One of the most crucial bits is that assuming the break is in the atmosphere (a reasonable chance seeing as how that's where most things are) the majority of the cable will fall up into orbit. Now it very well might have negative effects on other things in orbit, but it wouldn't be a danger to anyone on the ground.
Now take that big, nasty dog and try and eat your own steak in front of it, and see how well it respects your concept of ownership. Securing and taking resources by force is neither a human invention nor ownership.
If they are not law enforcement, then I would assume they have less latitude when it comes to detaining/abusing citizens. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would put them on equal footing with private security. If you are private security, and you detain someone for 18 hours without calling the police you are probably looking a kidnapping charge.
I still don't have a good intuition as to what the market for smart speakers is, and how large it might be. Unfortunately the blurb doesn't have any details on what the size of the market is, or how the market in 2018 might be compared to 2016. It doesn't even mention if amazon alexa sales are increasing, flat, or declining.
I would imagine plastic waste would make excellent fuel for incinerators. i doubt the incinerator would care if it's number 2 or number 8, it's all hydrocarbons.
From a purely rational point of view (which is not what I would expect from the assailant) there is an advantage to cleaning up, calling a lawyer, and walking into the police station with the lawyer to turn yourself in. You will receive better treatment and reduce the risk that you will be injured during your arrest, and mugshot photos of you covered in gore are never helpful in either your trial or sentencing.
How is this considered insightful? Of course as a user of a website I am concerned about content - which is exactly why if my browser can't access that content, or has rendering issues where I can't view the content easily, I will use a different browser that can. I won't bother to try and figure out if it's because of lazy designers, bad standards, or a crappy browser. I will just access the content that I care about in the easiest way. I used to use Firefox, but after I had difficulty accessing the content I wanted, I switched to chrome. Why did firefox have issues? I don't know or care. As long as chrome works I doubt I'll switch back.
This is actually not a terrible point in that it would demonstrate being able to deorbit materials in a cost-effective manner, but I think you would burn too much fuel matching different inclinations to collect many satellites. Also I think overall the composition of satellites would be disappointingly low on valuable minerals.
So IBM is claiming this can be used as a fact-based sounding board, but if it is looking through published work how does it know that what the system is repeating is actually fact? I realize that humans have this same issue, but if you are going to present your device as a paragon of factual information, then I would expect a rigorous system of validation to be part of it.
I will say being able to build this type of language structure in a way that is at least passable is quite an achievement in and of itself. I have the feeling "holding it's own" is an overstatement, but it was apparently not ridiculous.
I know they've had some well meaning changes that have made their minority hires feel genuinely uncomfortable, like how the traditional mentoring of new hires has been changed so that your mentor will always be of the same race
How condescending can you be? "Hey, we don't judge you by your race, so here's a person that we picked to mentor you based on your race, (who was asked to mentor based on his race, naturally) since you people all like to stick together, right? Welcome to the team!"
You start out with real points (women frequently choose less demanding schedules, forgo advancement, men are driven to compete based on sexual selection), transition into shakier ground (linux coders), and somehow end up absolutely wrong (women need jobs involving their sense of smell????)
The problem with your argument, and most arguments around this topic is that outside the very cutthroat, analytic world of tech women are winning. The most important part of a woman's world in the past was not smelling tubers (seriously how did you come up with this?) it was forging social bonds and equitable relationships. The skills that are most required today are not those of a great hunter seeking personal achievement, it is those of a person willing to produce modest gains day by day solely for the good of the group. This is why in 2017 51.7% of people in management professions were women, and 57% of people in professional occupations were women, including 75%(!) of people in health care. Meanwhile men are killing it in truck driving and construction, great.
Computer science is basically the last bastion of high-paying jobs where men are at an advantage over women, and I don't think it will hold out for ever. Certainly, by the time it goes men as a group will be in trouble, and it would be advantageous to start talking about that now, rather than puffing ourselves up over the exploits of our long-dead hunter forefathers.
Also a big part of the article is the disconnect between research and development and client frameworks. The 3x vs 100x quote especially - that someone like Netflix has enormous computing power to throw at encoding if it can save them bandwidth shouldn't be a surprise to someone developing codecs, but apparently it was.
You are missing the point. The point is that the metric being used was chosen for simplicity instead of accuracy, and because the alternatives were expensive and time-consuming. Over time everything optimized around that metric, to the point where it's prohibitively difficult to make any gains. Now that we have the ability to create better metrics we should, because otherwise we risk overlooking actual performance gains because they aren't significant on the old metric.

The first time I encountered this I thought I was missing the top section of the video and I kept trying to scroll up.
Honestly, the part where he specifically woke the people up makes me think this is more a case of mental illness than burglary.
Yeah their numbers seem pretty far off. I think they say 12Gbit/in sq and read it as 12 Tbit/in sq

take this improvised +1 informative
If one of the founders was the son of the chair of Apple, I'm pretty sure he was already living in luxury before this.
It is a very large airdropped bomb.

As a Samsung owner I am super excited about this feature. This will save me the time and money required to get blackout drunk and do this myself.

Then bring back Vine, goddamn it. It was very diverse, super accessible, and I miss it.
Get him!!!

Not only that, with that much shorting, the short sellers themselves can drive up the price as they try and cover their contracts.
