Still, as a US citizen you should be upset because the NSA went way too far and got caught. Non-US citizen (inc. me) are just upset because they've been spied on. That's quite reasonable.

People don't only claim that the market is dying, they also say that PCs will simply disappear [1]. And that's a huge difference for the application developers so it's not only about being smart, that's a very relevant q

- If health insurance companies know you're sick, they won't insure you. - If airline companies know you have a good reason to travel, they're going to rise the price. ... So yes, privacy is an issue.

Well, I would argue that this article really is an introduction to functional programming using Haskell . Most of the concepts he/she introduce are not specific to Haskell but are more or less specific to functional programming langua

ahaha thanks :) I checked on LibreOffice and naively assumed that anything else would have a more modern icon set.

And I've just noticed that the "save file" icon in word processors isn't a floppy disk as it used to be.

Good question, I am not sure :) There can be many reasons. But the problem modeling is surely very different in its D-Wave form so the fact that there are improvements doesn't mean that it is because of quantum effects. Other than th

I think this is confusing. If C++ has to go because the paradigm is wrong, because it has to be replaced by say more functional languages, OK. But then so does Java, C# and so on. Now, if C++ has to go because of some language aspects , I

It is actually a very crucial question: If the D-Wave machine is a just quantum computer emulator supported by classical hardware, we cannot expect much improvement in the future due to the inherent limitations of classical physics. On the

Availability is a big issue when it comes to solar energy. As you can guess, producing solar energy during the day ins't that much of a problem, but supplying the demand in the evening or at night with solar energy is a much bigger cha

Science is still a very creative (i.e. non systematic) process. To create new "scientific findings" you need new insights. These insights typically come from publications/conferences/discussions with other researchers ra

I assume it says "forty" which is enough to avoid this kind of ambiguity. Edit: Actually no, quoting the official website [1]: > A candidate's 40th birthday must not occur before January 1st of the year of the Congress at

This is certainly not ridiculous. It is very legitimate to wonder whether systems involving more AI such as Watson are going to take over standard search techniques or not. Regarding Bing, it is as you said: Microsoft has been chasing Goo

From what I understand the score should be in the range [0, 99], but I got that on the result page: > Best score for your gender and age range: -160 > Highest score for your gender and age range: 444445389 A bug, I assume.
