No it's not generic. Yes it should be. But the FDA approval rolls up the drug and the dispenser and the generic versions of the Epipen have not been approved. There are other makers that do provide epinephren auto injectors but they have their own systemic approvals. So while it should be a generic, the very fact that no generics can get approved means it's not generic. Mylan of course knows this. I'd be unsurprised if they were behind creating unneccessary specs just to fail the generics.
D-waves systems are inherently statistical. Which means you need many replicas of an experiment to map out the ground state and reliably establish it is the ground state. Doesn't this mean that the more cubits you have the exponentially more replicas you need to run? thus anything short of exponential gains in speed is a step backward in perfromance as you add quibits? or am I wrong.
Um... didn't we learn something from the abhorrence of google glass. I'd tolerate being in the room with someone wearing these as long as I knew ti was painful for the wearer to use them and put them in visible agony when they were activated. I'm thinking something like glass shard ear pieces and a 50Kv electro shock to the brain when turned on for ten seconds.
you can pay for various speeds of shipping. As people use the priority ones more the slower ones get slower as there are less gaps to insert the slow ones into and they get even slower.
When I buy an item, I will pay more to get it directly from Amazon or from a seller that ships through Prime. That way I don't get screwed if there is something wrong.
Totally agree. Amazon's satisfaction policy is reasonable and uniform, so no surprises or hassles trying to save a dollar.
Here's something that puzzles me about their search algorithm. The first search will pull up "most, relevant" items. And you quickly scan the first pag or two for the cheapest version and find something you like. Then you switch to "lowest price first" sort order. And when you do this something really odd happens. That item you found using the relevancy search is often not there at all???? That is to say as you scroll down pass the irrelevant cheap stuff listed first eventually you reach the price point of the item you saw before and it's simply not there.
This also works in the reverse direction too. Sometimes a cheap item doesn't show up in the relevancy search as well. This I sort of understand: it must not have been indexed with the right key words so it gets knocked out of the relevancy search.
But the other direction I can't fathom. Why would a relevant item not show up in the price sort?
A cynical person might think they were trying to hide the cheap items from you but I sincerely doubt that.
The FAA had previously said they can't ban it till the CPS recalls it. That made little sense to me but I could see why that might be the case. The FAA can't just pass judgement on things they are qualified to pass judgement on. And when does it graduate from anecdotal?
But as you point out, e-bay Replacement Batteries are notorious for not meeting their own specs and deteriorating rapidly. It does make you wonder.
But in this case we had 43 reported fires in a relatively small market in a very short time. The do seem to be bombs.
What I wonder about is why half charing them makes any difference. Half a bomb? they said the mechanism was terminals pressed too close together. SO what difference does the charge level make
Between Eric Bachman's hype and Gilfoyle's latent satanic easter eggs I think I'll wait to see if this actually works. But it's nice to see them beating Hooli.
I find this absolutely reprehensible. I truly wonder why people put up with this. It's one thing to not care that google tracks you. I don't mind. But I'd be absolutely incensed if I had no way to prevent it and I'm locked into a 2 year contract with no way to have a usable phone and usable maps without granting google this prying eye. One of my kids has a phone which doesn't even allow google play to be turned off (the phone relies on it). Each week we notice data charges when he has used no data. When we trace their origin, it's google play. Now I know why.
"I didn't have time to write a short letter so I wrote a long one", is an old aphorism. Writing tightly and editing concisely takes skill and wit. Hemingway once wrote the shortest novel on a dare: "For Sale: Baby shoes, Never worn."
I recently got a chance to see someone using unbuntu inside linux and I'm curious how this works. Is it running a virtual machine or re-implementing the low level system calls or what? If it needs to talk to the network or use a USB device is it a virtual connection to the Windows Drivers or does the linux have to have it's own drivers.
Finally, since it's ubuntu does this mean I could give it a linux Mint character or is that pointless since it is using Windows as the desktop
They say in the article it's half the price of DRAM. And it's Non-volatile. It seems like it's the perfect material for the next gen exascale machines which pretty much demand large persistent memories with near ram speeds (cause you can't get the data from the disk to the processor at that scale-- you need to store stuff locally)
I thought I would hate the kindle both for it's form factor and because I have a sort of photographic memory for page layouts when recalling information in text books. Since I don't read textbooks often anymore--most things are now searchable on the internet, what I found was the convenience of the kindle in being able to take a lot of books on travel, even pick them up at the airport, and also to make the fonts larger are killer reasons it's better than print. I personally use it to the exclusion of books for all new books. I still buy used books because the price is better.
What kills me about the kindle is two things. One is when I read great book the first thing I want to do is give it to a friend. And you can't. The second thing is you can't put it on your trophy shelf. I like looking at the books I've loved on my shelf as they recall bits of the story I liked at a glance. It tells others about me in a way I want to tell, and it's lets you pick one out and give it to a friend.
So I love books and hate the kindle, except that it's a far better tool than a book. It's just that books are more than tools, they have identities and you want to share them.

Samsung phones have wireless charging. You don't need a jack to charge them.
Is that a british Billion or a USA billion?
Perhaps we can forever rid ourselves of the english language uncertainty over the definition of a billion by renaming the US billion to a "Yahoo".

Yes but don't worry, Allsafe is managing it and there's this whiz kid Elliot Alderson that keeps the E_coin locked down so no one can unwind it.

Wait till Mr. Robot becomes an editor. Oh don't worry about that friend, you see we hired Allsafe to keep it secure. (Alf walks by the background).

I think that it just means the people who hear it are Parselmouthed and can hear the inner basilisk spell that runs the A10.
than later when there's a huge code base.

Boycott google.
The problem is battery terminals manufactured too close together. Why does having 40% less stored energy make the problem any better?

Some phones bend in your pocket, other kill you in your sleep or bring down a 747 when they catch fire. Seems sort of all the same to me.
