If you dig around a bit, you'll see that the artist did not make her photos public domain. She licensed them to the Library of Congress and gave a permissive license for anyone else to use them --- presumably including to sell them --- as long as users give notification that the these are the photographer's work. Nonetheless, she retains copyright. This is basically a BSD-style license. Getty is not only suing her for using her own copyrighted work, but is also not informing customers that they're her work, in violation of the license. She's suing to preserve the terms of her license.
Anti-reproductive rights, anti-gun, pro-war, pro-globalism. Chuck Todd described him as a "comfort choice," which is a great way to spin boring. Kill me now.
And the only feature that actually makes them any deadlier in the hands of a bad guy is the magazine. Reclassify rifle-caliber mags over 10 rounds and pistol-caliber mags over 20 rounds as Class III devices and you've basically done all the useful work that an AWB might do.
Normally I don't respond to Anonymous Cowards, but you'll note that I attributed this to Jon Hall. I was there when he said it. You can Google this and see that he said it, exactly as I stated he said it. Simply put, you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly stop being an idiot.
If I understand correctly what I'm reading about the biomarker gasses, it's not just the absence or presence of a gas or gasses, but the quantities, and the profile of those quantities in normal vs. diseased lungs. So, they're hooking it up to a pattern classifier. In the prototype stage you need a computer with a fair amount of power --- fortunately these days a smart phone will do. Down the road I imagine they could hook it up to a FPGA or six and eventually engineer it down to one chip, but that's a lot more engineering and likely years down the road.
He came from way behind to win the nomination. It's not a stretch to believe he could come from behind to win the general election as well. It's a tough path, but he can hit Clinton from the left and the right on economic and foreign policy issues. His main disadvantage is that he alienates people, and Clinton knows how to make someone else's gaffe stick.
I remember it was hot in 2001. I remember visiting again in 2004 and it was desolate. I'm surprised it lasted this long.
You know what site I really miss? Segfault.org. That was seriously funny stuff, and ahead of its time. Too bad the hard drive on which it ran crashed and left an unrecoverable mess.
US officials confirmed that operations launched out of Fort Meade have focused on disrupting the group’s online activities. The officials said the effort is getting under way as operators try a range of attacks to see what works and what doesn’t. They declined to discuss details, other than to say that the attacks include efforts to prevent the group from distributing propaganda, videos, or other types of recruiting and messaging on social media sites such as Twitter, and across the Internet in general.
Other attacks could include attempts to stop insurgents from conducting financial or logistical transactions online.
Several US officials spoke about the cyber campaign on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. Much of the effort is classified.
Well, that's just it: how do you define security? The problem that the United States has is that computer system security and DHS anti-terrorism efforts have conflicting priorities, in no small part because we've become lazy about HUMINT.
What I'm curious about is what the Slashdot summary would have been like if this bot had started promoting the leftist, so-called "social justice" ideology instead of the rightist ideology it apparently adopted.
Generating fake email that's good enough to pass most humans' scrutiny is ridiculously easy; I used to do it as a prank, to prove a point about why we need to use GnuPG signatures all the time.
Maybe this is me wanting the kids off my lawn, but I don't think I've ever wanted a technology launch to fail so badly. The potential for abuse and bloat is just enormous.
It looks like Microsoft is well on their way towards embracing Linux. Of course, what worries me is what comes AFTER embracing and extending. You old-time Slashdotters know what I'm talking about, right?
Have you considered online education towards a certificate in machine learning? For example, The University of Washington, via Coursera, offers a certificate in Machine Learning after about 30 weeks of study and a capstone project. You'll need some background in statistics, and familiarity with Python, and you'll have to put in several hours a week. Total cost is about $500.

I'm underwhelmed by such firearms --- they seem likely to waste gunpowder.
Star Trek is a world of continual technological progress, whereas Star Wars is a world in technological and cultural decline.
The ACLU is against using the watch lists for background checks. See https://www.aclu.org/blog/wash... for example.

HAHAHAHAHAno.

Clearly it was a reflection off a window. (Collects check from alien conspiracy.)

Chrome has all the disadvantages of Firefox
Really? Because video on Firefox sucks ass, but on Chrome it's slicker than snot.
The school district acted inappropriately. A written apology is warranted. But even I want to tell the kid's family to GTFO at that price tag.
