Slight difference here, what the Obama administration subpoenaed was call records: what number called, and how long the call lasted, which does not include the content of the conversation . What is to be seized here was the actual messages. It was widely criticized at the time.

-- also, 18 months is a much larger window to search than two months. It's hard to see that asking for 18 months worth of records is a search for one identified leak.

Your logic doesn't close.

Indeed you're right, flat environments are easier for legged locomotion. But they are essential for wheeled locomotion.

Legs work in flat and non-flat surfaces. Wheels work poorly in non-flat surfaces. Wheels lose in most locations that aren't engineered by humans to be usable for wheeled locomotion.

To the contrary. In most locations legs are better.

We're just accustomed to environments that have been reshaped for humans: rooms with flat floors, outdoor locations with roads and walkways, wheelchair ramps so people can get up the steps.

They were implied as being able to fly earlier, but the one you're thinking of, the first time they actually were shown on screen flying, is "Remembrance of the Daleks":

As long as "SI" is to be interpreted as meaning "Simulated Intelligence," I'm good with this.

So, it turns out that it's not only Flock that's collecting the information on every car that passes by.

It has reentered. Not clear what location yet.

According to the Scientific American page, no eyewitness reports of the re-entry, indicating that it was probably in a very remote location (probably over ocean).

I don't think I've ever heard of a bank fraud committed by the technique of finding a person who looks just like the person whose ID was stolen. This would be such a hit or miss proposition (what are the chances that the person stealing the ID has a confederate that looks like the stolen ID?) that I'm hard pressed to believe it happens.

The biggest security aspect of the traditional cashier withdrawal system is that it can't be done anonymously. The person faking an identity will have to personally be at risk if it goes bad. Not to mention that they will show up on all the bank cameras.

>>OpenAI Might Rebrand Its Data Centers As 'AI Compute Campuses'

Umm, don't you mean "SI (Super Intelligence) Compute Campuses"? That rebrand didn't work so I guess they're trying again.

I think we should assume that the acronym SI means "simulated intelligence."

Because that's what it is. It's not intelligent in any way, it just simulates intelligence.

Since the pilot program was 38 employees , this advice fails implementation at the pilot stage, since the other half-million employees are making documents in Microsoft.

Exactly.

If the visible light emitted is exactly the same intensity, color, and pattern as the background behing you, yes, you'd be very nearly invisible.

Only from one direction, though (unless the background is nearly featureless).

No, you're confusing two different things. Yes, Fukashima event was due to a tsunami, and yes, in Japan there exist places where stone markers showing how far tsunamis of the past flooded, but on, the Fukashima reactor was not on one of the sites where stone markers existed saying said don't build here.

I think the original article was somewhat tongue in cheek.
