If those machines now do the job of employees for less than $15 an hour then the nation has just gotten more productive. It has freed up labor that can be used elsewhere. With increased productivity there will be new jobs elsewhere. In the end everyone is better off on average. I suppose it's possible that there are people whose maximum capability after a lifetime to training is burger assembly at carls junior but I doubt there are many such people. Unless you consider this make-work in a climate where there are no jobs this is not a bad thing. If it is make-work then the GOvt should be taxing people who have jobs to pay for the make-work. I don't think were in a period of time where make-work is needed.
Evidently a lot of companies able to play lots of lawyers have instead paid up in huge amounts. I don't know what the patents are but the poster didn't even give a clue about why they are bogus so for me the circumstantial evidence is on Microsoft's side for now
It depends on what you mean by free. If you mean free to read. Yes definitely. If you mean free to publish in. No definitely not. What I want is far fewer papers to read. People should stop publishing shit and salami science and instead publish definitive accomplishments. Journals serve an enormous purpose when they provide editorial control to reject crap and solicit review articles and collections of alike articles from many people in the same field. The latter encourages reading broadly, and brings you things you might not have found by following citations or even searches.
I view the entry fee that I have to pay to publish worth it if it pays for editorial filtration. As much as I hate getting a rejection letter personally I'm glad for the process.
You kids. in my day we used a schmitt trigger, a resistor, and a capacitor to keep time and we glad to have it. My grandfather used to feel his pulse and bang on a hollow log, so we had it easy. Atomic clocks. Luxury!
Not really. Not usually. They abandon things ahead of when people think they should but then it usually turns out they were right. Floppies, serial ports, vga, these things dragged on forever, festooned on the sides of PC laptopos and desktops. The early use of postscript is why desktop publishing was so uniform on macs compared to PC, but in doing that they sort of abandoned the drivers for many other printiers. excessive ports on PCs didn't really make them more versatile it meant widespread impatability with other equipment and drivers. So leadership to the next technology also shows up in what you pare down.
I think that the full headline should have been, Will Intel's optante cure cancer when they use next years apple computers to write legislation on comptuers 1000x faster? Ot maybe the headline should be Will a new generation of porn addiction begin when downloaded videos start 1000x faster using Intel's optane?
Whenever I start a Netflix show the first 5 minutes or so are crap resolution. But by the end of the show it's fine. I generally see that it's streamming at about 2.5Mb/sec both at the start and at the end. I have a 20mb/sec connection that actually speed tests well, I have three different wifi routers, and three unrelated devices that can show movies (not at the same time). Netflix tells me they think it's my routers. Yet amazon streaming works fine. What can I do to answer this?
If you beleive anything you might have learned in computer science surely it is that spending time to get the API right is the most important thing. populating the implementation of the sub sections defined by the API is the work you give to the C-students. You let the A-students come define the interface. The API is the most valuable part of the whole
So i don't understand yet why one cares about this attack. I can see edge cases but I'm not sure I see the main threat but this may be due to my ignorance about how ToR works.
Here's the issue. Suppose the user visits the following three web sites. 1. Mao Mao Mao, via tor, a site secretly run by the chinese military that fingerprints Tor User 2. Falun Gong Spy Network using tor, but not controlled by the chinese miltary 3. Communist party phone directory, not on Tor but using fingerprinting.
So clearly they can connect 1 and 3. But how can they spot 2? And it's only 2 they care about.
The edge case would be if they were to run some entrapment site that was offering illicit reading material that would attract Falun Gong curious people. Then they could ID these wanna-be thought crimminals. But I don't see how they are going to spot the people visiting the hard core (site 2) site.
I've been a victim of so many data breeches I now have three different experian and life lock memberships courtesy of various companies and give agencies who mishandled my vital particulars. I really don't need another one. I only accept these now because I think data mismanagement is a crime and since they won't be prosecuted they at least need to feel the sting in their wallet. But as long as they are paying give me the cash not experian.
Posse commitas. Google it. You are right about Feds. But The pentagon would not be allowed to use its national guard reserve authority to evade the restrictions on the Feds so that's not an out here.
I tried not touching anything once but I ended up peeing on my shoe. Sometimes you need to shake that last trip off. And it's kinda frightening operating the zipper without tucking things in just so.
I don't understand how Apple fixed prices. It's not like two different book makers sell the same book. Apple just let the book owner set the price. Amazon dictates prices. Just because they sell for lower now is no indication they will sell lower later. One can see how they used their marketplace power to cow some publishers into selling at a lower price. This can be used for good or evil. It's not the same as competition which is what the apple model used.
Everybody knows that the Rasberry PI is never the fastest or cheapest or most featured. It's still the best in terms of support and constancy of design available accessories and an the likelihood of a path forward for things built in one generation to work on the next. It also now even runs windows, has embedded or server versions and a large range of price points. SO yeah we all know there's things like Pine and Orange Pi and Bannana PI and orroid and beagle bone circling the trade-space of the raspberry. And I even enjoy articles comparing these. But singling out one of these for headline space on Slashdot is just blantant astro turfing.

Here's one on Etsy that can use NTP, GPS for $70. there's other for $30 out there if you google.

Look at all the commercialized code that have come out of universities.
Did you know that all prime numbers appear in consecutive digits of pi, along with the complete works of shakespear?
Pick any statistical anomaly and it likely that some of these will appear over some run of an unpredictable series.
Does this mean that any code at a university which was associated with an NIH or NSF or DOE grant has to be provided freely to the govt?
B is for Buy
C is for on Credit
Even if they are 3 laws safe it seems dicey to arm them.

Someone should write a book about this.

Is there a source code obfuscator?

Justices never change their minds? then why do they even present the case. Just let them decide.
