About 20% of Gold is actually used industrially and is hard to replace there. That makes is an ultra-hard value compared to Bitcoin with 0% actual industrial usage.
The clueless are legion. So this surprises a lot of people and even more are unwilling to believe it in the first place, despite hard evidence. It actually is "Surprising nobody with a minimal clue...", which does imply "Surprising a great many people...".
Yes, people are _this_ stupid and most are unable to learn from experience in addition.
As I happen to be a scientist, it actually is me who defines what AI is. (Along with a few million other people though.) I am sure that goes way beyond what you can grasp, though.
Well, if I were on such a review board, I would likely find that the "educators" were so incompetent, that I cannot actually judge the performance of the student.
You know, when the fraudsters feel they have to inject a minimal bit of honesty, they call it "weak AI", which is the AI without "I". The whole terminology is a big, fat, bald-faced lie. There is no AI at this time and it still is completely unclear whether it is even possible. No, the demented physicalist argument "but humans do it" does not count, as we have absolutely no clue how humans do it. At this time, even "magic" is a scientifically possible explanation. (What, you thought Science rules out magic? No, it does not. It just needs to be repeatable and measurable and "magic" becomes a Scientifically sound thing.) That tells you how extremely little we know.
What can raise standards is a competent, dedicated examiner, nothing else. No amount of stupid statistics and pattern-matching will help, unless the examiner is really incompetent. And stop with the "AI" nonsense. There is no "AI" in existence, the term is just a marketing-lie.
Seems to me the only thing Apple users have is faith. That has never protected anybody in human history. It has made tons of morons feel better though.
And besides a removable battery, this is my second must-have for my next phone. No custom ROM capability (that I can also mess with if I so chose), no sale.
The sad thing is that we have a digital 2-class society: Those that are basically helpless victim of whatever devices and software is inflicted on them and a small elite that can do something about it. Not good.
Quite. It is also one reason I will only buy phones with removable batteries. This is completely non-negotiable for me. I consider non-removable batteries a severe design defect.
They may state that, but how many people will read it? And Google will know that most people will not. This is an expert-feature. Offering it for ordinary folks is inviting them to get hurt.
So technically, you are right. But in its actual effect you are not, since we have decided to allow non-experts to use computers.
The old MS just tried to make a good OS and Office package. Then they got the delusion that they had actually succeeded and now they are destructive wherever they can be.
Somebody like that does not copy because he is lazy. Somebody like that copies because he is incapable of producing good content himself. Hence everything he ever did will be copied. Classical parasitic personality that got away with it for far too long. One has to ask though why IGN failed to notice this before hiring him.
This is a bad feature that keeps rising from the grave like any good zombie.
Well, that is something I can agree to. I blame the self-destroying recorders in "Mission Impossible" and the like (they do not work either) for the broken idea that you can make any message be transmissible only over one hop. The reality is that this is against the very nature of data transmission and that any message, even analog, can be copied and passed onward with the right equipment.
That Google offers this, even with (apparently) a claim in the documentation that this is only to prevent accidental copying or sharing (as email of this type can apparently be read using IMAP or POP, not even that is true), is a problem. It means Google much rather cons its customers into a false sense of security than being honest about what is possible and what is not.
They allow IMAP and POP with this feature? That is even more stupid that I excepted from Google. With that, they cannot even prevent accidental copying and forwarding.
Winterkorn was CEO of VW from January 1st, 2007 until September 23th, 2015 and that is the CEO I am talking about. However Diess very, very likely knew what he was walking into.
I disagree. _This_ solution claims to fix this problem, but it does not. So it is a vulnerability of this system and it needs to be identified here. Other solutions do not claim to fix this problem, so it is not a vulnerability there, but a known limitation instead.
The problem is, in essence, Google lying to its customers about what its technology can do.
Not quite. It requires fear to be the primary mechanism. Most modern western governments are "idiotism", because they primarily use the stupidity of their citizens. Far easier to just mislead them than to terrorize them.
The guy is an engine expert with a reputation of wanting to know all the details at all times. He could probably have looked at the AdBlue numbers and immediately know what was going on. Also has a reputation as a control freak, so nobody will have dared to make these changes without checking with him first. As basically every other car maker with diesel cars (except for the the Japanese, it seems) had this fraud-device in their diesel cars, they will have coordinated on it. Makes sense, because one brand doing much better sticks out and could raise suspicion. I expect this was a coordinated decision a year or so before they started doing it and all the CEOs did sign off on it. No paper-trail, of course.
Very simple: It includes a big nasty person standing right next to you when you read email. This person also does a strip-search before you are allowed anywhere near your email and takes away all your devices. Unfortunately, this is not fully secure either. Somebody with the right kind of memory could just memorize the email and type it in again later. So that big, nasty person needs to hit you on the head periodically to clear your memory.
Beyond that, nobody has ever come up with anything that works. Cryptography can certainly not do it.
We had to explain this to a customer some years back when they though they could make digital information on a screen copy-proof.

Unsurprising and predictable. It is useful to separate people into those with at least a minimal clue and those without though.

Every stupid demented thing is "AI" these days, because too many people believe in magic....
Indeed. But look how long he got away with it. There is a lot of "stupid" in the picture that is not his.

You again? I still have no clue what you are talking about, so I will ignore you now.
Well, yes. Blocking encrypted emails from _those_ people makes sense. It is not a very common use-case though.
