For all who don't get the reference: The IT Crowd

Wait, the game is free-to-play. So one can download it from Steam for free.
Once one has downloaded it, one can vote on it.
There is no comment necessary do give a negative vote.

How exactly is the game company intending to prevent negative votes?

The more intersting question is: Will Big Brother be able to find out by cross-referencing that you got mail from abroad but have NOT been seen on the outside opening it?

I think the Bible says on the topic:

"He who not changehet his sleeping hours on weekends throwhet the first minute against DST due to circadian cycles."

or something similar ;-)

Plus, according to the article, the receiver would see the signal as "phantom phosphene flashes", meaning flashes of light which were induced into his brain by magnetic fields.
If one really wanted to transmit "thoughts" that way, the receiver would at least have to be rather quick in morse code. Actually the receiver just learned to distinguish different frequency of flashes and to rotate a tetris block depening on it.

The last time a car manufacturer tried its luck too much on the stock exchange (earning there intermittently more than from its production) it ended up being bought up by a competitor. Someone still remembers Porsche 'buying' Volkswagen?
This also included 'interesting' communication of the CEO to the market. Maybe Musks wants to step into Wiedekind's steps?

You just said something against corporations and the Jews, which per your statement shouldn't be possible. Can you please stop posting contradictions, my positronic circuits are starting to heat up.

I am definitely no Google fanboy but maybe people could decide what to accuse Google of:
* First it was, that it was all a fake and people knew they were called by the AI.
* Now it is that it was no fake and people did not know they were called by the AI.
It appears rather difficult not to fall into one of the two categories.

If one RTFAs (yes, I know, this is Slashdot, but one should consider doing it if the summary sounds too far fetched), one gets the impression that the queuing example was made up by the journalist to have something more sensational to write about. Actually the app appears to be about attendance of events.
Let me cite a few other parts of the article:

They also write that women are typically paid more than men, so we could now start another discussion about equal pay for men and women or conclude that this is mostly an app to fill up some clubs once the "free entry for women" no longer works.

> You slimy fuck.
Thank you. Nice to meet you, too.

> How is being gay equivalent to choosing to be a Nazi.
This equivalence is posed only by you. You should be ashamed! No wonder you stay anonymous.
I posed an equivalence between being denied services by private companies because they don't like what one does. Whatever that is.

Who was talking about you. Do you own the Internet?

As everyone here likes examples, lets assume that air was a controlled medium and it was impossible to transmit sound via air without approval (for a fee) to "AirSoundWave Inc.", a private company.

Do you still think that "Free Speech" does not require that company to "actively engage" (i.e. taking money and providing approval) to anyone who wants to speak "freely"?

Well, nowadays public speech basically means Internet and for most people the Internet is such a medium controlled by companies.

I have no problem with certain forms of speech to be restricted by law (we actually have that in Germany). But restrictions of speech by private peer pressure on/by companies leads to a society where the minority (or the less loud majority) has no free speech anymore.

Let me change that a bit for you:

Some choices:
1. Gay people hiding underground.
2. Gay people marrying in the open
3. Gay people trying to marry in the open but finding it exceptionally difficult because people don't want to provide them cakes, rooms, music, transport, ....

Will you still have choice number 3?

Be wary what you wish for. Public opinion pressurizing might come to bite *you* one day.

And one can "meta-train" for the test data group. Like
* Train
* Compare to test set
* Worse than guideline result => Change training parameters
* Train
* Compare to test set
* Still worse than guideline result => Change training parameters more
* Train
* Compare to test set
* Better than guideline result => Publish

I will be impressed, if it is better than a human doctor on new cases.

RTFA (and Wikipedia) reveals that the discovery of the galaxies is actually one year old.
What was discovered is that the mass of the brighest one found (1% light of milky way) is the same as the milky way (even if the nature summary talks about weight, tststs). The way they measured it is interesting:

What I would be interested in is how one is sure that one didn't simply misjudged the distance of the galaxy. If it was 10 times as far away as thought, it would also appear only 1% as bright as expected.

Exactly. Because there are no autonomous cars yet. So all of those none do this already.
No, Tesla is not an autonomous car and Google car is not in series production (nor probably ever will, Google will probably want to sell the technoogy, much less captial costs).
