Well as McDonalds (and many fastfood outlets) are just standard products, why not also let a machine do the creation of the burgers and meals. All you need is one or two 'supervisors' who can intervene if something goes wrong, instead of the 10+ personel now. It's already a sort of automatic process anyway.
knowing apple, they will have their own wirelesscharging system, so they can make extra money from selling the chargers. I do hope they will support Qi wireless charging, as most devices which have wireless charging support that standard. otherwise, just big finger to Apple, and hoping that the EU will call on them for not using a unified standard.
It all depends on the language and as you say compiler. but who says this app was written in C? it's an iOS app, so I doubt it. It's more likely to be written in cocoa where as you put it correctly int can be 32bit or 64bit. But i have no idea, as you cannot develop on windows for iOS (at least not compile and distribute).
It's propably declared as 'Int' which takes the size of the platform is runs on, so on a 32bit platform it will be 32bit, on a 64bit platform it will be 64bit, and so on.. Personally I don't like declarations like that, always just declare it as what you want it to be (int32, int64 or uint32 if you're not gonna go negative, which would have worked in this case too).
All religion is just brainwashing people.. Religion has never really done any good, only harm (thinking religion makes you happy is just deluting yourself, it's nothing more than believing in fairytales.. and as long as you know they are fairytales there is nothing wrong, but most people who strongly believe see them as real.) Taking away freedom of thought is what happens all the time, and especially in religion. There is no real freedom of thought.
This is a good example of why religion should be abolished throughout the world, ANY religion.. Religion has always been about control of the people, nothing more, nothing less. No law should EVER be based on religious stuff, and certainly religion should never be a reason why should be able to discriminate without problems, but if you say the same thing outside religion your bound to get in trouble.. Most wars are in the name of some religion, but all are about power and control..
I really hope not, Phyton is an ugly language, widely adopted or used doesn't say anything about the language being good.
People who complain that you can't build large scale systems without a compiler likely over-rely on the latter and are slaves to IDEs. If you write good unit tests and enforce Test Driven Development, the compiler becomes un-necessary and gets in the way. You are forced to provide too much information to it (also known as boilerplate) and can't quickly refactor code, which is necessary for quick iterations.
What nonsense is that? someone who says something like that has never really done any real development and is just a hack..
Why the hell are you a slave to an IDE if you're using a compiler, how does the writer of the article do it's refactoring or test driven development. I don't buy for second he/she does everything by hand.
Any OS isn't safe it you don't update it regularly, MacOS and Linux are also very unsafe if you don't keep it updated, it's not like those OSses are any safer than current Windows is. Only reason why those seem to be safer is due to it still not having enough (dumb) users for hackers to target it.
and yet another attempt at getting 15 minutes of fame.. Using a security hole that has been fixed almost 3 months ago, with an OS that updates itself about every week, so unless you really have updates turned off and never manually loaded updates it's mute.. Why do these guys even get attention?
There used to be special tapes for that, that did most of the cleaning and demagnitizing, but it's always better to let a REAL professional clean the heads manually. But yeah, I guess mostly it will be due to bad/old/dirty heads and not really the tape itself (ofcourse there is always an exception as people don't always store the tapes in the best places, I saw someone who actually put the tapes on their speakerset and wondered why the tapes got bad).
funny, as I still think that most movies from the 80's and 90's are way better than any crap that is put out today, and funny enough a lot of it are remakes which are worse then their originals.
Yeah, that would be great if this AI could actually create these stuff from ANY picture. BUT it can only generate stuff from pictures that have been made with predefined tools....... and that's where this is just all bullocks, as most mockup tools can already generate code for any given platform. This article seems more like a plug by the developers themselves as at the moment it doesn't add anything to the already existing platforms.. Also not to forget, this can only generate to frameworks it knows, so the claim it can do Android iOS and Web is just another bullocks claim, as what framework does it target on those platforms.. Currently with the latest version of visual studio 2017 you can do exactly the same (and even more platforms)..
Yes you are right with products like that (even though a real decent keyboard is still quite expensive).. But a bottle of coca cola (or a big mac) has only increased in price during the last 50 years, not decreased, and the productionline for creating those foodproducts have been bettered so it's cheaper for them to create the products..
Don't count on anything getting cheaper, lower costs only means higher profits. With the current rate of automisation due to robotics and AI we really need to look for another way of life, this 'work for money to be able to live' just isn't sustainable anymore in 1 or 2 decades. We are actually already too late and a lot of people will suffer due to our unwillingness to look forward and deal with this problem.
But it's the people that define the law, if you don't agree with it, you'll have to go another route.. If the judge rules in favor for scihub, that just means it'll open a shitcan of other possibilities. Well people who like childporn can just share it, as they think it should be available even though it's illegal. Publishing stuff without permission is illegal at this moment. She just has to find another way to get it around it or just deal with it and pay.
It's not like Linux is any more secure than Windows currently is. Linux has just as much exploits in it, but most of them aren't still known (at least not publicly). The more people will use it, the more it will be targeted by malwaremakers and hackers.. Don't think for a second Linux is so much better secured than any other OS..
Next 8 years? don't count on it. In the end yes, but that'll take a decade or 2 at minimum. Also the current tech is still in it's infancy and not yet ripe for complete replacement of regular engines. Within 8 years moste NEW vehicles that will be sold will be electric, but let's not forget there are a gazillion cars still on the road, and a lot of people just don't have the money to buy a new car, and will buy a used car, which will still in most cases be a regular car as elecric used ones are still pretty expensive. And it's still easier to fix a regular car than an electric car, especially with the advances 3D printing is making which makes it easier to just print the parts needed.
So, in the end, yes the petrol car will go the way of the dodo, but not within 8 years.
Now if only they made a nice looking SUV (and no, Tesla's model X is NOT a nice looking SUV).
A review of our current economical situation is needed for how we need to move on for the near future. Advanced in robotica and A.I. are enormous and will only make bigger leaps, which will mean a lot of people will loose their jobs (yes even office-people) and there won't be any new jobs created. So we have to figure out how to get around this and how people are gonnan 'pay' for stuff. Maybe we need to move to a system were one does not 'pay' anymore. It's a very difficult subject and it will be hard to figure out how to solve (as humans still want power and fortune, that's just the nature of us)..
supercomputers have been used for years, trillions of dollars have been poured into cancer research.. and we all know there already are real cures to cancer, but it's still more profitable to design/sell drugs for reducing cancer instead of curing it. So the actual cures are locked in some vaults and only available to a very small portion of people.
what's the use for a pharmaceutical company to actually produce a cure, which would cure everybody and that's it, there it ends, no more extra income..
A coffee machine also makes coffee automatically even though a long time ago we had a coffee-person for that, so when is it a robot and when is it just an automated appliance?

that tax would have been ridiculous. If you're gonna tax robots than you should also tax calculators and other automated processes..
Good everyone using slashdot should be fined $4000...
