If efficiency and pedantic(s) are going to be invoked, wouldn't it be easier to have the headline read, "unlock phones," since it turns out that Apple is currently dealing with multiple requests from GOV?

The lies that so many of the citizenry buy into are far from nuanced. Rather, they are bald-faced. Often, the liars simply rely on Status Conferral, Ignorance, and Indifference to get by. I contend that Twitter is as much hindrance as help.

I'm not seeing an article about a war on cash. Rather, I'm seeing an article about the elimination of instruments that are not Global Reserve Currencies. The idea that the US would do away with FRNs has so many outcomes/level

I already know parts of the world hate me, because I come from the country that engages in drone strikes.

You are probably correct. I remember so little abut VL. Looks like it's time for a re-read...

Yep. And two of Gibson's Bridge Triology. Most notably, Idoru.

What I get from reading the article and comments is that while the elements of the prize winner's solution have been available, the novelty is in their application. Did someone already arrive at their solution, and simply not try to cl

Doesn't the "I" in "I.R.S." stand for "Internal?"

Does this mean Kodak has a lot of nuclear testing related information that can be had without going through FOIA requests?

Wasn't that originally MST3K?

Sorry, left out the "e" in "Neural."

Title seems like click bait to me. Article is an interesting bit about Nural Networks in specific, not AI in general. Also, not seeing any "revolution" going on.

Great run for all-original equipment. I worked at Shell's Westhollow Research Center in the mid-90s. We handled the nightmare of standardizing the desktop space (for the first time ever). A lab was decommisioning an instrument controll

Very sorry, I had Hunt And Tony playing each others instruments...

A sad way to start my day. His version of Hallo Spaceboy w/ Foo Fighters immediately came to mind. Wrong bit in the article... Tony Sales was the drummer in Tin Machine. His brother is Hunt Sales, who was the bass player in the same ba

Maybe a Black Hole destroys information, or perhaps it changes information to a form that we can't (yet) recognize. Presently, both of those states would look the same to us.

Would, "Microsoft Reveals Details Collected Through Windows 10 Tracking" be more appropriate?

Not having read the EULA / Terms of Service (I don't run Windows 10), Would running a script to turn off / block the tracking and data collection violate the agreements?

Sorry, not directly answering your question... I am not suggesting he do anything to be more or less of a Luddite (IIRC, he uses a very nice fountain pen).

The thing that rang the loudest (for me) from his comment was irony.

"Cultivate an identity as a Luddite." This coming from someone who writes their first draft using pen and paper.

Yes. When I was doing peer review work in my field (Mass Com), it took about a year to get the landscape sorted. That includes being able to ID people behind submissions, based on writing style. Unfortunately, I saw submissions get down vot

What I find far more... something than FERPA being described as "an obscure law," is how brazen and obvious Google is about breaking it. If Google is a "School Official," their FERPA obligations do not stop at any point

"Took on its users and won." The writer needs to understand the difference between winning battles, and winning a war. The reddit Higher Ups went after the easy stuff. Let's see them do a full clean out of NSFW. And no, I am

As of 30 Dec 2015 @ 0822 hrs US CST, the link generates a Traffic Quota Exceeded error. Heck, that's one of the reasons why I still occasionally peddle to work.
