This is the same PWC that theoretically audited AIG before they went belly up with the financial crash. They also "audited" JPMC and then was fined for basically not doing their job. Seriously, PWC is who you hire when you want to report results without actually doing an audit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Back when I worked in the financial sector building trading systems, I got to see "how the sausage is made." The deregulation started by Ronald Reagan lead to the financial melt down. That resulted in more than 80% of the people over 30 loosing 30-50% of their retirement fund/ 401K/ Pension. You know who did that to the middle class?
Both parties went along and unethical "economists" in the Ivy League schools were bought out. They paid for research claiming "regulation hampers innovation and that it was not necessary." Mr Greenspan went along with that horse poo and so did every mindless turd in congress. What did they care, they were being paid off and bought out. How many people from Bears Stern, JPMC and Wells Fargo went to jail? How many people being savings and loan failures went to jail? Of the dozens of people committing white collar crime, very few people went to jail. Those that did were offered up as sacrifices, while the real power players kept screwing the middle class. So yeah, there are corrupt people in congress, but it's short sighted and foolish to think it was Obama's fault.
It's the same as far left blaming donald for Tiki torch white supremacists. Those people were there before donald was elected and they will still be there after he is gone. I'm guessing you're just a lame Russian spambot or someone totally in denial. US voters like to think they're better than the rest of the world, but we're not. At the end of the day, our own hubris and ego makes us more vulnerable to propaganda and tampering. Half the country is so busy being manipulated they don't even realize the game of "divide and conquer" has been going on for decades.
Have you read the articles that clarify what Obama's team did. They did extensive phone calling and combined that with people that liked Obama's page. AFAIK, Obama's team didn't do what CA did, which is mine data from a person's entire social network. They just took the data of the person that gave them permission.
whether you like Obama or not, there is an important difference between what Obama's team did and what CA did. Both are creepy, while one is illegal. Propaganda is propaganda and any attempt by anyone to say "it's ok" is just denial. Just think about this for a second. In the last 3 presidential elections over 3 billion dollars was spent on freakin stupid ads. If that money was put towards veterans health care, education, or research, wouldn't the US be measurably better? Instead, that money went to some fat cat that owns a network station, because some rich billionaire needs more money to buy another supercar?
We get the government we deserve, when we fall for the stupid BS from both parties.
You're an idiot. If a person runs over someone, they will have to serve time for man slaughter or murder. If it was accidental, it's man involuntary slaughter. If a person purposely ran over a person, it's vehicular murder. If a person tried to avoid the person and wasn't at fault, ie the pedestrian attempted suicide, the driver of the vehicle doesn't have to go to jail.
Jobs did a lot of good things, but he also took away the ability to have folders on iOS. Just last night I was trying to organize photos, but in iOS 11 you still can't tag a photo. On MacOS you can tag photos once you've downloaded the photos. Last night I was screaming "Fuck job! I'm glad he is dead, son of a bitch. I just want to organize my photos into folder, but noooo Jobs decided he knows how to organize my data better."
Overall I like the simplicity of iOS, but there are certain things that annoy me to no end. For example, in files you can't make a folder unless you use iCloud. Fuck jobs. I don't trust the security of iCloud and don't want the risk of "cloud storage". On every other system I can make folder locally. It was jobs that decided no folders, even though every damn OS has the concept of folders.
If some jackass wants to blow money to mine, go ahead and buy a generator. We need to pass a law banning mining with electricity from the grid. As long as they aren't sucking resources from the national grid, they blow their money how ever they want.
Wow, so the same brain dead thinking that anything I don't like should die. There's this concept of living in harmony with nature and using old techniques to control pest issues. The reason this is needed is because of monoculture farming and large scale industrial agro farming techniques. Using less pesticide and herbicides doesn't mean mass starvation. Look at history of mass starvation and they were generally caused by drastic weather conditions. But hey, feel free to add two tablespoons of pesticide to your drink every day. I'm sure it will keep pests away from you. Have a great life.
I have plenty of female friends who have experience the same thing and they didn't report it because they knew the blame would be turned on them instead. In the 18 yrs of working in IT, I have seen men act like total freakin jackasses around women. I've also seen guys act like total gentlemen around female co-workers. One co-worker had to be lectured by the HR department for harassing women at work. His excuse was "I was just talking to them at their cube". A few of us called him out and told him "you're being a creep man, it's going to get you in trouble."
In his mind, he was just a "flirty" and out going guy. He also took yoga classes to hit on women. A few of us made fun of him, but he kept on doing it. Guys like that just don't get it and think it's ok to act like creeps with women.
That was just one case, I know of several more. I don't doubt her account of what happened.
What is it with some Tesla owners thinking the laws of physics and the courts somehow don't apply to them.
There's a correlation between a person's "dickhead factor" and their compliance with laws. The bigger the dickhead, the more they think "those laws don't apply to me."
The correlation between wealth and dickhead factor hasn't been definitely proven, but there seems to be higher level of dickheads in individuals worth several million and lots of "disposal income"
Anyone that follows the space knows that Google saw the same damn thing and made the right decision. Level 2 and 3 autonomous is dangerous and shouldn't be used. Elon made a tough situation for himself with the stupid hype cycle. Forcing him to release something that is clearly dangerous and as a result making roads less safe. When google saw what people did in their trials, they immediately shut it down and switched focus to full autonomous. What Tesla did is irresponsible because people will abuse it. It was never a question of "if people will or how many". It was always when and what's the consequences. Google saw that basically everyone abused the system and didn't pay attention. For all the good that Elon has done, releasing the feature prematurely isn't one of his best decisions.
Sure it looks great on synthetic benchmarks, but honestly speculative execution is just asking hackers "hey come and root me". I'm sure Intel could fix it, but it would take a hit on benchmarks. They really need to fix this, even though it will take a benchmark hit. For regular day-to-day stuff, I seriously doubt users would see noticeable difference.
No it couldn't, unless you are autistic. It refers to the bicycle. This is why there is no "AI". There is no intelligence if you need to spell out every detail to a computer.
So in other words, you claim to be able to read the author's mind. That "might" be true for 80% of the time, unless you're at a glass blower's convention or a hand-built bicycle convention. As a software engineer, experience has taught me to always question assumptions and try to clarify things that might be ambiguous. Even things that "appear" to "pretty obvious" often times isn't. The times where a project ran into issues, it was because people interpreted something one way and never bothered to clarify. But hey, maybe you're clairvoyant and always know exactly what everyone else means. I'm not clairvoyant and always try to understand things based on facts instead of assumptions.
It isn't unambiguous to normal people. That is the point, and that is the difference between intelligence and just following rules. You just proved his point.
Honestly that statement isn't true for all situations. Without the context, the pronoun "it" could refer to the window or store. If that sentence was in a paragraph about a girl that has dreamed of owning a bicycle shop, "it" probably refers to the store. If the girl was a stained-glass artist and the window has a stained glass border, it could be the window. The intelligent answer to that question isn't "it refers to the bicycle." A more intelligent response is "tell me more about the girl and the context." When people assume to know the answer without taking time to understand the context, that isn't a great sign of intelligence.
Clearly the person that wrote the sentence doesn't know how to write succinctly without ambiguity. Which sadly represents 80% of the US population. In my 18 years of experience in IT, 95% of the engineers write worse than that and don't realize their writing is shit.
A deep neural net won't be able to do shit with that sentence probably guess roughly the same as random. If we make it into a whole paragraph to provide more context, a DNN can improve the accuracy. But the root of the problem is that far too many people write like shit. What the Stanford test doesn't measure is comprehension, since the answer to each question is a sentence in the article. If we have something like this:
Mary is planning a touring trip with her cyclist friend jane. On her way to the market, she saw a bicycle in the store window and thought it was perfect for the tour. She wanted it."
If the answer is open ended, existing systems won't be able to consistently provide a good answer. The DNN has to comprehend Mary and Jane are close friends looking for an adventure and that Mary doesn't have the right bicycle. What Mary wants is an adventure with Jane and the bicycle is just the tool she needs to do it.
as a foodie, we'd need a pretty advanced robot to roll a very thin NY style pizza dough. Those little details matter to the final texture of a great slice of pizza. Given most people are fine with the big chain pizza, they won't care. From an engineering perspective, we still don't have the hardware equivalent to an expert pair of hands that have made thousands of pies. Those fingers know exactly where to push and how hard.
Rollers can produce a thin dough, but honestly it's not the same texture. When I use a roller to flatten the dough, the texture is different than using traditional technique. When you use the old fashion technique, the glutten fibers are pulled and produces a crisp pie.
There's always going to be a need for great pizza made by real chefs that know the craft. For a food court where you don't care and just need calories, robots are fine.
Good luck. Anyone that remembers the history of Telco's and the shit they've tried to pull since the 1950's will know, it won't change. For those of us that remember, way back in the 80's the Telco's laid fiber with government funding. When they were done, the government said they had to share the lines. The Telco's said "fuck americans and their tax dollars" and ripped out the fiber. So yeah the Telco's won't act like monopolistic assholes in Neverland. I remember seeing them rip up the damn street to lay fiber, only to rip up the street again 2 years later to rip out the fiber. Verizon and ATT will never change and deregulation hasn't helped the consumers one bit.
I've met enough "developers" like this guy. He feels superior to others and felt a need to teach others how to do it "correctly". Some of the smartest developers I've worked with in the last 18 years were people without CS/EE degrees. They also didn't fit his "mental model" of what constitutes a good developer. Just about every where I go, I ask myself "why aren't there more women, hispanics or blacks in IT?" The reason is the system has a built in bias against them. I hope he looses the lawsuit, because it has zero merit. For the record, I'm an asian male working in the IT field. The current system and culture works in my favor, but I don't believe it should stay that way. In fact I pray it doesn't. The reason is simple. There are a lot of brilliant people out there I haven't worked with and I look forward to learning from them. Every morning I wake up and say thanks for the privilege position I have. Every chance I get to speak up for those being exploited or beaten down by our clients, I do it through the proper channels. I don't spam the whole company, nor do I use inflammatory language like the freakin idiot google fired. I've seen plenty of CS/EE major shoot themselves in the foot and get fired.
That was clearly spoken by someone that writes "new" code and doesn't have to maintain other people's code:)
Anyone that does integration work and has to glue together a dozen different systems written in a variety of languages will lean towards strong typing. Most of my co-workers that start out favoring weak-typing or duck-typing quickly realize maintaining code written by multiple people in weak-typing is a nightmare. Especially in an enterprise environment where every project "should have been delivered two months back". Quality is at the bottom of the priorities and you get shit code. At least with strong-typing, there tends to be fewer errors and the shit smells slightly better. Not that it ever smells good, but slightly better is still better.
they know full well how it works. They're doing it on purpose because their corporate overlords demand it. But hey, the submitter is a jackass that fell for the head fake
Lol. If you look at the history of Telecomm, they consistently try to screw customers. Having worked in Telecomm, that is exactly how the top execs think. You could have tried a little harder to troll, that was pretty weak.
I agree with Linus in this specific case. Killing the kernel is not an acceptable practice because some program did something questionable. It's probably some shit code that did something bad or unintentional. If every time the kernel panicked and crashed, you better not surf the web. Some shitty flash ad will crash your kernel a few times a day.
