So if I'm understanding the promotional video correctly, Alexa is listening to you while you have sex. The best part must be how they represent the capabilities( cloud, always online, third party... ), through an incompetent parent, wh

There is a distinction. A gravitational field has a center, so if you are in free-falling towards it you can determine that you are in it. Take two objects and place them apart to float stationary( the line they make should be orthogonal to

In C, using: struct tm tm_struct = { 0 } ; , the rest of the struct including padding is initialized to zero bits.

I know it isn't comparable, but honestly, the next big thing in fuel efficiency is an electric engine. Why improve the combustion engine if you can skip the middle man, so to speak.

You are right. I usually wouldn't check the code if it is from a credible source anyway. That was just the first reaction I got, wow this can run anything.

Just some thoughts: #run can run anything, if you don't trust the codebase you have to check everything for malicious calls. ( #run format c: as a joke :-/ when you compile ) check functions seem to have limited use. They can'

No. I don't see how. Be more specific if that wasn't a question. Now, my idea works if you assume that the collapse is instantaneous, it doesn't travel at all. Therefore the logic that the equations show that the information

I think you could get away with it without violating anything, if both parties are stationary to each other in time and space just in different locations in space. For example, a ship travels to a nearby star, at near c. It gets there almos

Subset? No. Neither language is a subset of the other. "C/C++" is a word coined by recruiters/human resources department.

I would have to say it is very elegant and simple. Besides the missing adds I had no problems with anything else.

Spacex had an engine explosion during a flight, yet their primary mission was successful. This is the benefit of modern rocket technology.

Thank you; I pretty sure they care about my country though, especially since adds were displayed on a friends computer on the same network. I'm sure that careful readers( not that many apparently :-) ) will spot the cause.

Video started immediately, I didn't touch anything. The video ended uninterrupted at 4:30. An small annotation link to a different song appeared for a couple of seconds, at the bottom left. Those annotations can be disabled in the ui.

No, only NoScript but you have to enable a couple of scripts to watch it. I do have a very extensive list of blocked names in my hosts file.

Youtube doesn't have adds. Or at least I haven't seen one and I have watched it for years almost every day. I'm completely serious, I haven't seen an add on youtube ever ! You don't have to believe me. :-) I enjoy

Did you compare its speed to built in atan2 function? I counted the cycles for you method and it comes to around 50 plus a conditional. Built in function should be around the same.

That makes more sense. The nano-bots indicate that at the start and I missed it. Still the dialogue is just so cliche, including a forced mini twist ending. And: Wwaathhheeer

All you need is a couple of meters of water or earth. The base would be inside the comet at complete safety anyway, and detection can warn you to get inside in case of increased sun activity. It is really easy if you have just a little mate

Sarcasm? Nobody is going to walk on it naked. The conditions on the comet are amazing compared to the ISS, which is currently supporting life. The comet has everything you need, water, organic material, shielding from radiation, decent size

Good visuals, but the script is nonsense. They are really trying to invoke that warm feeling inside. Unfortunately watching Littlefinger posing as a deity, forced me to laugh. Using an unknown actor would sell it better. ( I'm not tryi

Very interesting. Once they start stacking those in layers( 3d ) there might be some progress. At the end we might not ever require programmers anymore and we will have something awesome that we don't understand, just like our brain. :

Just comparing the magnitudes of scale at which our brain operate compared to transistors tell you that AI doesn't stand a chance of coming anywhere close. The difference is that we are processing directly on the physical laws, while c
