Just don't listen to the "music" industry productions and certainly do not try to make copies of it. It's satanic works. Do your own music, and give copies of it to your friends! It's not that hard, your parents us

Ten years ago, I ran an email antivirus on a Linux box. Not for linux users (only root), and neither for the MacOSX users on the LAN, but for the people external to the organization who were sending MS-Word documents full of malware, that

You would probably be "restricted" to roads with little traffic. Just like horses are forbidden from highways, most of the high traffic road network will probably be allowed only to driverless connected cars. Not at first, but ev

Plain bullshit. I don't see the point of posting article behind paywall, they definitely are not worth it. Without Einstein, we'd just use Poincarré and Lorentz, whom Einstein plagiarized. Remember that Einstein didn't get th

Agreed. But again, we're talking about researchers, not about brainwashed robots selected to work at the IPCC or at the WHO and countersign any paper the politicians tell them to countersign.

I was about to clone it and push a patch. But then, I realized how complex the procedure was going to be: 1- clone the repo on github 2- clone the clone locally 3- patch the file 4- commit (with a meaningful commit message) 5- push the patc

Obviously not. The pedestrian is responsible of his movements and can avoid the car. On the other hand the passenger is prevented of having any action. Therefore he should be protected at all cost by the car. Now if the driverless car is

It's obviously better than paper encyclopedia, but it still has problems, notably on editorial censure, more sensible in some countries/languages of wikipedia than others. For example, some pages about persons or political partie

I'm wondering what could motivate anybody to become a Uber driver nowadays, given that in a couple of years, they'll replace the drivers with robocars. It's a job with no future there.

About the ethics, I feel that there's actually more ethics in the programmers than in corporations in general. The only thing that holds the corporations back, is the fear of lawsuits and the corresponding economical hit they might tak
