How far in the future are you wanting to consider? I don't think we're remotely close to even a primitive form of AI, let alone any AI that can program without human input. Personally, I'd be shocked if this happens in the ne

It can be done responsibly. But unfortunately, I agree it's mostly predatory.

These customers would be opting-in for the HTML emails. They are not tech-savy customers, they just want the full info delivered to their inbox formatted nicely. I get that some people don't want HTML emails, but that's not what&#

Whoa, a ton of resources in that post. Thanks!

Nice, I'll give the mailchimp tool a shot. I really just need to setup a handful of templates, so it being a manual tool isn't a problem at all. I found an old broken link to free mailchimp templates, didn't think to check th

Nice, didn't know that. I'm a .NET guy though and have only used SVN and TFS at work, so now I can use TFS at home as well. Probably should learn Git with my next project...

Love the new Microsoft. For small side projects/prototypes, I have tended to not use version control (I know, the horror). I just stumbled across their free private repo storage this morning, and it's going to be a huge improvemen

Has the title been updated? It currently is "Using Protobuf instead of JSON to communicate with a front end", which is not click bait at all. The author used Protobuf instead of JSON as an experiment, and concluded that there is n

I really like "Ethical Me". Many small decisions we make throughout the day are supporting causes and trends that we could be greatly opposed to. A site that showed this would be very powerful. Seems like it'd be really hard

This is a non factor in my decision making. I want to play games on the most advanced/compelling platform. If the device is ugly, it doesn't matter to me because there are many ways I can hide it or disguise it.

What photo are you referring to? I don't see an F-22 picture in the Ars link.

This is the biggest challenge in detecting life elsewhere in our universe- what will it look like? The issue becomes even murkier when you consider the existence of other dimensions. My favorite analogy- imagine we lived in a 2D world, wher

Site seems to be crippling under a load, homepage is now throwing an "Error establishing a database connection". Off topic, but another great real-world case of why static sites are smart.

Yeah, I got that part. I was pointing out that this array of "adverbs" really contains adjectives.

> Virgin Galactic keeps having multiple crashes. Uh, what? This is the only crash they have ever had. They did have an accident on a test stand in 2007 when a tank blew up, but that wasn't a crash.

NLP or adverbs? Both seemed to be applied incorrectly...

I have a really hard time with seeing grief on social media. It just comes across as shallow to me. People changing their profile picture to the deceased, posting tributes to them... it just seems fake. I don't doubt their sincerity, I

We only recently (and barely) passed the performance level of a human. There's still a lot to be gained from competitions like this.

Their actions were motivated to win the competition, not improve AI in general. There are many image sets the Baidu team could have used to test on. They used the competition's image set an unfair number of times to tweak their computa

What's with the title? No details have emerged (although the full report is due in a few months). Even BBC's title is misleading. "Virgin Galactic pilot recalls colleague's crash"- he said he couldn't see anyth

Eh, that's a stretch. You can call the tray asynchronous if you want, but you still have to wait for it to return.

Unusable? I'm sure there's a lot of noise for people that have a decent following, but I think most people don't have these problems. Certainly not to the extent that the entire platform is unusable.

I guess this is a joke, but all the comments so far seem to take this seriously. So let me say what is obvious to me- there are many legitimate reasons why you may have not heard back in a manner that seems timely to you. There are also bad

I would guess it would be very difficult for the leaker to remain anonymous to the government. I'm sure they have careful revisioning and at least some compartmentalization, so I think whoever blows the whistle has to do it with the as

What does the Yangtzee River tragedy have to do with free speech? Are you talking in China, or is something going on in the US connected with this?
