The SSD is the ONLY internal storage option, and the extra bay previously available for expansion drives has been removed. If you want the storage professionals are accustomed to and require on these macs, you won't be able to have a standalone laptop. It will all be external drives and network storage. This is simply not viable, functional or ergonomic for graphics professionals. It is a typical Apple move to take away functionality and feature in a new device, to then slowly reintroduce it as "new" at a premium price. Give me a break, its like walking up a down escalator with them, and frankly they've crossed the line of viability.

I'm wondering if this correlates with what I recall about greedy vs generous bacterial colonies, that they tend towards a specific equilibrium regardless of initial conditions. Also similarly the snowdrift dilemma suggests least work is achieved by doing the opposite of other participants.

Telegraph is probably cheaper than SMS.. !60 cents per message! Canada to US with Telus.

Will the government then be auctioning off the proceeds? Holding them for cashing in later like a bond? Who is advising them on managing the funds? There is both a certain irony and legitimacy in a state holding this new stateless currency.

By partnering the same software at 2 different distances from the exchange, the further software could know what decisions its alternate had just made, prior to the most current trading signals reaching it. It could then pre-compute and send responses to the predicted reactions of competing algorithms to the initial trade based on past responses of those competing algorithms.
br>The nearer algorithm likewise will know to expect that responses from the further algorithm will be made prior to them being sent.

This could allow a resonance to be set up against other competing trading algorithms by provoking responses with the nearer algorithm and reacting to them instantaneously from the further location, since the distance from the exchange buys the further algorithm the compute time for the response and the opportunity to synchronize its actions with the first algorithm.

Why place it ON a scale when Crane scales can be used.. This could even have been done under water with a lift bag.

At least it will be easier to move now.

Could it be in the iCloud API? Native apps like Numbers store docs in iCloud.

great work by the artist.. I wish an interpretation of the graphic accompanied it tho.. is that art? or a graph of the theory?

"Hula-tron" is more descriptive. Since its resonant oscillation, the energy is cycled and increased on each circuit.. I'd imagine electrical induction has its place in capturing and transferring the energy from one side to the other.

Get the correct perspective: computation combined with signals analysis is a military technology plain and simple. This is a widespread use of military technology in the civilian domain and it has wide reaching effects on society similar to the contact of any other form of weaponized / military technology with civilians. There are various international agreements respecting the separation of the civilian domain from the military domain. The lack of these agreements with respect to computation and surveillance is a huge (and perhaps intentional) oversight.

How long before we farm transfusions from a donor critter or lab grown spleen vat.

and in other news Keith Richards.

There is an old design for a flint powered detector similar to a more modern piezo-electric black powder detector.

Lets not forget the BATF detector which supplies its own sample and has a 100% detection rate.

I am sure that duct taping an authorized finger to the scan pad would hack the system. The rest of the authorized individual is redundant.

This technology could cause accidents by people assuming the safety function is operational, similar to when electric carving knives were introduced they had a pressure activated on switch on the blade.

It may also lead to the assumption that a gun is safe when it can still accidentally fire for other reasons inherent in a firearms mechanism.

Above comment is simplistic to the point of being deceptive. Twitty $ Grubbers like that forget what civilization is actually about. Lowering labour costs when the required cost of living is higher is a problem and not an end goal worthy of being sought. Capital doesn't care if it is unused, but unused people crash pretty fast, and civil society shortly thereafter. Politicians delegate money for infrastructure. To quote Naheed Nenshi a Mayor of Calgary: "snow removal isn't a right wing or left wing issue." Capitalism seeks the excess benefits for profit while unfairly leveraging the mutil-millenial lineage of human knowledge that brought their enterprise to bear fruit. Its ours, fuck off.
