But that's why I don't understand how it makes sense to argue about whether the observations are about "the Higgs boson," or something "else." If the Higgs boson was previously a prediction, as were these others, and new observations are consistent with several of them but don't rule out all but one, what is the basis for saying one was the real one and the others were impostors?
I have a 512 one and the slow CPU is a bigger issue for me. It is too slow to comfortably run a web browser. It is also too slow to use as an X server using ssh tunneling. Opening up the X display to accept unencrypted connections from remote hosts, it is kind of OK (no videos, obviously).
I am sure it's great for lots of things, but if I were buying something to plug a screen and keyboard into, I would go the route of a used Core 2 duo laptop next time. YMMV.
But I just wanted to add that fMRI lacks the resolution to measure individual neurons, so I don't know how it could possibly be used to rule out neuron-level parallelism. It is like recording people's height in whole feet and concluding there are only 6 different heights of people.
I think the opposite. First, Watson is not really GOFAI because it uses so much machine learning to populate its knowledge base. But second, I don't think any conceptual breakthrough is coming, or needed, in AI. Deep Learning is a great example of this - it achieves super-human levels of performance on some recognition tasks (such as street signs) despite being almost devoid of any conceptual progress compared to, say, 1970. (At least, no conceptual breakthrough). The fact that it outperforms an entire generation of advances in statistical machine learning (which supposedly obsoleted conventional AI by being vastly more rigorous) is stunning.
The basic reason there cannot be a conceptual breakthrough is because intelligence is not anything in particular. It is just a level of proficiency in a bunch of various areas, and the integration between them. Just a bunch of different hacks.
I don't think "upside" for the employees is particularly what they had in mind. (Actually, it can't be, because employees don't have the data to populate this sort of model - only the employer does).
Harm to employees also doesn't require them to do anything wrong, if by that you mean "incorrect." If the algorithm notices that you're a caregiver for your aging mother, and you have 3 kids in high school, and your wife has a state-issued licensed for her job, you're certainly not going anywhere no matter what... so why give you a raise, ever?
Sadly I think granular security controls have been rejected by the market. You spend a while downloading and installing an app and it almost always requests access to more or less everything, or it won't run. You can "fix" this by cutting yourself off from most of the most popular apps. But the fact that it's so commonplace among popular apps implies that companies want to spy more than people want privacy, so privacy-protecting options are unlikely to become available and well-supported anytime soon.
craiglist and ebay don't allow firearms listings either. You can argue that's bad, fine. But centering the discussion around Cody Wilson in particular, as if this were some arbitrary decision that just affects him, is just feeding into his self-promotion. On the contrary, it would be odd if Stripe's pre-existing policy against participating in the arms trade were somehow deemed to be inapplicable merely on the basis of how a gun is manufactured.
So it is only "American's killed in wars" that counts?
Nope, not at all!
Still waiting for those numbers... be sure to include civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan when you try to argue that the military has "increased its killing" under Obama - I don't believe he can match 5% of his predecessor.
UUggh, I'm getting sucked into political bickering on./ again.
But I would really like to hear one person such as yourself explain, by the numbers, how this is not a time of relative peace and prosperity? Especially, say, as compared to 10 years ago. I see tens of thousands fewer dying in American wars, and a booming stock market. It's like Clinton all over again, except without a salacious sex scandal.
What is it you are thinking of when you say it? (With numbers please).
Keep in mind this is a Wall Street Journal editorial article, so pronouncements to the effect that "Silicon Valley is Republican now" should be taken with a big grain of salt.
And it's google who's now the country's biggest political donor, even over Goldman-Sachs! Here's an article from just one year ago, when google became #8 by surpassing Lockheed-Martin. And just 10 years ago, in 2004, "the company opened a one-man lobbying shop, disdainful of the capital's pay-to-play culture."
So I guess that establishes the pecking order, doesn't it? Just when all eyes are on the military-industrial complex, Wall Street takes over. And then as they are in the spotlight, in sneaks the new corporate Stasi.
You would have to make the the case that disconnecting a sprawling oil enterprise from the Internet would be worth the cost in efficiency.
It's not as if the Internet is the only vector by which information spreads. New products themselves represent new techniques, people move from company to company, companies hire each others' services and work together, etc. Yes, I'm sure there's some value in hacking or nobody would do it. But it only speeds up the process by some factor.
Getting enough internal storage for your applications is solid advice.
That said, this runs Windows, not Android like your Venue, and it has a USB3 port, so there should be no obstacles to installing programs on an external drive, and it should perform fine.
This $200 Stream has an SD Card slot. For $110 you can expand it to 256 GB if you want. OK, that's overkill for a $200 device, but you get the point. Get a 32GB card for $15 instead.
You ought to look into things before forming an opinion about them:
For-profit colleges had a 19.1 percent default rate, down from 21.8 percent last year.
Four-year public universities and private nonprofit institutions, meanwhile, had the lowest default rates -- 8.9 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively.
Personally I think the picture is becoming increasingly simple: if data is collected, there is a good chance it will be disseminated and cross-referenced with whatever else is known about you, or that can be statistically inferred from what is known.
There was a time when I thought that encryption, and layers of computer security features, had given individuals measures to strongly protect information, so long as they didn't do something dumb. Now I don't think so. It is simply not possible to implement and use a system of any scale without making mistakes. You might as well pin your hopes on making ten free-throws in a row. Therefore, once you share information beyond yourself, there is a good chance it will go further than you wanted. Your privacy lies solely in being one of many, and not being individually targeted with greater resources than you have to defend yourself.
There are no perfect crimes. Information wants to be free. Etc.
Consumers have no way to educate themselves, because the companies are not compelled to reveal what they are collecting or what they are doing with the information with any specificity.
If that is true, then the 'friend' who used Warg's computer to hack and is now standing by watching Warg go down in flames is a real dick for not coming forward.
The question isn't whether the patents have any value, because they do. I am saying that from the outside, sitting here on slashdot and on the basis of the article, there's really no way we could argue whether those patents are actually worth $1M, $1B, or $10B.

Lots of people beyond slashdot are interested in Blizzard games.

Keep in mind, the amount of cable-news time that can be devoted to something has no relation to how big an event it actually is.

OLED doesn't particularly need a bezel, by design. Here is a 55" TV with a 1mm bezel.

"Anyone still going to the movies?" Answer: yes.
And yes, at least a good chunk of that is actual, honest-to-god lifestyle differences, not just situational.
You didn't bother to provide a source but I will: New wind and solar plants generate cheaper low-carbon electricity than the latest nuclear reactors, a study shows, indicating they will lead a global push for green energy. There are lot of different factors that make this claim debatable, but even if wind is still somewhat more than nuclear, it's not "very expensive" which was the point.
