The news were unspecific on which part of the software was created by the other company. I assume they only meant the different motor control parts not the test bed detection.
Actual the software was from Bosch. However, the Bosch guys said it would be illegal to use this specific feature. Looks like someone did not get the memo;-)
Indeed. However, I am not sure if this is limited to any nationality. Many cheat about breaks they have to take, which results in their inability to stay on their lane.
If a train is stopped in a segment the segment behind him will stay blocked. It is only released when the train has left its segment. At least that is how railways are operated in most parts of Europe.
Anyway, your algorithm would cause a major collapse and of the railway system. You would rather built it with some decision support. However, high speed trains use multiple ways to communicate position and speed. And they know how fast they can go at any segment of the tracks.
In Europe you could, but in Germany the rail system has not enough capacity. Anyway, long and midrange transport from 100 km and more can be done very efficiently by train. Have a look at Switzerland.
Still autonomous trucks will come and destroy jobs, like truck drivers and service station staff.
As often on/. people are unable to read the source they are then transforming in an article on/. IBM did not shrink transistors, they played around with nano tubes like many other researchers, but they are not closer to an application than any other research facility. Therefore, they did not find a new way, others have constructed similar approaches before, and I doubt that theirs is so different that it can be classified as a "new approach". It is not even a way to shrink transistors, because they fiddle around with a new concept which may lead to an technology. There are at least 10 to 20 years between their "finding" and an application. And finally, what they build is a switch, just because transistors are used as switches, does not mean that every switch is an transistor. Relays are also switches but not transistors.
So actually the title should be: IBM played around with nano tubes and they claim to have found a new way to make a switch.
Well, you are irrelevant. No I do not mean the USA, I mean you. And actually, the guy who sabotaged EU US relationships the most is W. Bush. However, pushing for treaties like TTIP and TiSA is Obamas fault. Stop that shit.
Presently, you can either vote for a Republican nut case or Hilary who used the wrong email account. Really, that is the level of political discussion on your side of the ocean? And you wonder why your government is unable to fix anything.
Oh I forgot, you have this "Communist" you could vote for, but he will never be in the position. He wants to fix things.
Never. If he would lie, he would go to hell. Or maybe it is forgiven because god decided he is a nice guy. And if he really believes it, it is not a lie, isn't it?
I personally require at least one more month to finish my thesis. Therefore, I am totally opposed to an end of world right now. I mean, they waited 6000 years. Plus/minus one month shouldn't be that big of a problem. Or better six month so I can have some vacation and get my PhD from university. However, when I am on/. I might need one more month. Oh flip lets make it a year. How about world end in 2016? God? Jesus? Anybody? Is that too much to ask?
As most people do not type these number and do not need to remember these numbers, I do not see any problem with longer numbers. Especially when there are methods to write them shorter than that: 0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000::0000 For example zeros ca be omitted. see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
They already found a new source of IP addresses which could support everyone with enough IP addresses to the end of time (which was of course yesterday or the day before or tomorrow, depending on your favorite Youtube oracle). However, the old IP industry does not want the new IP stuff, it might harm their business plans.
The customer never knows what he wants and even more they do not know what they need. That is why they hire software developers to do that. If they really knew what they need, they could just write it themselves. That is why we need social skills, because we have to be able to understand other humans and translate that into software.
Well, the whole car industry is a "me too" thing. The first working electric car is from Gustave Trouvé 1881. And Karl Benz is acknowledged as the inventor of the modern car which would make any other company beside Daimler-Benz (today Daimler AG) a "me too". Elon Musk only had a lot of money to start his business. In contrast to many of the other electric vehicle companies. And while all the car companies are struggling with electric mobility are bicycle and scooter developer far ahead in number of released vehicles and usability in public.
However, you are right with that the big companies did not believe in modern electric cars. Even Daimler who were successful in developing fuel cell cars have hesitated to go beyond the prototype stage, like Toyota.
Exactly, it is rude and impolite. I am not sure if that is the right strategy to help bring people to programming and science. In addition such a special day is in general not helping. If more people should pick up programming or any other engineering field, give more poor people access to engineering disciplines at university. As usually people from such background tend to go more likely into engineering than to some arts stuff.
The next one who did not understand my post. Very interesting.
Put yourself in the position of such programmer: The management employs some sexy girls to cheer you up. However, in reality you are only allowed to look at them. At one point the becomes frustrating. And it also tells you that you are inadequate to get a women on the "free market". This is not helping. It is like going to a hooker, in short it might help, but essentially you will feel empty afterwards.
On a side note: Asia is not in anyway overtaking my society. Especially, as Asia is a little too big to be a homogeneous thing. so I conclude that you are most likely from the US and born there. And you have no clue about the world. For example, Asia include Japan. Japan is not a western country, but it is still declining. China is an Asian country, it is twice as big as the EU and the US together. They perform well, however, they have large social problems, due to their believe that boys are worth more than girls which resulted in an significant imbalance in the men/women ratio. They have also an increasing Gini-Index. It could be very dangerous there in future. India, is also Asia, and so is Thailand, and Vietnam, and Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan (all countries where western countries messed with).
Nothing is wrong with that. You are missing the point totally which I find quite interesting, because you are not the only one who brings something up what has nothing to do with my post.
I was not taking about anyone being offended by something. I find it not helpful to let women play in a workplace context the implied role (as stated in the article). In addition, I find it problematic to put men in such context, as this is not a healthy relationship. It also says a lot about the management that they think that this measure results in a workplace improvement.
What I did not say is, that people have to live in monogamy relationships. That is totally up to them. However, reality tells me that most try to achieve this state. And they are equally offended when the other part is not playing alone. This is even so in cases where the offended part has acted in the same way. But all that is beside the point of this workplace measure to improve the mood of programmers.
Neither the original article is about porn nor was it my post. the original article is about women, who have to play a certain role in a company, which place them in the role of objects. It is of course also not a good idea to place other humans (like men) in a similar position. Or is your argument, because male get mistreated and objectified in porn, it is acceptable to do the same to women? This is strange logic. The correct resolution would be to conclude that objectifying humans is not a good idea and should be avoided.
What you totally missed is that the male in that scenario are also put in a awkward position, as this also induces certain stereotypes.
First, it is wrong, as it reduced women to toys to play with, as they are ordered to, e.g., play with the guys. Second, it is sexist, because female hetero programmers do not get the same "treatment". Same applies to any non "straight" programmer. Third, is will only increase sexual and emotional frustration, as these women are not there to be partner surrogates. Fourth, it the programmers are already engaged, these girls could even hamper these relationships.
However, in a society where there is a surplus in men, for many men it is impossible to form a family. And we all know who is not at the top of the food chain in that matter.
Mammoth is not really a problem. a) we got them extinct the first time (if these rumours are true) and b) they are just elephants. We are very able to get them extinct in Africa, so no problem with that.

Honesty, if you call me a fuckwad, I will become uncooperative. And depending in my standing, I will quit or I will quit you.
Such language is totally unprofessional.

One more cause for me to chose trains.
If a train is stopped in a segment the segment behind him will stay blocked. It is only released when the train has left its segment. At least that is how railways are operated in most parts of Europe.
Anyway, your algorithm would cause a major collapse and of the railway system. You would rather built it with some decision support. However, high speed trains use multiple ways to communicate position and speed. And they know how fast they can go at any segment of the tracks.
The cost of the driver of a train is neglectable compared to the 20 or more carriges in a train which compare to one or two truck loads.
Automated trains are used on high speed tracks and subways.
In Europe you could, but in Germany the rail system has not enough capacity. Anyway, long and midrange transport from 100 km and more can be done very efficiently by train. Have a look at Switzerland.
Still autonomous trucks will come and destroy jobs, like truck drivers and service station staff.

Yes, and my inability to provide a syntactical correct address example invalidates my argument? Nope.

The problem is code maintenance. Therefore, the system had to be ported to a new platform with a modern language.
