I imagine we'll see self-driving car horror movies soon.

We've had them in the past (Christine, Trucks, Herbie the Love Bug), but the only thing Hollywood loves more than latching on to a trend (Emoji Movie) is blowing something out of proportion.
It seems to me that Microsoft doesn't consider desktop Windows to be strategic any longer (in that quite frankly it fucking sucks in so many ways that could be fixed with not that much effort, and I say this as a "fanboy"), which I think is a massive miscalculation but I see no sign that they're going to change and it will continue to wither on the vine.

Here are some ways it could make sense (but would have to be careful to not upset game balance): a.) more unique items (D1 has a small set of unique items) b.) new suffix/prefix to add to item modifier lists c.) in addition/response to the new suffix/prefix could add new resistance/attack types only available with expansion pack d.) could make multiplay require same expansion packs on each system to encourage upgrading
Has anyone seen a report or link to details of the findings that led to the delay decision?

There are like 5000 people working on this thing and I would think they have to issue a report to explain a significant delay.

OpenJDK didn't exist when Google developed Android, so it would have been very hard for them to use it.
>reads too much into Google's tablet strategy

It does, but sure puts Google in a good position if it needs to. Even right now even if Google doesnt make tablets, it would rather have other companies which are cooperative (get the Android CTS) get the edge. I assume you've heard of the passive aggressive fight between then.

>Google Play dev account is free

I was talking about the 30% store cut that Google gets for paid apps. Also you need to pay $25 to have a developer account, so that's not free either
It'd be better for everyone if they had unbiased experts lacking corporate ties draw up the regulations.
The CAFC is the appeals court for patents, which are not the same as copyrights. The local circuits handle copyright cases, except when there are also patent-related claims in the case.

So if you are a plaintiff in a copyright lawsuit and you want your appeals to get the pro-IP biased treatment from the CAFC instead of going to the local circuit, make sure to find a way to include a patent claim in your suit.
Seems like this would have a use well beyond gaming, particularly in the realms of real-time monitoring.
They can and did still add new weapon types to randomize (+more attributes for that) and add more unique weapons/item types in general with the Hellfire expansion.
The problem for ORACLE is that if they win, they will have a Pyrrhic victory. The old adage of "Be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it" applies here.

Comcast's Cord Cutting Losses to More Than Double in 2018
So still almost twice as much (+$189) as a Chromebook? And with more accessories to manage/lose. There's a reason why the Chromebook is doing so well in this space, low price, single clamshell units, not tied to a single user, easy to manage, sane defaults for education, and does 90% of what a classroom needs.

Are there compelling iPad apps? Sure. Can the iPad w/pen offer things a Chromebook cannot? Absolutely. But the price remains too high, and Apple has yet to prove they can offer a seamless iPad cart experience with limited setup. The current iPad setup experience is a headache.

Why is the kernel even playing such a stupid game to "manage" temperature? I would have though Intel temperature management was idiotproof in the "You literally don't even have to touch it" way.
I ran one of those greasemonkey scripts to (try to) delete my Facebook profile posts in mid–2016. Some months later I decided to just delete my account entirely. Many of the posts I thought I'd deleted were still in the account archive I downloaded before deleting my account (this was > 30 days after I'd thought I'd deleted them, but less than a year, so it may just be a data retention issue).
I don't think they have ever said anything about it. Currently this topic doesn't exist in Poland's political debate.

Mobileye isn't a "self-driving" system, it's a collision prevention/mitigation system, like airbags or ABS. Leaving it on while a human controls the car hasn't been seen as a disaster.
I own two iPad Pros, both with pencil support and have two Apple Pencils. I still don't regard it to be "game changing" for education, at least not in its current form.

> It fundamentally transforms the user interface in a way that better reflects the needs of education environments.

Until we see software that reflects this, this hasn't happened. Hardware support is only half the story here. The iPad user experience is still fundamentally largely the same regardless of using the pencil or not.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have and I can see why kids will love drawing with it. I just don't subscribe to the idea it's somehow a game changer yet.
The first example has 4GB ram and 128GB SSD.

Is that worthy of a "best" title in the $1000(ish) category?
Of course. The people that would elect them are decidedly and unabashedly anti-technorati. It is a good thing we have the bureaucrat firewall in place, frustrating though it is.

Strip club song??
As someone who's used many styluses over the years - they're all way too heavy, and the feel of pen or pencil on paper, is still far superior to any stylus to screen that I've experienced.

My younger brother wanted an iPad to do school notes on in University - that lasted about one week, and it wasn't the software, it's just clunky compared to pen and paper still.

When they get the weight down (of both the iPad and the pencil), the screen has texture, and the responsiveness improves by 2-5x, then it'll be a game changer.

For now, it's a useful tool in very narrow scenarios (artists mostly)

> Since all the design and tool-up costs are sunk, why not build two or three? Even just as components.

a huge chunk of the cost of "building" a spacecraft is all of the testing, calibration, integration, validation, etc etc that goes on after the physical objects are assembled.

yeah, the machinists can crank out a second housing or structural element for nothing after they've made the first one. the electronics assembly techs make a handful of most every board, to start with.

but only one set of all of them is handed back to all the principal investigators to go through the months/years of prep work necessary to ensure the physical assembly that's been produced will function correctly, for years, on orbit.
What I'd like to know of the voters who passed this renovated legislation is this. Was it a moral issue or unlawful issue that drove them, that is beyond the women's defamation groups, Christian Coalitions and pressure from the moral majority. Sex workers are most likely well connected though some may us CL or others to attract more buyers, most women interested in making money the old fashioned way really didn't need CL. This again is another knee jerk reaction to a festering problem and that is the people's appetite for sex. We have government stifling cigarettes sales, we had them stifle alcohol sales, they stifled tax free Internet purchases and now snoop your bank deposits in the name of preventing terrorists from laundering money. What a crock of shit.
Now they have stifled an area of individual free speech and volition. Yes CL could have done a better job of monitoring personal ads, but so could states do a better job of monitoring used car sales. They simply ad "buyer beware" and that suffices. How can the government in clear conscience threaten to hold the Internet company responsible for what a person's intentions are without any real knowledge of it? That being the case then all sales sections will have to go under scrutiny as will rentals at least shared rentals. There's a ton of BS artists posting there with less than good intentions.
Lastly, the entire thing would be more credible if the consenting parties had made public first the size of the problem in America. How many sex slave rings actually operate in the U.S. Second, how much incontrovertible proof is there they are using CL personals to accomplish their goals. This is the same type of legislation used to enforce driving over the limit rules. It was crafted under pressure from MADD and like organizations that don't care to drink and figured hey a few drunks are dangerous so we'll hang them all. Well intentioned legislation that is designed to impale a small section of society while it actually disrupts the masses is the proverbial pimple on the elephants ass. I guess next it's the massage parlors because there are tons of them and reading those inviting headlines one can only imagine something far greater than a relaxing massage.
I love this idea. Maybe someone could set up a service where you enter your fb password or upload your fb cookie. Then it would just destroy your profile with data.

How would it handle historical data? I don't think you can backdate messages and photos.

My goto for initial troubleshooting a server is:

uptime # uptime and CPU stress

w # or better yet:last |head # who is/has been in

netstat -tlpn # find server role

df -h # out of disk space?

grep kill /var/log/messages # out of memory?

ps auxf # what's running

htop # stressed? , look out for D (waiting on I/O typically) processes

history # what has changed recently

tail /var/log/application.log # anything interesting logged?
This is not quite true. These telescopes were built by the military to look at things a few hundred miles away, not millions of miles away, so the optical dimensions are different. They are still useful, but they are not clones of Hubble.

Furthermore, they lack the expensive part: the one-of-a-kind scientific instruments. These will still have to be developed from scratch.

NASA is developing one of them into a telescope called WFIRST, and by some estimates, little to no money will be saved by using the donated military telescopes.

No? It runs on the JVM and Kotlin/JVM links the Java standard library as part of its class path and compiler emits JVM bytecode, but that's not the issue here. I feel like people do not understand what this lawsuit is about. There's also a lot of technical people here reading the decision and making tech-minded assumptions about the business strategy. A far simpler solution than reconstructing the entire ecosystem would be to just switch off Dalvik VM and use the JVM.

The problem has nothing to do with using the Java API. It has everything to do with copying the OracleJDK API and implementation then building a secondary non-compliant JVM to run it. The OracleJDK (which is different from the OpenJDK) is not licensed in a way that allows copying.

I recommend folks read https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/8213/is-it-legal-to-... for a little background.

In short Google fucked up big time.
Reimplementation does not necessarily violate copyright. Copying does violate copyright (absent fair use). Like verbatim copying. Example, Google didn't have to use the “java.lang.Math.max(a,b)” header, but they did. They did copy because they wanted to leverage the existing Java developer base who would easily be able to develop for Android, without having to do the hard work of building their own ecosystem. Overall, Google copied the header structure for more than six-thousand methods.
I'm struggling with the question: Who's fault is this?

The pedestrian for walking across the street, wearing dark colors, being oblivious to traffic?

The human in the drivers seat for not paying attention?

Uber kind of gets the laundry list: For reducing the number of "safety drivers" from 2 to 1, for not using eye tracking to ensure the safety driver was paying attention, for faulty software or hardware that didn't detect the pedestrian, or for software that after getting the sensor input made a decision to not adjust speed or change lanes, for having some of the worst "intervention" numbers in the industry yet plowing ahead with removing a safety driver from the car...

Who gets the blame?

I'm mostly a "get rid of idiotic safety tags and let natural selection sort it out" sort of person, but on the other hand I feel that piloting a multi-ton killing machine needs to be treated as a huge responsibility.
It’s funny how they only want to repeatedly confirm your decision when you give the answer they don’t want.

Every time my Facebook messenger app updates it asks me to confirm my phone number (which it already has through some other method). It employs multiple dark patterns to trick me into confirming, and because of this I’ve very nearly done so by accident.

This stuff might be profitable in the short term but many of us see through it — especially the younger generations — and it’s eroding any trust you may still have with people.

Companies need to cut this shit out ASAP if they want to be trusted in the future.
Damn, I’m already imagining them like the climate change movies where a 800-foot tsunami hits Manhattan. 200 million self driving cars have become hostile and are trying to kill the humans. The problem is that they have commandeered a group of friendly-looking Japanese humanoid robots to pump gas for them. One rogue humanoid robot is the one who will save humanity along with help from a 6-year-old girl with pigtails and a stuffed rabbit named Hopsy.

It'd look like automated spam, and they'd block/flag it on the spot.
Maybe? But with the influx of new activity, it would be reasonably easy to see the line of real activity vs fake activity is on a timeline.
So, for those like me who don't quite understand all the legalese: I've been operating under the belief that APIs and protocol "structures" were ruled as "non-copyright-able" before, while "implementations" absolutely were copyright-able. Was I wrong then, or am I wrong now?
They were crossing a low speed, brightly lit street.
It also seems to me that this experienced company is trying to setup road blocks to stifle competition and using this fatality as cannon fodder to support his arguments.

How about we let whoever wants to research autonomous vehicles have at it, and we just throw the "Supervising driver" who failed in jail like he should be?

I mean the guy had one fucking job: hit the brake pedal if you're going to crash into something. He failed. The car is an experiment. The driver is the only safety mechanism in that car that matters, and as usual with humans it screwed up.
Java was already king of the enterprise server long before Android happened.

Around 2006, many companies were moving their server stacks from C++, considered old and stagnated, into Java application servers.

I took part in several such projects.

What you suggest is the only thing that will succeed in preserving privacy. You cannot hide your data as they can still track you even if you do not have an account. We have to lie plausibly to contaminate the data. The important thing is that the data should be carefully generated not to be flagged as synthetic.

If API are copyrightable how do clean room implementations work? It seems IBM could sue the clone makers for the BIOS API if that's the case.
The libertarian attitude only works if you assume everyone is equal. Children are not. And because access to knowledge and wisdom (which includes when and how to seek out knowledge, usually passed on by educated parents.) huge portions of people can be left in a semi-childlike state. Tendency to violence, under-appreciation for exponentials, etc...

The role of parental systems is to mitigate the issues of orphans who become disenfranchised. Entire races can be orphaned from traditional values of they were severed from their cultural root. (slaves) the elderly also often become orphaned and so are a big target for scams.

Excessive and imposed "family" is just a cult but that doesn't mean family values don't at a role in functioning society. There is a limit to individual ability.
Technical solutions > legal solutions. iOS doesn't have (as many) problems like this (speaking as an Android user)
I would guess the goal is a self-sustaining civilization on Mars, a la Musk. People there will want to build as many things locally as they can. Ground transportation, energy sources, habitats, rockets, etc. Most of the parameters of Mars can be simulated on Earth but there is a big one that can't be simulated: 1/3 gravity. Iterating development on Mars for Mars will have large advantages over building things on Earth for Mars, long shipment to Mars, testing on Mars, build next version on Earth, ship to Mars, etc. Plus simulated Mars environments will not be perfect. With this tech they are hoping to drop the need for supporting industry for making stuff substantially.
If you mean like chi or chakra type energy flow, chakras are generally centered on hormone producing organs. A flush of hormones seems the most likely source or explanation for known sensations like kundalini.

knowing what fb is doing with your data, why would you still want SSO?
Interesting (well, interesting to me) note on the nfs case, on modern linux, `umount -l` should be able to unmount pretty much anything. You'll often still be left with a pile of processes stuck in uninterruptible sleep depending on the scope of the 'random share', but at the very least it can staunch the bleeding and let you move around.

TBH I get rather claustrophobic when I can't `w` with aplomb.
I'd really enjoy seeing a modern ARPG that is legitimately unsettling and dark in the way that Diablo was (and D2, to a slightly lesser extent). We've got D3, which has really fun gameplay but feels commercialized and looks like WoW, and we've got PoE, which has a lot of really brilliant ideas and has a darker theme but at no point is ever actually unsettling.
Sun wasn't happy at all, see Gosling interviews.

I thought one of the main issues was that there was only one natural implementation of many API functions. Like when you assign students a coding question, you will see many answers come back identical even though no one cheated.
I think so too. There is so much adware and spyware in the Play Store, it's better for everyone to try alternatives from FDroid and other App Stores.

Also it's a nice strategy so people forget that you cannot update most Android phones anyways. And IMHO their Google Apps Suite is actually far creepier than Facebook because it's literally with you all the time.

If you visit a profile, view a video, open a group or message it's all recorded. I'm betting that they can even tell the probability you read an ad just by seeing if you stop scrolling on it and then start scrolling again.
Good point. As a consumer, I'd be willing to pay higher prices so I could see how once you get "hooked" this strategy works. I also would love to see the self-driving dream come to fruition which would presumably lower costs.

You're correct that both those strategies differ from Amazon though.
