What advantage would this have over something like cassandra?

I'm surprised the authors of the study didn't check proximity to cell towers/power lines or some such thing.

Yeah really, the only other time I saw a group of people so salty about something is Google glass. There is just something about bitcoin and glass that makes people go NaCL.

I would be surprised if it's mobile communication towers is what's killing them...

I think it's pretty one dimensional to call Facebook's VR acquisitions purely motivated by having a pile of cash laying around. There are plenty of smart people who see VR finally coming around to be the disruptive technology that

Well, first of all, just to clarify, I was asking a question, not a statement. I recently ordered a HPC server for my company, we're using caffe to train/detect very large sets. I went with the K80, the company we ordered it from

I worked for a large scada company. We collected large amounts of data from thousands of large industrial installations. One day we got a new VP who came from a well known firm who was a "cloud expert". He moved (nearly) all of ou

So the argument here is that the SEC should lessen investment restrictions so that VC's can pawn off their junk stock to the unsuspecting John Q. Public as soon as they see (and hopefully for them right before) the bubble pops?

The statement is all kinds of wrong. You can transfer large quantities of data to an intelligent computer system nearly instantaneous. It seems plausible that this data could encapsulate said years of experience. What is missing is that abi

* Transcoding large video files, especially in real time. * Various Hobbyist projects. * Extreme multi-tasking (running a game, 100 firefox tabs, home server, encoding, etc) * Seti@home/folding@home -> computational philanthropy.

Unfortunately? I find it fortunate that we are looking at the point in which companies have to go for truly revolutionary changes to processor technology.

Yep. Although not related to this kit specifically, a friend of mine built a energy meter much like a kill-a-watt using a raspberry pi. It plugged into 120 vac on one side, and usb to computer on the other side. He didn't end up doing

That's how they started(and with a heavy lobbying effort from dealers), but it's lately been used to attack Tesla's business model, which does not use in independent dealers.

Yes, darn it, it's the philosopher's job to coerce people into their way of thinking, what was he thinking? In all seriousness, I think philosophy has problem, it's disconnect with reality is widening.

That may be the reason why the law was made, but that situation simply does not exist in reality. Any 'off-grid enabled' battery system that's worth anything at all would isolate the house from the grid when it kicks on, else

Well thought-out post, however, your math is singularly reliant on the 30,000$ price tag for the battery and although you did list the source, it's accuracy is in some doubt. First of all, you can pre-buy a replacement Tesla battery fo

Yes, without C++, µTorrent could never have packed so many annoying "meet random super models and have sex!" ads into the ap. It just would have been impossible with something like java.

There is a great amount of precedent here. Total war was waged in Europe, attempts by all sides were made to disable or degrade the enemies grid, to varying levels of success, but it was never completely suppressed. The same with rail, whic

Any many land base grids have nuclear reactors of much high capacity, plus hydro power, plus solar, plus fossil fuels... Anyways.

I don't really see how being at sea makes the energy requirement logistics easier...

by deeviant 12y ago
It's a pretty incredible amount of energy. Just think if you put a gallon of gas in a car than hit the petal, then lets take away (or at least mostly minimize so that the car has same aerodynamics as a artillery shell) air resistance f

I don't think the quote was saying that Uber is providing said fire hose of data, but rather that Google Maps gives Google a fire hose of traffic data which in turn Uber utilizes to create efficient routing.

As I already stated, the primary rebuke against the Turing Test was the Chinese room. It was a proper response to a horrible idea. Then what did philosophers do? Well they applied the Chinese Room argument to all of conciseness , a blunder
