A lot of prey is faster than the hunter. Canines and most felines will in many cases simply outlast their prey before taking it over. It's probably why humans survived so long, because we developed stamina. Humans can run and hide for outstanding amounts of time whether that is hunting or being hunted.
Predators in the wild need to account for energy spent vs energy gained as well as the danger of the prey having enough stamina to fight back when the hunt is over, predators will tend to give up soon if the prey isn't losing energy fast enough.
The question is not necessarily how fast they ran but how long they could run for. Since the T-Rex is an overgrown chicken, I believe it could very well have ran for quite some time because birds are very well adapted to conserve energy.
Does it send every site I visit to Google to check against some scammer database? Does it internally recognize the Google logo? I can't imagine that there is some HTML magic sauce that makes one site appear legitimate while the other isn't so there will be simple ways to avoid detection.
The problem is that ISPs refuse to allow large bandwidth providers to peer at higher rates with them. Additionally Obama era net neutrality rules allowed those same ISPs to zero rate their own content providers which is now on the chopping blocks.
The main problem are the Obama-era mergers of baby bells into what soon will be AT&Comcast and it doesn't seem like Trump or Hillary have any intention to stop that.
I would like for this FCC to not just remove the Obama regulations of zero rating but simply remove all regulations, both federally and locally of small players on the market. They can simply do this by taking back the profits the people have so far funded through various taxes, tax breaks and grants but have not been realized into fiber and copper in the ground by these companies, then rent out the usage of the utility to various companies.
The current net neutrality rules extend common carrier even to those that zero-rate (prefer) their own content. This was done early-Obama era so providers could provide their own music and video sites which didn't go against your data. Prior to that, cell phone and other ISPs were common carriers and zero rating would've lost them that status.
The practice of simply ignoring your competitions bandwidth at the exchange (e.g. Letting your connection with Netflix and YouTube go to 100% and refusing to accept more traffic) has been commonplace all along even though receiving traffic at an exchange is practically free.
The current FCC is trying to get rid of the prior regulation so carriers would be once again "common carriers" but it doesn't address the anticompetitive practice of refusing to expand your capacity in order to prioritize in-network traffic.
Both Obama and Trump FCCs have allowed anticompetitive practices like Comcast, Time Warner and AT&T merging into a giant conglomerate tied together with their namesake media production companies by shell companies.
Yeah like the 25-50 year warranties on roofs, those aren't worth the paper they're written on. They don't transfer owners, they are usually prorated after the first year and only cover manufacturer defects, don't cover workmanship, don't cover wind damage even though they're rated for hurricane speed winds,... and that is if the company that wrote the warranty is even around by the time you need it.
25 years on a solar panel is generous. Many early commercial solar panels are already being replaced 10 years later.
If it's so profitable long term, why does nobody just build them and sell the electric?
The truth is that solar panels or wind mills aren't all that profitable long term and except for very small, direct use installations aren't yet profitable. There are many other solar designs that are way better at collecting and storing the suns energy.
I'm all for using renewables but at this point we have no economic model that makes sense without massive government cash injections.
What I've learned about Musk is that he only opens his mouth when there is an opportunity for one of 'his' solutions to "solve" a problem and it's not his own money, physics and practicality be damned.
... African American people have higher rates of heart disease <its-a-joke>
But seriously since the study was European you would imagine heart disease would've taken a dip since lower hour work weeks are not just the norm but government enforced. Yet other studies show heart disease rising in European countries.
That's already the case though, interest rates on student loans are extremely low and payback extremely long. That's exactly the problem you're trying to avoid, it's basically "free money" for 18-25 year olds which for all intents and purposes are still teenagers with matching impulse control.
And as long as particular colleges remain government-funded status symbols, people will continue paying for it, most students do not need to go to Yale/Harvard/MIT yet the demand for more well known school is far more than the schools can sustain building.
Please tell me how any social plans so far have worked. We are currently giving ~$20,000 per poor person (that's $80k/year for a "poor" 4 person family) in the US in welfare and they continue to be poor.
As a sysadmin I understandably only interact with Microsoft when a family member brings their 2 year old Toshiba laptop with a broken hinge and about 20 lbs brick of a charger.
They always whine "but this is a new machine" and then I explain to them they bought it 2 years ago but the CPU and other tech are more than 5 years old.
They attempt to run Windows on it, it came with 8 and got upgraded to 10 unbeknownst the user, even I can't find the freaking control panel anymore and the majority of crapware is now Microsoft's own and by installing about 10GB of Microsoft's "developer tools" you can enter a command line to hide the programs.
I try to keep people off Windows 10, all Windows machines where I work are now virtual machines which the users find so much better, boot into it, do your job, get out (and reset from snapshot)
I had used the > and < and Slashdot ate my comment.
The whole procedure for current welfare comes down to "Check income level, give money". We are currently giving 1 Trillion dollar per year to less than 10% of the population. That is $20,000 per poor person in the US, $80,000 for a family of 4 and according to at least one left wing instiution there is less than 5% overhead on that.
We are giving poor people a UBI already and the poor are not getting any better off.
Exactly what Thomas Paine said about the machines people were inventing in his time. Weak AI is weak, it needs hard sciences and programmers to even get to a point of usefulness. If manufacturers want an AI-driven manufacturing line, we need many programmers, technicians, designers both in computers, electronics and mechanics.
The steam engine made pretty much most manual crafts obsolete in a matter of a generation. Computers made half of the desk jobs obsolete in less than that. Robots and automation will do that to high-tech manual labor and has been doing that for more than a few generations already. There will be other jobs for people that want to work, it's not like "AI" will automate every job imaginable, it's only useful for a small subset of repetitive tasks and has to be programmed and tested rather well by humans for it to be useful, Google has been working on a self-driving AI for over a decade now and that's just something that drives itself on a system that is pretty well defined by strict rules.
Not sure, what did the weavers do after the steam powered loom? Or the blacksmiths when factories started casting metals? The economy has only grown when these upheavals came. What it will bring is unknown, but UBI has been peddled during the Renaissance, Thomas Paine was a known proponent just prior the Industrial Revolution and even the US has done trials with it when computers and automation were going to render "work for pay obsolete" in the 60's and 70's.
In the end, more people have jobs, less people are unemployed, economies boom on the back of automation, computerization and in general the world benefits.
So if welfare so far has failed the system in both cost and abuse without lifting anyone out of abject poverty, how well do you think UBI (basically welfare for the masses) will fare in the next 50 years? If we need such overhead managing current welfare funds that apply to 90% of the population?
Funding for political candidates, really, that's what we call bribes now. At least lobbying and election contributions supposedly go towards specific issues or election funds, these bozos are just cutting the crap and funding politicians.
I don't want any collection of rich people basically buying out the entire candidate pool, at least right now we have our pick from rich people and even though they are further removed from our world than we care to admit, at least they are somewhat of a pick. Y Combinators is proposing the political system within Hunger Games.
We also need high speed rail in California and subterranean transport in LA and commercialize space. I wouldn't be surprised if Elon has an AI defense company he's trying to peddle.
In all of his endeavors he's absolutely clueless as to the physics of the endeavor. Remember the Tesla sedan was going to be affordable by every family in the US and mass production capacity because people paying for the roadster. We're now 4 iterations further and still no electric car is affordable without massive government subsidy.
No, systemd decides what systemd defaults to. I use Debian and several of my init scripts no longer write any logs after upgrading to systemd a few months ago.
In my neck of the woods UPS will be more than happy to never ring the door bell and simply put a sticky note on your door saying they left it at some corner store somewhere in the hood the next day. Try to get a corner store to deliver your package? They will simply tell you they don't have it and because it's a "UPS store" it will sit for 2-3 months before UPS agrees that it's been lost.
Luckily Amazon Prime items will simply be replaced but some third party resellers don't want to keep sending their stuff for free.

No, systemd decides what systemd defaults to. I use Debian and several of my init scripts no longer write any logs after upgrading to systemd a few months ago.
You are talking out of your ass. It is easy to forge systemd logs, matter of fact you can even write a systemd unit that pretends to be another unit.
Also, systemd defaults to "no logging", you have to explicitly send to a systemd log.
Voting ballots are anonymous.
