Sceptre... something. Not a smart TV, but I really don't care since I'm connecting it to a Shield TV.
You don't realize exactly how little you understand the subject either. All your comments are totally empty and you make absolutely no point.
The improvement of AI technology over the last two-three years made AI better than humans in many fields. Go game is one thing. Driving is another. AI is better at driving as human already, because sight is now as good as human (even better when you add a radar) and reaction time is 100 times lower. Insurance companies won't have a problem, because better driver means less accidents. As of laws... it seems some states are OK with it.
You're right. If you don't want to benefit from a stable country and infrastructures, just move to an island in the Pacific. That's in fact the contract and it's about living together (yes, with others, less educated, less wealthy, who clean your street and wash your car).
Your parents choose that for you when you were born. If you want to continue living in the US, you have to pay to stay in this country. This cost is decided by everyone in the country i.e. through democratic elections (even if how democratic they are can be debated, but the US isn't the worst country for that.). You may choose to move to another country where country costs are lower but live is much less attractive (like in east africa). I'm sure they'll like to see someone rich there -- though you may get attacked by a random guy or find yourself in the middle of a war.
All countries in the world do that (except those which artificially live from natural non-infinite resources), and the US is actually in a pretty good situation. Get your head out of your a.. and start figuring out how the world works.
All that said, the taxes arrive as an arbitrary measure that you may feel you have little power to fight against them. Talk to people in Europe where the EU committee deciding EU-wide rules are very indirectly elected. Democracy and decisions could be much better explained and transparency is key if you want to avoid everybody having the feeling of being "robbed".
So you think the system is broken, fight for transparency. But stop pushing that stupid argument of "I'm not using it, I don't want to pay for it !" even if social stability seems to be beyond your understanding.
The strength of a password is is difficulty to guess. A popular password cannot be strong.
What is misleading is that for the last 15 years now, stupid security has been around and promoting password with special characters, numbers, uppercase,... touting those as "Strong" passwords. WEll, that would be true if they were random. But they are not.
If your brute force cracker is as stupid as those meters, yes, it will be hard to find Password1!. But if you're running a list of common password or using state of the art deep learning to try to act as a human instead of a stupid algorithm, Password1! is immediate to find.
I was pissed off every time I saw a website with a stupid password meter or requirement 5 years ago. Finally some people try to stop this madness, but this will not be easy.
I think you got it wrong. The point here is that password meters are just enforcing stupid rules, they don't do any good and they provide a false sense of security. The password strength they show is based on the utterly stupid idea that human choose random passwords.
But humans are humans, not machines. Our brains are not designed to retain random passwords. So what happens ? People try to find a good password. But the meter says "no, not 32 characters long". So they just say "fuck, I'm not a machine", and "Passwooooooooooooooooooooooord1!". Done, stupid meter.
Your comment is completely off-topic here since the issue is about happiness and tasks.. at home, which will be unaffected.
And in fact, if universal income is a potential answer to the disappearance of jobs (replaced by -say- AI), it doesn't solve a bigger problem : can we live a happy life with no task at all ?
The answer may be no, and humans will need to find other non-remunerated tasks to keep them busy and happy.
No. Only that the outcome should be : our next-gen CPU is 20% faster/cooler/... than current gen CPUs. Being equivalent to current products is kind of disappointing.
Yes, the HPC world is waiting for KNL because they don't want to port their old codes to CUDA. But that's just the expectation : people are starting to realize that running a Xeon code on KNL is by no mean immediate and you won't get much performance boost without a serious application rewrite... just like porting to GPUs, maybe slightly easier though.
But on the performance side, it is very clear that KNL performance is terrible. The fact that Intel only shows scaling figures is quite funny : it is very easy to make a slow code scale, because computation times are high compared to communication times. To have good scaling, you can either have a faster interconnect or a slower CPU. Since they're never showing performance comparison but only "scaling", I'd bet it is the latter.
To illustrate, say the speed of your code is 1 on 1 CPU, and 32 on 32 CPUs, scaling is perfect. If the speed is 100 on one GPU, and 2400 on 32 GPUs, the scaling is not perfect and you can show the scaling curve from Intel saying "hey, we scale better !". That's ridiculous.
In every country (France is no exception) the minister in charge of intelligence agencies has the duty to push such measures. It doesn't mean it will work, nor that even the minister thinks it is good.
Intelligence agencies don't give a shit about citizen rights, they just want their job to be easier. That makes sense, but that doesn't mean they will win eventually.
This actually shows how great autopilot can be, especially if it combines a camera, radar, and other sensors, compared to humans who can be sooo easily defeated.
But in any case, this is just about attacking a car : it is illegal. There are many other (cheap) ways to cause an accident : blow a tire, use light, fumes, oil, ice, or use a missile. If someone wants to attack a car, there are plenty of choices.
Maybe the only difference here is that it may be hard to understand afterwards what happened. The secret services may like that.
Not true. Low-end 4k TVs (Sceptre, Seiki,...) are not smart TV. Which is good, since I basically want my TV to be a computer screen, that I connect to my Shield.
Not in the UK, BT (Bouygues Telecom) is an ISP in France !
I don't think it is about British Telecom, the editor would have replaced BT by "British Telecom" so that everybody can understand what the article is about.
Mod parent up. I don't get why this is modded as "Troll".
I was indeed astonished to see that the S6 Edge+ didn't have an SD card slot, given the size of the phone, the awesome quality of the camera (you don't want to store everything on Google reduced-quality cloud) and... the price !
I don't get what Samsung wants to do here. We don't care that much about speed, we want capacity (that increases over the years so we can upgrade our phone), and phones with SD card slots.
True, but that's a shame. If justice was a real thing, the final decision should not be dependent on the defense (so that if you can't afford an attorney you're not punished for that).
Growth is the important term here. Of course it is decreasing, now that basically everyone has a smartphone. You cannot go above 100% of the market. It used to grow a lot when people were transitioning from dumbphones to smartphones.
So, yes, people change their phone less often, but the 2010 figures were mostly the transition to smartphones.
You like swype typing, fine. Though, don't talk about things you don't know. I loved my physical keyboard because I could just launch anything on android without even looking at my phone.
On the home screen, just type the name of any contact and type enter. Will go to that contact. Type any app name.. will launch it.
Not necessarily, since game consoles tend to be good hardware/price compromise and games are optimized for those platforms since there are a lot of them.
The gamers (with occasional desktop needs) will buy the Xbox ; the desktopers (with occasional gaming) will buy a laptop/desktop. The extreme gamers will build their own crazy-GPU configuration.
That just a natural response to steam/linux. I'm even surprised it took so long for them to enable any windows PC to run XBOX games since the XBOX is a PC running windows.
You have gained exactly nothing if the Capital first letter is enforced by the password policy.
Those password policies drive me crazy. They make no sense from the average user perspective, only to the CIO that can say "see, we're very annoying with our password policy, so that makes us very secure". And if anyone chooses Password1! as a password, it is their fault !!

True, but that's a shame. If justice was a real thing, the final decision should not be dependent on the defense (so that if you can't afford an attorney you're not punished for that).
Not true. I had better internet speed in Europe than I have now in silicon Valley for twice the price.
Stop commenting a stupid comment from a stupid guy from a stupid company.
This does not make any point nor sense. Was it supposed to be funny ? a troll ?
