True enough. I had an account on a Convex C2 supercomputer when I was in university which was very vectorised. In our department, we were able to mount the 9-track tapes ourselves. Yeah, that's how old I am!
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I kind of miss the days when supercomputers wern't just clusters of off the shelf components. I feel we've lost something.
If the system has a high confidence in suspicious behavior, what reasons would be there to wait for the crime to happen?
What about the man who decides to kill his wife's lover, but at the last minute cannot go through with it. He would no doubt fill the criteria of a 'futhure' guilty person although in the end, he would have done nothing.
RTFA. I think you'd notice if your Windows PC suddenly started displaying a Linux Foundation splash screen and waiting for you to hit Enter before booting the OS.
Then why can't a malware writer (Sony, etc) develop a similar minimal bootloader which looks like a Windows splash screen or regular BIOS screen with a 'press enter to continue'? A lot of users will not even be phased by that. This shows that secure boot is completely useless if it can be gotten around that easily.
We did real work on computers slower than current low end smartphones less than 20 years ago.
I don't know what kind of work you did, but around 10 yrs ago we would set up our computers to run overnight and hope the work would be done by the time you got in the next morning. Since then, the datasets we work with have easily grown 20-30 times larger.
People always voice their concern when they're against something but rarely express their opinion if they're for it. This makes it unfair comparison. Just saying..
And of course here's the way they'll look at it - 'only 19000 against in the entire population! Surely it must be liked by most then.'
AFAIK, all actual experiments point out that baryonic matter GAINS mass as it approaches C. Again, AFAIK, experiment always trumps theory, so explain to me how, after 100 years of confirmation, I some how missed the fact that matter loses mass as it gains velocity? I must have been on a vacation this passed century, someplace called REALITY.
You missed the part where it specified super-light travel, which means above the speed of light. Basically the equation says mass increases up to the speed of light, at which it is infinite, and then decreases from there as speed increases. The problem is jumping over the c barrier.
Lithium is mined, the same as Nickel. And in fact, Lithium does not occur as a high concentration ore, like Nickel does, so it takes a lot more rock to be mined to get small amounts of Lithium. I don't know the relative concentrations for Nickel vs Lithium for batteries per V capactity tho.
I think you're forgetting about the cost to feed and stable a horse. It's about $5000/yr according to a quick search I did. And you really don't want heaps of horseshit on all of the strrets now, do you?
Didn't even read the summary I see.. The study pointed out that the production of EVs has twice as much of an environmental impact as the production of typical gas-powered cars
Well... It's Foxcon (a Chinese company), not Apple, that's building the robotic factory. Plus they make things that get sold around the world, not just in the US.
So... it's Opt In for the Adverstisers, but they think it's not acceptible for web users to Opt In (and instead must Opt Out). Sounds like a bit of a double standard.
There used to be abuse@fbi.gov - but that's been ignored for almost a decade now.
Abuse email addresses are normally used to report spam or such coming from the domain. For instance if you were receiving spam from xxxx@fbi.gov, then that is the place to report it.
I'm just curious as to who would qualify for a requirement of equipment to be made in the US? And what's the definition of 'made' in this case anyway, since nearly all components except processor and GPU, will still be made overseas anyway and just assembled in the US.

Architectures.
It's the last word in the title.
So I'm suposed to read the whole title now!

Perhaps it's limited to phones at the moment? Surprised to see the Android version beat iOS considering MS has supported iOS much more in the past.
Indeed, TFA states that. I know - I'm so ashamed I actually read TFA.
This is my favorite:
Black Keys to Nickelback
Ah so it's - 'it's not a feature, it's a bug!'. An interesting twist!
The SSSS Eh? Isn't that carrying alliteration a little far?
Surely
How is it history if it has already happened once before?
Because this is the first time it was the second time it happened.
Modern US troops in Germany has far fewer pikes, muskets, and sabres available to them than were used centuries ago.
And there is an obvious inverse correlation with global warming! Those pikes, muskets, and sabres were preventing global warming!
Preaching to the choir!

So a succesful marketing plan - hardly a scam
Naw probably just dumped them in the sewer! Man these are extra heavy this time!
Sounds like the leaked Ocean's 14 script.
Those Canadians really are serious about their maple syrup.
Liquid gold, baby!
