Why do you think it would do that? Being better at getting the right diagnosis quickly isn't going to make things any cheaper. If you think otherwise then you're probably just a deranged pot head or vegan kidding themselves.
You've got to be fucking kidding me if you think reducing the amount of tests and getting more efficient at diagnosing cancer does not impact revenue. Talk about delusional...
I'm curious, after a few dozen hospitals adopted Watson, did the "revolution" it created cause a negative impact to the massive amounts of revenue created by maintaining the status quo within the Cancer Industrial Complex?
If so, you have your answer as to why adoption would die off faster than someone mentioning a cure...
It is the CEO's responsibility to know what's going on in his company. What the fuck is that idiot good for if he doesn't? The "decisions" made at that level could be gained from a magic-8-ball with at least the same level of quality.
CEO positions are largely political and superficial in nature. Kind of like how we elect one person to be in charge of 300 million US Citizens as the "CEO" of America.
That said, why in the fuck would a CEO give a shit about what's going on? The only thing they care about is if they can make money off selling a product or service, legal or otherwise. And the reason I dismiss legality so easily is they've already proven no matter if you're caught, it's worth it. Bankers operate on this model every fucking day, which is why they get away with raping your privacy and financial murder.
Corruption will never be contained or controlled unless it is punished appropriately. Right now, punishment is a fucking joke.
You can do something with a horse, but can do nothing with a cart that has no horse. It's not a good analogy when discussing content. A real analogy would be which came first the chicken or the egg.
You can't do anything with 8K content without 8K screens, and you can't do anything with 8K screens without 8K content. Choosing to develop either is not a question of carts before horses.
The cart and horse analogy is often used to describe putting things in the wrong order. In this example, it would be commercially pushing 8K hardware before a need for it even exists. Yes, I get the two are obviously related and dependent on each other, but justification often defines the order, and choosing to even develop 8K content is hardly justified today when only 16% of consumers own 4K hardware, and and even smaller amount of content online is 4K-enabled. Shit, you can't even get 1080p streams everywhere, proving we still have an elephant-sized bandwidth problem to solve for.
Does pointless development for the sake of massive profit surprise me? Hardly. We've been dealing with more and more "features" no one asked for for years now with our most popular electronic devices. It's how a vendor justifies a $1000 smartphone, or a $15,000 television.
The OPM data breach lost all the shit anyway. It's a treasure trove for identity theft. Where did you go to high school, what was you mothers maiden name, what was you address 20 years ago? It's all in those SF171 forms.
You're thinking too small. It's not about identity theft. It's about intelligence work and social engineering of people who are involved in national security. It's about recruiting new spies. It's about predicting and influencing policy. And with resumes, it's about understanding another country's secret projects so you can work against them.
Ah, so I'm guessing a website that specializes in whoring out resumes that include massive lists of US Citizens holding Top Secret clearances has already been confiscated by the US Government, and was shut down?
Oh look, LinkedIn is still up and running. Gee, I wonder why that is. Maybe it's because US Citizens holding Top Secret clearances has never been deemed classified, confidential, or even sensitive enough to not put on a resume that you freely share with damn near anyone and everyone.
This was a leak of PII (drivers license detail, SSNs, etc.) and nothing more. The parent was right. The OPM hack makes this look like stolen lunch money by comparison.
I've held plenty of clearances, going back over 20 years. At NO point during my service or debriefs from leaving jobs that required clearances was it deemed illegal or even discouraged to list my work on a resume, also known as that unclassified document you share with anyone and everyone you might want to work for all throughout your life.
Was sensitive information leaked? Application documents included drivers license info, passport numbers, and some SSN data. Yes, I'd say some PII was not protected well. But enough of this "Top Secret" bullshit hype. Gathering a list of U.S. Citizens who hold Top Secret clearances would probably take about 30 seconds on LinkedIn, also known as that public website that specializes in whoring out out your curriculum vitae.
So there are people actually using instagram or facebook? I thought both were some kind of narcissist heaven.
In case you hadn't noticed by the scores of brainless idiots making six figures doing nothing more than whoring themselves out on social media, it pays to be a narcissist these days.
"The lack of available 8K HDR content is also a problem. But there is some content floating around."
Uh, just for the record, we're still saying this shit about 4K.
As we put the cart before the horse again, keep in mind that it'll probably be years before you can actually start using your obscenely expensive 8K set on a regular basis.
The good news is you can enjoy those $75 Invisible-To-The-Naked-Eye HD movies on a $2000 disc player in the meantime. Yeah, I know, movie theaters are such a ripoff these days...
Why would they lose customers over combining government census numbers with information it's obtained from space satellites? It has nothing to do with their social networking site.
They won't lose customers because none of them give a shit about privacy anymore.
Oh, and this activity has nothing to do with social media. They'll merely try and sell it that way, in much the same way they've been trying to innocently label themselves as just a social networking site.
I haven't seen much in the way of signs of a "better idiot". What's happening is that life is getting more complicated, largely due to technical and economic issues, and people are less able to cope. It looks to me like the bar is getting raised.
Technology has become idiot-proof in many ways, in response to an ever-growing crowd of consumers who have zero desire (and now zero need) to actually become proficient with technology in any way. Hardware doesn't ship with an operating manual anymore because of the K.I.S.S. design. And as the world flattens, there are entire markets that are being exposed to technology for the first time, which you have to design and cater to that natural ignorance as well in order to capitalize on it.
Life may be getting more complicated in other ways, but this doesn't dismiss the fact that the masses today have the luxury if remaining rather ignorant about their idiot-proof devices now. Unfortunately, ignorance can also create a victim rather easily, which tends to speak to the half-billion dollar ransomware industry.
I had a meeting with my manager and someone from HR the last time I was laid off.
You're telling me they announce lay offs by mail? What happens if I ignore the delivery?
Seems like a bad way to deliver bad news...
I had a meeting with my manager and someone from HR the last time I was laid off.

Someone probably paraded some bullshit statistics in front of management that claimed the chances of an ex-employee going postal was minimized if you deliver a firing via postal worker.
For everyone saying the unemployed will rise up against the AI and automation of generic manual labor and white collar jobs just remember one thing - this advancement applies to the military as well. Once the autonomous military capabilities, including automated manufacturing, exceed the manual ones, humanity will be at the complete mercy of those few who own the armies and factories unlike any time in all human history. Good luck with that humans.
If they maintain tradition with rushing automation solutions to market and keep security a distant priority, the masses won't need luck. A 12-year old will be able to crack an IoT-grade army of 'bots like a fucking egg.
Ignorance about electronic security has always been the Achilles heel. I don't foresee this changing.
...it's not going to end well unless we figure out a balance between the Luddites and the ultra-wealthy robot owning class locking themselves in fortresses.
The chasm between the ultra-wealthy and the other 99.999% of the human race isn't shrinking. Greed doesn't give a shit about balance or the masses. Greed cares about Greed, and will happily build a bigger fortress, both today and tomorrow.
I have 3 bmws (an e85, e90 and f32). Using the Z4 as an example (6.9 liters oil capacity), I'll buy 7 liters of oil and a filter from the dealership and it costs me a whole $86. Buying BMW oil from the dealership costs me less then buying mobile 1 0-40 from a parts store. No idea how you're spending so much to change oil on your motorcycle.
5 quarts of Mobil 1 0W-40 runs $23 at Walmart. Unless your OEM filter is somewhere north of $40, I fail to understand your math or justification for shopping at the stealership. Parts stores are like gas stations; you're already there because of a need, so convenience pricing kicks in, which tends to discourage me from shopping there unless it's absolutely necessary.
This is true of damn near any make; there is little to nothing that is cheaper at the stealership, especially from the department that generates the most profit, and it's usually not hard at all to meet and often exceed OEM spec. This is also why I refuse to buy a make that threatens to void my warranty with 3rd party parts or DIY maintenance.
That's hardly even in the same league as perpetuating the idea of not having kids unless you can afford them (which would essentially mean 1% of society should have kids).
I mostly agree, save for one possibility: We've concentrated wealth so much, that it now only takes a small handful of greed-traitors to flip the switch. If Gates, Buffet, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Musk decided that they were going to team up to change the tax structure and institute UBI, I think they could do it. They have pockets so immensely deep that they could completely own the airways, drive the conversation, lobby all the legislators, and fund all the candidates to make that happen. FFS, they could almost fund the first year of UBI themselves.
Sorry, but I disagree. You underestimate even their wealth and more importantly, their political influence. You'll convince me that billionaires give a shit when you get the Too Big To Fail banking institution to agree to the same thing. Until then, 99.999% of society is fucked.
Outside of that remote chance, I do agree. Almost all of our current problems could be solved if we could redistribute stupid-rich money back into the economy. We've got more than enough resources, goods, and money to give everyone in the US food to eat and a roof over their head. The fact that people go without is largely because a small percent of greedy assholes have way, way more than they know what to even do with.
The true problem I've reiterated here many times. The disease of Greed has created the chasm between those in control and the rest of society, and it's not shrinking.
I've got a BMW motorcycle. If I do an oil change myself using "official" BMW oil it runs me $150 bucks. $200 if I take it to a dealer. I assume BMW adds unobtainium to their oil or something, cuz god only know why it costs so much.
I don't know whether to thank you for this information, or offer emotional support for your pain. $150 bucks for a fucking oil change? Even if I was charging consulting rates for my time and effort, it would not cost me that much for my full-synthetic DIY maintenance.
BMW, I would ask you how you sleep at night, but the answer is clear; on a mattress stuffed full of customer money.
Seriously. This debate always comes up. Does it have a practical purpose? Once the debate is solved will anything change?
Some analysis looks to open doors and our minds to new paths. Some looks to validate whether or not we should close doors and move on.
I am but a layman, but my understanding of P vs. NP targets the latter, not the former. Being efficient in our thinking always has value. Thinking you're traveling down a a dead end road vs. knowing you are, tends to steer efficiency.
I was about to mod you up after reading your first sentence, but then the second came. Look, we all know of people who hop on the bandwagon of science and are as stubborn as anyone. There are also plenty of religious folk who use their brains (in the voice of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word faith. I do not think it means what you think it means").
Since you accept only half of the parents feedback, care to elaborate, Inigo?
(Yes, as a matter of fact I have seen The Princess Bride many times.)
You may have had bad experiences, but that is apparently relatively uncommon. You're much more likely to have trouble with a Ford, Opel, Mazda, Volvo or Toyota.
Total cost of ownership is what defines the "ultimate" price of a BMW.
By comparison, I can probably afford to repair damn near all of the other makes you've listed at the same time.
Trump keeps his word. Jobs are returning to the US. well it is only for robots, but he never said it will be for people, did he?
Yea, he has said people, at least with respect to coal jobs.
Coal jobs? You mean the jobs that probably should be replaced by robots, and sooner rather than later? Those jobs?
Automation and robotics are inevitably going to keep taking over more and more low skilled jobs. That can't, and arguably shouldn't be stopped. The problem is a lot of people don't have the ambition to transition to more higher skilled jobs, whether that is because of nature or nurture, it doesn't matter, but it seems nevertheless true.
The true problem is automation will destroy the low-end jobs. And "good enough" AI will work to destroy the high-end jobs. The problem for the masses is not ambition; most are simply incapable. This is the reason brain surgeons and rocket scientists are a rare breed; not everyone holds the intelligence or skill to become one.
Is it possible that we won't see massive unemployment anytime soon? Sure. People adapt. I'm not too worried about that, at least in my lifetime. Of a greater concern is this leads to more wealth pooling at the top few percent and money idle isn't all that useful to the economy. We need to, at minimum, tax investment income and capital gains the same as ordinary income, and ideally use the revenue delta to reduce taxes on ordinary income.
You will be as successful at taxing the wealthy elite tomorrow as you are today. In other words, you won't succeed. Taxation is always touted as the obvious answer to fund UBI, but it's damn near impossible to get the wealthy elite to actually pay taxes. They're rather good at lobbying to maintain tax havens and loopholes to avoid taxes.
Life goes on even if we have more time to live it...
As the unemployable masses grow, so will boredom. All it takes is a 2-day blackout in a major city to cause a spike in births 9 months later, so we know what people will be doing once they're bored. Our fragile planet can't even sustain the population now. Life expectancy will be shortened by design to minimize the impact of population growth and hopefully avoid a cull.
