What's even more amazing? They published this seemingly top secret invention wide open in the Journal of Applied Physics
Maybe they know the US already discovered it in secret, and they are thumbing their nose at us, or trying to coax us to abandon it by implying they can study it in detail.
At Mozilla, it is our job to continue to synergistically leverage others' long-term high-impact technology as well as continue to competently supply seven-habits-conforming meta-services for 100% customer satisfaction.
It's also our objective to completely integrate cutting-edge catalysts for change so that we may endeavor to conveniently customize holistic solutions while maintaining the highest standards.
The only way I see this ever gaining traction, is...that there is simply no hope for future business growth without it.
We are already seeing a lot of this. Companies are building up piles of cash and investing in real-estate, screwy dot-coms, and overseas factories instead of the normal things at home. They are NOT investing in local company growth or hiring.
This is because consumers are not spending much because they either don't have jobs or have stagnant wages. In short, trickle down is failing. The right's "solution" is either more trickle down or deregulation. Unless we want to be a polluted 3rd-world-like sh8thole, deregulation as a solution is not an option.
Many Asian countries will to sacrifice just about everything else to keep their population employed because unemployed masses overthrow governments. This means those governments will rig the system to steal our jobs away at almost any cost to keep their seat.
We'll probably have to eventually experiment with taxing the rich and/or tariffs. Otherwise, we'll be overthrowing our "elites" also.
Space and military spending did push research on integrated circuits (IC's) because they were the biggest customers IC's, looking for weight savings above other factors. The IBM 360 used mostly stand-alone transistors and sometimes magnetic core memory (iron donuts on a wire grid).
IBM was skeptical of the reliability of both the hardware and supply chain of IC's at the time of the 360. IC factories were not yet ready for mass manufacturing. But IBM gradually introduced IC's in later models.
This is why mainframe software lives on and on. It won't go out of fashion because it never was in fashion (except in the mid 60's) and there is so much mainframe code floating around that something or someone will always support it.
According to a 2010 study by ID Analytics, some 40 million SSNs are associated with multiple people.
That's about 1 on 7 Americans! I hope they mean that 1 in 7 had at least one cross-association error in past rather than 1 in 7 are actively referring to the same person.
I believe there's a CA law that says if you are holding up 3 or more cars, you must pull over at the earliest safe turn-out and let them pass. However, I cannot find the text of that law at the moment.
It may be tricky to detect 3 or more cars computationally, as the view of those further back is often blocked.
The Slashdot audience is now testing the Streisand Effect on such terms.
Airports will end up with a "slashdot room" where we are all housed while they check further. You'll know when you are escorted to a room with 30 other neckbeards who smell like pizza.
Maybe what they meant is that the bottleneck should be disk, RAM, bus, and/or network I/O for the vast majority of sub-queries if "done right". In other words, a single core should be able to computationally sift rows fast enough to keep up with row scans from multiple "sources" for up to say 8 sources, which may be the max practical number of sources.
However, I imagine that a complex or "mathy" equation in a query could make it be CPU intensive. But maybe that's relatively rare.
That's what I was thinking also. One could hide a sinister executable inside an image file, for example. It might look like modern art when projected as an image, but still be a "valid" image from the computer's perspective. The file (or parts of) can be a valid EXE and a valid image at the same time.
The trick is not to allow "running" a given file in the wrong application on both client and the server. For example, a text file with a script in it is only a text file with a script in it if one views it in a UI widget that displays text as text: the user sees the text of the script.
But if malware or a sneaky user tricks a system into executing that text file (or portions of) in an interpreter (say Perl or JavaScript), then bad things can happen. Same with the image file example given earlier: one may trick a system into "running" the image file (or portions of) as an executable via clever tricks.
That's not always easy to prevent, as the breach can be anywhere along the processing and distribution chain. But at least make sure the file extension is consistent with intended use. For example, if a user is only allowed to upload images, then make sure only image extensions are allowed (JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc.)
You may want to also ban more than one period in the file name because different subsystems may interpret them differently. For example, "foo.jpeg.txt" may be interpreted as an image by one application and a text file in another. You don't want that risk so that it's better to play on the safe side and ban multiple periods.
Diff apps/levels also interpret URL/URI encoding differently such that "hiding" a period in encoding perhaps also should be banned. (There may be a standard way to interpret such, but you cannot bet on each app following standards.)
That's true, but it's only half the problem. The other half is when one switches between different languages, they tend to leak those habits cross-language. Thus, one may end up using ">" in Perl even if they intended a string compare.
People voted with their dollars even when they didn't realize that they were voting.
That's true, but it was still snuck into place. People are less likely to say something if the change seems good.
Overall, people saw the advantages of lopsided trade at the shopping market, but the disadvantages were targeted at a relatively small segment of society, such as factory and agriculture workers. However, it's spreading to more careers.

Stealth is great and all, but we should also have a modern fighter plane that says, hell with stealth, I'll be fast, maneuverable, and mean.
We seem to be putting all our eggs into the stealth basket. If somebody defeats stealth, then fast may be the next best alternative.

Correction: biggest customers of IC's
