An asian co-worker of mine who's family name is Teh has found that his name is almost impossible to type in tools like microsoft word, which auto correct Teh to The.
I spent weeks trying to buy my pebble a year ago. I would call around the shops and they might have just got ten watches in but by the time I got there they were gone. I wear mine when I need notifications from my phone directly on my wrist, usually when there is a lot stuff happening. But pebble may have been selling their products to a small group of people: geeky males who like to control their speakers from their watches, etc, and those people already have a pebble.
Anyone else feeling like the singularity is coming?
No, not really. None of these machines show emergence. They perform specific tasks well and nothing else. There are no Asimov style robot brains out there.
My thought was to use ammunition sales to pay for a medical insurance scheme. So when a doctor removes a bullet from a patient they read the serial number and make an insurance claim, thus paying for treatment.
The article doesn't say they used oxy cutters to get past the "protective cover", so how did he manage to swim past it? Surely a simple grating over the entrance would prevent divers getting in at all.
Any type of exercise which adds to your list of things to do during the day will eventually get dropped as a low priority. By removing a drive or public transport from your routine you make room for something which can make you healthier.
Think about how cheap electronic stuff from China can be. Take out the shock absorbers and replace them with electromagnetic devices. Take out the brakes (apart from maybe a single use emergency brake) and use regenerative braking with reverse power for low speed braking. You are left with the most reliable moving parts, which cuts down on costs. The determinant is cheap battery manufacture at high economies of scale.
My dad made a living working on electronics hardware but by the time he retired most of that work had gone to large scale factories in Asia. I work in software and my son may do something totally different. Thats progress for you.

Yeah he knows how to do that but all the other people typing his name (like at the power utility for example) have to learn it just for him.
You execute the code, parse the output and assume any field with the value "null" is null.
Yeah but I think it is more people sending documents to him which arrive as "Mr The". They don't even notice the autocorrect.
Hope the registration of your plane isn't FPL because thats part of the syntax of an ICAO flight plan creation message.

If South Korea are worried, it can't be because they didn't build a machine for playing Go before the Americans.

I doubt it has enough range to even reach South Korea.
Though this isn't a modern diesel electric boat. The US know exactly where it is.
Picture of NK submarine. Pretty sure this sub sunk on its own.
Anything installed on the train to allow operators to detect faults and track its location almost certainly works through a cellular data link.
My electricity is a service which I pay a private company for. Its a utility.
You'd think that at low tide the divers would get blown off the grate.
Meaning I suppose that the ponds were lower than sea level at high tide so water flowed in naturally.

I am just wrapping up a project with django+python on the back end, and angular on the front end. Works fine right now.
Take a shower from time to time.
That was about the time engineers from Kodak started jumping ship.

The problem there is shit motor controllers, not the battery chemistry.
