No it isn't. There's no API and the IOS app is iPhone native, runs in emulation on the iPad. No mapping capability and scarce development and support of third-party solutions due to the limited market.
Kijiji is loaded with intrusive ads and spammed by retail stores with no way to filter. The interface is awful, with tiny thumbnails and no compensation for vision problems.
Classic Beta/VHS story. Kijiji has market share in Canada as its only advantage. My fellow Canadians are ignorant idiots for using an inferior product.
Yes, of course, but why isn't the first chord in the progression labeled in the diagram? All the others are. There's just a big wall labeled "Start".
Things like this make me feel like I am disconnected from the rest of the world. How can anyone look at that diagram for one second and not see this glaring and confusing omission?
"Linux has proven to be Frankenstein OS assembled from a disparate array of barely functioning parts with horrible reliability and little potential for future improvement."
The reason for this is that contributors to Linux are driven by ego and self-aggrandizement more than technical ability, and there is no benevolent dictator to say, "take your shitty code and shove it up your ass".
It is my fantasy to start an open-source company so I can spend all day yelling at developers. It would be a short term joy, since I would probably die of a brain hemorrhage in the first 24 hours, but somebody needs to do it.
No, you are not thinking about it the wrong way. Neither Hawking nor Musk is an expert in AI; their only contribution to the discussion is their fame.
Curbing research into AI at this stage is like banning rock smashing research in the Palaeolithic Era because it could lead to uncontrolled fission.
The "leading experts" in AI are not so leading and not so expert. It is simply our ego, self-focus, and arrogance that allows the notion that AI research could be anywhere near posing a danger. We're not all that, and it is self-flattery to have this discussion in 2015 at more than the level of mild curiosity.
Excellent article. Not meant to be rigorous; only to give the broad stokes of a perspective that many have failed to grasp.
Ever since I worked with embryos undergoing apoptosis under the influence of thalidomide in the late 1960s-early 1970s, it has been clear to me that aging is a programmed mechanism created by natural selection.
The cumulative-error hypothesis should have been discarded long ago.
Yes, that was one of the arguments against the starvation-increased-lifespan evidence... in the 1970s. I relied upon it myself. Then, better evidence emerged to contradict that notion, such as the demonstrable effect of starvation on the mTOR pathway.
To the sycophants who ejaculated their "Isn't science amazing?" jizz all over this and every other website (without troubling themselves to read the paper) when the news was first pumped out by the ignorant and self-serving media: suck it.
The story of Everett's life among the Pirahã people in the Amazon. Everything you thought you knew about humans is wrong.
