You misunderstand.

It was made available by Obama starting in 2015 when he removed FTC authority over them. That tap wouldn't shut off until December at the earliest if the current administration did nothing.

The EFF is oddly silent about why they've been so oddly silent about this exposure for close to 3 years now.
It is "trivial", "easy", "simple". I've become increasingly distrustful of your view point as you've simply just kept replying to a load of different replies saying otherwise that everything's so easy, when it's not.

It's all adding extra complexity.

It's absolutely laughable for you tell people that a great solution is adding an API. Boom, extra layers of complexity. Connection problems? Add progress spinners! Progress spinners are yet another complication you have to constantly think around and with deal in SPAs, not something to be celebrated. And what do they actually do? Apparently you don't split your code up? I deal with 1500 line files in a project because of what came before, not splitting it up would be an even greater disaster.

It's beginning to sound like either you work on trivial month or two projects, or you don't work with other people.

One thing I don't understand. Surely the lead atoms are much older than 2000 years - it is not like the Romans "created" the lead via nuclear fusion. The lead atoms must date back to the formation of the earth and beyond.

Therefore, the Romans merely concentrated these lead atoms into one place. But why hadn't all the unstable lead atoms decayed already long before? Why does it matter if the lead ingot is ancient or not, the actual lead matter is very ancient regardless?
Hm, yeah. If the research is focused on specific cultures I can see that being a problem in that regard.

At this stage, I'm more interested in properly packaging it (for a non-Ubuntu distribution), than compiler development itself. Not having at least tags for the release is very unusual, especially given the title of this article ;). As it is composed from multiple packages, there are too many moving parts than may or may not fit together.

It would be great, if there was a tag+source tarball for each release. I'm sure internally there must be something, your colleagues certainly must know, to which commit 'Apple Swift version 3.1 (swiftlang-802.0.48 clang-802.0.38)' maps to.

It is correctly mentioned as "Go".
To reuse a point brought up quite often in this context, making predictions about when and if AGI might arrive based on extrapolations of current technological trends is like trying to predict when the atom bomb would have been created based on a chart of conventional explosive yields leading up to 1940. Undiscovered discoveries are not predictable, certainly not by extrapolating from the current progress. This applies to Kurzweil's highly optimistic predictions as much as it does to negative ones.

Whether or not it's likely we'll see AGI any time soon is, IMO, a matter of wild-ass-guessing more than anything else. There are no experts in AGI right now, only philosophers, because the field doesn't even exist. So nobody has any remotely educated guess about what algorithmic discoveries need to happen and whether they're in reach for human understanding, or when we'd have the computational power to exploit such algorithms if discovered.

All we can really say is that it's theoretically possible, we're living proof of that. Also that there must be a lot of intelligent needles in the algorithmic haystack if evolution was able to stumble across one without a clear fitness mandate to do so (most of the creatures that thrive don't have what we consider intelligence, so it's not that evolutionarily important). I'd probably bet on it being more a matter of "when?" than "if?", but I wouldn't make any assumptions about timescale other than "not this year, probably not next".

Most of the people who have a strong machine learning or deep learning background are actually unaware of the large amount of existing research that applies to artificial general intelligence (AGI) because that group is just not mainstream.

But there are groups who are combining cutting edge neural network research with AGI and seriously trying to build general intelligence. Researchers who are working on narrow AI tasks and are familiar with this will continue to be incredulous right up to (and possibly beyond) the point where they see a system that seems intelligent to them.

This was not Ada's fault but the developer team's fault since it used a working Ariane 4 software for Ariane 5 without exhaustive testing. They made the mistake, and blamed Ada for that. The Ada software worked perfectly for which it was written for.

You couldn't say it about a file system that hasn't encountered a serious error in two years.

Even if they actually verified all the files on disk, to ensure none of them are corrupt, it wouldn't signify all much, given the short duration.

'Legitimate' is too broad. Google defines it as: 1. conforming to the law or to rules. 2. able to be defended with logic or justification; valid.

Definition 1: maybe, although even that may be borderline, since these unsubstantiated suits sound pretty vexatious (IANAL).

Definition 2: no way that this is justifiable, or that this peculiarly broken aspect of the US legal system — where you pay your own costs even if you win — can be defended with logic.
Data doesn't equal breakthrough. For example : better climate models doesn't help us to fight climate change; centuries of football scores doesn't help us to win bets :-)

I saw a professor demolish one of these devices by simply instructing his students using it to "think" without moving their eyes or eyebrows.

Or specifically for weight lifting, consider this recent case of a transgender woman winning an international weight lifting title by a significant margin: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/03/22...

I doubt that the women/girls who choose to compete in weight lifting hold back because of cultural norms. That would be a silly sport - basically it would be a competition about who cares the least about cultural norms. In any case, there should be several women who don't care about cultural norms (what about the raging feminists who reject the norms, for example).

>File processing and string processing are not the same

The UTF-8 spec doesn't make that distinction as far as I know. There's a simple fact: A valid UTF-8 byte sequence can contain nul characters. So you can't naively use C string handling functions on it. And as someone else has correctly pointed out, the same is true for ASCII.

I'm just pointing out a potential pitfall and a source of security issues. Some might assume that after validating UTF-8 text input, you could just dump it in a C string and process it using C's string functions. But that's not the case.

Lead that has just been dug out of the earth was exposed to radiation from other minerals and cosmic radiation until very recently.

So? You are personally responsible and liable for a nearly everything you do in life. Typically, you'll only "go to jail" if you do something seriously wrong, and then the limited liability of a GmbH won't save you (whether you're an owner or an employee).

The limited liability of a GmbH refers mostly to financial liabilities in case of bankruptcy, not to, e.g., criminal negligence.

Pb-210 is a lead isotope that's a byproduct of uranium decay. When mined, all lead contains some Pb-210 as a result of U238 decay[0]. The lead can be refined to remove the U238, but not to remove Pb-210. So all 'fresh' lead contains some Pb-210 with a half-life of 22 years. If you use this for shielding in your experiment, you have to deal with its natural radioactivity.

(Now, what confuses me is how the Romans removed U238 from lead, because they must have done so in order to end up with lead that could decay over 2000 years. Maybe it happened as part of the smelting process.)

Lemme know when legislation catches up with state of art technology.
Natural lead occurs along with small amounts of uranium and thorium. These radioactive atoms have radioactive lead isotopes in their decay products. So natural lead is constantly replenishing its levels of radioactive isotopes. When lead is mined, it is separated from the uranium and thorium, so no new radioactive isotopes are produced. You just have to wait for the radioactive lead present to decay. This can take 2000 years evidently.

Yep, the isotope is constantly replenished by decay of heavier atoms. When it is mined these heavier atoms are removed. You just have to wait for the radioactive isotopes to decay.
