The incredibly sad part is that Microsoft can't see the sarcasm. It's frustrating now to have to "Search" for things you used to easily be able to find. And that's where books come in. The internet is fine when you're looking for a specific solution but it doesn't provide an overview of where things are at. It's like using a smart phone to get directions to an address whereas a book's like opening a map.
I'd think the game clock's accuracy should take into account the scoring frequency. Thus a basketball clock would have to be more accurate than a soccer clock with football and hockey somewhere in between. If there's a human timekeeper than you should have an accuracy cutoff somewhere around 2x the increment it takes an average person to physically start/stop the timer.
I frequently see people miss sarcasm in real-life interactions
You've got to wonder whether there's an implicit assumption that AI's solved the real-life interactions with the added video & audio feedback or was that too much information so they skipped it. Then there's the issue whether sarcasm is a binary output or a more continuous probability with a value proportional to some measured level of outrageousness.
find a company that makes candy and *pays me* to give it away at my store
I didn't think the advertisers created the content for Wired. If they don't the analogy might be the company gives away the candy they make but when you walk into their store someone, who's paid the company for the right, steps in front of you, shouts their ad in your face, then photocopies the contents of your wallet. If you're not careful your wallet gets lifted.
Thanks to the lower barrier of entry provided by the internets. So there's still quality, but there's a lot more of everything else. Like other low barrier opportunities on the internet they're finding it's not so easy finding that pot of gold at the end of the advertising rainbow.
Slashdot is getting paid to accept these submissions
If that's true, and I wouldn't be surprised, then Slashdot should provide some indicatation that that's the case.
Though they're typically mainstream stories, HughPickens writes decent summaries with links going outside his domain. I've clicked on a few of his summary links and never been to his domain. This guy writes an okay summary but with the main (and often only) link to his overdone Forbes blog. His posts either should not be allowed or be noted as paid for.
I think this can be boiled down to three issues: 1) Did CBS legal accidentally drop the ball in failing to negotiate with the Newlin estate, 2) Did CBS legal intentionally leave off negotiation thinking they either were in the clear or could bully their way and 3) How long should the copyright on lyrics, dating to the '30s, last? If 1) was the case then it's not likely it'd have gone public, unless the estate thought a public blindside might increase the size of any settlement. If 2) is the case we'll have to see how it plays out in court. Regarding 3) I think most readers would agree that >75 years is too long.
a school failing due to poverty is told they're failing because of "bad teachers" and the school is put into receivership
I'd purpose there's a stronger correlation between economic and cultural poverty today than in the past. That is, for whatever reasons, poor people aren't as interested in their children getting a good education as they once were. This puts a heavier burden on teachers which quickly becomes untenable as kids inevitably fall behind. Why waste a good teacher on remedial education, etc.In other words money is only half the cost. The other currency is cultural and in today's climate private/charter run schools are in a better position to provide it.
restrict student admittance to whomever they want
I don't think that's the case. There is always going to be an incorrigible group of students and a private/charter school dedicated to them could be the best option. (Think of a better version of the military schools from the past.)
If she was anyone else she'd be nailed to the wall already.
Not really. The whole issue revolves around incompetent IT management in government that enabled Mrs.Clinton's setup in the first place. While her competence can also be clearly called into question it's certain that she's not alone getting outed in the casual treatment of this type of information - Petreus comes to mind - and that her position, rather than her person, is what provides the most immunity.
I think in most cases they're glorified administrators occasionally attempting to promote something like the management trend du jour. If they're at the right place at the right time they're lauded. If they're not they move on. To be fair, CEOs of large companies have quite a lot to administer, though they're most certainly overcompensated for what they do.
"Weve capped the speed of our prototype vehicles at 25mph for safety reasons"
Alas safety depends on real time traffic conditions and not on some database of speed limits. If the car was going significantly slower than the immediate traffic flow it posed a safety hazard. Hopefully the ticket will add this common sense to the programming. There's enough old people driving already.
Since the wage expenses are being phased in, they'll lag the productivity and publicity boosts to revenue. Whether these initial boosts can be sustained sufficiently to ensure future profitability is tbd. To be sure it's an interesting experiment and even should it not succeed one hopes that some progress towards supporting the middle class, as it were, will come out of it.
The current governor's father was also governor and is favorably known for his efforts in building the state's infrastructure. You can figure it from there. The special interests and Brown's reputation as a 'moderate' (in a heavily Democratic state) trump common sense diluted by the state's other issues.
Malvertising is only part of the bigger problem of remote ad servers. As has been stated here before, why should users not only expose themselves but also deal with the overhead to access remote 3rd party servers which the site they're visiting has no control over.
There's the assertion that economics is granted a prize because the Nobel committee (or whoever) consider it a hard science like the other science prizes. That ain't necessarily so. Economics may have been selected as a representative of the so called softer sciences (it includes many of them after all) rather as the literature prize can be considered representative of the arts.
Be precise and thorough about your check-in process. Each developer's modifications should pass tests under varying sets of real world inputs. I develop Python code for our observatories using ASCOM hardware simulators for the DAQ process. Convenient, but not the same as the real thing.
At best it's a fig leaf to cover management's criminal intent with (what for most people would be gross) incompetence. It can sometimes soften the blow depending on who your friends are.
mobile space is the first time the consumer has had a chance to stick it to the man
I think it's the first time the consumer has had a choice unbiased by what was being used at work. Well, maybe the second time if you count game consoles. Microsoft fully and successfully leveraged the PC business mantle handed to them early on by IBM. The consumer 'never went wrong' buying for home what was being used at work. Same interface, work at home &c.
The most popular pairing â" hamburger and tater tots â" still results in about 26 percent waste on average, according to the study.
And you can only imagine what the high-end or average must be.Multiply this by all the schools serving meals and the enormous amount of waste is still not enough to bury the "think of the [hungry] children" mantra recited by the usual suspects. LAUSD, the 2nd largest school district in the US is starting a program of free breakfasts for all served in the classroom - for kids up till middle school. Food pairings is fighting a forest fire with a garden hose.
No surprise. In this instance I'd say the BS is inversely proportional to the practical examples provided to support their 'idea'; and there weren't any.
It seems to me that many (in some fields possibly most) scientific papers have always pointed out that further work needs to be done. Calling it "ignorance" isn't profound nor does it help when applying for additional grant money.

The DPP would disagree. You can no longer conflate Taiwan with the KMT.

I think you mean relevant and informative. I think it's their perception of "creative and entertaining" that got us into this mess.
