"Would you like some toast? Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast. No? How about a muffin then? Nothing? You know the last time you had toast. 18 days ago, 11.36, Tuesday 3rd, two rounds. I mean, what's the point in buying a toaster with artificial intelligence if you don't like toast. I mean, this is my job. This is cruel, just cruel."
I was surprised when I heard that they pushed an advertisement out, and shocked when they tried to defend it. Now they're saying it's not an ad because they didn't get money (note the weaseling) for it? That's Don Draper-esque level hubris.
Remembering something is like reading a DRAM bit. You read it, and then you re-write it. This is why memory is fallible.

And what makes you think that Google Fiber will actually be any better?
Yes, I've used the Google Free WiFi in Mountain View. It was crap. What's now known as 1X celluar data service was faster and more reliable.
The issue here isn't that MAC addresses are unique, it's that users aren't bright enough or are too lazy to turn off wi-fi detection when they're not using it.
Exactly.
As to the "large" address space - it's large if the random-number generator is actually random and has been seeded with a unique value. We've seen lots of bugs and exploits show up because those two conditions were not met.
Because people have no sense of history.
Instagram isn't (necessarily) cross-processing. Most of the effects just make photos look as if you've stored them in sunlight for a few years. Photos back then didn't look like that - they were a bit grainier than what we expect now, but they certainly didn't look washed out.
Route learning? "First play this, walk to the center of the stage, play that, kneel, play the other thing, stand up, go back to the bassist and play this again."
Or do you mean "rote learning"?
All the elements for the latter are in place, except for private ownership of printed material. However, if no-one reads them, then it really doesn't matter what they say.
As to being about to get humans out of Terra's g-field...sigh. And Hard AI is so much harder than what anyone had imagined. And is much harder than what the Transhumanists and Singularists could possibly imagine.
Read and watch "2001: A Space Odyssey". (The book and the movie were developed simultaneously and you really need one to fully understand the other. I'd read the book first.) Then read "2010: Odyssey Two". Both written by Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Psychedelics optional where permitted by law, sitter who knows and loves the story highly advised.

7. Corpses, human and otherwise.
But who knows "The Loss of the Antelope"?

wasn't there already a story about females in tech?
Yesterday's (Monday's?) story about whether Grace Hopper could get hired in today's SV.
That may end up being a bad habit for her: http://ehtrust.org/keep-that-cell-phone-out-of-your-bra/

"Very small" - how many problems have we seen where the RNG used hasn't been adequate or was seeded with the same value across multiple devices?
And if two devices randomize to the same MAC? That Would Be Bad.

Why yes, I do have that URL memorized. Sigh.
Another vote for MSE. It Works.
There's a perfect sound track for this: "Space Junk", by DEVO
Watch out for thatOOOHtreeeee!

Android rootkits, too, have been flagged (on windows) for a long time because "it's malware from a software/hardware manufacturer's point of view".
Someone missed a few fine points when the read the Cliffs Notes for Greek Myth.
So says the guy with the seven-digit account number.

Pounds Sterling. Fucking limey.
Just tell your computer it's a US keyboard and touch-type. You can touch-type, can't you?
