I heard of HathiTrust Research Center but didn't know almost all the books were scanned by Google. Google was nice to want to share. But I think the original and ongoing concern was improved image recognition and NLP. Ie. Machine Learn

I dunno, I guess the card industry didn't stand still in the past 4 years since this news was published. I know my renewed card is newer then that and I never heard of this happening here. Not to mention needing PIN for larger purchase

In Romania we have Visa PayWave for years. For small amounts you just wave the card in from of the POS and you are done. For bigger amounts you are asked your PIN and I find that reasonable. I don't see how waving my watch in front of

When my Apple Watch battery broke I bought, with the little money I received from selling it for spare parts, a cheap CASIO G-Shock. This low-tech CASIO does all I needed from my smart watch: shows time and date and gives me a timer for coo

What does it matter which programming language they learn in high school? It's not supposed to be the language you use for work. It's supposed to teach you to program. If anything it should be mandatory to learn something else. It

Sure he does. They actually want global regulation so they don't have to worry about pesky little things like national entities regulating their stuff and perhaps fining them some billions down the road. If only there was a global gove

Not sure why Java gets so much hate. I think it's some PTSD from bad corporate jobs. It's quite good that we have a rather performant, cross-platform, GCed language. I also didn't feel any epiphany while learning Clojure. I t
