Creativity is about coming up with your vision with the tools at hand in my eyes. I would still argue in situations like this you need a sense of style to understand what works and what doesn't.

That's terribly sad news. From his brilliant performances in TNG to his hilarious performance in Extras he was such an amazing actor who brought kindness and warmth to me whenever I watched him in anything. He introduced me to the magic of Shakespeare and also to the magic of being authentic and kind no matter how successful you are. A real British legend!

The driver always has the final say on whether the train is safe to move. They are not just a button and lever pusher. They have to analyse whether the decision is correct. Hence why I stated there were multiple points of failure. The controller and the driver both went with full speed despite it being completely against regulation on a red signal.

I can't imagine what every passenger who survived and the families of those who passed are going through. Such a catastrophic incident with multiple human failures is so tragic and so needless. From the controller to the driver, every single one of them should have said hey we shouldn't just ignore a signal and should investigate why it's on first. For this to be such a quick decision suggests it's not a one off. I would be extremely interested to see how many near misses or ignored signals there has been across Spain. The crash earlier this year was due to inexperienced workers and it seems as if significant training improvements and protocols are needed.

Suggesting a country committing acts of terrorism are terrorists, seems to escape many.

I read the article, but I find that the shortages may not be a bad thing as it will just end with a lot of waste otherwise due to many companies over developing a platform that is not viable long term. We are not at the stage where the demand matches the usability of these devices. It sounds a lot like Lumentum wish to influence how all it's competitors design their products for Lumentum's benefit, rather than focus on what maybe optimal.

Right now we need a lot less hype to maintain funding, and a lot more acceptance of we don't yet know what is optimal. We can still make significant progress towards a useful photonics computing platform that makes use of the differences in comparison with classic computing. That progress doesn't need to be at scale yet. Especially when that company has backing that doesn't require sales to maintain research and development.

No standard across the board and it being rather challenging to reliably package a Photonic Circuit on Chip into the rest of the required device have always been the key issues. I think the key here though is that we don'yet know the right approach so the former is very much trial and error. We are likely at this stage going to end up with a recommended standard from the company that can shout the loudest, rather than waiting to see which is obviously optimal aka best efficiency in transferring data.

This reminds me of a very similar Disney exhibition at Miraikan in Tokyo back in 2017 that showed what went into making an animated film. It was a fascinating exhibition, that focused a lot on Moana but had a range of other films on show that they explained the process behind. The fact we have so many people dedicated to one short movie is amazing and in my eyes always worth the effort.

What does "Hybrid post-quantum encryption" mean?

Pricey. I do miss the days when the first Dell developer laptop was released.

It really depends on your goal. If you wish to use it day to day then you do need to understand it but yes you can use the handy Dirac notation to let you calculate lots without ever going too deep.

Second this book, but you need a source before this to study QP successfully. This requires a lot of UG maths and physics knowledge that I think most would not have.

The key aspects of quantum physics can be explained very simply. The issue is going in depth without those basics. I often find if someone doesn't get Quantum Physics, it's that source or you need the steps explaining more in-depth. Often sources assume your base knowledge and that is where many fall flat.

Japan has a ridiculously high crime rate for many crimes such as sexual assault.

Japan only takes cases they know they can get a prosecution on, not that they know they are guilty

He sounds great! I love these characters that you find in programming. My niche is more Mac Os System 7 -OS 9 and Be OS but the same sort of people exist in those realms too.

I never quite got into Lemmings (Worms was more my thing) but I love these pieces of software for limited hardware of the day such as Palm, Windows CE, or Newton.

Edit// Oh this guys profile is full of cool Palm OS stuff.

It depends on what level of control you have. I don't count blue and white collar as dirty or clean hands, but more task doer or task master.

If you click through to the IBJ investigation it states the backdating ran from 1999 to 2013. I don't know why the BBC only reported up to 2005.

> Deloitte Cyprus said it "acts in compliance with applicable laws".

They obviously haven't done anything wrong then.

2013 is not 20 years old so those documents should be readily available.

If this isn't sarcasm, then something is wrong. If investments can't be done legally, then no they should not invest.

I feel like many who are considered renowned in their field they believe their view and understanding of everything in the world is correct but fail to do the research to back it. Knowledge in a very specific area is exactly that. Some skills are transferable but you need to use those skills to garner the knowledge to have a valid opinion. This doesn't feel like that.

He is very talented in his area. That doesn't suggest translation. I do feel that he needs to at least fact check these view points. He has a platform that he is potentially misusing without appropriate research done into his posts.

I wonder how things have evolved in the last decade as North Korea has tried to evolve quickly at least in Pyongyang and more people inside the country have access to tech than ever before.

It would have to have a force torque sensor which interacts with the environment around it (aka the object being manipulated). Hence it being a robot arm.

However if indeed an industrial arm doesn't have that, then yes robot is the wrong term for it.

I don't quite understand the need for nitter. I don't use X/Twitter due to what it accesses, not due to the front end.

Not everything needs replacing, a significant amount would be fine just by not using. Produce does not need plastic introduced and would be a significant change. Cold drinks in coffee shops do not need plastic cups. Toys don't need to be packaged in plastic and so on.

We have some alternatives that work, and some scenarios where we still need to use it, but we can reduce the use significantly. Like Oil and Gas we absolutely do know better in many scenarios and just choose not to.

I completely agree with you. We use plastic in scenarios where it's just not needed. Bags, packaging for veg and fruit, packaging toys, some toys in general, and so on.

Roombas, self driving cars, industrial robot arms (depending on what they do), cruise control,cruise missiles, are all robots by the dictionary definition. They react to their environment. That's the classifier.

His view of I know it when I see it is nuts but he is right on many of the classifications. Some were incorrect though. But a robot is just anything that has a sensor to interact with the environment.

We have simply changed the meaning to be more human like which is not accurate.
