I stayed at a hotel recently that required scanning a QR code to get on the internet. So, my laptop had no internet that night. I didn't stay at the hotel a second night.
And finally, I am not fine at all with an OS that decides to reboot the machine whenever it likes. It's downright dangerous to leave any work open. I have been caught off guard by reboots a few times.
Well, AMD has designed better x86 chips than Intel many times over the last two decades. I don't think they've ever been able to match Intel on process, though. If AMD can build their chips on someone else's foundry, then that's good.
Contrary to popular shalshdot belief, the list of Intels main competitors do not include AMD or even ARM. Intel is a fabrication company. Its main competitors are TSMC, Samsung, Toshiba, and Global Foundries, and there are dozens of smaller competitors, and all of them are now eating into Intel at all node sizes. Samsung arrived at 10nm mass production first, and TSMC is following closely behind.
Who is making x86 chips that can out-perform Intel's?
"Watson" is a marketing term from IBM, covering a lot of standard automation. It isn't the machine that won at Jeopardy (although that is included in the marketing term, if someone wants to pay for it).
IBM tells managers, "We will have our amazing Watson technology solve this problem for you." The managers feel happy. Then IBM has some outsourced programmers code up a workflow app, with recurring annual subscription payments.
Many times I have checked out a book that has not been checked out for 2-5 years, sometimes longer. However, I appreciate the librarians keeping those books around, because I am definitely wiser because of it.
I understand that you need to do something when you run out of space, but hopefully they would go through and get rid of the less valuable books, rather than a blind '2 year' policy.
Did the Uber driver also investigate what it was about this girl's life that led her to prostitute herself in the first place and remove those conditions so that she won't just turn around and do the same thing next week?
Yeah, the two pimps went to jail. The harder it becomes to sell your daughter into this kind of situation, the less likely it will be to happen.
US reporting of events in Russia is almost always biased and uninformed. It's extremely rare to find reporting from a Russian viewpoint, because there are so many unspoken differences in the way we see things. A strong, powerful head of state is automatically viewed as a negative in the US, for example.
I propose journalists be forced to write these stories without knowing ahead of time which gender came out on top in a study. After the story has been written, the editor can go back and insert the proper gender-specific word or pronoun.
That won't happen in a world where the goal of the article (and headline) is to get page-views (or newspaper purchases).
And from there you really do see the silver bullet.
Another way to put it: if some programmers are better than others by an order of magnitude (and this result has been found by multiple studies), then the 'silver bullet' is to train the 'lesser' programmers to be better. It's a matter of changing the way they think, rather than giving them a new tool or process.
Until the leap-year bug hits, and we have a bunch of organ donors all at once, right?
Seriously though, we're closer to lab-grown organs than we are to self-driving cars. This is a problem that is (fortunately) well on the way to being solved.
And the believers are mainly liberal. Liberals are the ones who think Russia literally hacked our voting machines. What difference does it make whether one side is liberal or conservative? The only thing that matters is the science, not who 'believes' what.

Yeah, in Facebook's defense, the statue is, in fact, sexually explicit.
I don't care for Facebook's censorship, but then I don't care for Facebook, either.
Batteries are marginal at present, but are likely to become highly competitive over the next decade.
That would be great, I hope that happens.

Your computer is just practicing radical freedom.

x86 is dying, and 2017 will be the year of Linux on the desktop, Netcraft confirms.
I appoint you king of 2017. Make it so.

So when are they going to start slipping RFID tags into all the books
A lot of libraries have had that for over a decade now.
I thought Pizzagate was some people talking about where to eat pizza. Is there something more than that (besides weirdos interpreting it weirdly)?

But school education is just sad in general.
Yeah, it is. Fixing it is not easy, though.
You can't really cover how to react in every situation. Whatever we cover in school, some important stuff will be left out.
There's no expectation of privacy in a taxi.

That sounds like a huge money-maker, actually. :)
If you have any more ideas like that, let me know
Maybe. When you're in a situation like that, you don't always know what is the right way to respond. Figuring it out can take time.

Yes, EVERY SINGLE liberal person believes that Russian hackers LITERALLY infiltrated the election votes.
No, 50% of Clinton voters, actually say they believe that.
Hold on. The "sceptics" are mainly Conservative
