Well, if we evacuate the atmosphere of the planet and tidally lock it (might need to move a bit closer to the sun) such that Texas is on the cold side, that should mean all you need then is a heater and you can basically keep your box running at/near 0C constantly. Added bonus that without atmosphere there'll be no condensation and much less work for the camera software.
Does the author not realize that when you have latency measured in minutes, hours, days and years, the cloud might not be a very good choice for storage?
The "Graphing Mode" is one of 30+ suggestions that open-source contributors have proposed so far.
The feature was proposed by Microsoft engineer Dave Grochocki, also a member of the Windows Calculator team.
Err, so was he a Microsoft engineer who was already working on the calculator program, or was he an open-source contributor (while I understand he could be both, it's highly misleading to state the former since it engenders a sense that the proposer was actually an individual outside of the dev team working on the program).
For a moment, just one, think of what "autopilot" actually is. I mean the real thing.
Set a heading, set a speed, it flies in that direction and screams at you if something bad happens. Exactly what Tesla Autopilot does. In an aircraft, autopilot does not "fly the plane on its own" and it absolutely has to have a registered pilot present while it's engaged. Autopilot, in aircraft, is literally a pilot assist, just like Tesla's Autopilot is a driver assist.
Maybe it's a test of basic courtesy? When you enter someone's details, they get contacted and asked if someone asked their permission to post their email address. If they say no, an orbital laser fries the brain of the person who DIDN'T HAVE THE COMMON FUCKING COURTESY TO ASK BEFORE SHARING PEOPLE'S DETAILS.
Onto a more legitimate point, at least they are asking people and not just skimming it all automatically.
This is likely in response to the recent discovery that pedophilia groups were making comments that effectively "tagged" the video and what point to skip to in it, for particular tastes to be fulfilled. A child's gymnastic video would most likely fit in that category.
They had a few major advertisers pull their ads for this reason.
Ultimately, the comment section is up to the video owner to police, it seems.
Like the others, I was here to say this. Using a script blocker, and all I got was a plain background. Not even a single image or warning would load without JS.
Fair point. But I imagine it doesn't "suddenly" kill. I had symptoms of crohn's disease for six months before the anal bleeding actually started (that's kinda a good wakeup call). My doctor had it diagnosed within a week (colonoscopy) and had me on powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-immune drugs, and antibiotics.
The immune inhibitors suck ass pretty badly, but not as much as the pain when you're not on them.
I guess I should have included a statement that "sudden" death from crohn's doesn't happen, and death from it is unheard of if it is being managed properly.
See, now this is the thing. Crohn's disease doesn't kill you. I have it, and as you can imagine I looked into what it does that will eventually kill you. It doesn't.
Since it's an autoimmune disease, however, you need to take two kinds of meds to deal with it:
Anti-immune drugs Anti-inflamatory drugs
Unless he had a severe reaction to either, the main killer of a crohn's sufferer is infection due to lowered immune system. While this definitely is dangerous, like diabetic patients it is drummed into you that if you get ANY kind of infection, you go straight to hospital to have it dealt with.
If the person died, they died of stupidity (either their own or whatever doctor they ran to not taking it seriously enough), but they didn't die of crohn's disease.
And the problem is worse thanks to how Facebook et-al work. People end up in bubbles of "friends" that all agree with them, so it makes a dissenting voice (like a movie review) seems abhorrent to them.
It's even better, the further it is away the lower the efficiency of the charger. The guy basically built a way to piss power into the wind and sometimes top off the batteries of his drone.
Not only did you pen one of the most opinionated pieces of "journalism" ever, but you used a filler-word, um, in a formal written document.
With all due respect
People who use this phrase never show any, nor are worthy of any.
mumbo jumbo
What are all these wires? What the hell's a mouse? How do I windows?
Parents from all parts of the political spectrum understand that “personalized learning” is Silicon Valley propaganda
So much bias it's like all I have is a right speaker.

In short, go back to journalism school.
In long, how about you title opinion pieces accordingly and not pretend they are in any way news. Also, go back to any school you attended and demand a refund, then learn how to write a formal document.
"Each author worked on a room in isolation, not knowing the details of other authors' assignments. The result is a sprawling, puzzle-dense game that will at turns delight, confound, amuse, and horrify."
... and contain practically no overarching narrative. Essentially, it's a collection of smaller games that may/may not have any relation to each other except that they all happen in a room.
The logical solution would be to insert a false delay of 3-5 seconds whenever the user types something to the CSR's replies so that it is never perceived to be answering too fast.
As for the creepiness factor—you're typing stuff into a text box on a website, nothing should be considered hidden from them.
Slashdot Mirror
I can promise you the linguist didn't write that. No linguist worth their salt would use an extra dot for an ellipsis-as-a-comma.
Slashdot writers probably shouldn't either.

Cloud cloud cloud.

They're doing fake-retro, not actual retro. The thing doesn't even load a single piece of text without scripting.
I know! It loaded instantly for me. Shame that it absolutely requires scripting to do anything, but the blank page loaded instantly!

This latency sucks.
What, next year?
In noticing that the article linked is 5 years old?
I mean, I know /. usually lags a little, but this is crazy.
And the problem is worse thanks to how Facebook et-al work. People end up in bubbles of "friends" that all agree with them, so it makes a dissenting voice (like a movie review) seems abhorrent to them.
There is nothing in the source that hints that Netflix are at all interested in using this, and there is nothing at all that links them with Netflix.
This company and/or the various "news" outlets spreading this are piggybacking on Netflix's name to push a new tech with FUD.
It's even better, the further it is away the lower the efficiency of the charger. The guy basically built a way to piss power into the wind and sometimes top off the batteries of his drone.
Ugh. Out of mod points, but I'll sit here and think really positive thoughts at you for a minute, okay?

I would bloody well hope that any change would be dramatic after eight years of changing.

What is really news here? A worker with a forklift could do this just as easily and readily as a robot.

Nepotism, plain and simple.
