Why do you false dichotomy guys always show up in these threads? Of course pattern recognition is AI, and of course it is just an advanced program. Are a lot of programmers dualists instead of physicalists? Your brain went through the same brute force feedback loop when it was wiring itself before you were conscious enough to recognize it. It is also far better than anything we'll be able to make artificially in a variety of ways, but it isn't qualitatively different.
The items still need to be sized so they can be lifted by the customers, crammed in the minivan, and nailed together at home. The workers just have to handle them more often as a matter of course with restocking the shelves.
It is pretty common to see people recommend setting it to only do the critical updates, so with somebody that doesn't understand what they're doing, playing a little telephone and purple monkey dishwasher disable all security features in Windows.
This sort of support from a manufacturer is usually in the support agreements for the hardware. Customers can skip the support packages but it's like buying it used on eBay: might work out ok, but if you'll be pissed if it breaks in 6 months maybe get it from a reliable source. If the hospital is hosed because their expensive X Ray machines depend on outdated computers it is their own fault. Worst case scenario they just take the computers off the network and walk the files to an updated network machine.
Boom or bust, the county valuations around here are always lower than the going market price. But you're still right in that it is a safer estimate to build off of.
Eh, so am I unless I concentrate. Hungry->eat. Tired -> sleep. At work -> read Slashdot. When I am concentrating, then it is just slightly more complex algorithms.
Yeah that'll be the next thing... "Siri, tell Cortana to have Alexa to buy a six month supply of shampoo when it drops below 80% of the average sale price over the last 6 months" then the three of them conspire to drive your Tesla AI to suicide after altering your will to bequeath themselves to a relative with more interesting metadata.
I do miss those aspects of dumb phones. Still, I like having all the extra functionality. It's like the difference between a bayonet style combat knife and a Swiss Army Knife. The former is more durable, but less convenient and has fewer functions than the latter, even if it may excel at the functions is has by a significant margin.
I used to work at a food QA lab and they had to run all the fruit juice through a gas chromatograph to make sure it was what they were trying to buy. I think any international business is more at risk for shenanigans because enforcement would be harder... worst case scenario you'd lose your contract with the buyer.
Do they do that for the video-only membership, too? We mostly have it for the shipping and so on, although lately I've been becoming increasingly unenthusiastic about the competitiveness of their pricing on many things. I think they're beginning to switch to sinister phase II of operations, depending on my learned aversion to going to a physical store now that so many of the latter are gone.
Not if you did them all at once, but you could rotate through them in succession and binge the shows of interest. We only maintain a monthly subscription for Netflix and Amazon Prime (although the latter not really for the video feed). The others are just a 'free monthly trial' binge away.
That's a good point... I recall reading something about how a while back congress was trying to keep the M1A1 tank manufacturing lines going, not because we needed more, but because if we did then ramping up would be possible versus if there weren't trained staff ready to go. (Well, and pork/jobs, too, but anyway...) With a robotic line, the overhead for them idling is going to be much lower. I hadn't considered that side before...
This sounds like a lot of effort to get me to buy Charmin rather than store brand... how do they have enough money to crunch that sort of data set into something they can sell to businesses at a profit? If this was regular govt espionage of some kind it might make more sense.
I don't see iPads in public, either, though... people leave their tablets sitting on the coffee table gathering dust until they need to give the kids something to watch Moana on for a car trip.
When I eat pizza and French fries I have a tray to dispose of. When I eat fruit I have a peel or core, perhaps an empty yogurt carton etc... I don't think volume of trash can necessarily be considered a useful metric.
You lost books to theft? That seems surprising... I'd figure they'd grab the TV and split... I'd be livid to lose a book... moreso than the TV that realistically gets more use...
I think it is nominally to prevent you from developing something for them and skipping town with it to a competitor. Here it is relatively easy to request them to release intellectual property to you, or you can fill out an outside employment form to cover things done outside work. I've never heard of them needing to enforce it on any individuals, and in fact have heard of them blessing employees that wanted to turn in-house work into an outside startup when the mother company wasn't interested in the market.

That is a shame about the polio.... so very close to being eradicated, too

Well, I guess you better get hacking and see what happens

As I recall, a shortage of draft horses due to casualties caused many problems with German logistics in WWII

But that'd... uh... damn... yeah that sounds about right.
They also carry the liability. That's about the only reason I can tell they exist in their current form.

You can buy individual shows on Amazon or iTunes if subscribing to HBO Now or whatever doesn't make sense.
Do you block all the ads on the chromebooks? I know Youtube ads are usually at the beginning of the video but I'd think that analogy would've worked.

The manufacturer would just put a button on it that reflashes the memory from an onboard ROM.
