Yeah mail is distributed today by scanning it and OCRing the text of the addresses. Only when OCR fails does a human operator get called to recognize the text. I have heard reports from a long time back that governments often checked the contents of mail of certain people. Fact is you can read the contents of a lot of letters without opening them at all.
For most jobs in theory you can just fake your degrees. But if you get caught you are often in deep doo-doo, as lying on your resume is a bad thing.
Man don't say things like that. That is a good way to get a major black spot in your resume. This business is smaller than some people realize. Next time you try getting a job it will probably be of the kind where you say 'do you want that with fries or not?'.
They were worse off a couple of years back. Now that they have the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 as a steady revenue stream they won't go bankrupt any time soon. Stock ticker prices are also mostly irrelevant. AMD historically has been a company which seldom has had a single profitable year. If you take their financial performance as the sole indicator they should have gone bankrupt decades ago.
I don't know about today but when I bought my AMD CPU a year or two back they had the higher integer performance and the FP performance matched Intel on a price per price basis. i.e. Intel had processors with better FP performance but they cost 2x or 3x more. Not worth the trouble when most FP intensive applications have been changing to use GPGPU acceleration.
I once went to Microsoft for a meeting and was talking with someone. They had my entire work profile stored in there. I never gave it to them nor did I ever apply for a position in Microsoft. They have a profile database on everyone they have even a tangential connection with.
Actually I run an AMD processor. So what if it had half the FP power. Most FP intensive applications I use have GPU acceleration. Oh and yeah it was cheaper than an Intel processor with the same integer performance. Heck it was cheaper than an Intel processor with the same FP performance. That's how expensive Intel processors are these days.
If you got a yourself a PS4 or a Xbox One you are using an AMD processor.
The data caches are not shared. Each core has a separate data cache. The decoder is the same so they share the instruction cache. But AMD's instruction caches are 64 KB while Intel uses 32 KB sized instruction caches.
This idea is hogwash. They used to conduct lobotomies on prisoners at once point. If the purpose behind limited sentences is to rehabilitate a prisoner you cannot do that by turning them into vegetables or hardened criminals which is what this person is proposing would do. Her '1000 year' sentence, assuming it had no other side effects which I seriously doubt, would either turn these people into raging lunatics or they would get so disconnected from real life that they would probably start dispensing their own vengeance once they came out of jail.
If she killed her kid when she was 27 years old and gets 30 years jail she will come out of jail with 57 years and most likely cannot have a kid again. Which means she cannot even do the exact same crime again at all. No need to do stupid shit.
Removing data points that did not fit their model, apply transformations to the data points that are not uniform across the entire dataset, using a filter that generates the same output even if the input was noise. Need I go on?
As for Noah's Ark... that legend is enshrined in several mythologies including the Epic of Gilgamesh. There is also proof that there was substantial flooding in the area between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates so it could have well been one of those events. So the whole world didn't flood but it might as well represent a large flooding event in a given area of the globe.
People used to think Schliemann was nuts too then he found the ruins of Troy at Hisarlik. Fact is most legends have some basis on real historical events. Thing is since most of them were passed along orally for generations before being written down a lot of the information ends up getting distorted.
A lot of MScs consist of reproducing published results as it is. The problem is not enough time and resources to conduct proper peer review before publishing.
I think its ok that they improve it before selling it. I remember the VR fad in the 90s. The helmets were too expensive, they worked with next to no software, and they were nausea inducing. If they can fix all of that, which I doubt, they have a win. I did try the Occulus Rift a couple of weeks back and it was better than I expected but it wasn't comfortable to use for extended periods.
About time too. All their games catalog which runs on DOSBox and ScummVM should be easy enough to port. Other games have portable engines too like GemRB.
GOG is a vendor that sells DRM free games so more power to them.
The parallels are just too striking to dismiss that analogy out of hand. Failed Empire that was ruined and embittered in the previous war? Check. Dubious claims of harassment of German/Russian citizens in a neighboring country? Check. False flag operations? Check. 'Spontaneous' movement of said citizens to join the Fatherland/Motherland? Check. Major military industrial capacity soon to be annexed and possibly exploited to annex even more neighboring nations? Check.
You do know Antonov and the Malyshev Factory are located in the Ukraine right?

Read the Wikipedia pages on 'Operation Nickel Grass' and 'Yom Kippur War'.
it was russian before ussr even existed.
So was Finland. While Kaliningrad was German. etc.
I think a new David Packard and John Boyd are needed too. Instead of this one plane fits all McNamara bullshit.
Well the Germans also had the Sturmgewehr 44. They only detail is they did not manufacture as many rifles.
It is flight ready. But the electronics controlling the weapon systems can fire *some* AA missiles and that is it. An F-16 replacement it is not.
Maybe in 4-5 years when they finish rewriting all that Ada code in C++.
So does this article come from the same people who made pluripotent cells by bathing them in acid or not?
LinkedIn did not even exist back then. They have their own internal database for stuff like that.

I know some ATMs that used to use MS-DOS. How's that for security?
Doctors? Cheap? Where?
Yeah. It only became a puppet state like the Republic of Abkhazia.
Puerto Rico joined the US though.
At least it is being manufactured in the USA man.

There is a difference between vengeance and isolating society from criminals to prevent them from committing the same crime again.

Work for hire. It isn't his to begin with. Plus he probably had code he did not write there too.
