No it is a very strong argument if you make everything legal then they are not committing any criminal acts and could claim to be perfectly on the level and since you legalized everything from genocide to jaywalking. Making things illegal defines what is criminal and what is not. Saying a criminal will break the law is a circular argument because if there are no laws to break they cannot be a criminal. Having said laws are what defines a criminal. Having anything being legal allows them to say impersonate people and steal personal information with no repercussions. Without any laws no warrants or investigation can be done as monitoring "law" abiding citizens that are doing nothing illegal is a bad idea. But if someone is breaking multiple laws then they can be monitored and could stop larger crimes before they happen. As in the example of criminals paying people to use their info falsely and not report it they can be monitored and a paper trail created by a strange edge case of a person having way more accounts than possible.

FBI does not want a universal open back door, if you have to be insanely smart, require apple, require a chip foundry/test lab, ... sure a select few governments and corporations can access it but not anyone. Criminals would just kidnap and beat your password out of you. You certainly can make a backdoor only government+corperation backed groups could access by making a physically complex path that would make simpler means more preferable. https://xkcd.com/538/ Total privacy and its polar opposite total transparency are not a good idea. Good enough security is a practical solution and I don't really understand why it is a population vs government issue since the public as a whole can just push for the issue to be a major sticking point and elect based on it or if the government ignores a mandate they could just up and riot across the entire country. If this does not occur then one could conclude that it is the majority decision to care about having perfect secrecy for everyone even if they are terrorists or criminals.

A router must support bridge mode is all that is needed checking their manual will tell you if they support this feature. Typically you want the routers to be of the same performance as each other (a pair) or at least similar specifications. One router acts as the main router/AP while the remote end of the bridge when set to bridge mode will instead be a WiFi client and allow wired devices to run on its wifi connection to the main router. Asus example, https://www.asus.com/support/faq/114552 Linksys, http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=143751 Netgear, http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24105/~/what-is-bridge-mode-and-how-do-i-set-it-up-on-my-nighthawk-router%3F For different routers there will be different instructions. Generally you cannot connect both routers to the same network initially as they would have the same IP address and have things like the DHCP server running and this will cause problems. So never connect two consumer routers onto the same LAN segment without first configuring one as a bridge mode device (wifi client) the other mode would be AP mode which is still the same as the default just disables all the router functions if you say had a pfsense computer running your firewall/routing/DHCP. So all you have to do is setup your main router as you would always do or if it is already setup then leave that be. Then connect by wire or wireless to the router you want to configure as a bridge and tell it to switch to bridge mode this should disable the NAT, DHCP, ... many services and turn it into a WiFi to Ethernet bridge device. You may need to use a discovery tool or scan for its ip address after you switch to bridge mode. Some may also support repeating on another SSID or even the same one but this can increase interference so you should not allow the bridge remote end router to rebroadcast or take wifi clients of its own if your concerned about maximum speed. Note that consumer routers can be buggy and flaky especially in comparison to simple gigabit Ethernet connection which is the ideal so odd things may happen. Even built in Wifi adapters have problems with bugs especially compared to ultra simple wired Ethernet adapters.

He said USB and networking (not sure if it meant both wired/wireless). This is very odd. Worse comes to worse if Ethernet doesn't work remove the drive from the laptop and load the driver files onto it via another computer. Try disconnecting all USB devices and try system restore as well.

What your asking for is called tiered storage. Not sure if windows has the by default other than in storage spaces but there may be some software that can do this. http://www.pcworld.com/article/248828/how_to_setup_intel_smart_response_ssd_caching_technology.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/smart-response-technology-brief.html Personally I like managing my storage myself as most caching hybrid models take some time to learn the pattern and can be tricked by odd use cases. With user managed SSD/HDD mix you can decide which files are on the SSD and which are on the HDD.

Most small switches are not managed or PoE nor would a consumer typically be using these. But yes larger or highly specialized switches even at 10/100 could be valuable.

Maybe it is defective and causing a broadcast storm or some other switching induced fault. Gigabit switches are cheap so it a 10/100 one is basically disposable. A broadcast storm is when the switch routes a broadcast packet in a loop and it will just amplify on most switches and cause the switch to saturate and would kill speeds or even lock up the switch. Normally this would only happen if you plugged an Ethernet cable back into the switch with no device in between. A hardware problem could be causing errors in the physical layer degrading speeds.

Ah the trolling it knows no end. https://www.change.org/p/microsoft-freedom-for-tay/c

It is in early development there are already demos at techshows with it working inside rooms. For portable use you could just have a miniaturized transmitter powered by a battery bank. It will likely work within a few feet at least so that is good enough for a portable system. Stationary ones can beam power to a singular room. Inductive charging is not good at distance but resonant transfer is capable of longer distance transmission. These have the potential to eliminate the need for a large battery in your phone and could create bubble of wireless charging powered by the wall or a larger battery. Most people already carry around battery banks but if you could eliminate the short cable between the two then that would be a killer application of the wireless power tech that is being developed. Seems to work and is probably pretty close to commercial use in a few years. Not sure if they have it in a small enough yet. The company seems pretty like a legit startup. http://www.energous.com/transmitters/

Or worse feed it back into itself while it is talking to trolls combining all subjects. Oh and to tops things off design a DNN chatbot with an encompassing library of troll content and feed that in too. Also fuzz it with an exhaustive list of sensitive/random subjects to probe for any hard coded filters and weaknesses. If you really wanted to ruin the day for Microsoft make it spit out illegal numbers (HDCP master key, PS3 key, AACS key, ...) in some image or described statement in creative ways that they can't easily detect.

Not all 16000 people are likely to be criminals either maybe just people that are paranoid. Criminals would likely use the second option I listed but this still leaves a paper trail and grounds for investigation/arrests/... Well certainly don't make them all legal that wouldn't help at all. If murder, terrorism, genocide, jaywalking ... was all legal I'm not quite sure how this would help.

Because watson isn't really that useful even when it is open for anyone to use. Watson cannot give input on topics no one has ever talked about as that is not what it does. It literally is someone/company inputting every possible subject and it just forms the natural language responses when it probabilistically determines that is what your asking about. Similar for the google deepmind Go playing AI you remove all the accumulated raw gameplay training data and it just wouldn't work. In the future it might very well be able to is a total misnomer as DNNs offer no route to replicating things like forming original opinion. Training data related instabilities is another problem with DNNs that require careful curation and monitoring as training problems are easy to force if you say had a troll entering information. Trivial questions and simple google fu are two different things. You can answer questions from how to program a DNN to what is your opinion on X using google. Trivia questions are not even remotely similar. Trial and error is not garbage in garbage out. It requires good information to guide the trial and error process otherwise it will just result in garbage out. It is impossible for an AI to produce good results if you feed it garbage. Good fitness information is not something that you can always get so I doubt there is a fitness function to say how well a chatbot is performing. If you let people rate TAY AI to provide this trolls will just abuse it even more. How can you measure distance for a chatbot. How many blocks are fundamental the game interface, fitness function, score function, distance calculation, game space conversion, ... are all fixed functions and it is not a general purposes system. Human programmers are required to adapt it to another game and certain games would defy such fundamentals with intentionally obtuse interfaces, no or non-clear goals, fog or war, anti-cheat systems. Try getting MarI/O to play a game of DOTA2 with other human players. It is not a self learning AI it is a guided learning AI the guides as you state were all fundamentally hard coded by programmers. It does need a whole support harness to work it needs to know how the character moves, what inputs result in (some games won't even give you feedback till far later in the game or purposely hide results). Humans used in the trials were not even experts just players that played for a few hours. Give an expert player access to multiple trials (emulation) and a computerized input system instead of a controller as well as the gamespace and scripting support and they could always beat MarI/O. Yes the runs where it failed are garbage runs but the critical good information is that it was told it was a bad run which is critically good information. If a troll was giving feedback it would say those garbage runs are great and your good runs are terrible this would be garbage information. The fitness function/score/distance is something you say is part of the "fundamentals". The key point is that there is not always any source of score/performance to rely upon. Children can learn to speak multiple languages with literally the bare fundamentals then go onto programming DNNs when they grow up no external genetic engineering required (External reprogramming). Original art means it looks like art not a bunch of dog images patterned matched again relying on existing datasets in a fully literal sense. The true art it produced was the programmer selecting inputs/outputs that looked good when they let users do random stuff the art was dubious at best so the dream google thing was more of a photoshop tool than anything else. Self program means it can write what you call "fundamentals" even defining on its own what winning is to it or setting its own goals, hack the game on its own, mod the game, make levels for others to play, ... . To say we can get programs to write themselves is a pretty big leap over DNNs which most certainly are not programming anything they are just simulating biological processes in a very crude manner. It is foolish to think that AIs will just develop without some great revolution in technology (brain on a chip). Certainly an AI based on physically accurate biology will be able to develop like a child and would be able to program itself at some point (re-write its classical computer side code).

You do understand how valuable watching that homeless man has been to the cops right. 16000 criminals all being watched. Inversely when a criminal steals your info to falsely register your name and you report your identity theft when you get random mail that also creates a paper trail to follow. And when they get caught with "your" phone they can be arrested for both using false information and stealing "your" phone. Without registration they can just use no information and it is perfectly legal.

Google maps has always been randomly unreliable for me (crashing, crazy route instructions, ...). If your going to demolish something get the city GIS maps with official lot zone information and double check before tearing down a property. Google's systems are almost always in beta testing levels of bugs and data glitches.

No we don't have the ultimate battery and it can get better just not 2x better. There is no reality breaking scaling that is going to provide integer multiple improvements in battery performance without some trade off in another aspect. Chemically speaking there are only so many elements/compounds useful in batteries. Maybe the ultimate long life battery will be a biological glucose to electricity system as you can store a ton of energy in a fairly stable carbon based system (a super efficient fuel cell would work too) or just living implants that run directly off glucose. But electrochemical batteries that don't use respiration have many physical limitations. However these are more like fuel cells than batteries and are far away from practical use given how crappy fuel cell chargers are and how early we are into synthetic biology. In terms of the actual consumer end result is likely going to be long range wireless charging then it doesn't matter really how big your phone battery is as you could have a local wireless power network running off a fat battery pack or just the room beaming power. (Don't expect it to charge a car like this though as those systems have FoD/Organic material detection and more constrained mechanically to prevent microwave cooking you)(Transmitting a few watts here or there is fine but transmitting kilowatts (an integer multiple) is dangerous)
