Right, but dropping your usual comedy A+ "lets go live on mars, just kidding, I fooled you, space nutters suck!" routine, what do you actually believe won't be helped by faster, smaller computers? Do you think true AI isn't possible, or just the time frame is wrong? (Which it always is) Just curious because you always pop up in these types of discussions, so you obviously care enough to post.
Well its in C++, which is basically invented yesterday. What a fad -- I guess just a big ol' bunch of script kiddies doing typical WEB STACK bullshit, amirite???
That's stupid. "Worth" is determined by the market. It wasn't "worth" 20 trillion in the first place. And "worth" decreases or increases with time, with scarcity, etc. Its not just the sticker price.
No, they demonstrated that the conspiracy theorists claims that the photograph was fake because there wasn't enough illumination given the position of the sun and lunar module are incorrect. The additional "light source" is the reflection off Armstrong's suit, and not some sound stage. The claim is "there's no possible way this could have happened", and they showed one plausible way, thus negating the assertion.
Most banks can already notify you by text. I have all my cards set up this way - any activity (charge, check, atm, anything) tosses a text to my phone. Most of the time if its run through one of those terminals I'll get the text in under 5s. Any payment I don't recognize I can instantly call the card company about, so there's no need to wait for a statement, you can do it in real time.
Most taxi services have an "anti-serial killer" clause in their contracts. If you are a serial killer, they won't hire you. This is accomplished by swearing on the job application form that you are, in fact, NOT a serial killer. If they find out later on that you ARE a serial killer, they will terminate the contract and you will no longer be able to drive the cab, thus keeping the taxi industry 100% serial killer free. As far as I know, niether Lyft nor Uber have taken any steps whatsoever to prevent serial killers from working for them, which means that as a rider you have no idea if your driver is going to murder you, after having already murdered someone else. (It takes more than one murder to be a serial killer).
I love the thought as much as the next guy, but there's some serious stuff we'll have to get used to. Like not being able to control when our car gets maintenance. Otherwise if you ignore that break warning and your car smashes in to the back of someone else on the way to the airport you're still got responsibility. Liability laws aren't going to go away just because the cars are autonomous. My furnace is "autonomous" because it exists while I'm not there, but I'm still liable if it explodes and catches the neighbors house on fire. Liability insurance is going nowhere with this stuff.
Its not security via obscurity because the real security doesn't rely on the lack of 8" floppies. The real protection is a) not being hooked up to the internet, b) lots of doors & guys with weapons standing between you and the control station. But I guess if some airforce commander throws a few bones to a dumb journalist and has a laugh about it back at the club with the boys, is that obscuring the real security?
I've played both and I'm actually partial to the XOne version. The game "feels" better designed for a game pad vs mouse/keyboard, and it has the pacing that's better suited to relaxing on the couch. WIth the titans, the fast twitch you get with the mouse isn't as big a deal, and the wall running stuff lend's itself better to a controller situation. I think a lot of FPS stuff fails to translate to console, but some of them can be quite good if the dev's think about it beyond "right stick == mouse look".
You're talking like half of that is a manual process (authenticate against the server? You mean click "I accept the ToS"?). The most folks ever do is download a newer graphics driver. That's a maybe, and the game will probably still run even if you don't do that. And most of the time the driver just downloads when you plug in the USB port. Your one button joystick may not have needed a driver, but your sound card certainly did. Forget about adding that throttle.
Uninstall those rose colored glasses bro, clicking "launch" on steam is far far easier than gaming in the DOS era ever was.
Totally. I know most of the games today require you to edit a special autoexec.bat, install drivers, himem, etc. just to get to the damn title screen. Not like the old days when you just installed them and ran.
Wait, I'm confused. Are you talking about gameplay?
Not sure why you got modded troll, you speaketh the truth, and from a place of honesty at least. I had a buddy that came into town and crashed with me that rode to work every day. He legitimately thought you didn't pay going downtown, only back when had to go through a turnstile. That's how lax the enforcement is/was.
Of course, in the past two years (more?) they now have the "enforcement mob" of twenty or so dudes in orange vests waiting with a cop to hand out tickets. They go to different stops every day so a 100% evade rate is probably more unlikely now.
No they don't, but you can use it within SF in conjunction with the local pass. They do have a bulk discount ticket at 6.25% and that in turn can be paid for with a pre-tax account, so if you're a frequent rider any edge (20% _might_ be ok) is erased. That and you're likely to be using a card, not a ticket, with an attached value. I guess if you wanted to wait at a machine every day to get the ticket, then find someone to swap with you could make something happen and save a few percent, which maybe gets you to a few tens of dollars a year.
This is a cool exercise in theory, but I don't think anyone is about to start doing this.
And correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the UI go through a major revision 6-7 years ago - what we're now calling/. classic? An lo there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth! But now its apparently perfect and has ALWAYS been the UI. Fantastic.
But please, continue with the 'revolt' - everyone is leaving to go to Kuro5hin anyways!
Why does it have to be gas stations? If they're really serious, have every McDonalds & Walmart install 3-4 charging stations at their stores. Then you at least have a place to sit or something to do for the half hour the super charger takes. Its not like you specifically have to be a gas station with all the associated hardware to install these things, its much much simpler than burying a giant tank and coming up to code and all that.
No I understand it I assure you. Again, why would you want to block the airplane sound coming in but not going out? Is there a specific reason you'd need to not hear the engines but hear what's going on outside form within the engine? Or from outside the cockpit but not vice versa? Neither of those are a good reason. And there's no way a sound damper wall or insulating material is more expensive than something filled with tiny fans.
Music studios yes, but why would airplanes want to transmit sound from inside to outside, or vice-versa? Same with motorways. You definitely want to block traffic noise from adjacent buildings, but why would you care that folks in the cars can hear whats coming from the buildings? Just block it all.

Said no one ever, except a certain straw stuffed fellow on his way to Oz.
BTW, can you clarify which ones you think are impossible and which ones you think are possible without faster computers?

Launch more instances?

But...but...I have a hammer. I KNOW how to use a hammer. A hammer is the best! FUCK YOU SCREW! TAKE THAT SCREW! Job complete!

I'm pretty sure Cousin It drove one in the Adam's Family movie.

So yeah, this is a good thing.
I have a feeling your sample set is pretty small.

LOL don't forget Clippy! "I see you're attempting to launch a thermonuclear warhead. Would you like me to check those coordinates?"

If you have to ask, you weren't going to buy one anyways.

Guess what, even your gas powered car is still drawing battery power when "off".
