Wasn't it 800 at the start of the month?

So first gox is criticised for blaming an old bug and now they are criticised for irresponsible disclosure. Funny old world.

I think Douglas Hofstadter has kept his idea of what AI is more constant than most folks.

In an ideal world the additional citations that public source code created would counter some of these problems I guess.

Good article. Bad title for wider audiences though. I expected a faux philosophy essay from a narrow minded empiricist. Instead I got an interesting article about software publication within linguistics.

The article isn't really about that. (I made a similarly pithy comment but have deleted it having read the article.)

Does anyone know how they are being funded? It is all well and good claiming they want more journalistic integrity than their old haunts, but I would like a word or two on how they can maintain impartiality and feed their families. Not tryi

This site needs a solution to bad commenters that doesn't result in discordant comments like this.

I don't think either are going to last particularly long with both microsoft and google aggressively trying to take their business.

Kind of solves a problem that doesn't exist though doesn't it? It isn't like these universities are crying about bandwidth costs and it isn't like demand is maxing out their upstream.

The saving is in power consumption for cold storage.

This quip really annoys me. It only seems true because of a confusion or blurring of two very distinct concepts. There is tested treatment, which has been tested and come out effective. This can be put in dichotomy with untested or failed t

That is correct. You don't pay VAT on lots of take away food.

Really weird. I wonder if they have seen it.

You seem to have completely missed the point of the scale described by strlen which is that people have different definitions of fairness and continued to argue that yours is the only one.

I think it is an important piece of information that it was the elitism that hurt its chances. Your wording misses that out.
324.
by glomph 13y ago
So was the elitism just clever marketing?

Weird that they have round(pi) as an example.

How do the stats look when you include health care and other social security?

Funny you should mention transmission. Something like 80% of cars in the UK are manual transmission.
