...while I agree, the next step is that applications start crashing when you revoke their permissions, or the authors simply refuse to let them run.
Aha, but there's a trick the OS can play to avoid that: simply pretend that the permission has been granted. In case of text-messages, simply give the app access to an empty list of messages (keeping the real list of messages completely separated from it).
If Deep Mind really has the knowledge and capability to form strong AI, then this is a smart move. Deep Mind could have become the next Google.
However, I find it unacceptable that big mega-corps just go out and buy companies with talent. Just imagine what the world would have looked like when Microsoft had bought Google when it was in its infancy...
Because thermodynamics is all about statistics. This means that even if life-formation goes against the laws of thermodynamics, it still is possible, however remote the probability.
This theory, may, however, be useful in predicting the probability of life forming under certain circumstances.
Facebook has used the same techniques as Princeton, and as such we can conclude that they approve of these techniques, and find them useful analytical instruments.
The only conclusion we can draw from this is the demise of both Princeton and Facebook.
Embedding a language at such a low level is very tricky.
Nobody said kernel development would be easy:)
Now lets look at topics around these highly extensible languages. Here you have a system that in part is supposed to improve security. But by adding in a language like python you are adding in a very extensible lnaguage at a very low level.
And D-Wave told BBC News the tests set by the scientists were not the kinds of problems where quantum computers offered any advantage over classical types
From the abstract:
We illustrate our discussion with data from a randomized benchmark test on a D-Wave Two device with up to 503 qubits.
What is a randomized benchmark test? What is randomized? The algorithm itself? Then I guess that's not a good test. And was D-Wave not involved in the study?
Probably because of the extremely high performance requirements. There's a lot of packets going through a 10Gbit interface and if you run some Python code for each of them you're gonna choke the machine.
That would be true if it were impossible to compile Python code to something efficient.
And the style of code used above (and typical network configuration scripts) would compile to something very efficient. In fact, a compiler can compile that code to the current configuration language whenever possible.
This release includes nftables (the successor of iptables)
Why does every network management tool include their own ugly, broken little programming language for configuring it?
Why not just use an existing language?
Like, when I get a packet from the network, I can just use Python: if packet.origin == "127.0.0.1":
packet.drop() elif packet.port == 80:
packet.forward(port = 1024)

You don't need to make a wheel.
Just hook up two stations using a tether of any length, then rotate.
(Like Katatsumuri already mentioned above).
So, an alternative design that would use less material is two stations tethered together and rotating around a common center.
The best solution, I'd say. Simple and elegant.

There, problem solved.
I predict this UI technology will be "invented" by Apple precisely at the moment we have all forgotten about this movie.
I really don't get this so perhaps someone can explain: What benefit does this have for anybody?
I guess it could be therapeutic for people with exceptional nostalgia towards the days of mainframe computing.
an operating system like Samantha as depicted in the film isn't that far off
First they outsource our jobs. Then they outsource our women too?
Actually it would be nice to have a "best of slashdot" section here.
Twodrive, Threedrive, etc. The possibilities are (literally) endless!
Yes, but only countably endless.
This kind of thing doesn't happen, because the kind of startup that looks attractive to an existing megacorporation
DEC could have bought Google in the time (as they already had developed and marketed Altavista).
It would not have been unrealistic.

So actually Tor software should warn the user when plaintext stuff is being sent over the network.
This could be difficult to accomplish. But one easy way is to simply detect plaintext HTTP headers.
It's always good to hear that the world's largest software firm has a higher revenue than the world's largest advertisement firm.
Regardless of whether it is MS or not.

What is the problem with that? Google uses YOUR information without asking you first...

real-world data speeds of 1.4 Terabits per second over an existing commercial-grade 410km fiber optic link.
Meaning the link can store only 1.4 Tb/s * 410km / c = 239 MB. (Where c is the speed of light in the fiber link).
Bah, that's nothing.
My idea was that the firewall merely invokes the sandbox. It is not running inside the sandbox...
If you just show some time-lapse videos of plants to vegetarians, they will think again :)

Is the thing actually Turing complete (in the practical sense)?

You could run it all inside a sandbox, I suppose.
Anyone got a link to the actual paper?
I wonder if this can be used for image compression. Because if you know e.g. what a bicycle looks like, you don't have to compress it.
