I doubt that the engineers who choose AI chips are going to be influenced by the name. Artsy types might be, but they aren't the ones designing computers.

Prosecution will be slow and by the time they get a conviction the money may have been spent. Shaming people sounds like a good strategy for getting money back quickly.

In addition to the privacy issues, I don't see how this helps the investigation. It makes sense to track people viewing something like child porn, or perhaps videos advocating terrorism, but how does tracking the viewing of innocuous videos unrelated to the alleged crimes help? This would seem to be pointless or at best very inefficient. (If the answer is in the Forbes article, it is pay-walled.)

But why do these devices accept wireless input at all? If their job is logging, they just need to record data and have some means of off-loading it. That could be via a physical connection, but even if for some reason a wireless readout is required, there should be no need for it to accept wireless input.

There's embellishing and then there's outright lying.

This is informative. I'd mod it up if I could.

I don't know why this is modded down. This is an important fact.

Pilots do change seats during long flights and might need to adjust the seat, so disabling the switch when in flight would be a problem.

Administrative IT management has nothing to do with the Computer Science department, or for that matter, with any academic department. There is no relationship between the quality of education that students receive and the quality of IT management.

The post and some commenters refer to moving targets as a problem. Archimedes was concerned with the defense of Syracuse. In that situation, the attacking ships would mostly be stationary, and if approaching, would generally not be maneuvering but heading toward the defenders, meaning that there would be only one degree of freedom in their position and that, since their speed would likely be fairly constant, it would be possible to lead them. Aiming the heat ray would therefore not be a big issue in the situation for which Archimedes is said to have invented it.

The article provides no evidence that Boeing is at fault. It says nothing about a design or production defect being responsible. This could also be due to a maintenance problem, something wrong with the runway (say an oil slick), a burst of wind, or pilot error.

Why isn't that also a factor when you license proprietary code? You can't be sure it doesn't contain code copied from somewhere else without permission.

That's too bad. It would have been nicer if it were able to turn down the volume on the speakers.

The problem is that the houthis do not stay in military installations separate from the rest of the population. You can't kill lots of houthis at one fell swoop without also killing a lot of non-combatants. To destroy the houthis would require the use of ground troops, which means taking good-guy casualties and risking collateral damage to the civilians among whom the houthis are embedded. The problem is similar to what Israel has faced in Gaza, though easier since the houthis apparently don't have extensive networks of fortified tunnels like Hamas does.

Hmm. So maybe the dark matter is in invisible pdf objects.
