Like anyone believed the DPRK was sincere in their desire for a summit. If you're shocked by this you're naive. If you're touting this as a failure of President Trump's you're a political shill and haven't been paying attention of the last 20 years. Both Republicans and Democrats having been punting this football so it's outside of their court hoping the next administration will have to deal with the problem that is the DPRK.
Personally I think it's about time someone gave the DRPK the middle finger and cut them off before they inevitably cancel anyway.
Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage!". And no regime knows better on how to manipulate that stage than the DPRK. Personally, I think President Trump is the perfect candidate for playing these kinds of games with NK. He's cutting them off before they started. Now, of course, NK already has a contingency plan in place,I'm sure, and they'll come swinging (with words).
Well, I'm going to grab my popcorn and wait for their response.
You want to leave Stallman's humorous line in? Fine. It's a historical footnote for OSS. But let's not open the floodgates for every budding programmer with a funny bone to insert their brand of humor into each man page or programmer's manual.
When I open a manual of some sort I want to find answers and not be distracted by irrelevant material. What's next? ASCII Porn? "Don't censor me, man!"
"Pandora's box" and "Unintended Consequences" comes to mind. Let's keep it brief, on topic, and as professional as possible, shall we?
Until a couple of years ago I refused to be a part of Facebook. But, over time I was worn down by the family using it as their main source of communication about trips and what not. Eventually I got an account. I tried using my real name which, at the time, Facebook wouldn't allow. Facebook wouldn't allow my brother to use his real name either. So, my brother made up a fake account for me. Which took a little work as Facebook used to really hate fake names.
Anyway, when I logged in for the FIRST time Facebook suggested my father as my first contact.
Maybe the song in question is good; maybe it isn't - that's up to the listener.
You, human, have your own opinions on what you call music; be it inspirational, rock, country, new age, or whatever. Your mind was 'trained' with years of what *you* find interesting or wonderful. You've listened to samples to derive your opinion on what you would create - if you created something. It might be nice, or awesome; It might be utter crap, too.
AI today requires "training" of that AI. It needs to be fed many, many samples (just as we humans are) and TFA mentions nothing about the samples this AI was fed; their genre, style, etc...
But whatever. The article doesn't mention the training program the AI underwent and how much. So, is it really that bad? It's obvious it's not completely random. But, yes, it's going to be a while before AI starts composing top 10 hits under any genre.
Where did the parent advocate having the government monitor code check-ins or ensure software quality? All he advocated was having criminal penalties for insecure software, which actually sounds like a good idea to me, provided people are able to pass the blame to their bosses and thus avoid all liability (if you fear for your job because your boss ordered you to do something insecure, then your boss should go to jail, not you. If your boss was just passing orders from his boss, his boss should go to jail, not him.).
Both bosses should go to jail. Depending on the situation it's called collusion and/or conspiracy.
Exactly. This is simply inhumane. Regardless of the otrocities commited by the convicted, we cannot, as a society, debase ourselves by resorting to torture of the mind, body, or soul.
The department of corrections is supposed to be "correcting" human behaviour, not damaging it. Too much of that happens in prisons as it is. Now this doctor wants to exacerbate that?
Whatever organization that she received her doctorate from should revoke it immediately!
Is that you? To reiterate another poster's comment, this is just some dude's blog entry.
Seriously? WTF with the headline, Timothy? Is/. Into sensationalist, eye-grabbing headlines now? How about maybe only showing comments 5 at a time while you're at it? That should garner some ad revenue. That title is *very* misleading.
I taught my small, 20lb dog to not crap in the house, too. We always walk up a hill so he can crap in the field behind the house. He doesn't like to crap on short grass, either.
One day, on vacation in Kansas City, KS, we walked out of the hotel for a morning walk. We walked across the street (near a highway). We walked and walked and he wouldn't do his business. Finally, he semi-squated in front of a small, manucured bush and promptly deposited a turd on top of it.
Triumphantly, I left it there. Hey. At least no one would *step* on it!
Father: See that, son! That's a picture of Renault. Son: Renault? Who were they? Father: Who? Renault? Son: Yeah. Father: It was a car company. They went out of business screwing their customers over.
Ah, cool. Good to know! Thanks for the update. I hadn't considered the immediacy of the locking mechanism.
As far as I can tell, this "bug" is bullshit. The worst that happens is that someone sees what apps you were running, the screens are greyed out if you "exploit" this successfully.
Try again, Apple haters.
Agreed! I thought about this while driving. Haters gotta hate.:P
KABOOM! I read some of the other posts. You DO have to double-tap the home button in really fast succession.
So, scratch my previous post.
I was able to replicate this WITHOUT having the 'Passcode Lock' enabled with a single home button tap.
I was also ABLE to replicate this WITH 'Passcode Lock' enabled with a double-tap of the home button. However, I was unable to access any of the open applications from the multi-tasking screen.
I was able to replicate this WITHOUT having the 'Passcode Lock' enabled.
I was UNABLE to replicate this WITH 'Passcode Lock' enabled.
I've now restarted an iPad Mini and am STILL UNABLE to replicate with the 'Passcode Lock' enabled.
I'm not sure what the problem with this feature is. Sure, they've 'bypassed' the swipe to unlock screen; but, the user has specifically poked and prodded this iPad Mini in what, I assume, is an extremely unlikely situation. By itself I'm not so sure this is such a major problem. If it had gotten around the 'Passcode Lock' then yeah; but, it doesn't seem to.
I have one. It's an ink pen with a camera in the tip. The camera reads dots on special paper and digitally records whatever you are writing / scriblling / drawing. It also records audio.
It plays back the audio, too. On each sheet of paper there is a timeline. Touch the timeline with the pen and it plays back from 0% marker to the 100% marker. If you touch the paper to a section that the pen wrote/drew it will start playing the audio from *that* point, too. It's totally awesome.

Oh, and no. I dont work (or know anyone who does) there.
I was four years old. We were at Myrtle Beach, SC. We were on dry sand, quite far back. I seem to recall the waves being large and clean, with very little chop; but not threatening to people up on the beach. A wave charged in, all the way to the boardwalk. The beach is relatively flat there, so the actual depth was only about a foot. My mother picked me up. My sister and my father were large enough to fend for themselves. I have no idea if anybody was hurt. The beach cleared. In the panic, my yellow plastic shovel was lost; but I spied it from up on the balcony of the motel. "Mommy, can you pllllleeeeease get it?". She went down, but another wave or a person must have taken it.
Since then, I've heard of at least one other incident like this. I think it was in Florida.
So...let me see if I got this straight. Two kids lost a yellow plastic shovel at Myrtle Beach, SC?
The queues are there for a reason: To create the impression of safety.
Also, to present a highly populated and completely unsecured target to any bad guy who decides to exploit it. That's one of the many ways in which US-style airport security is sheer idiocy.
Of course, for mentioning this, I'm sure I'll end up on somebody's watchlist somewhere. Hi NSA!
Recent news reports suggest that you - probably - already are.
Ha! Know the feeling well. I like to think that I hacked and R/E'd my way to computer programming by reading the source to hundreds of thousands if not millions of line of code. I was 9 (1978) when I located this rabbit hole and knew then this is what I'd do for the rest of my life. There was no Google so I largely would trade pirated games or find cassettes that contained programs written in easily translatable BASIC commands which I quickly picked up. Every 'RUN' magazine was read from cover to cover. Learned to type while reading code from it. Began writing my own programs to do whatever because guess what, young-bucks - It hadn't been done much yet and the 'teh interwebs' was another 20 years away - so searching the web for a program to do 'X' didn't exist.
One day sticks out particularly well with me, too. One day I had a mathematical homework assignment. Math is tedious. Being lazy, I wrote programs to do all my homework assignments for me. My father caught me doing this one day and began to - as he was often want to do - scold me. He said, "Son, if you let the computer do your homework for you you'll learn nothing." I turned and quickly responded, "Wrong, Dad. I have to program the computer to do the homework AND validate that the computer is doing my homework correctly. So, I'm learning twice as much." His eyebrows raised and he turned and walked away.
That was the first time I knew this US Marine to not pound me into the ground for talking back to him. I knew I was on to something amazing.

That's some scary shit, right there.
I don't remember who said but they said, "I'll believe corporations are people when we can cut their head off."

No, no. Not at all. I was simply suggesting that maybe their point wasn't to get statistics out; but, rather, obtain eyeballs.
I think you're totally spot on - what a wasted opportunity and inferior article. They made a claim without substantiating it at any length.
Oh, and sorry if I offended you. That certainly wasn't my intent. The whole thing is humorous to me.
The most specific the article gets is
.
Given that it's possible to get gbit fiber, well...
But you *did* read it. See what they did there?
Thus endith the lesson. :)
Did you read the article?

Exactly, you have no idea. Here's the likely explanation: trespassing. ...
You're adding more conjecture to his conjucture? Interesting.
Time to update the list of things that will let you automatically get a patent for something:
- on a computer
- on the internet
- on a stick
Don't forget 'In the Cloud'
Well, obviously "In the cloud."
So, besides, "On a computer", "on the internet", "on a stick", and "in the cloud", ...what has Google *ever* done for us!?
