From TFA: Jack Sheng of eForCity, which sells electronics on Amazon, warned of the dangerous impact algorithmic pricing could have on the retailer’s prices: “If something is mispriced down to $1, your inventory can be cleaned out in no time.”
I hope you put a minimum price on every item for which an algorithm decides the price. If so, I don't see the problem if someone "clean out your inventory". It means a lot of sales at a price you agreed...
OTOH, if you didn't put a minimum price, you just get what you deserve.
It's amazing to see the quality of the facebook icon on this image. It looks perfectly sharp, specially compared to the google icons. Good designer work!
Instead of giving a binary answer ("You are (not) a terrorist"), just communicate the probability ("There's one chance in three hundred that you are a terrorist. As this is higher than in the general population, we will investigate further to know for sure.").
The same apply for medical exams. You can tell someone "The test tells us you have one chance in one hundred to have lupus. It's low, but higher than normal. We need to do more tests to know for sure".
Look page 22 of the presentation. They keep track of authorship of a text. So if someone does what you are telling, it has no positive effect on his reputation.
Because this means more computing for google servers.
And also because your mail is sent as plain text to the recipient's mail server (and it came as plain text on google server). So it would be useless to crypt only the first (or last) part of the way.
So, as long as the authentification method is not broken (today it is), there's no point in using ssl for the whole session. Maybe google will change the default now.
If your address is foo@gmail.com, you can also use the address foo+bar@gmail.com (you can put whatever you want after the "+". If the website doesn't allow the + sign, you can put some "." in your address (messages sent to f.o.o@gmail.com will also get into your inbox)
Was that representation of christianity inaccurate?
Yes. Or at least according to MY christianity. I can't speak for every christian on this planet.
The universe was created by an all-powerful all-knowing being who came down to us in the form of a cosmic Jewish Zombie
Jesus was not a zombie. He was a human being like you and me. We can live in the exact same way as Jesus.
who was his own father
The Father and the Son are two different beings, each having feelings, will, etc...
who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh
This is a symbol of a deeper reality. This can't save anybody from anything. The reality is important, not the symbol.
and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master
I dont communicate "telepathically" with God. I just speak with him.
, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
This evil force is in me not because of this woman, but because of what I choose to do. I am the one to blame, no one else.
Slashdot Mirror
Randall Munroe (xkcd guy) wrote about the difficulty for robots to manage the most simple things in our world. And what would a robot apocalypse look like.

This is the real test for any music typesetting system...

So it bother you to have another bullet in your arsenal?

That's what she said.

In french (on a swiss qwertz keyboard), the longest is extraterrestres with 15 characters.
Interesting test
Actually, he's justifying 10 hours of useless surfing by providing a few graphs. He's my hero.
But it doesn't exactly apply to programmers...
No, the real question is "Will it get the extra credit?"
No ethernet port, only ONE usb2 port, no microphone jack..
...lame
Not exactly. The Leopard finder is doing something like: like in "remove $from regardless if the copy was successful or not".
You just don't understand what you are for google. You are not the customer, you are the product. The customer is the company using google ads.
Google needs all those "free" services to harvest "web surfer attention" to sell to other companies.

Don't judge someone you don't know.
If your address is foo@gmail.com, you can also use the address foo+bar@gmail.com (you can put whatever you want after the "+". If the website doesn't allow the + sign, you can put some "." in your address (messages sent to f.o.o@gmail.com will also get into your inbox)
I know I'm amused.
I am too.
