But would you take her word for the truth? Also that's a good reminder for those nostalgic of the old days. Back when marriage was for life, abandoning your spouse was more common than you'd like to think.

Interesting article. I've been offline for a long time too. There are 2 components to this problem: One is the inherent "disconnected-ness" of reality without the internet (which is both good and bad, depending on the occasio

My realization from this article is a worrying trend of developing AI ASICS behind closed doors and only using them internally in your own datacenters or renting them through an abstraction, as a service. Given how it's 2018 and we sti

Bloomberg is now measuring energy in Megawatts? How comes almost all of the pro-renewable articles are written by buffoons? 10 years ago I would never guess that a dumb trend would go as far as destabilizing the entire western economy.

It's deceiving to say that a US-led attack on Soviet Union (even a nuclear one) was out of the realm of possibility at the time. The author forgets about the nuclear weapons race, and the fact that most people in power were very much

Exactly. I find it alarming that so many people make bizzare comments as if they understand nothing about basic mathematics. It feels like I'm on reddit again, and I don't want to.

Adding noise just amplifies the total signal intensity, allowing it to exceed a threshold for detection. It's not really amplification, and there's no real resonance. You cannot have a signal resonate with random noise, mixing an

It sounds like a specific playground for parents that want to feel special. It's a ridiculous idea, and dangerous for the kids.

Usually you don't need to go that far back. The fact that the photon emmiter always emmits pairs with opossite spin is good enough.

Great point, more people need to know about this "small" detail.

There's no problem. The copenhagen interpretation is a joke, same as the "spooky action at a distance". The formula to reproduce this mess is too many PhDs with zero intuition, a hierarcical system based on seniority where s

Yep, this is one situation where it's actually reasonable. The fact that they both used automatic triggering, and that took a lot of pictures over the period of the thunderstorm make it realistic. I personally don't believe the ma

Correct. People try to make just about politics or the "naive masses" who follow the populists. It's not. South and East europe are damned to an eternally declining economy if they don't leave the EU. There is no interes

Why should they be changing all the time? Paypal already dominates the market. There's not much they need to do, and there's not much that needs to be done. It's an online payments system, not a game. It doesn't need to

The subsidies do have a reason to exist, but I agree that they're misdirected. They could directly fund R&D of battery/EV/aerospace technology instead of subsidizing luxury vehicles that only serve as a novelty for the ri

Or you just allow the CEO to pump and dump the company, because the 1%/year stock will be absolutely massive while riding the hype and when things go south he can just quit and buy half the bahamas. There are much better ways to tie CE

Exactly. The article is really bad and serves only to confuse those with no experience in high-dimensional mathematics.

The originator of GIF calls his creation "jiff". That doesn't make it right. And I don't know what you've been reading, but research and serious journalists don't use the term so lightly. Maybe parts of the gen

>Are there _any_ apps actually taking advantage of this yet Yes, apple is harvesting your high-quality biometrics using this. 5 years down the line someone will leak the data and your face will end up on some weird porno series.

Words have almost no impact compared to visual imagery. Even if the words come from the mouth or pen of a respected individual, you can still doubt it, and usually people do. However, whether we like it or not, everything we see, at least o

I wish I had the level of audacity or ignorance these people have and send plaintext user data over http, write half-assed webapps that just look pretty but offer no security etc etc. I would be in a much better place right now from a profe

I had a couple "similar" experiences. For a long time now, Google has been collecting data and building shadown profiles, but so far they never used their data for ads. At least not in any apparent way. But recently, I noticed t

In order to make these decisions enforceable we need to collaborate with ISPs to anonymize traffic. Government action is necessary. I've contemplated far too long on this problem and there's no other solution. You can make them

Exactly. At best, a company like Uber could provide a logistics service to taxi drivers and transport companies. Ride-sharing, optimized route planning, easy dispatching etc are all nice features and make the service cheaper by reducing o

I would definitely suggest not using epilepsy patients as lab rats. First off, the article says "Machine learning is inherently notoriously inscrutable" which is extremely wrong and ignorant. Then they proceed to demonstrate how t
