And they should be a huge social pressure against them. But the issue is, many crypto mining companies do it where electricity is cheap... because running on dirty coal.
Problem is, their companies don't sell anything, they just make money, and those who run this probably don't care much about their image.
Yep, empty research with clickbait title... like... we've seen 10 times in the last year, contradicting each other. We shouldn't even react to those stupid articles, but I guess the troll is too strong.
I had an ATT support person tell me that "given the number of devices connected to my DSL box, maybe I should go for a faster plan". So it's a bit more than what you send unencrypted over the Internet.
Now I have a router and they see 1 device. And everything goes to the Sonic VPN, because Sonic understand that and gives me a free VPN to bypass the ATT "fair game".
Oh, I failed to see you were mentioning phage therapy.
Surely an interesting subject, but unless you can predict the future, stating that it can replace antibiotics entirely and for the best is presumptuous. Large scale / long term effects are hard to predict.
That. This is another clickbait study that doesn't show anything.
Answers could be biased for so many reasons. Like the mental projection for senior managers that gamers, hackers, and all those youngsters playing all day with their computers are the same... they know better how to use a computer than themselves. Sure, but that doesn't make them good at security, although obviously better than the average senior manager.
I've been fighting the idea that video games were making kids stupid for decades (they do teach a lot of things and are extremely brain-intensive), but this time, this is backwards -- although this is still just ignorance and stereotypes at work.
Except antibiotics are curing people who would die otherwise, so it is concerning if antibiotics no longer work.
It should be kept as a last option against serious diseases (to save us the day a very bad one appears), instead of a way to increase agricultural productivity.
Before anything, I agree the H1B system has been abused, flooded and denatured by Indian companies for too long, which was actually preventing companies from hiring really talented individuals.
But O-1 have many problems as well. You can get an O-1 as an average/low PhD thanks to a couple of empty research papers, but you cannot hire a 10 year experienced expert in any domain. So O-1 are not going to fill the need for skilled persons in the US. Not for skill, not for numbers.
The ONLY way to distinguish skilled from non-skilled is by filtering on how much salary the company is willing to pay. Only problem is, the bay area will get the most part of it, but maybe it's not that bad since unemployment is worse elsewhere. It seems to be becoming part of the decision process anyway so maybe we're getting there.
So you're familiar with the field and you can't see how a script can replace manual configuration ?
I've seen that happen so many times... there are still many people in companies doing manual tasks. Then one day, you're asked to help them, but you don't want to waste your time, so you write a script and run it. And suddenly you've destroyed jobs (that maybe weren't justified but were real).
Most managers are not competent enough to write that script so they wouldn't question the time it takes to do things. And their team is full of non-technical people who are fine with doing repetitive things. Until one day a new hire breaks their world.
Except they are a video distribution platform (and quite monopolistic at that), not a political party. If they start filtering content to only relay selected ideas, then they will have a significant impact on the population ideas which can easily drive an election in one direction or the other.
Which is why regulation is important, and should be as important as the company is monopolistic and has an impact on the population. We don't need regulation for your personal web site, but we do need it for Facebook and Google because they have a huge power (hence huge responsibilities towards the population).
I was about to say the same. By the time the Académie Française finds new words, they're no longer used. What a bunch of useless morons. And what they find... "mobile multifunction"... what a joke.
I'm personally stunned to see the extend of the Intel-bashing. This "bug" has been around for years and everyone was fine. From a QA perspective, the product was (almost) perfect. Now, yes, a bug has been discovered after years... that's life.
I'm not an Intel fan but seriously, most people don't realize how tricky exploiting this flaw is. Yes, we have a good exploit now and it works remarkably well, which is why it is such a serious issue. But I can't blame Intel for that, except if they knew it was *that* serious and decided to ignore it.
But in every design there is a security risk and you investigate them and you conclude that some are not likely to happen and sometimes, you may be wrong. But this is a really non-trivial problem, and I'm very surprised to see everybody taking this as a "stupid bug" and ranting about Intel problems (which exist for sure but just like in any company).
But if that was such a stupid bug, why did it go unnoticed for years ??? Kudos to the security researchers finding it.
Indeed, which is why some managers believe that all programming isn't creative. And when they end up managing a team where innovation is critical, they screw up all innovation.
I'm wondering how you can mitigate that with a mesh of connections. Also it's highly dependent on where you are. Many places in the world never have any fog.
And those advices are mostly missing the point because scams will just get better. A well made scam would have no shady link, no PDF nor word.
You need proper procedure in all companies to make money transfers : either an oral confirmation, or an authenticated way to request transfers (or authenticated emails). People just don't know that there is no source authentication in emails.
There is still no proof about whether Kaspersky is actually leaking anything to the Russian government. Of course the US federal government doesn't want to use their products, which makes total sense because it is too much of a risk, but nothing, to my knowledge, has been proven.
Same for Chinese. You may consider the risk of using a Chinese phone, but so far neither Huawei nor Xiaomi have been caught selling data to their government. Even when some data was leaked to servers in China, it was never clear there was a political intent (opposed to just plain incompetence from the Chinese developers).
This kind of leaks go hardly unnoticed. You can't easily plant them without getting caught and if you do, the risks would be big. The most successful so far have been Google and Amazon, since no one could know if the US agencies had access to all the requests done through Alexa/Google assistant.
Quite the opposite. The focus seems to be on fp16 with tensor cores massively increasing the throughput at that precision. But fp64 is good as well, which could be good for other professional applications.

I think you could just read before replying. From OP : "I don't rent things, I buy things."

Wow, quoting "burden of proof" completely backwards. AC ... troll ?
I learned an english expression today.
They only track (very) large objects. Such small object are tiny specs of dust until they're in our atmosphere. Scale matters.
Reference ? I've been fighting against ridiculous password policies for years but I couldn't point to anything else than my opinion.
I was about to say the same. By the time the Académie Française finds new words, they're no longer used. What a bunch of useless morons. And what they find ... "mobile multifunction" ... what a joke.
No, that would be illegal. Wait ...
Yeah, like organize their own entrance exams like ... everywhere else ?

Yeah, plus, I have no idea what PSA means.
