    Maybe you are correct. Maybe Benioff means AI in the sense of "As If".

    Hey, I think I heard of some US politicians who are working on that.

    Indeed. The only solution I know of, that fits current economic practices, is to have fewer people. Essentially, if you don't need as many people, then you need to have fewer people. This does not have to mean "killing people", but could instead mean "make new people at a lower rate". I've got no idea how to accomplish that, given factors such as religions that tell believers that they must populate the earth with their offspring, etc.

  6. I think they found out *too late* that the problem was physical, namely battery expansion due to heating. The battery had no room to expand in the phone housing, and suffered a mechanical breakage. I think their "different batteries" suffered from the same problem.

    They might have been able to avoid the problem if they went to a thin-enough battery, but the battery life probably would have been reduced to a stupidly small time. In the end, they decided to cut their losses.

  7. You could get massive action if you announced that there is oil in the asteroid.

    But then they would be trying to invade it and/or make it crash into the Earth, which is what we were trying to avoid. So, er, nevermind.

    Scott Greenfield says as much:

    That’s the nature of politics, that anyone can run and should. And if voters agree with her, and decide she’s better than (or not as bad as) the alternative, she will be elected.

    Exactly who does she intend to take down?

    I suspect it does not matter. From the summary:

    [Wu] hasn't announced which district she wants to represent in the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent alerting her potential opponent while she prepares

    Uh huh. That's what politicians say about their plan, when they don't actually have a plan. "I can't tell you my idea, because I don't want to give it to my opponent."

  14. The article says it's about the size of a human, but it sure looks larger in the picture. (http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/stanford-ocean-one-humanoid-diving-robot)

    I suppose it's still an improvement over a larger ROV, but I wonder if there are hatches in ships that it cannot pass because of its size?

    It's an analogy to Trump University.

    When Trump U got sued as frauds, and Donald was asked what he knew about it, he said he only licensed his name to them, and was not involved in the operation or the content.

    Analogous to the Blackberry and TCL relationship. Get it?
