60 miles hour, then if you cross between those two points in less than a minute, you must have been speeding.
The AI systems are "trained". They can only reproduce the expertise by someone who provides the training data sets. You can show the system pictures of cars, trains and bicycles, with the desired inputs and outputs, and it will reproduce that expertise. It won't know to create new categories for hovercraft and aircraft.
The problem in the past was that it required extra context switching between every daemon. Probably programmers would just get around this using shared memory for all the daemons rather than pipes and you are back to square one.
Sun did that with their servers. The UNIX vendors were in a bit of a pickle back then when CPU's starting going multi-core, because that messed up their pricing schemes. Did they sell a system with one CPU and a good few empty sockets, and have field engineers running back and forth every time somebody wanted their server upgraded - incurring overheads in powering down, powering up and resynching, or did they just bundle all the CPU's inside the server and just license the cores/CPU's per month with a new licence code?

Just call the telephone at the conference room, claim to be delivering pizza and don't hang up the phone.
It's bad enough with startup businesses offering helicopter tours of upmarket neighborhoods

Maybe there is some way of making sure the file can't be sent to the streaming distributor unless all the meta data is correct?
They started selling services and support of custom hardware.
