I would hope that corporations faced with these unreasonable demands simply close up shop in the country. Google CEO going to go to jail? Well, Google pulls out of France and has no presence. Good luck French people with your search queries.
Microsoft would gladly take their place.
If a corporation caves to one country then it will just embolden then next country. Better to draw a line in the sand and tell them to fuck off.
Considering the history of Microsoft, i think they would sooner give all the politicians of France weekly handjobs than lose a chance to gain ground on Google. Hell, they'd give every government access to everyone's desktops if it meant they were the golden boy again.
a French Republican, singled out American encryption in particular. "They deliberately use the argument of public freedoms to make money knowing full well that the encryption used to drug traffickers, to serious [criminals] and especially to terrorists.
hmm... that reminds me of something a fellow American said,
"Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." - Benjamin Franklin
here's the funny thing, he was the Ambassador to France from 1776 to 1785 and he couldn't talk any sense into them.
i'm just wondering at what point will someone sue a company for undermining the security of the device they were sold and actually win. i mean, if you advertise it as secure and you know you put a hardcoded password in the firmware, it's really just false advertising.
correct, it doesn't do anything autonomously but it does allow you to choose what actions you would like it to take. for example, microsutures are a pain in the ass because they take forever but the da Vinci Surgical System allows you to start making microsutures and then allows you to choose to repeat the task so that you can do thousands of microsutures in several minutes rather than hours.
it certainly is a robot. it requires you to tell it what to do but then don't all robots?
look, i get that you like cool devices that are capable of neat things but if history has proven anything, it's that these "smartthings" are are a bad investment and a security nightmare. we have smartTVs that spy on you and inject even more advertisements, we have watches that die faster than winding watches and are less accurate than some of the original mechanical clocks if they don't sync and finally we have cellphones that need daily charging and give your information to just about anyone.
Judging by its name, the OS should not be confused with proper Windows 10 that we see on Microsoft's mobile devices, as Windows 10 RT is a version of the OS that is designed for the desktop class PC and tablets.
so "proper Windows 10" only runs on smartphones and Windows 10 RT only runs on PCs and tablets?
from what we know of Windows RT, i would say Windows 10 RT is simply an ARM port of Windows 10 and thus lacks compatibility with programs written for x86.
look, you can go after Clinton and burn her at the stake but that doesn't change the fact that top secret and above top secret documents are being sent via an insecure email system! i think they need to change their focus from "you broke our security" to "our security is inadequate!" if you are even capable of sending the information somewhere else without having to retype everything on another computer, then you have flawed security.
I've been assisting with the second phase of this project which is to medications to prevent the creation of long term memories . We are testing a few different compounds but so far no luck.
Mercedes is shifting to what it calls “robot farming” - equipping workers with an array of smaller, lighter machines.... The change will mean smaller, more flexible systems that work side-by-side with humans will replace some of the large traditional robotic machines, including in the production of the new Mercedes E-Class. A human or a lightweight machine will replace two fixed robots for the alignment of the car’s new heads-up display, which projects speed and directions on to the windshield.
the basic problem is that Mercedes invested in large fixed machines that are limited in their abilities. they are temporarily relieving some of the large robots of certain duties to let more agile robots do the job. until the more agile robots are 100% ready, human will be assisting the robots.
it's 2016 and it's about time companies start investing in manufacturing machines that have hands with dexterity equal to humans. also, robotics companies need to develop better programming interfaces so that the robots can be taught what to do rather than directly programmed.
robots are still center stage here and humans are going to be on the sidelines again shortly.
At the end of the day, when we talk about technology change – whether it’s the Internet of Everything, big data, or machine learning – it’s really about people and organizational cultures, first and foremost. Then, it’s about how those people get stuff done together – and that's really what it comes down to when you talk about transforming organizational cultures. I think more and more C-suite leaders need to recognize themselves as being active designers, facilitators, and participants in a cultural transformation, and make strategic choices about what levers they employ to help make that happen. CULTURE(S) CHANGE REQUIRED
would someone explain to me why we need to force diversity in amounts that are highly disproportionate to the people with the desire, qualifications and willingness to work for you? it's discrimination.
honestly, intelligent machines are great but intelligent machines that are fucking crazy are way more interesting. show me how an AI acts that's only read youtube comments and you'll have our attention!
Actually, I looked it up and Baikal Electronics purchased a license for the MIPS instruction set. From there, they implemented the instruction set on their own. It's not their first chip, so I assume the used their own I/O designs from other chips. It is a Russian chip. TSMC is just a foundry. Do you make a big deal about what kind of printer people use to print papers?

I thought that [the Bahamas] was an independent country.
the Bahamas is located right off the coast of Florida and are reliant on the US for tourism. they wouldn't do anything to jeopardize relations with the US.
i don't care for mr west. however, it's laughable to see a grown man act like this. he begs a billionaire for money because he's in a mountain of debt and instead of maximizing amount of money he could make, he instead chooses to restrict the release of his music to an obscure platform. the fans that are unhappy with these restrictions might have been willing to buy his music but now he's blown that chance and he's going after a website administrator who he blames for the choices of his fans which was an indirect result of his own choice to restrict the release. he brought these troubles upon himself and i have no sympathy for this emotionally stunted man-child who is about the waste the money he has made going after money he can no longer make.
"The Zephyr Project's RTOS" is limited to x86 and ARMv7. x86 isn't for anything small and just using ARMv7 doesn't leave you with many options for chips.
Contiki and ChibiOS/RT have already been ported to run on damn near anything and yes, only still only require 10KB of RAM.

It is unacceptable that the state loses any control over encryption
if you have such a hard-on for total control, you should NOT be part of any government.
i'm just wondering at what point will someone sue a company for undermining the security of the device they were sold and actually win. i mean, if you advertise it as secure and you know you put a hardcoded password in the firmware, it's really just false advertising.
i hate patents but i really hate advertising. i don't know who to root for!
The system does nothing autonomously.

no, it's a binary attribute. it's either "lossless" or "lossy". the fact that someone may not notice does not change that fact.
