the "A" in "AMD" stands for age-related, which is to say that having half your life ahead of you is pretty rare. Most people who get it do so in their 60s or 70s
Yeah, well... I'm in my 60s and hell-bent and determined that this is half of my life (you insensitive clod)
The Internet in general was, it has since the beginning been used by criminals for criminal activities, and this is just one more example of that. So-called "The Internet" should be outlawed.
There's this concept of living in harmony with nature and using old techniques to control pest issues
News flash: since the first protohominids learned to use tools, hunt as a team, and deliberately plant crops, we have not been "in harmony with nature." Humans have despoiled "nature" in every continent and island on Earth. To live "in harmony" we'd need to start by killing off 99.9% of all current living humans.
As it so happens, a number of higher-end cars (Tesla included) do have auto-dim headlights. I can only speak for the Model S, which is occasionally confused by bright lampposts close to the road but is very good at dimming not only when oncoming traffic exists but when coming up on a car (taillights) in front of me.
The vehicle driver is focussed at infinity when looking forwards. If you look at an actual mirror, you can remain focussed at infinity. If you have to look at a monitor (let alone one that's got cartoons based on target classifications), you have to refocus to the monitor distance. So unless MItsu is planning to project their image to infinity-equivalent, this is NotAGoodIdea(TM) .
Right on the heels of the article and discussion of plaintext vs. rich text vs. whateverthefuck Google is about to unleash on email comes this screwup. I say it's high time that any and all text-ish messaging systems require just plain ASCII characters and if people insist on using alternative alphabets they dang well should be required to paste them in as images, not Unicode 84E0DDC2834A or however big the field is these days.
I've solved the cost/benefit problem of mining more coins. Instead of connecting to the grid, or depending on transient sources like the sun, I'm going to set up ten thousand treadmill generators. Then I'm going to import slaves and run them to death, then replace them with more slaves. There's 7 billion people in the world, so the market glut demands a very low price on slaves.
I think it more likely that Goldman and/or their buddies went short on cryptocurrencies.
It is strange that the markets can be moved by the analyses/opinions of those who stand to benefit from making the markets move in a particular direction, no?
How is it any different from a business promoting itself in the hopes of increasing revenue?
Show me one business that promotes itself in the hopes that someone ELSE will change the price of either their product or their raw materials (stuff they buy). Promoting a product in no way shape or form is analogous to pump&dump or deprecate&short.
I think you're mixing your metaphors. Maybe he's burning a bridge, bearing a cross, or grinding an axe.... but I'm pretty sure he's not burning a cross.
As it happens, he was planning on bearing a cross, but while grinding his axe, sparks set fire to the cross, which he then dropped onto the bridge...
Let's see how the economy defines "progress" when employing a human is the target of obsolescence.
SIgh... nobody seems to comprehend that this is not the case. The target of obsolescence is human JOBS and I [for one] see no reason that people need to be employed when machine productivity is high enough to provide a high-quality lifestyle for everyone.
Shannon would be (I suspect) greatly amused by this infringement claim. OTOH, perhaps I can write a short Adagio&Fugue, and claim infringement by anyone else who writes a piece in adagio-fugue form!
Our brains still work for groups of 5 to 10 individuals. Not more. You will NEVER have any kind of strong "feelings" for anyone outside that 5 to 10 people group. Whether it's work or your private life, yes, you might work for a large corporation with thousands of people, but the only ones you really care about are the maybe 5 or 10 people in your immediate organization group.
That is, by the way, the very reason these groups are organized that way. Because that's the size of groups that we can handle instinctively.
And here I thought it was because managers couldn't stand writing more than 10 performance reviews.
"2.4 kilowatts hour per hour", where "per hour" is just the time framework where the given value + power unit happens.
It's goofier than that: us EV owners rate charging stations by the amount of equivalent *distance* we're getting, based on charging rate and energy required per unit distance. Thus, we will refer to a given level of power as charging our car at "50 miles per hour." And that's actually valid units.

No, Prop 13 is the root cause. Remove all gov't funding, and oh gosh, you remove all gov't services.
Here, here!

I saw someone get hit by an automated pizza delivery vehicle last month
eh? What's an "automated pizza" ?
Wrong. When you go, you will be much admired for doing it.

Sounds like the exact definition of someone who needs a dominatrix.
2^98,435,672 - 1 is equal to (2^49217836 + 1)(2^49217836 - 1); it's a difference of squares.
But we're discussing primes. what's 4^2 - 3^2 ?

No more need be said.

Entertainment options such as movies are handicapped from the outset by predetermined outcomes

Knowing the outcome may make a move suck for you, but not for rather a lot of us.
And I'm talking about everyone who thought the name of a network means doodley-squat.
What's next, I name my network 'you need to take a dump' and everyone on the plane rushes to the toilets?
