The folks you want to drag into a store can afford to not need an enforced-shopping-trip-subsidized ride
I'd have said the same thing about e-mail, but even pretty rich people (and small-to-mid sized companies, even with lots of cash) use ad supported email. In the new world, driverless cars get more and more expensive as they need to meet standard 103.1.4 (not backwards compatible) for road use, and they are only available in 10k car lots. I suppose you may be able to buy one, but it'll be prohibitive even for middle class people, and stupidly expensive for even upper-middle class people.
As for poor people... skimming a few bucks each from many poor people is a time honored business plan.
It still happens, and not just in third world countries. Beware of this when traveling. The foreign office of your country should advise you if that's likely where you are visiting... and not a few Eastern European (but EU) countries are on that list.
So get piss drunk with beer so you don't remember the ads
Get drunk and get taken to Taco Bell (with inflated prices), a high pressure sales pitch (goodbye inhibitions) or a brothel. It doesn't matter if you remember, your cash and any credit you can get are gone.
I do see it as a probable future (good luck sustaining a business off those of us who will pay to avoid ads). I can see lots of people on Slashdot saying, as they explain away their use, "I just get more work done while the Uber-free is driving all over and am a unique individual who never pays attention to ads anyway."
You're running the latest sub-version of "Mavericks". And the point isn't htat you have to look up the stupid name, it's that non-techie people can tell tech support/file bugs using a cute name and not scary numbers. If you were less of a techie, it's probably a lot easier for you to find the name, cause you would look elsewhere in the GUI.
Them being in order would actually be worse... the lack of rhyme or reason means that they don't feel like disguised numbers. Which is important to not scare people.
It probably also has people not notice when they skip an update. If I'm updating from Helium to Oxygen, it's obvious I missed an update. Should I update? I didn't notice the missing updates...
Compare to I'm going to upgrade from Puma to Sugar Lynx.
Yeah, FB seems to have (in the US) moved more into the communication than social bucket. As in, some people only communicate via FB (not even by the fucking phone they have in their hand they use to check FB).
At any rate, the US government clearly disagrees, so I'm looking forward to the health care system imploding now that Obamacare is set to go away in 2019.
Do you expect your annual salary every calendar year (in biweekly or monthly increments)? Or that the salary is paid "when the business is ready".
There ARE new features, such as the ability for multiple users collaborating on a Word document to see the changes in real-time as someone types them. But how often did you CARE about that?
Me not at all, but I know other people were really excited. And, importantly for MS, those are people who were moving to GoogleDocs because it had that feature.
The names aren't supposed to make sense. They're supposed to be easy to report. It's so you can tell devs you're on "Namibian Tiger" and not feel embarrassed you're out of data, or fat finger 10.11.10 as 10.11.11
You can usually get to the version number if you look.
People are raging because the payouts are random, and they don't know the odds. Whether that's for a virtual item, cash at a casino, or a raffle, knowing the odds is important to make a decision about whether to buy a ticket.
For security reasons, move your coins off the exchange right away. However, whenever people bring up the difficulty of cashing out when bitcoin goes into a freefall, the response is always that your coins will always be on the exchange so you won't have to wait in line to get coins out to transfer.
Changes in existing federal regulations have to go through a process and be justified, usually by new research/evidence. You wouldn't want the federal government to have too much arbitrary power, would you?
Although this is not the way that it is probably implemented in the law (or intended) there is a theoretical difference. A 100Mbps connection with throttling sometimes runs at sub-100Mbps (intentionally). A 100Mbps connection with fast-lanes sometimes runs at 1 Gbps. Of course, it means the same thing, just a change in promised speed and phrasing.
I'm assuming this is a legitimate question. It's hard to tell because it's a fairly similar argument to what trolls use.
Basically, it seems unambiguous that racism (and sexism, but I'll limit myself to racism) existed in the past. The data fed into the AI will take into account racist decisions by humans. As a plausible example that we can pretend is true for this conversation, black people were given worse mortgage terms that led to more defaults. Therefore, the AI interprets black people as having less likelihood to pay back a mortgage (because it does not know and cannot control for the terms). So, that explains how racism from the past can affect the present.
So, you just eliminate the race field. Everything fine right? Nope, because there are other variables that can predict race, well enough to keep the race based bias. What factors? I'm not sure. But you can certainly imagine that some variables are pretty easy imagine. Let's pretend black people are far more likely to buy a blue car (this one doesn't even seem plausible on face, but we'll assume it)
So when the AI says that people with blue cars are more likely to default on mortgages, is it learning about a more honest correlation (blue cars are favored by people about to go bankrupt) or a less honest correlation (blue cars are more likely to be driven by black people which are more likely to get fucked over by bankers)? How do you tell?
Well, TFA was about starting a process to try to identify which is which.
You don't think that algorithms can use other proxies for race, age and gender? And that pattern identification algorithms aren't exceptionally good at finding those proxies?
Both the ACA and NN have like an 86% approval rate. If you noticed, the ACA repeal failed. If NN was driven by congress it also would still be in place.
IIRC, they just removed Kaspersky from the list of potential suppliers. That is, they actively forbid any future government contracts to Kaspersky, but that didn't mean Kaspersky had ever gotten any before.

As necessary, no. But are you saying that opting out doesn't impose costs, both social and professional?
I think the NN rules required 50k or 100k users to be effected.
In fairness, he didn't destroy so ,much as sell.
So, less stupid, more evil.

An ideal currency is stable in purchasing power. Bitcoin is most certainly not.
And 95% of UK ppl have 24+Mbps already. This is est. the minimum in rural areas, etc.

You don't think that algorithms can use other proxies for race, age and gender? And that pattern identification algorithms aren't exceptionally good at finding those proxies?
What's a bonafide trend? How do you distinguish it from correctly identifying racism/sexism in the training data?
You can look at the outputs. It shouldn't be that hard.
You can also look at if any of the inputs are proxies for race/gender.
Both the ACA and NN have like an 86% approval rate. If you noticed, the ACA repeal failed. If NN was driven by congress it also would still be in place.
Well, they have high-paying ISP jobs waiting for them; win or lose, the troops get taken care of.
Alternatively, the question would be "what is best for the country" You know, country over party and all that.

Well, Trump doesn't really believe in tit-for-tat either.
