Not yet. Only 20 or so of the full frames of the descent have been downloaded so far. Will probably be a day or more before they are all down. You can see the frames that are down here: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=0

It certainly seems to be the focus of their long term R&D spending. The ML part, of course, has always been a central part of their business due to its importance for search and ad targeting.

Except the nicest feature of Mosh is it makes the remote session feel more responsive. Is there anything out there (not just local echo) that does this?

Chrome's dominance over Firefox (~65% vs ~30%) surprised me a little. I figured they would have a more equal standing.

Same here. Although I liked your post enough that I spent a couple minutes and signed up using a temporary email address. Sign-ups like that irk me.

The sheer amount of obvious non-innovations that the patent office accepts is staggering. Anecdotal personal experience being part of patent applications has showed me that almost any idea, as long as there are no mainstream examples of p

Note that two out of eight (25%) cars saw a decrease in mpg when using premium gasoline. Not a statistically strong correlation for using premium gas. Probably a combination of varying driving styles and that octane is not supposed to affe

Very impressive! The only issue I've run into is it having trouble discerning lower-case and upper-case letters. Training with my own writing style should be able to correct this however. Is there a plan to offer this as a non-web-browser

You are correct that radiation exposure does statically increase the risk for cancer. A handful of emergency workers did receive exposures above the level where the increased risk could be statistically detected compared to regular cancer r

I completely agree. Fifteen thousand people died in the Japan earthquakes with not a single death due to the Fukushima meltdown. Yet when one asks the average American about it, all he remembers is how horrible Fukushima was. (It's mind b

Maybe we just visit different sub-reddits. I tend to stay away from the front page ones because they remind me to much of the culture Digg used to have when it was popular. But there are plenty of smaller yet highly active subreddits that

The killer feature that reddit has is subreddits. I disagree with the article; there is no one reddit culture. One can go to r/politics, r/gardening, r/fitness, or r/askscience for example, and they all feature their own cultures and own bi

Many people have a very (and I mean very) poor track record at achieving their new years resolutions. If you know your goals will fail, isn't it better to try to overachieve some other way that may actually work.
