There is no way he could actually be in any way anti-democratic(that is anti-US), those corrupt US politicians just used Putin as a fall guy for their failure to execute the decision to make Hilary the President.
LOL! Right, because Putin's "70 at 70" re-election objective doesn't exist and it was a totally fair election with no ballot stuffing at all. What planet are you from?
It's the big people who get away scot free. Reality Winner is in prison while Hillary Clinton is still at large. The same crime, but the laws only apply to the little people.
So Hillary went out of her way to give a newspaper classified information? Nope. It should be noted that her own server actually was secure and was never breached. If you want to talk about someone who is being careless with national security, I got a current president that won't even consistently use secure government phones and you can scream about that for a decade. Oh wait, you're a partisan hack, I forgot.
I don't think the sum of evidence shows Russia had any interest in supporting Trump.
You also aren't an intelligence analyst with full access to all the raw information. You only get bit and pieces, most of which is preprocessed, just like the rest of us. Your view on this matter is of no consequence.
The Left has done a great job stirring up hate without any help from "those dirty foreigners". Did you hear just the other day they mobbed and vandalized a journalist's house while his terrified wife cowered in the pantry? How does this unite us?
There is no doubt that the anarchists who brand themselves as Antifa commit criminal acts. For doing so, they should be prosecuted for their offenses. The rule of law is very important and is something we should all agree on. That's exactly why the investigation into Russian interference in 2016 needs to be protected.
As for conspiracy theories, you mean the one about how the Democrats rigged the primaries to keep Bernie out?
"Rigged" or not, Hillary won the popular vote which nullifies any sway the superdelegates had. Do note that party reforms have stripped superdelegates of their power so that a disconnect between voters and superdelegates cannot happen in future primaries.
Or the one about how they Democrats ordered the media to cover Trump? And the media obeyed? Those conspiracy theories?
To be clear, I don't begrudge Russia for it considering how much worse the CIA has done around the world. It's not like they're going after an innocent nation.
It's true, the US has done wrong things many times in the belief it was for the greater good, whatever those in power at the time thought that to be. Still, that is no excuse and we need to do better for the sake of humanity and not just our own skins.
What Russia is doing is simply trying to weaken a nation which has insisted on making a mission of prying satellite states out of Russia's sphere of influence and promoting democracy to Russia itself.
The fact that you think the promotion of democracy is a threatening action is quite telling. Russia actually was a fragile democracy when Putin was first elected. Since then he turned it right back into an authoritarian nation. All nations and people should be free to determine who controls their own nation which is not without it's own complications.
If the USA didn't make a career of threatening Russia, it wouldn't be targeted.
The USA is not a threat to Russia, however the USA is a threat to those that seek to control Russia for their own enrichment. That is why Putin is against us, not because we are threatening to claim their resources. Also, let us not forget that Putin has made several aggressive move, seeking to expand his power and influence for what we can only be assumed to be without bounds. He also seeks to interfere with elections in all democratic nations (Europe is pretty sick of it) and destabilize them in an attempt to prevent the spread of legitimate democracies.
Putin isn't just bad for his own people but for people in democracies around the globe.
Fraunhofer FDK AAC (Full title Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android) is an open-source[5] software library for encoding and decoding Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format audio, developed by Fraunhofer IIS, and included as part of Android. It supports several Audio Object Types including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC LC, HE-AAC (AAC LC + SBR), HE-AACv2 (LC + SBR + PS) as well AAC-LD (low delay) and AAC-ELD (enhanced low delay) for real-time communication. The encoding library supports sample rates up to 96 kHz and up to eight channels (7.1 surround).[6]
Remember how the world champ of Go was obliterated by the "alien" neural network based AI? How do you think it would work out if we applied the same training concepts to chess? I know Deep Blue was new and amazing but I feel like we have advanced to the point where Deep Blue could get destroyed by a completely unconventional approach through neural network AI. I want to see that. I want to see human players completely obliterated and left dumbfounded.
I'm not really up on the current state of video encoding and the article doesn't say but is there any reason this is a big deal ?
I can think of one: when it comes to open standards, Microsoft has historically been so far behind the curve that you had to just assume they might catch up because you couldn't see them anymore. Seriously, do you know how many years it was until they finally fully supported PNG images let alone PNG images with transparency? I'm pretty sure it took two decades.
What actually matters is the absolute conversion rate: number of widgets sold, and average selling price. As long as those two quantities are in the black, advertising will remain a going concern.
That is correct. That is because such widgets are seen as being valuable. If millions of people are clicking through then it's going to turn into a liability. Suddenly your advertisement is a call for a self-inflicted DDoS. Electrons are cheap but not free and if you are getting DDoS'd because of an ad you paid for and not getting real traffic then it may just be more trouble than it's worth. Sure big players might be able to withstand the strain but smaller ones will be taken offline and going offline is a surefire way to lose money.
And yet this is exactly what they do when they create new tricks to circumvent ad blockers, make ads that look like download buttons or ignore the Do Not Track flag. As we know, everyone ignore it.
I'm not suggesting using a perceptual ad recognition for poisoning ad networks but rather the list based method. The entire concept of the perceptual ad recognition is flawed and is even more of a cat-and-mouse game than list based detection. If anything, the perceptual ad recognition should be used by list maintainers to identify new ad new domains to their lists... just not automatically.
When it comes to installing equipment on telephone poles and street lights, it's all tightly regulated. If they are doing this without any notification then they are likely violating multiple city/county regulations and state laws.
If you want to get rid of ads, you shouldn't be looking to completely prevent them from loading because that's an eternal game of cat and mouse. Instead, you should be looking to poison advertisers click-though information. Basically, fooling ads into thinking you have clicked them and loading things in the background (after you have loaded the page excluding the ads) would have a very negative effect on advertisers because it spoils the very thing they keep track of: who clicks-through to a site. If most people provided a completely false click-through and browsing information it would diminish the value of ads entirely.
Honestly, people are fighting ad networks all wrong.
Whatever happened to, "I may find your ideas abhorrent, but, I will defend to the death your right to express them"?
Are you being prohibited from expressing those ideas? No. Will you be held accountable for your actions? Yes.
This is what you fail to understand, free speech is about the right to say something that the government doesn't want to hear without being thrown in jail. People can't jail you but they don't have to listen to you.
Feel free to trash talk your boss. That's sure to explain the concept to you very quickly.
We only get cancer from cell replication over time because the cells lose this ability due to the recursive telomeres copy problem (which copies all but the last telomere every single time).
fixed that for me.
This only applied to cells replicating too many times. Your cells can incur DNA damage by exposure to certain molecules, especially hydrocarbons. Some DNA damage can invoke cellular suicide but much of the time, it's simply replaces part of the sequence and it's now part of your DNA. Sometimes this can disrupt the cellular suicide programming which means it's going to be cancer once the replication limiting DNA is also damaged.
However, given the correct sequencing, you could effectively apply a CRC to a DNA sequence so that will radically reduce the chance of improper replication to just above zero.
You can not. If the cell reproduces via any form of DNA replication/duplication, then there is no possible way that it could not evolve.
This is 100% false. We as humans would be filled with messed up copies of our DNA if it didn't encode a checking sequence that prevents bad copies from happening. When a bad copy occurs, the cell commits seppuku.
Once you have self-replication, it ether dies or evolves to suit the environment that it exists in. Every DNA copy operation contains a statistical probability of getting an error in the new sequence, and that error could be better for survival, or not.
Correct but when you have replication checking then you avoid this problem. We only get cancer because the cells lose this ability due to the recursive telomeres copy problem (which copies all but the last telomere every single time).
Yes. Then why are they trying to make it a "crime" in the workplace. Either it's a crime or it isn't.
I'm sorry you are such a snowflake when it comes to following the rules but these are private businesses and they make their own rules. If you don't like it then you can make your own business where anything goes. You may find this hard to believe but society frowns upon such things.
Frankly, I don't know anyone who want's to go to work and deal with people like you who say shit like...

What you'all gonna do about it ? Nothing.
Actually, rights groups sue the federal government. This does lead to reforms. You can stick you nose up and proclaim, "naw-aww!" but it happens.
Nothing about this has to do with federal law. There is no federal law stating they must or even can take these measures.

Do they have public surveillance in Crete? No.

Do they even have good cell phone access in Crete? No.
Crete is actually rather small and has cell phone coverage everywhere.
