Yes, but I think what people are getting at here is that current policies appear to be so fucked up that the team who implemented them may be unlikely to implement new processes and controls that are any better than they have already done. I've seen that sort of stuff in a few places, (notably government owned corporations - worst of both worlds) where management have been chosen for reasons other than ability.
As shown by this incident that sort of mismanagement is often self-correcting, but it's a shame that so many others have to go down with the ship when the place goes under.
Snowden and Manning leaked during the Obama administration, so it looks like I did do the same thing instead of your projected view of what you would do.
Yes. There have been a lot of denials of what her information claims to be true so she released it to citizens to deny official propaganda. It's about putting country before King - something George Washington was keen on.
You've chosen the losing team
Actually no, it was your duty to vote and not mine. However you appear to be putting a Party ahead of your country - how Soviet of you!
But at the same time, she's leaking sensitive information that's not her place to decide on.
It may be a stupid action, I have no idea, but when this material of national importance is being denied at the highest levels maybe it's time to get the word out and put the country first instead of the chain of command.
After "Darl McBride" of SCO infamy, "Oral Roberts" and so many more it's clear that weird names are just something people do in America. Her actions in putting her own country before Russia should be considered before making fun of her name.
There's more news to come I'm sure - stay tuned for more Russian backchannel action.
Wow - two responses that only give me very disappointing insights into the posters and their misconceptions and redefinitions instead of the topic. It's not about you. It's not about me either. Try harder guys.
The appearance of intelligence
Appearance has only limited applications compared with the real thing.
Sadly it's just like "hoverboards" and "nanotechnology" - something that looks only slightly like what the term used to mean is now wearing the label.
Then again I could be wrong because I think people might have been calling the Eliza bot "A.I." some time back. Current stuff called "A.I." is no more intelligent than that bot that would throw out different outputs based on the input. The pattern matching is just a bit more elaborate and there are now databases behind it to improve the pattern matching over time. As for "neural nets", they were not new when I heard people raving about them in the 1980s - just providing an appearance of intelligence by eventually getting things right via brute force matching.
I wouldn't worry about A.I. taking over, I'd worry more about a few more decades of disappointment about not having anything that can even match the intelligence of a single insect.
What happened? Oh that's right, people were afraid to call police/terrorist tiplines/etc for fear of being labeled "racist" because muslim

What is the point of lying about it?
It takes a very special sort of person to blame others for your own words. Are you sure you want to keep on being that sort of person? What would your parents think of you turning into that sort of person?
The Paris accord is voluntary so the only benefit of dropping out was for appearances. Appearances of course are the entire game for Trump - not much help for anyone else though.
Fair enough, but I have difficulty in seeing anything near the planning ability required for such a plan anywhere near them. "The Thick of It" with a string of fuckups over trivia was starting to look a lot like a documentary.
Nice little theory, but a far far simpler one is that May got greedy when the opinion polls made it look like she could vastly increase her majority by calling an election early. Boring slimy politics as usual.
especially political stories from outisde the US is that it's interesting to read american commentary on these matters.
Maybe, but it typically just leads to smug and superior feelings IMHO because the people with more than half a clue are aware of their shortcomings - leaving an unrepresentive bunch of the politically naive spouting bullshit. The relativism of thinking that everyone's opinion is equally informed has really soaked in there for some strange reason.
My humble opinion is; If the 300 MPG Carburetor was snake oil, the company men would have just told him it was BS.
We didn't tell the artist his modification was BS because if we did he'd just call us part of the "conspiracy". We let him down gently and gave him enough hints that he eventually worked it out for himself.
Seriously kids - with the amount of competition in the automotive market back then do you really think a car company would sit on a magic system that would massively improve fuel economy - especially during the oil shock? GM would have given anything (apart from replacing dud management) to get their market share back from the Japanese manufacturers.
Sloot's program was "lost" because it never existed, just like the magic 300 mpg carburetors where the plans were "lost".
Offtopic maybe, but I had a guy with something like that bring it in to the University where I worked for independent testing. He was an artist with not a lot less technical skill than a mechanic, and paranoid as anything, but he couldn't hide what he'd done. The trick (on the perpetrator more than anyone else) is to tune the engine for maximum efficiency at idle - thus it uses very little fuel on a test bed with no load. Once you attempt to get it to do something useful it actually uses more fuel than if you hadn't messed around with it in the first place. Those people "knew it was real" - they had seen it in action in a test, and in their minds there was only some tiny little glitch that was keeping it from working in practice. Anyone with an actual clue about engines that attempted to point out problems was apparently part of a conspiracy.
Broadcast quality was probably 320*240, or the PAL equivalent
Why bitmaps? It could have been vector graphics using a range of primatives to match regions of the image. I was using a thing that built up vector graphics from bitmaps in the late 1980s on an Atari ST FFS. Considering who he saw as the market it didn't have to be computationally cheap, encoding for days was not out of the question. Decent hardware and a lot of time can make a lot of approaches that seem ridiculous on a home PC make sense. It's fun to speculate I suppose and I'm expressing what I see as a more likely option not suggesting that the others are wrong.
Yeah, it's not completely insane to think that a really brilliant fractal technique could do some amazing lossy compression, but the amount of CPU required to encode and render it would be insane.
We're kind of living with insane computing power in our phones these days. That said, it never seems to be enough for some things.
1/ Never heard of it before thus no opinion - odd question to ask since so many will also have no opinion. 2/ If it is lost then it's technically irrelevant even if historically interesting.
Remember that part where you implied that religion = race
That was you, here it is:
What happened? Oh that's right, people were afraid to call police/terrorist tiplines/etc for fear of being labeled "racist" because muslim
I disagreed very strongly with that statement of yours. You've now twisted that strong disagreement into some sort of agreement that there is a race called muslim or some other bizzare shit - talk about getting things backwards and inside out!
It's a special kind of pathetic to be attacked by someone for something you have not only not done but they have done themselves.

Yes, she'd prefer the USA to be run along the values of George Washington and not a Tsar - definitely political but what exactly is wrong with that?
It's not just R vs D here. It's gone international. Do you really want to back a side other than the home team?
It may be a stupid action, I have no idea, but when this material of national importance is being denied at the highest levels maybe it's time to get the word out and put the country first instead of the chain of command.
No.
It tipped off the public.
The Russians appear to have already known and already put pressure on to stop the investigations.

Here's another.
If they don't cancel something arbitrarily mid-season whether it's good or not, it's probably Netflix.

sux 2bu. I finished my beers hours ago and I'm with a hooker now. It's double-D day!
I'm kind of getting sick of all these Presidential tweets.
You - the "pentagon crash was faked" guy - see yourself as an "A-type" person?
There's distributions out there like ROCKS for rolling out the software side of clusters quickly.

Nice try, but the piles of blatantly partisan shit you have sprayed around argue otherwise.
