Because it's invisible to the human eye? A poorly designed sensor that only detect stuff on the EM spectrum between 400-700 nm wavelength? (And in some people it can't even differentiate between red and green).
What does black ice look like on the IR spectrum? UV?
The more I read slashdotters comment on modern technology that some of us have experience with the less and less confidence that I have any of them know anything.
throw on to issue of when roads are COVERED in snow so you can't see lines to know where the road is, and no GPS isn't gonna help.
So how does a human stay on the road? We somehow manage with two (or one) optical sensor with limited range of view driven through a neural net that has limited bandwidth and slow propagation delay between nodes. In older cars without ABS or power steering you could sometimes add a 'touch' sensor to that because you could get feedback as to what was going on through the brakes or steering wheel.
Thermal sensors will know the temperature of all sections road within stopping distance. Cameras that can see stuff outside of the visible band of radiation will see the difference in reflection between ice and normal road. A 360 deg continuously LIDAR/RADAR will know the position and velocity of everything within stopping distance.
It won't be checking its texts, facebook, looking in the rearview mirror for 1/2 a second. "Black Ice" won't confuse it because it happens to be the same color as the road surface.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how they'll do. I really can't wait for the autonomous vehicle rally races.
After seeing how bad "Corporate Social Media Consultants" are on Reddit and nearly everywhere else I don't doubt it.
If it's anything like the Fortune 500 companies I've worked at it's a committee of 40+ year olds* that are also 10-15 years behind the wave of everything. "Hey I heard of this company called Slashdot. It's for techny people. I's really easy to make an account. Lets make something up, they'll never notice".
Based on how and when it was posted they're all at home right now patting themselves on the back for doing their 9-5 job. They'll come in tomorrow morning and sort it all out then.
*. I'm not saying that there aren't people in that age group that don't know their stuff. That's not the demographic I'm talking about. There are also a lot of younger people that don't understand the nuance of Slashdot as well. See Brianna Wu's AMA where the Twitter crowd had no clue how any of moderating worked and it was a hilarious shit show.
Tools are tools. People need to quit arguing over how a tool was made and just use them.
I use Jenkins daily, it's written in Java. It's great. I have no desire to ever learn Java but it doesn't mean I can't use Jenkins. I have tools written in JavaScript, C, C++, Matlab, Simulink, Python, Perl, PHP, et al. As long as I have a way of getting it fixed if it's broken I don't care.
Additionally there's good money to be made in supporting tools that everyone still uses. COBOL, Fortran, Assembly all still have a massive amount of technical debt that may never go away.
BLAS and LINPACK are used everywhere in Engineering tools. Numpy, Scipy, Matlab, Mathematica, et al are all just pretty wrappers on top of the FORTRAN that does the heavy lifting. It's why compiling from source also requires a Fortran compiler.
They've been vetted, tested, vetted more, and been running Engineering applications since the 70s.
ZFS for on disk storage. I've had a theseus RAIDZ2 pool for almost 6 years now that's moved multiple computers, OSs and drives and hasn't lost (that I can find) any of my Pictures.
Tape for archival. LTO-4 drives are fairly in expensive (compared to losing everything).
and New York says their new system also "removes high-risk drivers from the road," stressing that new licenses will no longer be issued until a photo clears their database.
Because no one has ever driven without a license. Especially those 'high risk drivers'.
The rechargeable battery for the built-in clock/calendar can be seen above with the 'bubbles'. It is glued down and soldered in, thus difficult to replace once it goes bad.
Clearly they intentionally did that just so you'd have to buy a whole new laptop if ONE part went bad. I hate it when OEMs don't make anything replaceable.
However part of that was built up over the years prior to the GPLv3, at which point they went out of their way to close a loophole that made Linux popular for certain projects.
If I was building a Tivo today I'd probably start with a BSD license. It's what Sony did with the PlayStation 4.
I left the workforce to stay at home with our son. I dropped down to making "80%" of my peers that didn't leave industry. Not because of my gender but because of a personal decision I made.
If you want to address the wage gap paying lip service to actual salaries isn't going to do anything.
Because of who the 'security' was against and when it was applied.
The server was insecure to the Russians, Iranians, and any 16 year old that figured out how to get in.
The server's data was secure against being used against her.
Had she had a secure server but never wiped it but just kept the hard drives in her basement I doubt that the Russians or Iranians would have been able to get to it.
It's like wearing a condom while tight rope walking. You're protected against *one* thing that may happen during the tight rope walk but it's not what you need to be worrying about.
Since at least 2003 ish for me. As soon as those "Replace your DVD drive" things came out for my MacBook Pro I got one and had 2 hard drives. The same goes for any other machine I buy that insists I have a DVD drive.
It means that to diagnose you they would need a different set of inputs to feed the algorithms. You could apply the same methodology to Slashdot posts, Usenet posts, hand written letters or any other output generated by you.
"Those people that used the word nihlist were 40% more likely to be depressed while those people that made less negative comments tended to be less of a dick."
Or is it indicative of me not basing my worth on what random people think about my every waking moment?
Yeah, because Slashdot provides no feedback mechanisms. It's only since Facebook and Instagram have people ever known what others on the internet think of them and what they post.
"It's hardly rare for companies to lose large sums of money as they try to build significant markets and battle for market share,"
How long did Amazon lose money? Uber's just collecting data until they can get rid of the drivers and their cars and move to their own self driven vehicles using the infrastructure they're building now.
Or you're intelligent to have accounts but not give away everything.
I take pictures of college club sporting events for fun and upload to all of the above. If they (the sites) want my birth day it's the same birthday I've had since I was 16, sometime in the 1920s. If they want a picture of "Me" it's my company's logo.
Facebook, Instagram, et al are not that different from Usenet and IRC. They only have the information you give them. It's not Usenet's fault if I decide to upload my home address to the service.
I started buying Canon gear specifically because of the UI. I had a cheap P&S and liked the menu (It was a massive improvement over Olympus). The UI has been consistent and in the same format on every Canon P&S and DSLR I've owned since then.
I wonder how many of these people were around during the iMac "USB Only" fiasco. The world ended, iMacs never sold or caught on, Apple was in dire straights...
Except that's not how it happened, companies started making USB accessories (targeted to the iMac market) and then those crazy ports started showing up on PCs.

Got any evidence that she was selling access?
Really? Given the title and subject matter your go to defense is "E-mails? What e-mails?"
And you know that accounts are not servers, right?
For example I have my own e-mail *account* hosted on *google's* servers.
account != server.
Slashdot should know better.
