As near as I can tell from the TFA somebody just put an arbitrary limit of 40 million in the code somewhere. Would be nice to have more technical details.
Bad wording. Perhaps "obvious and preventable" would have been better (and why does the counter not go to at least max int, e.g. 2^31-1 = 2,147,483,647).
"low quality" is the third definition of cheap (according to Webster's). The first 2 are basically equivalent to "less expensive". If you want to be pedantic, do it right.
Or people chatting on their cell phone and never noticing your brake lights.
I think Lumix is just cameras (a Panasonic brand).
Were you upgrading from Vista? I could see why you'd love it by comparison.
In a cross-culture study it's going to be very hard to adjust for rates of molestation versus rates of reporting or prosecution.
IQ differences also point towards implies control. The LA Times article does mention this. So IQ might have no correlation with the desire, only with the behavior (or with getting caught). It also says "Not all pedophiles molest children. Nor are all child molesters pedophiles. Studies show that about half of all molesters are not sexually attracted to their victims." For that half I don't imagine that access to porn would help the problem.
I wonder how long it will take someone to turn this into a secondary (and insecure) microphone. It's already been done with Android's gyroscope.
And California's prisons are still overcrowded, despite the reduction. As are many other states
That sounds like you are claiming that black and hispanic populations are fundamentally more criminal, regardless of all other factors.
Finland has lower crime because they have less poverty, and they have less poverty because of their policies, not some Finish magic. We could do the same thing, we just choose not to.
Also the drop in US crime could be due to any number of factors. It may have nothing at all to do with tough-on-crime policies. Lead pollution correlates well with crime rates (and yes, correlation is not causation, but it often indicates causation).
Learning to code is learning logic and critical thinking skills, which everyone needs. And it gives an understanding of computers that you can't get from a class where you just memorize terms like client, server, network, etc. And that barista may one day be sitting on a jury judging a technical case.
True, but the system of slavery in the US and Caribbean really brought slavery to an industrial scale and drove demand through the roof.
If you want to turn people into energy the most efficient thing is probably to just have them pedal bikes hooked to generators. Blood powered batteries would be great for medical implants but not much else. And the Matrix was just plain silly.
Although perhaps the child with the least supportive family who needs the most help, e.g. affirmative action. Isn't China supposed to be communist?
