I hate to be the one defending the cops, but it really sounds like they did things the right way here. They raided a little early, but not in the middle of the night. They knocked on the door instead of ramming it down, they didn't throw flashbangs, they didn't shoot any dogs or anything else for that matter. The cops didn't steal a bunch of unrelated stuff and there were no bullshit charges leveled against the couple.
That's a really low standard for "did the right thing."
Maybe he is. I don't think so, but you know, maybe?
The proper thing for the police to do in that case is to investigate more deeply, not seize his computer and then find out later that he was just running a TOR exist node. Arrest warrants need to be signed by a judge exactly to prevent this kind of abuse from happening.
He's more-or-less acted like the guy he promised to be before he was elected. Somewhat inexperienced, but inspirational to people, and he fights to reach his goals.
Not much to feel disappointed about.
ok, consider this scenario, where you have a self-driving car that recognizes it can't handle a situation ahead, giving itself enough time to pull over to the side of the road and wake you up, so you can start driving. Not a big deal when there's only one car, but......
Now imagine there are thousands of self-driving cars, all on the road, and they all try to pull over at the same point. Suddenly you have a giant traffic jam on the freeway. The kind of traffic jam that is so bad, it might not be cleared up until after midnight, and you'll be stuck there.
I would go farther than that and say, "if the car cannot drive without a pre-made 3D model, it can't drive."
Along with that, might as well add, "if the car cannot drive without internet/GPS connectivity, it cannot drive"
What technology advance do you see making it possible within ten years?
I should have said more clearly, "with the current autonomous technology, that depends heavily on a pre-made 3-D representation of the world, consumer autonomous cars are not practical."
That's kind of like how beginner soccer players tend to kick the ball directly to the goalie, even though there is a huge net with plenty of places to kick the ball.
Verizon is going after ad networks. They recently bought AOL, now they are looking at Yahoo. They can't really buy Google or Facebook, so they got the next best thing.
Now they can identify you (and your personal data) almost anywhere you go on the web, and are preparing to take a huge chunk of the video content market, where the real money is.
The Javascript tech stack is in huge flux right now, with new frameworks coming out, and no convergence yet (this list isn't anywhere near complete, for example. If you really want to, and only have time to learn one, I'd go with Angular or Backbone. React.js is interesting but is still immature).
The biggest coming wave is WebAssembly, which will let you write front-end code in C++. It's going to turn everything on its head, and my guess is we'll see completely new frameworks.

This building, actually close to the hypocenter, has been left standing. This remaining piece of a church is still standing in Nagasaki, similarly close the the hypocenter.

Here's another free lesson in life: Your lawyer does not represent your best interests.
This is so true.
As a platform it's already worth billions.
If you don't have a link or citation to back this up, then you are the idiot. Do research before making random assertions.
Yeah, I've been wondering that too. IBM tries to talk it up, but I haven't seen any numbers like, "we made X billion off Watson this quarter"

Of course, that gets back to the earlier question, "What technology advance do you see making it possible?"
and are ultimately going to be better drivers than us.
But not with current technology.

I'm down on self-driving cars. I would love to have one myself, but the technology won't be here in the next five years, probably much longer.
Ahhhh yeah, one of the best things to come out of this election cycle has been the end of the Bush dynasty.

But we'll probably just end up fighting over whatever habitable parts of the planet remain.
Wow, what sort of disaster exactly are you expecting to happen?
Nah, I'm only allowed to make 1/300,000,000th of the rules.....
tbh it's cheaper than the Bay Area
I pin this on American citizens as much as on their leaders (if not more).

New rule: Don't invade a country (no matter how bad the dictator) unless you're willing to stick around and pick up the pieces.
3) If an ad gets served containing malware, the website is liable for punitive damages in court.

So essentially, You are saying that a browser will become a platform to distribute binaries? Because that's pretty much what You are suggesting.
Yes
(there will still be the HTML/CSS component which is not a binary)
