Google has a good amount of people that have been working on this since the DARPA days and effectively already have a working prototype. Unless Uber is hiring people that have been working on the Google project, they are sadly mistaken if they think they can beat Google too the punch.
seriously, this is a news story, use the fucking words they fucking wrote you fucking fucks. worse yet, they were used in quotes meaning it's literally a misquote.
I'm just going to come out and say that to advertise the card with 4GB, but then disable any amount of it, is false advertising.
i agree. however in this case, all 4 Gigabytes are accessible, they simply aren't accessible at the same speed. the final 500MB is "slow" to access but it's still there and you can still access it.
There is some poorly defined Ozzie and Harriet factor that causes cops to want to control anyone that is unlike Ozzie and Harriet in their life style. As a matter of fact a cop's entire world is controlling other peoples' behaviours. It gets to the point where cops can't turn it off. [...] How can cops deal with this sort of thing?
the solution is for them to quit. if you are unable to be rational then you should not be a cop.
The temperature in the pot goes up gradually, so the frog doesn't notice the water is too hot until it is too late.
And now all those in the UK, the US, Australia, and various other countries are boiled frogs.
And the water is very hot indeed.
It's all about control, you stupid senseless gullible sheep. You will be controlled or you will be dealt with so harshly by your superiors that you will wish you had submitted. Talk all the shit you like on you web forums, but at the end of the day you have all been subjugated, and you are no more free than an animal in a zoo. In fact you are less free because you have to PAY those who hold you prisoner for the privilege of being a captive.
Right about now, many Americans are probably beginning to understand why alcohol consumption in Russia is so high.
are you blaming the frogs or trying to excuse alcoholism?
Yep, 400 years the math has been right... and we only discovered Neptune 169 years ago. Pluto varies between 29 AU and 49 AU from Sol, depending on where it is in it's 248 year elliptical orbit. These hypothetical planets are at least 200 AU from the Sol and have very slow and large orbits taking between 1800 and 12000 years to complete.
Our math has worked well for 400 years... but how will it hold up in 400K years?
Not everyone wants to follow you're ridiculous upgrade cycle.
big fixes are NOT upgrades. bugs are flaws because they were careless and did NOT do proper testing. bug fixes should be pushed out in days, not months. what google is doing is exposing their poor practices.
the problem is that they knew about the problem ahead of time and didn't add a handful of words that would have made it illegal. rudimentary precautions easily fall within the realm of responsibility for governments.
Ok, government, you win. You've got our data. Now, what can we do to make sure you use it against Them and not against Us? In fact, can you tell the difference? If we want our government to back off, the deal has to be that if — when — the next attack comes, we can't complain that they should have surveilled us harder. A trade isn't fair trade if we don't know what we're giving up. Do you hear that, Security for Privacy trade-off?
1) no, "government" doesn't win. those that have violated the constitution should be tried and punished. 2) there is an extraordinary difference between "we dont want you to do unconstitutional warrantless mass surveillance and universally weaken security" and "we dont want you to do any surveillance". should they do surveillance? yes, off course, that's why government spies exist, to find and stop those who want to harm us. that said, warrantless mass surveillance is not required to achieve that goal and if the people in the government dont understand that then they are clearly in the wrong line of work.
not to spoil it for you but it's time travel. i'll be making my announcement in 2044 and personally demonstrate that you can travel 5 minutes back in time. needless to say, i forgot to carry the one.
We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster. Wait, only six million? He already costs 17 million and his legs don't even work! Budget cuts?! FORGET IT! PROJECT OVER! *flips table over*
btw, to date his full cost is in fact $17 million.
What if we agree to spell out obscure acronyms the first time?
I guess I disagree. I don't want to have to see "Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol" the first time in every article that mentions TCP/IP
good news everyone! using time travel, i have added a html tag specifically for abbreviations. go ahead and try it, it's the <abbr> tag.
Each of the flavors builds on the "base" set of packages for Fedora. For instance, each flavor uses the same packages for the kernel, RPM, Yum, systemd, Anaconda, and so forth.
Thanks to horizontal completions petroleum products (gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, plastics and on and on and on) prices are plummeting.
and with bullets on sale it's even cheaper to shoot ourselves in the foot!
Thanks to horizontal completions, natural gas is now cheaper the coal in the US and coal power plants are being converted to natural gas which is all around cleaner, safer, and produces half the CO2 of coal.
that's as great as getting half as much cancer than normal.
Thanks to horizontal completions, OPEC's 40 year cartel appears to be at an end, and horizontal completions dropping the price of oil has been the most effective "sanction" by far on Russia, putting more pressure on Putin and the ruble then all the heads of state combined.
i'm no fan of bad governments but wouldn't it be better to just do away with OPEC by moving to clean energy like solar?
Slashdot Mirror
biking, running and rowing are just the tip of the iceberg! i cant wait for them to release the YARD WORK SIMULATOR!
if nothing else, it provides a ARMv8 (64bit and 8 cores) dev board that doesn't cost multiple internal organs.
NEXT QUESTION!
Does it run Linux?
of course it does, it's Android, you clown.
clearly you have never driven in DC or NYC.

I think they mean "GNU/Linux," as Chrome OS runs the Linux kernel.
actually no, any Linux will boot fine.
I agree with you, and any sane country with privacy laws would be appalled -- and you'd expect this to violate some HIPAA laws.
That's utterly insane, and if it isn't, it should be illegal.
i think it actually might be violating HIPAA. someone should be going to jail for this, whether they do or not is a different matter.

you are one our testers? you live in a reality constructed inside your mind? oh i just must know!

How can developers be so lazy and so security naive?
security commonly falls under the "not my problem" area while "it MUST work" is always the priority. is that really so hard to comprehend?

it seems our efforts of sabotage are coming to fruition in the form of retaliation.
