Ahem.. It's pretty easy to just watch someone type in their passcode. You can even use a video recording device if you don't trust your ability to discern it at first glance or if you want to do it from a considerable distance. That'd be pretty unintrusive and you won't need physical access to the device or the owner.
It takes many many days, some say nine months until a human barely survives without intense support from a highly trained and specilized host.
And at least several more months, some say years, until it does anything productive. All the while it's constantly updated with new hardware.
So.. shall we give this project a bit more time before we deem it useless?
Except you're totally wrong. IBMs POWER processor are entirely PowerPC to this day and have bee so since the mid 1990s (POWWER2 was the last POWER processor that was not PowerPC). The latest POWER9 is using the third version of the PowerPC instruction set.
You are right though that they hardly cared for PowerPC the desktop space, and entirely right if you meant the consumer computer space.
Or.. they could just pay the corporations to use their workers? Say like.. contract work? You know.. how capitalism work, and not, dare I say it.. communism?
Because the photo technology that reproduced color hadnâ(TM)t been invented yet. No one knew that that was a something to care about until colors were invented.
Seemed reasonable at the time, but now we wish they had thought a bit outside the spectrum.
Yes, it's hard to get approval to shoot thousands of people in a tube dug underground across several legislative jurisdictions. I wonder why? What could possibly go wrong is such scenario? Could people die? Could the tunnel compromise sensitive locations? Could the tunnel disrupt plans already set in motions by the in-between communities? I think it's perfectly fair to make this difficult, and I think Musk is tenacious enough to see it through, and by junmping through the hoops make an even better product than if a more laissez faire attitude towards other people were the standard.
A octopus-like robot with highly articulated arms/legs, and with dito hands could operate door nobs, guns, sit, drive cars, wear pants, use hand signals, open bottles, etc.. You don't need to be bi-pedal, two arms and have a head to do any of the things you mentioned.

Can someone explain to me why a humanoid configuration would be the best form such a robot would come in? Seems so me that this form we have has some pretty severe downsides that can be accounted for if we had the opportunity to redesign us for military purposes.
We fall over easily, have a hard time getting up, have limited locomotion options, have limited FOV, only two tool manipulating appendages with limited articulation and action range, don't float, can't jump good or fly, exposed compute/sensory hub, etc..
I'd go with a more octopus like configuration with for example six appendages with independent compute/sensory complexes, and that can be used for locomotion, recon, tool manipulation or just as backup looks nothing like a bipedal humanoid.
I agree with your assessment of the paper. It's amazing to see that the Mac is targeted by a total of 450.000 malware, while there's a total of a wopping 625 million targeting all platforms. That's less than 0.1% of all malware targeting the Mac.
Yes.. let's talk about how infested the Mac is one more time.. Any decade now the threat will become meaningful.
For you who this isn't completely obvious:
This is entirely about mobile GPUs.
This has nothing about Apple trying to dominate AMD or Nvidia in the desktop space.
While I get your point, the population of Sweden just past 10 million, and Sydney, Australia's largest city is just shy of 5 million.
I don't entirely agree with your point though.. If an entire country moves from one payment system to another, it's a larger deal compared to a very large city since a country is a more complete economic system than a city. And if one country makes it work, then the method will be easier to emulate in another. A city on the other hand is not governed in a nearly as complicated fashion as a country so that's not as big of a deal no matter how large a city.
Wow!
Almost all new buses built the past few years have USB ports for charging, at least in western Sweden where the Volvo buses are built.
What is there to test? Just do it!
There doesn't seem to be anything in particular with this SoC that's been tailored to run Windows, so the premise of the article is turned upside down. It isn't the SoC that's capable of running Windows, it's Windows capable of running on this particular SoC. If they can get Windows running on this, then they could get Windows running on about any ARMv8 based device, given device specific drivers.
Apple are allowing other web rendering engines. They just aren't allowing engines running arbitrary code on their plaform. That includes Java, Flash, JavaScript and emulators.
It's the "running arbitrary code" that's the problem, not rendering web pages or showing WebM movies. You are allowed to make such apps.
It seems that Netflix has delivery servers on the Faroe islands north of the UK and south of Iceland. I guss they would need that for its 50.000 residents Since they only have one in China and none i countries like Portugal, Turkey and Israel, that seems reasonable.
The are probably using mean red shift to measure the distance. The collective light of all the stars in the galaxy are together red shifted a certain amount that's a direct indication of how far away the galaxy is due to the expanding universe. The farther away the galaxy, the more red shift there is. And, one can measure speeds due to red shift very very accurately, down to tens of meters per second. The error bars here are that the far away galaxy can have a local movement that's unknown, but if the galaxy is a part of a cluster, that factor can be measured and accounted for.
This is the most common and simplest way of measuring distance to galaxies, invented by Edwin Hubble in the 30s.
The second most common is using Type 1A super novas, but they have to appear to be used, and.. that's a fluke incident, more commonly used to calibrate and confirm the red shift measurements.
There's no way you could use parallax effect to measure distance on a galactic scale. We can measure about 1 milli arc-second with space based telescopes, and that accounts for a distance of 1000 parsecs, i.e. ~30.000 light years. Hence we cant even use it for measuring distance to all stars within the Milky Way.
The Russian Be-42 is also larger and is amphibious. This plane isn't largest anything however you slice and dice it.
It's fuselage is suspiciously similar to Be-42 too.. China has a habit of building Russian aircraft with local modifications, like the wing and motors in this case.
This is excellent. I think they should combine a plant like this with wind turbines and wave plants as well. They won't hinder one another, and they could reuse a lot of infrastructure and space.

A human brain rarely does something spectacular the first days of being turned on.

Thatâ(TM)s when you crash probes into Mars, instead on gently inserting them into orbit. 350.000 feet = 100 kilometers.

Nothing about that makes any sense.

Ireland became an EEC member in 1973, before Apple existed.

This sounds like an excellent complementary feature for malware to trigger for a DoS attack.
