The industry is very aware that if they provided better alternatives that piracy would be drastically less. However, their interest is not in stopping people from pirating, it's to maximize the amount of money they can make. They know that keeping prices inflated will ultimately earn them more money from the people that do by it than if the lowered the price and almost everyone obtained music legally. Complaining about pirates also gives them a specious reason to lobby for all sorts of bullshit laws they don't need and people don't want, all in the pursuit of higher profits.
They know the evil they do and they do it gladly because the only thing they love is money.
Psychopaths are the most "talented" actors, as they can switch empathy on and off, as required.
This is incorrect. Persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder (aka psychopaths aka sociopaths) have a diminished capacity for empathy or in the most extreme cases, no capacity for empathy at all. This is not something they can control, so cannot "switch empathy on and off". The reason for this is not fully understood but if it's like schizoaffective disorders, it may be treatable.
You don't need a diet with a fancy name, more willpower or agonizing exercise to lose weight. The basic problem is that sugar is chemically addictive and it's being added to all of our foods. You are constantly in withdraw (strung out) which reduces the amount of energy you have and thus get less exercise. The sugar industry has been suppressing science for half a century and they have finally gone too far because the general population is dying from sugar induced illnesses.
FYI: the reason people lose weight by abstaining from eating foods that are carbohydrates is because it's hard to add sugar to meat and vegetables but it's very easy to add it to carbohydrates.
Here's the problem: AT&T and Comcast want make the process of adding new cables to be a painful as possible for outside by using existing regulation. This is known as regulatory capture. It is not in AT&T's or Comcast's best interest to be helpful.
Seriously, this is like asking the owner of a car dealership their opinion on Tesla selling directly to people.
Unless they can prevent the UK from purchasing robots that are are designed to kill, it's a pointless standard. The US is cranking out lots of killing machines that everyone likes to buy and it won't be long before one is autonomous.
The entire point of Tesla was not to dominate the market for EVs, it was to make EVs a real thing that people could buy. With multiple companies making affordable EVs, it means that Tesla is succeeding in its goal. This is a good thing!
The only thing left is to edge gasoline vehicles out of the market and move energy generation to something renewable.
Here's the problem: The internet is full of *lies*. It is very hard for an algorithm to tell what is true and what is not. Often the not-true stories are the most popular, because they can play into what people wish to believe. That's why you need human editors.
While this is true, IBM has made some impressive headway during the creation of WATSON in sifting out fact from fiction. They will need to employ the same types of algorithms to judge the truthfulness of things or just give up an go with humans.
This kind of attack could run on any USB device with a modified firmware (e.g. memory stick). If you don't want to hack an existing USB device, then for a few bucks you can make your own. It also doesn't have to interfere the original functionality of the USB device, so if you aren't paying attention, the device could perform it's task undetected.
Serious question: does this "watch" keep good time? It has GPS, so it should never display the wrong time but what if it loses power and can't get a solid GPS signal? Will it just blink "12:00" like a neglected VCR? Does it have an actual RTC in it or is it just updated by GPS often enough to not notice a time drift?
By the mere fact that we have noticed this twice now (and we've looked at very few stars) would suggest this is not terribly uncommon. Even if it's one in a million, there are thousands in just our own galaxy.
while an interesting anecdote, people aren't actually competing. if it was a competition, everyone would no doubt take an entirely different approach to maximize their scores. besides, we already had a DARPA challenge to generates exploits, so can we just enter those programs as contestants?
there is one critical thing about the excessive heat that is being left out, the batteries are generating the excessive heat. the basic issue is that if you exceed a certain rate of charge or discharge then your battery is going to go up in flames. this is why battery cells are rated for maximum charge and discharge rate. when companies ignore the charge/discharge ratings you end up with devices that are prone to combusting.
We're not talking about delisting a continent, only its media outlets. I can't think of anything more devastating.
I can think of one thing: Alphabet buys several small media outlets around the world, aggregates it all, makes it free for anyone to use and effectively makes the existing media outlet sites irrelevant.
I would love to see the look on their faces when they heard everyone was still getting news, just not from them.
Truly - the only solution we're going to have to global warming is to hope that eventually we just run out of fossil fuels and clean energy is all that's left.
This is absolute rubbish! We have the technology to replace every polluting engine on the planet. All we need now is to finally advance nuclear technology to make LFTRs a reality. With a near limitless supply of clean power, we can create and power the machinery that will restore our atmosphere to it's former glory.
The pictures were originally uploaded to NeoGAF which Forbes then used. Seems to me that Sony is trying to exploit the Streisand Effect, so I won't link to it because it's just another boring looking black box.

Allow me to respond in a way you can appreciate.

So that's great that data can flow 5x what an x86 server can do. Does it cost 10x as much? Because if it does, you're likely better off with x86.
unless space and power consumption are a factor... like in a datacenter.

That I don't have to install it, use it or ever have to deal with it again. That is by far it's best feature.

what about just not hooking everything up to the internet? you know, controls that only work if you are standing there and press the button.
Just curious but how many people have been killed because a driver was masturbating? It's equally relevant but more amusing to hear about.

I've looked over all the information and I tell you with great certainty that this "HPU" is really a GPU with a few custom bits.
