When you wrote the fossils were you referring to the fuel type or the car drivers ?

The sound of cards, clothes pins & wheel spokes will come for free - as standard. If you want it to sound like a V8 you will have to pay an upgrade fee -- prolly annually.

Correct: applications first. Also accept that you might not get 100%, there may well be a few that only run is MS Windows and you will not be able to find an equivalent that runs on Linux. That is fine, do not let perfect be the enemy of good. Once ISVs that only support MS Windows see a large number of potential clients that run Linux they will put the effort in to support Linux as well.

Migrating file formats to openly documented ones is another important initial goal.

My thoughts exactly: I have nothing to do with Microsoft, its products or services. How does it know that I do not want my face to be recognised ? The only way that it can get it right is opt-in of registered users only -- that will never happen just as AI companies will not respect copyright.

and backup sensitive information like this into someone else's cloud. Yes it might be easier but you are just inviting trouble.

Just asking for a friend.

A company cannot always expect to poach someone fully trained from another company - especially when the skill is a new one. Training is an investment that will pay off -- depending on how much of a bubble AI turns out to be.

Expecting someone to work 7 days/week is stupid - a good way of causing burn out. The staff may physically be there 7 days/week but where will their minds be ?

Speaking as a Brit I find it astounding that there seem to be so few controls on gun use in the USA. Yes: I know what the second amendment is but surely it is time that this was retired. An Internet outage is hardly important but 4.43 deaths per 100k is huge, you are not the worse but up there.

You were an inspiration to us all. Unfortunately many do not want to listen and will destroy earth's ecosystem as they drill, baby drill.

* What programming language ?

* Will they open source it ?

* Is the source code maintainable ?

If this really works and the result is open source there could be many interesting uses. I would love to see Larry's reaction to the request: Write a clone of the Oracle database.

Did neon insist that you got consent of the person that you were speaking to before the conversation was uploaded to neon ? I suspect not, so a huge privacy breach. I think illegal in Europe under the GDPR, I do not know about the USA which seems to be a wild west as far as data protection is concerned.

Money buys you the justice that you want.

They want to use footage from Steamboat Willie and do not want to be sued for breach of copyright. Although this fell out of copyright last year and entered public domain the Mouse is sufficiently litigious that they have a fear that they might be sued -- a reasonable fear IMHO. Thus the request for clarification which Disney would not give. Thus going to court is their only option.

That Disney refused to answer suggests to me that they know that they would lose any attempt to sue for breach of copyright but they are going to make it as hard & expensive as possible for anyone to use Steamboat Willie -- typical large corporation behaviour (that of a bully).

It is called a letter before action. The courts like it if you have tried to come to an agreement before going to court and, potentially, wasting their time on something that did not need to be litigated.

but give the guy a break. This is hardly the first new product demo to have failed. Maybe they should have had the foresight to run it over a private network and not the center's WiFi, but knowing what will happen in the real world is very hard to get right.
