But given the amount of money at stake, my neural network is faster/better then yours. So mine can always out-guess what yours will do and I can get to the market ahead of you.
machine learning is more about forecasting than about understanding the effects of policy
And forecasting depends on some underlying behavioral model. Problem is, people keep changing the model. They try to anticipate or short markets to gain an advantage and very rapidly, this new response to market conditions replaces the previous behavior, invalidating previous relationships.
In the short-term, the human driver can take over in these situations.
But the human 'driver', freed of the need to keep tabs on traffic is probably doing something else.
Yesterday, I was coming home through the daily traffic jam. Heading eastbound, I saw a van stopped in the westbound lane, backing up traffic. I figured it had broken down or something until I passed it. The driver had his nose in his phone, busily texting away (or playing Angry Birds). He probably figured that he'd get something else done while the line wasn't moving and failed to notice that it had started again.
And murder committed in the comission of another crime is treated as aggravated murder. Even if you didn't pull the trigger but only drove the getaway car, if the bank guard got killed, you can be found guilty.
The theft is the aggravating offense. Bridges caused someone to attempt murder. So he should be charged with aggravated attempted murder.
The wallets can be anonymous. But it's a simple matter to trace Bitcoin through a series of wallets. Once the real owner of one of these is identified, one can trace certain transactions back the other way.
For Bitcoin to be of any use, eventually it will be spent on actual goods. And these can be traced. Very few people have the discipline to maintain multiple completely separate lives.
Yes, GRUB is an improvement over LILO. But it still just does the one thing: Loads and boots a selected O/S. It doen't break other systems or apps. In that sense, it's adoption is nothing like systemd.
... Duwamps, Washington. I mean Seattle is named after a native American. But why Doc Maynard figured it would be a good idea to change the original name I will never understand.
stating a random, completely unsuitable, feature of init.
But the parent poster stated:
you could change graphics modes on low battery
that's all supported by init. From the init man page:
If init is not in single user mode and receives a powerfail signal (SIGPWR), it reads the file/etc/powerstatus. It then starts a command based on the contents of this file:
F(AIL) Power is failing, UPS is providing the power. Execute the power†wait and powerfail entries.
O(K) The power has been restored, execute the powerokwait entries.
L(OW) The power is failing and the UPS has a low battery. Execute the powerfailnow entries.
My laptop has co-opted these modes for line/battery/low battery conditions. The screen backlight and blanking are controlled by power state, as well as an orderly shutdown on a low battery. Not exactly the original intent of these signals (which was UPS status handling for servers). But smart people who can read man pages got it to work quite nicely. Without systemd or launchd. So, no. Its neither random nor unsuitable.
It's not about saving 5 seconds. Its about not having a registry. Windows users and admins are stamping their little feet because no registry. And its about writing and installing start/stop scripts. Shell scripts. Windows doesn't have (practical) shell scripts. Windows is not made up of lots of little single purpose utilities than can be piped together, call other shell scripts or executables, handle I/O and return values. And all without having to worry about whether the utility was implemented as a binary executable or a script. And you can read and process logs (text logs) using shell scripts. You can raise alarms or run special handlers based on the contents of those logs.
If the goal of systemd creators is to slowly move users back to Windows, these are all capabilities that need to be eliminated. So UNIX/Linux users can't use them as reasons not to move.
I just skimmed TFA (Pottering's rambling really don't make much
sense anyway). By "fully isolated", it sounds like machinectl breaks the audit trail that su has always supported (not being 'fully isolated' by design). Many *NIX systems are configured to prohibit root logins from anything other than the system console. And the reason that su doesn't do a 'full login' either as root or another user is to maintain the audit trail of who (which system user) is actually running what.
Lennart, this UNIX/Linus stuff appears to be way over your head. Sure, it seems neat for lots of gamers who can't be bothered with security and just want all the machine cycles for rendering FPS games. Perhaps you'd be better off playing with an XBox.

So, the smart move is to go long on GPU/FPGA manufacturers. A manufacturer would be wise to name their new, high performance chip set Tulip*.
*This appears to have been done already, albeit for Ethernet hardware.

Right. Old trick
I want all of my messages to have a happy ending.
OK. How are Google cars at handling roundabouts?

it's plain simple theft.

Do one thing and do it well.

By the time Microsoft got to a UI, it was like the shopping cart that got passed around the hobo camp.
systemd now supports a su command functional and can create privileged sessions that are fully isolated from the original session.

Sorry. Slashdot's latest rev appears to have supressed subject lines and titles once I open a thread. I posted to the wrong tab.
