The intent is neither to combat criminals, nor to track citizens. (If you think the Brazilian government is competent enough to track citizens, you must check your sanity again.)
The intent of this law is to make a few corporations rich.
It looks like you come from the middle XX century. We already have that automatic stream of tickets you are speaking of. Today we get them from cameras... But everybody knows it is just a matter of time untill we get a more aware system that tracks you everywhere.
Anyway, computers are still quite stupid. The people that want to decieve those systems do. That too will change with time, and it will probably both remove the problem of unreliable humans operating cars, and create much bigger problems for us to care about.
That's excactly the rationale being used to sell the idea. That it will reduce car stealing, because the police will be able to follow a thief anywhere.
Also, it can be turned off.
I'm against the idea, but not by fear of the Big Brother, It is just that this is an explicit ploy to interfere in a market, taking my money at the gun-point, and sending it to a few choosen ones (the companies making tracking devices).
Anyway, it will probably do what is advertised, and reduce car stealing. It will send the criminals that today steal cars into other specialities, like kidnapings...
Well, DuckDuckGo is ok for techincal searches, but quite useless for anything else... Now, when I said Gogole has no competition, I meant it in search, there are plenty of alternatives on the other ninches (except for Android).
real world use is minimal and pretty much limited to a few hardcore fanbois.
By "real world" you mean custom enterprise programming? Sorry, Python is only good if you evrybody on the team is competent, so the PHBs won't ever like it. Thus, no, most jobs will stay at Java/.Net.
Now, for the people that are out of that segment - like, you know, the people that CREATE most things out there - it is a real alternative that must be weighted against the others. The thing is, if you create something, that thing didn't come in your job description.
Well, semms like we need to standardize that. Virtualenv makes it less of a problem, but does not solve it. Also, you can make code that run on both versions. It is harder, but you can.
Python3 is way better than Python2, and everybody seems to agree on that. Every big project out there either supports or is adding support for it, so killing Python2 may be much easier than IE6.
From one side, that's tipical in every monopoly, and Google is in a very "the winner takes it all" market, so it's tempting to say that they sould be regulated. From the other side, there are several big players losing enough money on this market for prooving that Google is better just because they are more competent, not because they are abusing their monopoly. That's an argument for letting the market unregulated... Since I have a liberal (real liberal, not US liberal) bias, I'd say that we need overwelming evidence before regulating a market, and there isn't overwelming evidence any way.
I think it is just about time somebody starts a Youtube-like site outside of the US... But not me:P the risk is a bit too high.
I guess living in Europe since 2005 made you forget how things are here. Or are you just one of the government's astortufers? (Yeah, that's exactly the government's line: "It is the developped countries that are keepeing us poor! Really! Don't look at your own government!")
overloaded operators are functions, so the function call will already lose more time
That's just not true.
You can overload the conventional arithmetics operators and make they run faster than the builtin ones for your specific needs. You'll just need to take a huge amount of things into account.
It's wrong (well, kinda of, define "compatible GPU"). People spend a lot of time writting the drivers for each new board. Also, Android's Linux is quite different from the mainline kernel, and drivers aren't always compatible. As a consequence, even if all your software is free, you can't just patch a GNU/Linux distro and run it.

Hello, time traveler.

That movie is very aptly named.

It is extremely valuable, you just have to be carefull about what you want to spend time carefully thinking about.
1 - Do it
2 - Yell a lot about it
3 - ????
4 - Profit
He inverted two of the steps here.

Did you overlook that part about guns? I'm pretty sure this time she'll deliver.
Well, whatever range you happen to put on it, RADAR will make it well easier to others detecting you than for you detecting them.

The problem is that there is no competition. Google's competitors are a joke, and useless.
Google is just far ahead of anybody else... And besides that being a great thing, it is also a problem.
No. The problem is that the entire Mankind relies on Google to get new information.
(I don't know how to solve it. But that's the problem.)
Well, I've tried. There are no good alternatives.

I'm confused. What is the difference?
We are following Venezuela's example. The US is in a different path. Both paths lead to poverty and tirany, that's right, but they are different.

If it is just 24 hours, why was Google already judged guilt? I mean, the elections are still 5 days ahead.
That's just not true.

But yeah, the GGP was probably joking.

Did they run an open (extensible) OS or were them running some locked down system? (Like Android)
Did they have a GPIO? Was it capable of switching in 8us by Python commands?
To be fair, sometimes this is the correct reaction.
Not this time... But some times.
Yes, and once we install yet this other stereo, we'll have enough redundancy to listen to the radio in all possible configurations.
(But, truth must be told. There are entire years that I don't the Linux sound system(s) failing.)
Just remember to veryfi your assignment operators and copy constructors, otherwise they'll lose more time than your asm will gain.
I can't. As far as I know, China is not in that list... If you actualy read what you are replying to, you'd notice that this is the entire point.
