You've just identified the real skill involved in programming computers. How many of us here can write passable programs in languages we don't really know that well, or just learned? I going to guess a lot of us. The coding is the easy part. Understanding the problem and being able to break it down is where it gets tough. COBOL was designed from the beginning to be readable by anyone with basic English literacy, but that doesn't mean anyone can build systems with it. Seems to me we keep having to relearn this lesson.
The CW article kind of confuses the two. But they didn't bore down to the mantle. The original news announcement doesn't even contain the world "mantle".
5GHz doesn't penetrate materials as well as 2.4GHz, especially in older homes. I have a dual 5/2.4 router at home, and the 5 is only fastest in the same room as the router. My house is L-shaped and made with brick/cinder block and until I moved the Wifi router there was a corner of my bedroom that didn't even see the 5GHz signal. Just because the numbers are bigger doesn't necessarily mean they're better. To me, the biggest advantage of 5GHz is it's pretty uncrowded.
Black Onyx III was never finished. Then in 1988, Rogers, who had left programming to hunt for successful foreign games to bring to Japan, encountered a game called Tetris at a Las Vegas computer show. Rogers arranged a license from the Soviet Union government, which he sold to Nintendo. Tetrisâ(TM)s success forever changed the course of his life.
Who would that be? Without access to all the information he had, I couldn't say. But at that level, there are many MANY players who would hypothetically fit the good old-fashioned means, motive, and opportunity test. At this level, paranoia isn't a mental illness, it's a survival trait.
But then what do to about those who would WANT the insurance data released and are willing and able to kill him? That's the other side of that coin. That's what the GP was referring to.
I know you are going to think I am crazy when I say this, but in my experience, rich people have often hired me to do work for them and not once has a poor individual given me a good job.
Not crazy at all, but possibly not in a position to follow the money. Why does the rich person hire you? Because he just has so much money he wants to give you some? Or is it because the rich person has a business that expands because more people are buying from their business? And are those people, are they all rich? Or maybe it's more of a B2B company, but trace the path of that money, it will lead to B2C companies*, and pretty quickly. The people buying those products are overwhelmingly middle class. The middle-class creates the jobs. Apart from a few niche luxury items, the rich do not consume appreciably more than the middle class. Look at the list of the 10 largest publicly traded in the United States. Nine of them sell things middle-class consumer buy a lot of (cars, phones, computers, gasoline and appliances) and one (Berkshire Hathaway) is a holding company for other companies that mostly sell consumer goods (including insurance).
The rich are not job creators, they are job aggregators. It's a vital and highly visible function, but some people believe that because of that, they are the most important part of the system, and that's just not the case.
* - unless you're working for a defense or other government contractor, in which case, it's the taxes which the middle class pays a goodly chunk of to fund that, so it's still coming from the same people.
Demo at CES != "product". There's no link where I can actually buy it or even get a price in either link. this video seems to suggest 2nd half 2014, but I haven't heard an MSRP yet. I would love to investigate HUD computers like this without coming up with $1,500 and a reason sufficiently hip to satisfy some Google engineers.
Or alternatively, he could have a sleep disorder. I had this problem too and got diagnosed with sleep apnea. Got a CPAP and once I got the right mask it was like night and day difference. I get better sleep and rarely get sleepy in the afternoons.
I have a world I've been working on for 30 years in the games I've run, and the world is approaching and end-game with three different factions each taking their own approach to saving the world, one that wants to destroy it, and one that doesn't care one way or another but has an escape plan if the world does end, and they're trying to get all the wealth and riches gathered up while they can. I have a set of complex rules I wrote that will determine which path will save the world, and some of that includes random dice rolls to determine whether the method tried to save it will work. That way I can't even subconsciously (mis)lead my players to which answer is the right one, because I don't know myself.
As for me, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt simply because you said "HIPAA" and not "HIPPA". There seem to be several "HIPPA experts" on Slashdot that I've mixed it up with, but for some strange reason, they don't even know the proper acronym for it.
I can imagine a scenario based on meta-information of (e.g.) watching where the driver in another car is looking gives me insight on what they want and are about to do that the self-driving car couldn't get (yet). I've slowed down when I see someone looking my way but obviously hasn't actually seen me, and sure enough they start to come over into my lane. The self-drive car could react faster to the move into my lane than I could, but because I saw the driver fail to recognize my position a second before they started their move, I reacted faster than the self-drive would. On balance though, I agree with you.
1. pico then nano for text documents 2. vi/vim for sysadmin-style tasks and quick edit jobs 3. emacs/xemacs for heads-down heavy duty development work
But vim has improved to the point that it is now my first choice for all three use cases. I used to be fairly good at using emacs, but it's been so long since I last used it all I can remember now is how to save or quit.

Code review time! This function is not optimal. This is better:
Much better, see? ;-)
Get thee hence to a new job, for verily thy current job sucketh in abundance.
20 years this May. I still have that dream. I don't think it ever goes away.

Nope, but thanks for playing.

I have heard that the Glass Explorers will get the final production model when in comes out, if so that certainly makes the $1,500 more palatable.
Hmm... /. seems to have ate my link: try this one.

Not sure where Hollywood enters this, unless you're getting there via the wrong definition of fan.
I pretty sure this is what the GP is referring to.
How is a book automatically granted the rank of pre-curated knowledge from established experts? Case in point: this and this.
Just because it gets put onto dead trees doesn't mean it's not drivel.

Goddamn, and my mod points just expired. Listen and learn, guys.

"nagios-plugins is not a fork, but a rebase with new team members. monitoring-plugins is indeed a fork, as their new name suggests."
That is rich.
And I'm just supposed to take your word on that?

Hey, that's DOCTOR troll to you, bub. ;-)
It used to be this way for me:
1. pico then nano for text documents
2. vi/vim for sysadmin-style tasks and quick edit jobs
3. emacs/xemacs for heads-down heavy duty development work
But vim has improved to the point that it is now my first choice for all three use cases. I used to be fairly good at using emacs, but it's been so long since I last used it all I can remember now is how to save or quit.
Statistical hypothesis: more people with a UID lower than yours will get this than a UID higher than yours. :-)
