..the above is why the logical next step for drones is to apply AI expert systems and let them make their own decisions. It's the only way to overcome comms jamming/spoofing if you're not going to use radar seeking missiles to take out the ECM sites.
Better, in the sense that cost considerations aside, technically, it is superior almost every time.
In reality, your logic and communication bits should be abstracted anyway - isn't that the hallmark of good programming practice?..and even then there's performance tradeoffs.
You don't need to define intelligence. The encoding for it is in your DNA.. or your head. All we need is a way to emulate what is there, apply inputs, and observe how things react.

What is missing is a machine architecture to model existing intelligences on in a generic way..
I came from an academic family - my dad has a PhD in Genetics from a fancy New England university.
He made it very clear to me that selecting that route would be a life of poverty and to only do it if that was very clear in my head.. (this was in the 80's).
I have a BSc. in Electrical Engineering; it was the most practical way in and out of academia I could find that would leave me with a long-term credible degree. Multivariable complex calculus isn't getting any easier. My entire career I set aside my own time to spend networking with the public and private sector so I've got opportunities, and I've made sure to build a solid track record along the way.
If you've got a problem finding work, do you put as much effort into networking and working with people who risk capital as you do in the lab? Do you watch for trends in your field you can capitalize on? If you don't, you're headed for trouble.
Adding a small processor won't increase the BOM of a device like this relative to your phone. You're better off using your phone as either a document repository or a gateway to the cloud via tethered communications. I do that now.
I'd rather carry a phone and a tablet if I'm going to lug around yet another screen.
This makes as much sense as Facebook announcing they're going to build a PC.
Why on earth would you do such a thing?
Just an app? Facebook IS an app!
A tip for anyone from facebook who's watching - if you want to get into hardware, at least go make a enterprise applicance for people wanting to organize their companies - privately - around social media. Throw in some storage and then negotiate the tie-ins to the bigger infrastructure to keep the advertisers happy.
The principles of differential equations are also simple and there are many simple physical systems that can be used to demonstrate them in a way that is easy to grasp. Even by relatively young children.
The idea is not to confuse the understanding of principles with their applications, as those can be (and are) horribly complex.
Math is not hard. Math is very elegant and simple. Much like language, the same words that are in children's books also comprise the classics.
Who says anything about stuffing cash in a mattress?
You can buy gold. It's done well and hides even better, and has the added bonus of not burning, and at least for the time being, governments can't print any more.
Or better yet.. you can invest in a small company that makes and sells things. Or buy a piece of capital equipment and depreciate it against revenues.
Other than gathering data on connection times and destinations, frequencies, and statistical correlation techniques, I'd long assumed traditional wiretap is dead.
There's no deciding. There's just some new paperwork on my desk, as I describe to the legal staff what the far-reaching economic impacts of whatever it is I'm patenting.
In short, just about every patent will fit under this new proposed scheme.
If you don't want to benefit from patent protection, it's called a trade secret.
I live in a 110 year old house in the middle of a old city. Electric hot water, all costs considered, and much insulation later, is the cheapest way to go. Unlike most I bought an old house, paid for it, fixed it, and that's that.
FWIW I live in Canada, and Hydro is very cheap (relative to alternatives). The only alternative is diesel oil.
I heat my house with electricity. Power from idle devices offsets the load from heating - two orders of magnitude higher than idle draws in the very cold months. My home rack puts out enough heat to keep my office comfortable all winter, and I power down in summer, as I'm out doing things. No AC here. I've looked at doing things like having a small greenhouse indoors, etc - the base heat I'm paying for is good electricity turned directly into heat.
Of course, if you have AC, then you pay double - once for the heat generation from waste, and again to remove it.

Go with a anonymizing VPN in another jurisdiction, and send a big fuck you to the snooping crew.
I recommend/use IPredator but there are others. (I am not affiliated)
Effectively renders all of these measures moot and gives you a great defense if someone raises a flag.

I welcome our new drove overlords.
New here?

Write it all in assembly and get off my lawn. :)
Native code is _always_ better.

No, but OOG was by with the open source club.
It's not looking good.
I submit those reasons are exactly why MS made this move, at this time.
OEMs have alternatives now.. and customers don't care what OS their devices run. They just want them to work.
Who's tagline was that again?

Sage words.
It's not the apps.

Not seeing the appeal here..
Dell has 30" 2560x1600 monitors for $1400 and frequently on sale for less.
If you're a professional, you should have no problem affording and/or justifying that expense for the gain in productivity.
More resolution is great, and I'm sure it's in the works, but there are alternatives to the 1080 crap monitors out there.
This makes as much sense as Facebook announcing they're going to build a PC.

But a phone? Seriously?

Concepts of mathematics (calculus) are actually very simple.
Most confuse the trivia of solving problems (knowing many rules) and how to apply them with understanding of basic mathematical principles.
Teach your kid about 'x' and abstract thinking in relation to rates of change. The rest follows quite naturally. (IMO).

The free market is great. It's just not easy.
How does Skype deal with this anyway?
Other than gathering data on connection times and destinations, frequencies, and statistical correlation techniques, I'd long assumed traditional wiretap is dead.
Am I incorrect?

Laws like this are the defacto end of cloud computing if you have an obligation to protect your data.
Or rather.. and end to it in the USA.

I can't say I've ever had an enjoyable conference with their gear. I remember some epic fails.
Google and others have better FREE alternatives. Use them!
Sounds like a description of drug prohibition. :)
I've tried for 10 years to find a replacement for engineering paper and a pencil.
Hasn't happened yet. I will pay serious money for an alternative. The ipad is great but input is very low resolution.
8.5x11" e-ink with retina resolution input is needed. It'll be awhile.
In the mean time.. I still buy a box of engineering paper from the university bookstore every year.
