It doesn't take very advanced AI algorithms to satisfy the claim that the toy has adaptive understanding and learning. These are semi-marketing terms and could be covered pretty easily for laypeople and children. You have a set of pr

I agree with you, but all you've really said is that we will rely on general AI to accomplish our goals. The stupider the AI, the more you have to define yourself. You'll have to define the terms used in the description of your

Encapsulation also helps enforce interfaces. Anything outside of an object should only interact with it via an external interface. This allows you to reason about the interaction of objects independently of the implementation of those obj

I'm curious about the legal status of this land that was acquired prior to Hawaii even being a state. Are the native inhabitants considered US citizens? Does the Sinclair family have to pay property taxes on this land? I would think

It's not even a simple question of the average speeds of internet connections in America. It's a question of whether there is ever a legitimate reason for the XB1 to be disconnected from the internet. I have an okay connection s

I don't find it surprising, especially for someone that is already a musical prodigy. I remember dreaming of beautiful melodies as a kid, but lacking musical talent, I was unable to play them on a musical instrument. Thus, the melodi

The question is, what was your situation before you took this job? Did you resign from a previous job in order to take your new one, or were you unemployed before this job? If the latter, how long were you unemployed? Since you haven't b

Here's a thought: if we're serious about patent trolling, I mean really serious about it then why not march? I'm talking about demonstrating in front of cityhall with signs and speakers on megaphones. I'm talking about a rally against p

Epic comment fail. I read original post but forgot that they specified numbers by the time I posted my comment. As uncertainty set in, I reread the original post and had a Homer Simpson moment. I upvoted you to teach myself a lesson.

I'm not saying that you don't use word order. I think you must to some extent if you are doing a comprehensive semantic analysis of the keywords and websites. I'm saying that your users may not use correct word order because they are la

But more importantly Google doesn't know what kind of content something is. Or what questions the content answers. I'm not sure I agree with this. Google may not know it explicitly but it can effectively know it, perhaps in some cases ev

I'm not a lawyer but this patent troll litigation would seem to be a textbook case for estoppel by acquiescence. [1] These patent trolls are deliberately waiting until the patents are firmly established norms in the industry so that findin

I'm not sure of any of my answers, but I guessed the computer generated proofs are: 1c, 2a, 3b, 4c, and 5c. These proofs seem to be the most uniform in language, especially the way they all end with "we are done". I was the least certain
