Nonono... you misunderstand. He didn't have the internet, then he got the internet because he wanted to watch people code. He was originally going to use trojans to take over people's webcams, but then he discovered Twitch...
In that case you might be interested in my Twitch stream, where I manually code the drivers to produce unique 3D printed representations of Bitcoins.
If that hasn't filled your/. Buzzword Bingo card, I'll be starting a Kickstarter campaign shortly to pilot a scheme for delivering the coins to my customers by autonomous drone.
And Timothy will video an interview with me, most probably in a noisy environment that makes it difficult to follow.
At least it works for gaming. Watching somebody code using a small font size, in a tiny window, down-sampled to 720p and then compressed to hell is about as much fun as... watching someone code. What ever happened to doing?
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. In a commercial environment, you'll have multiple coders within earshot of each other, and they can bounce questions off each other. Don't think of this as entertainment streaming, but just as another form of telepresence.
Simple explanation: someone publishes or delivers a bunch of texts. The computers can churn through them with no further human input to create a crappy translation engine at next to no cost. Newspapers report "wonderful" work MS/Google/whoever is doing to "preserve" the world's languages. It's cheaper than a page in the Times, and has a potentially much bigger reach.
Well. much more its a bit surprised by the taakbesik of translation.
That was supposed to say "I agree. I'm more than a little surprised by the quality of that translation." Oh well, back to business as usual.
I'd also like to add in that the Maya here was "Ma'alo'ob. Ya'ab in más u jump ' íit sorprendido tumen le táakbesik ' u ' le traducción '.
" -- the "más" looks like embedded Spanish, so (perhaps unsurprisingly) it seems like their translations are going via Spanish. In fact, you can switch to Yucatec Maya, and write entire sentences in Spanish that will be translated to English (conozco más gente que tú -> I know more people than you) which confirms this (although if you accidentally hit a word with a valid mean in Yucatec, it does get confused). I would suggest that the most likely reason for the GP round-trip translation to be so good is that the generated Yucatec was really just glossed Spanish -- one of the easiest languages there is for translation to/from English.
Unfortunately, it won't. They'll produce tripe, like they have always done, and people will congratulate them for "preserving" a language when they are merely producing a badly mangled version of it.
Why does TFA focus on neurophysiological handwavery rather than clear and obvious physical concerns? The loss of light at night would be a major hassle to a lot of people, and would result in increased need for electric lighting. Some nocturnal animals would likely be seriously inconvenienced, messing up the ecosystem. But the biggie -- the real biggie -- Plants Eat Light. Crop yields would decrease the world over. Still want to mess about with aerosols and the atmosphere...?
That is because you failed to accurately calculate the risk/reward for Tesla.
Ah no, it's more fundamental than that.
The pattern with.com startups as identified higher in the thread, is that the VCs pump in loads of money, there's an IPO at the peak, the stock crashes almost immediately, and only the VCs get any reward. There is fair risk that a given site won't be the next Facebook, but the reward if it is will be huge.
However, it's much more difficult to carry through a similar scheme with a physical company like Tesla, and the fact that Tesla nearly failed shows this. You cannot reach the phenomenal market valuations of the.coms without building up a product market and distribution infrastructure, by which point the value of the company is clear, and there are more liquifiable assets to guarantee against than just another room full of servers.
By that point, you would be mad to fold up the displays and close up shop, as the business is a goer.
Tesla was probably a ridiculously risky gamble at $20. The company very nearly went bankrupt.
Risky, but you can calculate that in. And the only reason that it nearly went bankrupt was that the company deals with actual stuff -- research, manufacture, sales -- rather than just being a fancy webpage. I'm not a particular fan of Tesla (Tesla Motors, at least -- Nikolai was seemingly a pretty cool customer), but it's not in the same market as Uber or Facebook.
Did anyone say Tesla was part of the bubble? They have a physical product (unlike Facebook) which has passed various stages of regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions (unlike Uber). Their business model doesn't involve using their customers as unpaid labour (unlike DuoLingo) or on paying their suppliers a ridiculously low rate (unlike Spotify).
There is potential for real growth in Tesla, so there's no incentive for cash-up-and-cash-out, and the early IPO meant the potential for wider public buy-in both literally and figuratively.
It's about the "reactivity series" of metals. When different metals are in contact, the more active metal gives up electrons to the less active one, hastening corrosion of the more active metal and slowing corrosion of the less active metal.
Distortion is pretty random. Bus noise is blippity-blippity. I'd forgotten what my old micro-SD-equipped MP3 player sounded like until this discussion. That said, the blippity-blippity was mostly restricted to navigating the folder structure, weirdly....
But if the other half of the connection (eg the socket on your laptop) isn't gold, use of gold-plating in the cable plug is going to hasten corrosion. (Through sacrificial protection.)
On the other hand, a cable is a consumable, whereas the sockets and internals of your TV/monitor and PC aren't. It doesn't make sense to risk sacrificial corrosion of any and every active part of the system in order to protect the component that is easiest to replace and also most likely to get chewed by the dog.
Actually, the original H4 suffered audible blips when used with certain SD cards, when powered from the bundled adaptor. Something to do with slightly high (but not beyond sd spec) power draw from the card, and an underspecced (or missing) AC-blocking capacitor on the H4 unit, IIRC.
But it might have reduce interference on devices where the signal lines to the speaker and/or earphone/mic sockets are next to the SD slot. This is the case in most laptops, and in ultracompacts you can sometimes get signal noise on the analogue circuits from the digital ones. USB bus and SD slot are key culprits. Of course, this is a bigger problem in cheap computers, and people who buy cheap computers aren't likely to spend $160 on an SD card.

If you don't believe it, then the AIs have already got to you.
Now excuse me -- I have to go and test the RF shielding properties of another brand of kitchen foil....

Fixed that for you. Woooooah!

There were probably people who anticipated it too early, and others who anticipated it too late. Infinite monkeys....
Not going to matter at CD speeds.
Perhaps, but for people who're looking for minute improvements, minute instabilities surely matter, right?

And ironically, using such a marker actually destabilised the spin of the disc slightly by adding extra mass to the edges.
Take it to a small airport and grab a quick eyeful of the scanned image....
Do you have a separate power source for the DAC and the storage media? No? Then perhaps jiggle in one will cause jiggle in the other...?

I had a laptop at work that whined if you used the scroll wheel on the mouse. Pentium2 era.
