dunno, you kind of sound like you have no idea what the law was used for. you think it was used for banning muslim caricatures? noooope. it wasn't for that. it was more for banning you from whistleblowing that the local mayor is an asshole.
first, it wasn't even about offensive, just being annoying was enough. even if you were speaking the truth. so it was too broad of a law and used mainly for politics.
and really pakistan has enough problems of it's own without doing anything - furthermore if you were going to ban everything that's potentially offensive or blasphemous in the pakistan/indian/myanmar region - you would need to ban everything and even banning everything would be offensive to some fuck in the region.
images of buddha? sure, offensive. have a buddhist monk selling images of buddha? yeah sure, whatever, so it's not offensive. unless you ask some other guy who says that it is offensive. saying that beef tastes good? yeah offensive, no wait it's not, no wait it's saying that pork is good that's offensive... and majority of these nations have majority of the people living - up until this point in history - in a little bubble world of their own covering 20 kilometers where they live, with their grandparents having raised them to think that their way is the only true way.
it doesn't need to be.. it would be useful even at 1/100th time. though time is relative, so you couldn't even apply the term real time to it. how long it takes for it to "think" an answer to a problem... are you real time intelligence? you still need an reaction time.
what people mean with real time with AI though is usually "in comparison to a human" as if the AI had a human brain or was a human in a box. which is not that likely outcome of AI research at all.
and it could always be ran in a context for the problem it's supposed to solve - and why wouldn't you do that? if you can pause it and run it again with same start point without it being aware that it is a different run even. you know, like a computer program.
but that doesn't make for good headlines, "OMG AI ALIen OVERLOARDDSS" makes for much scarier stuff.
furthermore, the singularity hipster journalists should all just go fuck themselves, getting tired of this reporting on "what could happen" and zero reporting on actual research. if they want be journalists writing about science fiction books, fine, go do that, but if they want to write articles about AI maybe they should look up some actual research and researchers instead of asshole futurologists who do nothing but troll journalists for fame.
well what it leads to is just apps being first developed on 7.0, then having stuff fixed for 7.5, then being rewritten for 8.0 and then again the project reworked for 8.1 and then a total rewrite for 10.
so fucking universal!
and yes, the thing is, this is the _exact_ same marketing stuff they were hyping out with wp8 and windows 8. they were showing slides of how it's all unified and you get the same app running on everything and all that. they made such a big deal about it, despite you never going to be able to run wp8 apps on your win8 tablet(unless said tablet is a x86+vt and you have the sideload package and you run the wp8 emulator on said tablet, which is basically more trouble than running android apps on said x86 computer).
it's a mess. wouldn't trust them about this before they have phones, tablets and the desktop out and the sdk to do it out and it actually can run the same app on everything.
it also functions as the keylock/screenlock shortcut, so it's not going to be any use for this. otherwise the usability would be pretty poor, as you do want the screen to turn off and lock from input when you place the phone in your pocket, unless you enjoy random stuff happening.
this lock is separate from that. meaning that you can just open the screen and start doing whatever it was you were doing.
now, with these phones it would be nice to have separate real lock button.
it's doubleception. canada could have blamed some other party after getting caught for trying to frame other party.
now, framing individuals? that's war talk.
I just wish other countries would already learn up and stop sending anyone into usa for being prosecuted for cybercrime. the fuck anyone can know who they framed or whatever, just as excercise...
when your adults want it. when your hillbillies don't freak out from removing morning prayers, oaths, flag raising and such tomfoolery. when your adults just want a decent education, equal education, for everyone, for their children and their neighbours children and the children on the east coast and the children in texas. when your adults want everyone to be taught science the same way, the same subjects, when you want religion to taught as a topic and not as history, when your adults will accept that their children deserve _better_ education than them.
Americans don't want it - it's not about the teachers union. from the headlines from USA it would seem it's anything BUT the teachers union that is resisting this. wholesome education you see would include things some parts of the large mass don't want to be taught, like that usa is just a country, that christianity(or the local sect version of it) is just a religion and that there is a vast number of other religions and countries(and that mostly indeed they don't even agree with the pope on what christianity has as it's beliefs so..).
Let me guess, you're either a frail little twig or a barely mobile lard ass.
Try exercise and diet, then you'll be able to move more comfortably and without losing your breath.
feck off.
the problem with majority of these virtual reality companies and tech is that they try to be too much.
what they need to break into big market is VR gaming.
you know what's the best way to actually play for 3 hours with an oculus rift? a fucking space mouse? kinect? what the fuck. of course not. best way is to sit on sofa with either controller or sofa compatible mouse and kb. essentially you're just going to replace your monitor with the thing - and no it's not the same still as using a hmz-1 or something like that. the immersion is vastly superior and the head movements should work - BUT the head movement should be just something optional. like, if you need to use your head movement even for up/down looking it gets really tiring and aiming becomes a chore. good example about this is how hacked in vr support in hl2 was better than actual "virtual reality support" in tf2, because they tried to make too many modes in the official vr support. just having mouselook functions perfectly - and the head movement then just mapped another mouse. does this disorientate people? probably those who can't play fps's anyways - as a feeling it's not that much different than looking at a screen and using mouselook. the point however is that it doesn't tire you so much.
full movement virtual reality for home games is a wii motion control like gimmick - you just can't make it work and the disconnect is so huge anyways, you can't have tactile feedback anyhow.
just make a high res 90 fov+ head unit and it will sell like hotcakes. console and pc gamers will buy it in troves and just use their old desk or sofa and controls, trying to turn the room into a minority report joke ui is a bad idea(virtual high resolution monitors, 360 degree desktop and such not so bad idea, but would be interacted with kb and mouse finely.
if waving the hands was a good ui for day to day work, then we would be using something quite different from the old typewriter style we have.. the typewriter is better than the pen.
I know, but it's spinning it differently. quite a lot of fossils getting burnt over there.
furthermore, as I pointed it out, there are places that are full hydro already, it's not really news to manage that feat if your country is in a place that allows for it.
or did they go all electric cars and boats too and start cooking on electric? they had a good rainfall.
with this reasoning norway has been 100%+ renewables for a loong time(they generate more renewable energy than they use, and export the rest). sure, they do export fossil fuels too..
So what went wrong with Finnish journalism courses?
that they take international media seriously. seriously, everytime finland is mentioned, it becomes a headline.
HOWEVER the education articles about Finland are largely not written by Finnish journalists.
to them there is nothing special in the education. there really isn't. what's fascinating is how badly other countries fuck up education and devote hundreds of hours yearly only patriotic shit rather than education. USA, 3rd world countries etc particularly fall into this, in those the school system is supposed to "install values" or shit like that through old brainwashing techniques, like reciting the oath to the nation, teaching respect for the teacher etc etc. all time that could be spent on educating the kids(and the teachers).
that's whats different from finnish schools to others, that they at least TRY to focus on educating facts and not trying to just mold your feelings. flag raising bullshit? "know your place", "brick in the wall" bullshit via school uniforms? yeah, none of that bullshit and who your parent is has zero effect on your grades. incidentally, teachers only gain respect if they deserve it and work for it - automatic teacher respect culture died out decades ago in finland now - which is a strange thing in some countries, like in asia. in thailand teachers are respected, yet they do bullshit like drink beer whilst in class "because it's hot" - the school works more as an authority respect attitude adjustment camp than as a SCHOOL - and then as result even the highly educated are too stupid to understand why it's bad.
rock'n'roll is a big problem that is dramatically increasing.. oh wait.. equal civil rights is a big problem that is dramatically increasing.. oh wait, abolishing segregation is a big problem that is.. kids reading other books than the bible is a big problem that is..
now, having a talidome baby that's a big problem. having your kid in a catholic summer camp with pervs is a big problem. lead paint is a big problem. WORLD FRIGGIN WAR is a big problem, having your brother conscripted to die on the other side of the globe, now that's a big problem.
todays big problems.. sheesh. the only problem is that the kids don't have appreciation for old pc games and like pewdewpie. early internet, hah, now that was something since it was so small you couldn't get away from memes into controlled bulleting boards, fb or whatever. bet you two bucks your kids don't even know what goatse is. but you do - did it break you mentally? no? just take the phone away if you don't want them to read internet all night long. at least it's easier than finding their book&flashlight stash.
but the stresses were always there and the statistics about actual events don't show them to be causing more suicides to happen. cyberbullying is bad yeah, but not as bad as getting hit with a baseball bat. or shot.
on the opposite they help make it easier to make others aware of what's happening.
With or without using locked-down proprietary drivers?
both? that's what the article is about anyways, that the locked down nvidia stuff gives you 100% better bang for buck(double)? so someone chipping in and saying they have no problems playing some games that should run fine with years old budget cards is not that much of a help to that discusion.
they tried that kind of shit already years and years ago you know.
right now they're bitching about low royalties on spotify, on stuff they uploaded to youtube for even lower royalties - WITH A FRIGGIN VIDEO and extras like live performances and such.
vocational schools(alternative to going to high school, basically, in finland) kind of already do this kind of stuff. that's where you would have "cafeteria" lessons anyways. in high schools, "chemistry" and "physics" are already topics as is mathematics, biology or whatever and the courses are laid under to cover different topics, like basic gene stuff in biology in one course that includes some chemistry and so on. and by already I mean 17 years ago.
furthermore, it's just a plan by few people at this stage anyways to do it(read the article). basically, the people pushing for it.. well. I don't know, kind of are using the independent to push their vision.
like, I haven't read any of this in Finnish media, which is odd.
well, perhaps due to the constant internet people are more aware - and as a result of that she is getting more BUSINESS which she equates to more suicide attempts and just randomly chooses smartphones as the "thing" that causes them.
because you know why? it makes for damn easy counseling for her. just tell the parents to ban the smartphone and boom problem solved.
you know, doing like that you were thought of as a FRIGGIN NERD AND GEEK just 15 years ago if you spent as much time as you could "online" or using a computer to read what's happening in the world, but now that everyone is reading news, reading in general, watching community created content(!), having pen pals all around the world etc all day long people are now finding that as a problem, for some frigging reason.
and yeah smartphones are THE great equalizer of the 21st century. 80 bucks + 10 bucks a month (or none, whilst hanging around where there is free wifi) gets you a personal computer, library and media consumption device.
and no, having a media consumption device where you can look up why your crops are dying is not detrimental, having a device that teaches you to read. mind you it's not 1st world equalizer so much as people are quite equal with access to such things already but in the 3rd world it does a lot. perhaps even in the long term teaching them that ghosts are bullshit and you can't buy magic from the local village medicine doctor/monk/whatever-scam-artist etc...
really, what bothers me about the recent anti-smartphone nerd group is that 2003 it was super cool to be on the first waves of smartphone, always potentially connected crowd and the use cases were phenomenal and now that we have it the dolts are finding it abnormal? it's different, that's for sure but different than before can be an improvement in the grand scale of things - unless you're a dinosaur who's getting fucked up by the new order(or an elitist who doesn't find such stuff cool after it's widely accessible).
you don't understand? if the intelligence agency has no checks and has all the information, then they potentially have all the power while not being elected. it's not that "be declared weak on crime or terrorism" but getting something leaked or manufactured to destroy their chances of getting elected. so potentially they cannot be publicly(or even privately!) against the intelligence agencies out of fear of getting outed by the intelligence agencies.
that is, they have a say over what intelligence agencies do BUT the intelligence agencies have the ability to blackmail or arrange them to lose or win, so the intelligence agencies have unchecked potential power over the elected officials.
STASI and KGB had such powers. ever thought of how Putin came to power? or why he had to get into power? Puting could have been personally fucked over if someone else got to power, that's why. same reason Putin cannot give power to anyone else.
the point is rather that the mother thinks that just keeping him from smoking, drinking and getting inked up means that he is not a swatter......ironically, when if he had been drinking and smoking with inked up friends, he probably would not have swatted or even thought of swatting some people on twitch.
sounds like the guy was really, really really fucking bored.
make them work with less? they're employed to the job anyways, so it's puzzling how doing the job needs so much more funding. it needs them to do WORK sure.
besides than which in many countries it would be a crime for officials to come to this conclusion and not do anything, but apparently in not in the backroom deal plea paradise of USA().
Slashdot Mirror
100.
but.. tfa legos are "very useful for creating dinosaurs from scratch." shows a bit where they use a premade t-rex.
anyways, i would think it's just not 100k of lego but 100k of professional time.
dunno, you kind of sound like you have no idea what the law was used for. you think it was used for banning muslim caricatures? noooope. it wasn't for that. it was more for banning you from whistleblowing that the local mayor is an asshole.

it's better than that.
just being an "annoyance" was enough.
and sure enough, critique of the system was an annoyance to people in power so...
it doesn't need to be.. it would be useful even at 1/100th time. though time is relative, so you couldn't even apply the term real time to it. how long it takes for it to "think" an answer to a problem... are you real time intelligence? you still need an reaction time.

swatters aren't violent people as such.
psychopaths sure, but not doing violence.
point is, what kind of a weekend boozer street fighter would bother with swatting? nobody.
I know, but it's spinning it differently. quite a lot of fossils getting burnt over there.
furthermore, as I pointed it out, there are places that are full hydro already, it's not really news to manage that feat if your country is in a place that allows for it.
and they haven't had a genuine new product since iphone MEGA. or ipad. whatever.
nobody normal cares about the watch, that's the problem
or did they go all electric cars and boats too and start cooking on electric? they had a good rainfall.

twitch swatting is probably done by people who stay in the home too much, due to whatever circumstances(bossy mom, or whatever).
it gives them a chance at human interaction they can witness(on twitch) without leaving the house.
they tried that kind of shit already years and years ago you know.
right now they're bitching about low royalties on spotify, on stuff they uploaded to youtube for even lower royalties - WITH A FRIGGIN VIDEO and extras like live performances and such.
kind of both.

yeah so how do those games bench against nvidia cards half the price?
what about them?
you don't understand? if the intelligence agency has no checks and has all the information, then they potentially have all the power while not being elected. it's not that "be declared weak on crime or terrorism" but getting something leaked or manufactured to destroy their chances of getting elected. so potentially they cannot be publicly(or even privately!) against the intelligence agencies out of fear of getting outed by the intelligence agencies.
