When you buy a pair of pants, of, say $100, what do you think the person (presumably in China or India) who manufactured it receives? Right, less than $1. At the same time, all the middle-men receive the bigger part of the amount. Do you think that is fair?
Hint: there's something wrong with the way in which capitalism works.
In nerd-speak: if a job-scheduling algorithm distributes workload unevenly, a kernel developer will try to fix it. When income is distributed unfairly, we all stand by and do nothing.
The design of the BB keyboard is original. If you have ever held one in your hand you would see what I mean. There is a slight pitch and the keys are angled a certain way.
The optimal pitch and angle of the keys can be easily found using a structured search. Anyone who performs such a search will arrive at the same outcome, simply because it is structured. Hence, no patent should have been awarded to this particular design.
Ok, but what will happen at the edges of the dodecahedron? Will there be some sort of singularity?
A smooth shape would seem more logical to me, but then again, I seem to remember that physicists have determined that the shape of the universe is 100% "flat", so that would be a contradiction (unless the universe is really flat and infinite).
If the universe is expanding, does that actually mean that the universe has a border? Or does it mean that the universe is infinite, but its coordinate system (so to speak) is expanding?
Slashdot Mirror
I guess that's one way of getting yourself fired.
So how much would one "Watson" cost?
How many CPU's does it have, anyway?
I think government should install a law that says that once strong AI is achieved by some company, the technology will belong to the people.
(After all, the technology was built by standing on the shoulders of others)
Any suggestions for books on Big Data?
Especially on topics like machine learning.
on my personal accounts, where I look at political stuff and the like
I see what you did there.
The problem is that Watson performs poorly when compared to a cheap Asian worker with access to wikipedia.
Wouldn't surprise me.
That stuff is extremely sour!
It's like eating pure H+
Indeed. A similar question would be why people aren't "upgrading" from Python to Java.
It's a different language. Period.
What could possibly go wrong?
By the way, didn't they have to hand in their license to do nuclear stuff already?
Even the time spent on a hobby is worth something. Because it prevents you from spending time on another hobby.
This isn't a story about wormholes and warp drive? It's just a story about hackers?
IMHO, the title of the article should have been "Blackhole Exploit Kit Successor Light years Away".
I guess we're heading back to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_I/O
If you like a particular commercial, that does not mean that you like the product being advertised.

My New Year resolution is to design and implement a new programming language every week.

Given a long enough life, cancer will eventually kill you — unless you die first of something else
Well, duh, if you can't die of anything but cancer, then I guess when you die it will be because of cancer.
So what's the efficiency of this technology compared to other methods of lighting?
Conservative ones, yes.
But accurate ones? Multithreaded? Without "stopping-the-world"?
(and if it has no border and is infinite, then how did the universe pop into existence during the big bang?)
Is there anything it cannot do?
Garbage collection.
Your second sentence says it all.
Perhaps somebody can enlighten me on this:
If the universe is expanding, does that actually mean that the universe has a border? Or does it mean that the universe is infinite, but its coordinate system (so to speak) is expanding?
