It's not so much that Nuance is known for being the best for a long time, it's more that they've bought out all their competitors and have pretty much controlled the market.
It's mostly that they were afraid of losing market share to Alexa Voice Service, which was opened up to developers a while ago.
I'm waiting for the single instruction that renders all my html5, runs all my Javascript and decodes all my video in 80 cycles. My poor old computer grinds to a halt when I open my 35 tabs.
I agree, but it's hard to justify security to upper management until they see a threat. Your best bet is to find two vulnerabilities. Exploit one anonymously, watch them raise the bounty and collect on the second.
Infrastructure is a worthy cause and you should allow voluntary contributions as a tax deduction. Hell just let rich people set the priority and you'll see those funds. Let them bling out their roads.
Is that fair to poor communities?
I think so as long as it doesn't reduce current funding on their roads. You can even add a surcharge on the rich roads to pay for the poor roads.
It's not always marketings fault. For example I know plenty of brilliant "engineers" who don't understand why global memory is a bad thing. He's great at solving problems but the code is atrocious. I know other great coders who can't think outside of the box and be creative, but if you tell them exactly what to work on they produce good results.
Great engineers have a good balance of creativity, discipline, skill, intelligence and drive. Usually I identify them by their willingness to learn new things.
To add to that an individual decrease for some. A net increase for all. What's not to get?
We're going to automate 50% of the workforce right out of their jobs anyway, so I'd rather have lower pay then people on the streets.
It's been my experience that when you get great software developers together it creates demand for more software developers. I don't think a simple supply and demand model works.
Think about how many software jobs wouldn't exists without the Linux Kernel. Enabling technology creates more jobs than congress could ever hope to.
Wifi on Linux is often available first on Android. The full mac driver is actually pretty good in my opinion. What is confusing is that many have chosen to use the Android driver on a few projects and the mainline tree has a different driver. Both were based on the same closed source driver apparently.
I've ran into issues with Broadcom, atheros and Intel wifi on my laptops. I'm sure the other vedors are no exception. New hardware or old kernels are usually the problem.
Isn't this the whole point behind the rust effort? Programmers can't be trusted with writing correct code without a type system that forces you to think about correctness.
Seriously these bugs should be caught by the compiler.
Many of these bugs can be found with static analysis of the object code. It should be even easier to find them in the compiler.
The most likely exploit on a Hypervisor is with a Paravirtualized driver.
I used to crash VirtualBox trying to run an opengl on a Ubuntu guest. If I recall correctly it was crashing because VB didn't support some shared Opengl context thing. If it's running with graphics it shouldn't take long to exploit.
More IoT robots, more data, more money. Eventually you won't be able to shit without a robot assisting you wiping your ass and telling Google. Privacy is dead.
Amazon has the right idea. Thousands of cloud connected drones. Google needs to improve their cloud controlled car, but that's a little bit more difficult. Both companies need to focus more on the IoT aspect of robotics because that's where the money's at.
Stay away from building the hardware. It's a money pit.
I haven't been following the desktop development, but NVIDIA has finally been stepping up with their Tegra 210(TX1) development. ARMV8 is awesome. Considerable progress has been made with mainline integration. For the longest time they were stuck on kernel 3.10. I'm glad they finally got it. Once they get the xhci driver merged I think they will be golden, but they have an nasty pinmux in the way complicating things.
Too bad steam for Linux will probably never work on ARMv8.
Why the imputed incredulity in the summary that a new linux kernel has been released? Two months doesn't sound like it's a particularly long period for it to be 'finally' here.
I'm excited about 4.6. I'm hoping for Tegra support in mainline. Right now it sucks.
The last odd kernel was released in 2003. In 2.6 stable and unstable merged. Kernel 3.0 wasn't even a drastic change. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/2...
Between 2.4 and 2.6 linux was drastically overhauled. We really don't need separate non stable versions anymore. Plus version control is far better now.

The speech goes into retraining the machine. They profit from the transcribed data as well.

In America federally mandated is synonymous with government run.
Look at Obama care. With the rhetorical you'd think the government is coming into our homes and sticking thermometers up or asses.
You've got to admit though, Royally chartered statutory corporations are influenced by the government.
It's not that simple, they'll have to sign the binary. *Sarcasm*

I'm fairly certain that it's an analogy fail, similar to "the Internet is a series of tubes."
I'm as lost as you and the summary only confused me more.

Don't blame the mass media. President Hubert Hoover used the phrase rugged individualism often long before the 24 hour news cycle.

Have you ever been in a comcast customer service center? That place is depressing. I'm not surprised by this at all.
The robot will wash your hands for you.
Oh come on. It couldn't possibly be that simple. I write software for a living and even I know to look for back emf first.

They are talking about just in time activation of permissions. The permissions automatically expire after some period of time.
Not sure if that's sarcasm. If you're a US telecom with less than a $100 billion market cap you're a mom and pop business.
Verizon and at&t are greater than $200 billion and comcast is at $144.

Many times open source someone has already asked the question and it's been answered answered: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Doc...
Are you seriously still complaining about this?
