Researchers at Cornell say something, that doesn't mean it is true. See for example, https://blockchain.info/pools. It seems what they are saying is that there were a few specific periods of time where GHash was doing 51% of the work. Most of the time this isn't the case though.
I wonder how they handle the one trip to the airport requirement. I assume this means, one trip to look for a fare. Otherwise you could get into a cab, ask for the airport, and get the reply 'sorry citizen I already went there this week'. Presumably once already there the cabie could pick up a fare for the trip back as well.
Why should they have to get any sort of "license" regardless of the cost? If I want to hire X to give me a ride, how is that any of the government's business? All regulations like this do is keep poor people away from opportunities
What about DoS and malware countermeasures? If you put in a clause like "it is Ok to squelch malicious traffic" there is a nice loophole for defining 'malicious' however we like.
Can an artificial personality actually have a will? Can it become afraid of its own demise?
"Artificial" is something of an arbitrary distinction. Humans posses these qualities (or at least we think that we do, or something), so it is possible for another entity to posses the same, regardless of origins.
This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Comic Book Guy captures Lucy Lawless, looks her up and down with a sneer, and judges her "near mint condition"
The summary is ridiculous. There is no way NASA could be 'underfunded'. It will do what it can with the funding it has. There is an infinite amount of other things it COULD do, if only it had the money. By this logic only an infinite budget would be sufficient. In other words, one can't just generally be underfunded. One can be underfunded in regards to a specific goal. For example, we might say that NASA is underfunded if we want to send a man to Mars (digression: an absurd waste of time and resources IMO). I suppose implied by the summary is the addition "(underfunded) for what I would like to see it doing"
Yeah it is a little unclear how the players are the "losers" in this scenario. Somehow the market compelled this alleged racist owner to hire a bunch of athletes from the group he disliked and pay them millions upon millions. I haven't seen any claims that they were paid less than any athletes from other groups,
As expected, the report exonerated the CEO, executives who report directly to her and the company's board of directors. Fifteen employees have been dismissed from GM because of misconduct or failure to respond properly as evidence of the ignition switch's defects mounted, Ms. Barra said.
More than half of those officials were executives, and Ms. Barra said five other GM employees have been disciplined but remain with the company. Ms. Barra wouldn't identify the employees by name, except to confirm that two low-ranking engineers involved with the design of the defective switch were dismissed. Also fired were lawyers and officials responsible for safety and dealings with regulators, according to people familiar with the matter.
But we’re excited to report that in the past few years we’ve built a thriving enterprise security business and now have more than 10,000 happy, paying customers.
As of yet autonomous vehicles are unproven. It would be nice to have a driver on the wheel just in case.
I'm not sure it makes sense to ask a grossly inexperienced driver to take in over in emergency conditions. Someone who hasn't had to drive their whole life isn't going to be much help. Now if you had someone who has been driving for 20+ years this might be useful, but there won't be any of those since the care all drive themselves.

This is hardly unique to corporations, it is always a hazard when relying on another party.
+1 funny!
Yes, cheap and accessible is better than neither.
In this case you are not being paid to have sex. You are getting paid to pretend to enjoy it.

We will need all the analog guys when the machines become sentient and we need to keep them out of our networks

I didn't see any mention of who the other 14 fired individuals were.
I expect they could get you under RICO
It smells like a trap.
And when is abolishing the NSA going to be on the ballot? Last hundred elections all I saw was a choice between Kang and Kodos
I am interested in exactly how they cut off mosquito heads and empty the salivary glands.
Could you clarify? Who is Alyssa Rowan to TrueCrypt? Sorry for my ignorance, I tried Googling a bit and just got links to this article.

It is not "your" data, it is data about you. Data that you are freely giving them.
