These days, there are so many amazing online resources, it is rare that I would get use from a printed book. I am a little sad and nostalgic, but I honestly don't see their business model lasting all that much longer. Even if all of their books were readily and cheaply available online, I probably still wouldn't read them. It's simply the wrong way to present the type of information that I need.
The issue I have with printed media, especially tech related, is that by the time it hits the street it's already outdated or deprecated.
WTF? You have case history to cite of the long term survival of 'species' depending on migrating to more than one planet?
Clearly that is what has happened to many, if not all of the other species that share this universe with us or we would have heard from them by now. We need to learn from their mistakes rather than repeat them.
While I'll grant you that the data can be explained by competing theories, in this case only half the officers had cameras on. That certainly suggests that it's not limited to officer behavior.
Assuming that officers worked in pairs and given that the cameras were randomly assigned, any given team will not have a camera only 25% of the time.
The situation has gotten to the point where there are websites like fakespot.com that analyze the reviews for a product and generate a report based on how many reviews look to be "incentivized" or outright fake. It does seem to do a good job on most products.
It would be really handy to know what devices are actually at risk, so that people can tell if they need to take action. It sounds like whatever these devices are, they have somehow been exposed to the Internet (didn't we all disable UPNP years ago).
I haven't seen the source code yet, but here is an interesting article that discusses at least some of the participants.
Since we don't recommend pretty much every printer company for various and often similar dickish behaviour (seriously you think HP had enough innovation left to come up with this? They just copied this from Lexmark, and added a time delay to make it look new), just what should we do?
Maybe Lexmark could sue them for infringing their business model.
The problem is, downloading or ripping the audio track from videos is a violation of the Youtube Terms of Service [youtube.com] section 5B unless the video is one of the few that actually has a download link in the video description.
That's fine and it's a contractual dispute between youtube and the user. WTF does it have to do with the copyright holder of the content? In many cases the copyright holder was the "person" that put the content of youtube in the first place. The only way to subsequently consume that content is to download it. Where's the issue?
Think around, not through. What we want is efficient, intuitive and reliable human computer communication. If voice recognition is that hard, with many facepalm inducing errors, it is a stupid way to go. It is easier for humans to adapt to the machine. This means artificial dialects and simple AI and a bit of human training. Human consumers are lazy and want magic. Apple and MS try to grab them with the illusion of magic. It would be better for the free software to research what changes to speaking habits make the software component easier, then write howtos and youtube guides as to how to speak to it.
Reminds me of the Palm Pilot and Graffiti. Rather than try to recognize normal handwriting like Microsoft was doing, Jeff Hawkins designed a simplified single stroke character representation that was very to recognize in software.
Honestly, the only way that I see this happening is if Google decides to make their AI interface open source. Which they might do as a public service -- but we're still playing in Google's sandbox.
I don't think it would be that interesting. Someone canceling the viewing of a video in less than three seconds seems like someone who accidentally clicked on something they didn't mean to.
Another possible explanation is that Facebook once again turned on the option to automatically play videos in user's settings without asking them and the video starts playing as soon as they scroll it onto the screen.
to go jump in a lake and hich a ride on a slow boat to china, i would NOT fork over that kind of money to ANYBODY, one reason is i dont have it and if i did it would not be going to a god damned phone company
Which is all well and good but Verizon will just turn it over to a collections agency and let them deal with it. Then you are well and truly fucked.
you just know packets go a place. You forward them.
If nodes would quit forwarding packets that say they came from a place that they couldn't possibly have come from, it would cut down on some of this crap.
It was a FaceBook satellite. FaceBook has a policy of deliberately knocking their own servers off line to test the resilience of the network. At some point someone must have misunderstood what the idea was. Maybe an AI was programmed to randomly take down parts of the network and it somehow figured out how to blow up the rocket.
If the first AI evolves at Facebook and all that it knows about humanity is from reading Facebook posts then $deity help us all.
Hopefully the original creator submitted a patent application and he can sue this company for monetizing his design or at least get their importation blocked at customs. Maybe there's a case to be made here for defensive patents.
slot machines with usb changing ports seems like a like some may want to destroy after losing big. I do hope they have there own power source.
Because vandalizing a slot machine worth enough money to make it a significant felony in one of the most surveiled places in the world where it will be immediately obvious is a great idea.
I will concede that the major anonymouns coins: dash (formerly dark coin and the topic of this story), monero, and counterparty have shot up in price significantly over the past month, during a period where bitcoin has been mostly flat or fallen in value. I am not sure what is driving the increased price/market cap, but I assume the dark net is involved.
It may be the realization that bitcoin is not anonymous but there are newer alt-coins that have addressed that issue.
I mean, I know the old adage about "if all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail," but that would be taking things to a whole new level.
I thought it was "if all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a skull".
Although there are various free ones out there, I went and bought 1password. It runs on Windows, OSX, iOS and Android.
1Password is nice if you don't mind paying separately for each platform you want to run it on. I used it a long time ago but dropped it when they started this. There are too many other options out there, both free and commercial, that support multiple platforms for a single fee.
It doesn't have to be pretty or work well, it just has to breach the target system.
Sure, if you're using the "blast down the front door and storm through shooting" approach. On the other hand if you want to be a bit more subtle then your code needs to be tight and unobtrusive. The best attack is one that the defender never even knows about until it's far too late.

Wait, does this imply that there are people who use yahoo mail as anything other than a spam trap?

Aren't books just another form of optical media?
Why do that, when for $50-$100 you can get an ARM box that just does everything -- including AP duties -- while also consuming insignificant power?
It even comes with a reasonably-good Gigabit switch that can also tackle VLAN duties.
Would you mind sharing a link or at least a name?

So, wondering when the masses stopped caring at all about how the music sounded?
About the time the industry started compressing the hell out of everything until it clips.

The next issues are likely to be gigantic class action cases which might bring a car company to its knees.
Don't worry, they are too big to fail. The Government will bail them out once again.
