I've heard professors argue that college as a physical location is only useful for meeting people, and the learning itself was not even relevant. I don't think this is a 1950s outlook.

I don't think most browsers support redirect to javascript anymore. Maybe IE?

The root of the problem of definition here is that there is no concrete definition of "middle class". Median income is related, but not required to be middle class. Besides, in San Francisco, making less than $59k per year is co

Well, if you include Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/... But I think it's a valid point. Windows 10's main contribution is an attempt to provide auto-updating operating system to reduce version skew. I have a lot

Middle class does not mean "median income". I don't know why anyone below is suggesting that. It's a range, between lower and upper. Someone can make $200k+ per year for a family of 5 and still be "middle class&quot

No, because copyright law doesn't care what the copyright date says, or even if you write it at all. As soon as you write something, you have the copyright to what you wrote. If it was challenged in court, he would likely easily be abl

I agree. I've seen this done and it was effective. Combined with requiring the request to be made in person, during office hours, it also got struggling students to actually attend the office hours (which often was otherwise empty, and

I'm assuming "molecular robotics" is intended to cover CRISPR-like technologies.

It's like you are arguing that you don't like that "game ai" is an industry term. It's what professionals call it.

by ggggtez 8y ago
I don't think that is a helpful distinction. In fact, most games use the techniques you will find in those books. To say it's not "real" is arbitrary and irrelevant.

Hey, let's not overstep and say that dictators are "morally right" to stop free speech. Legally right, perhaps, but come now, Western democracies would laugh at saying decorators keeping peace is "moral". In fact, t

I feel like there is a giant gaping hole of information, which is that visual novel games in Japan are cyoa style stories, and are very popular. The article here has a lot of words, but nothing much to say.

You got your cause and effect backwards. The rules were only added after he did it, because he did it.

You missed the point then. Alpha beta pruning requires knowledge of the game rules. Neural network pruning doesn't. The advantage is that it's a general purpose technique.

Citation needed. Most governments that admitted to having a program, only admitted it after it had already been shut down. Very few countries if any, admit to having a bioweapon program, let alone one based on gene-edited bioweapons.

by ggggtez 8y ago
Bioweapons are 1) Cheaper 2) Harder to control 3) Less reliable than traditional arms. This makes them great weapons for poor countries who don't care about indiscriminate killing, but bad weapons for large countries that want precisio

Ok, I look forward to when his friends come forward and say they selected the actors at random from their Christmas Card list.

by ggggtez 8y ago
Yes, he paid his friends. It's not clear if his friends paid the actors, but presumably they did (or else, they just enjoy spraying glitter all over their car/bed for fun). At the end of the day, the result was that he paid money

by ggggtez 8y ago
Once you acknowledge they were actors, you have to ask: Why was this person chosen to play that role? Why have your next door neighbor do it? You know the guy is tracking the GPS. Was it because your neighbor was black and you thought it wo

Some of the questions are overt: Did the friends chose the actors who looked and sounded more like a "thief" (aka minority stereotype)? Some are less overt: Was he fooled by the actors because of his own preconceptions about what

The racial aspect of paying your black friends to pretend to be thieves is really troubling here. The whole thing stinks.

Obviously your mind is made up, but I don't think you've considered that you don't really know that someone is a VP at X company on Blind, either. They could be a janitor. People are welcome to enjoy whatever fiction they

It's a bit silly, sure, but just because they got breached in this phishing attack, doesn't mean they didn't resist other attacks successfully. Personally, yeah companies need to be held to a higher standard against hackers,

As many others, I had heard about it and never actually took a look until now. Seems like a waste of time to me. Make a throw away account on Reddit like everyone else, and you'll probably get more well thought out and measured replies

I agree, though the "stated purpose" of the site being to anonymously complain about coworkers probably doesn't help it stay as a positive environment for intelligent discussion either.

The only unique thing here is Google officially left China years ago, while other companies never did. Leaving China is a choice any company can make, and Apple could do it too. It's not like China is the only country in the world with

The FCC is legally required to pay attention to the public comments before enacting a major policy change. It's essentially identity fraud to an official government entity. To quote the dissenting opinion - "roughly half a milli

I agree the possibly criminal behavior in the NN repeal has been known for a long time, but the fact the FBI actually believe it's criminal enough to investigate is definitely new.

The news is the FBI investigation. The NYT is completely shut out of the data, but apparently it's drawn enough attention to get some actual muscle behind it finally.

Could a TLA have silenced the real results? Sure, but that seems pretty unlikely. The US Government is not afraid to call out China for real or perceived threats right now (see tariffs). So the government itself silencing this would be pret
