There's a real threat these days of big companies and naive developers pushing machine learning as a panacea. Really it's more like a potent mutagen escaped from lab containment into your other work. People trying to obsolete expertise with poorly thought out and even more poorly tested applications of machine learning are definitely going to continue to cause deadly consequences in and around self-driving vehicles.
It'll be interesting to see how they react if a lot of states other than California actually pick this up. Before now, their entire argument has hinged on placating naysayers by claiming that they would indeed leave it up to States' rights.
My ATT and DirecTV bills both actually went up that very billing cycle. They didn't even wait a whole billing cycle to prove that the hypothetical savings was a big dirty lie.
Well, it's a little bit more than pure vanity. The night life game there, where admittedly vanity is key, is seen as an end of it's own to a lot of locals. If you've never lived in a town with 24-hour commerce and more than 2 million people your own age you don't really know what you're missing out on.
Empirical evidence abounds. All you have to do is watch where the money has been going for the past 30 years. I'm smart enough to know the litany of "accidental" exploits were largely left unaddressed on purpose, and even when they weren't actively inserting them they were using management and hiring practices they knew would make passable security nearly impossible to achieve while at the same time eliminating any impetus to even try. Nobody even questions this anymore in the IT community. Luckily for Microsoft though, most the computer geeks out there are complicit in the evildoing because they see the cultivating of this type of naivety amongst regular users as a limitless opportunity for new revenue streams. They're happy to help marginalize people like me who point out that the emperor wears no clothes.
Microsoft was being funded by the CIA, NSA, and FBI to backdoor Windows and Internet Explorer. They had to kill off Netscape because it couldn't be intimidated, coerced, or bought.
Well, they're better than Microsoft and Facebook. That's not saying much though, since those two companies are basically the least ethical in the entire history of companies.
Yea, here's the thing though. Occulus blew it too. Sure, they had a demonstrably usable product but they also suckered investors, took developers for a huge ride, lied about their intent to support Linux, and ultimately failed to deliver something anyone but Facebook can care about.
They don't care whether the ARM chips would have been better or not. Letting Microsoft choose ARM chips would be an admission of defeat. It's more important to Intel that Microsoft keep up appearances by choosing an Intel-designed chip than it is for the chip to actually be a good choice.
No, I think he's actually right this time. Within the last few years I remember hearing separately about both the "lithium-oxygen" thing and the "[something unexpected] mesh cathode" thing. Long enough ago in both cases that it's suspicious this is being reported on again as though it's brand new now. Who knows though, maybe they did really have another breakthrough in feasibility? I didn't read the article.
The biggest part of the problem is people framing the task of creating better communication tools in a metaphor about bulk harvesting of vermin for extermination.

I followed it fine. Are you sure he's the one who is dumb here?

I seem to recall India having serious issues with this too though...
Yea, rural shitholes like Los Angeles.
Nobody who has reached this point in their career is still naive enough to believe they'd be considered for promotion in the first place.
You're essentially right but you deserve to be modded down for trying to make it political. Don't bother denying it, "Presidente."
Replying to undo broken moderation. I selected "insightful" but it chose "redundant."
You're gonna have to keep your angry racist off-topic tirade down to 2 paragraphs max or I'm just not gonna even read it, ok?
The real question is whether they've previously sued anyone else for irresponsible disclosure like this.

This would never have happened at a Nintendo tournament.
I think we can finally agree that EA is messing with people's minds.
Until this hit the front page, I believed it was for our security, too: https://yro.slashdot.org/story...

If it was actually people being silenced by the millions instead of just astroturf bots, he would have a point.

You can now also heat your house with it while discharging!
