A backdoor that allows facebook to snoop means that it's already in full use for datamining and resale for advertisement and well paying government agencies.
This comment should be the most cited dietary paper of the decade.
The OP paper just found that someone with a shit diet that enables them to turn into a fatty. Turns into fatty again when they return to the shit diet. Good fucking job stating the obvious.
Of the hundred people in attendance in this rooms the majority is not a homicidal cannibal stalker, we found 51% of those in attendance have no plans to murder and eat someone once they leave the building.
This is common sense. All the self driving car moral bullshit have simply been some philosophy student trying to prove themself not obsolete by injecting their retarded trolley experiment into reality.
They should make the car use facial recognition on the driver, if you're found to be a philosopher it instantly self destructs to save some victim from having to listen to your ethics moral bullshit memes.
"How safe are driverless cars going to be if Roombas don't even work right yet? "
How safe are nuclear pressure vessels if a PET bottle with water in it will explode when heated in a microwave? Clearly we're using alien zero point technology and not water boilers for power production.
He is an activist, he's been arrested when participating in protests.
Depending on your definition of charlatan he qualifies for that too, he also earns A LOT of money as a doomspeaker at various climate events(and did so during his NASA career even though he wasn't allowed to under the public employment contract but I digress).
During his time at GISS he also set the wonderful standard of retroactively editing their own climate record through sweeping changes in adjustment methodology which have pretty much all their press release announcements of past years completely invalid. If they say "Nth warmest year on record " this year they'll have it readjusted 5 years down the line to be "Nth-10 warmest year on record", because they goal is to perpetually keep the current year as hot as possible and the past be damned. If he was a historician then Donald Trump would have started the Iraq war during his last presidency. It's all ideologically oriented fiction and no fact nowadays.
Feel free to check their press release archives yourself, the at-release graphs are included in them. But I'm sure you have some mental gymnastics ready to explain why the data is reliable despite changing appearance through statistical retconning every third year on average.
Thanks to CSI I was found not guilty of a murdering ten people in a public place because an enhanced eye reflection showed I was having vacation in Europe at the time.
The LINEAR part is wrong because intracellular coping mechanisms(DNA repair, mopping up reactive oxygen species(which is one of the damage modes of ionizing radiation)) have a range in which they function optimally. Asssuming a fully linear relationship there could no repair or maintenance done at all which is a ridiculous suggestion.
The NO THRESHOLD part doesn't hold up either as there's no detectable cancer rate curve among radiation worker that correlates to their doses inside the allowed intervals.
If we compare a radiation worker that only does administrative work and accumulates 1mSv to one that works in a hotlab and accumulates 16mSv we should see a 16 times increase in radiation related cancer according to the LNT, but that's not what we see in the real world.
DNA mutations are more common in certain places(don't ask why, probably related to the geometry of packaged DNA and some other factors). An algo could spot check these places first to give preliminary answers but it would still take until it's finished to get a true answer.
Paul Ehrlich is a famous doomspeaker known for his predictions of imminent doom and gloom.
He's not famous for being right though.
He may not believe in the easter bunny but he certainly believes in The Great Demise despite its consistent failure to materialize in any shape or form.
It's just Malthus 200 year old meme and alarmist policy as usual. Claim doom and gloom is right around the corner if we don't stop this right now, if called out just claim "this time it's different! it's not like in the past because reasons!"
The focus on consciousness as a guiding beacon and the insistence that consciousness is a indivisible unity is something philosophers made up because they needed something to debate endlessly with no chance of every getting anywhere.
If we define any umbrella term to be indivisible we can have the same pointless masturbation over its unattainable special snowflakeyness.
We acknowledge that a Nation or Computer or Corporation is something consisting of components that can be identified and described with some degree of precision but when it comes to consciousness there's suddenly a refusal to accept that it could be broken down to components only, there have to be some core that's pure consciousness to it despite the fact that we can enumerate components that if removed from a human would reduce him to something that pretty much everyone would agree on is something not conscious. Or do you think a person with no sense of touch, smell, vision, hearing, emotions, no language or object recognition, no motor control, no memory, no planning and executive capability would still be a magical conscious being? If you do, please tell me what precisely he still have left that is consciousness, and oh, if you name a component that I forgot to remove that's of course not an argument for magical consciousness, it's an argument for my list of subcomponents being incomplete.
And with that out of the way, how come that artificially implementing a component of what we refer to as consciousness isn't actually a step towards artificial consciousness?
We already have superhuman AI. Limited superhumanity. Watson beat the shit out of the jeopardy champions because superhuman reflexes and superhuman searchtime. Image classification and search algorithm are superhuman in they work rapdily and around the clock even if the result may be so-so.
This trend will become more and more apparent as more fields get in the reach of specialist AI, essentially we're building autistic savant superhumanity. And like autistic savants these will not be much of an malicious existential threat.
By the time we can actually build a universally superhuman AI that could form willful malicious intent we'll be so immersed in AI and so used to build, deal with and monitor AI that it will be a mostly forgotten nonissue.

Medical errors kill more people than respiratory problems.

We called it propaganda for hundreds of years? Why change now? Is this some form of doublenextplusgoodspeak?

Lets drag whoever produced those numbers out into the parking lot and have them shot.

It's only allowed to be blatantly partisan if you're Comey?

You will never see it happening.
Along with the rest of the city block you're in.
So after weeks of investigation it turns out it's a failure mode that even the most amateur of KSP players recognize.
Sounds like needless complexity when you could just put an RTG in the fucking rover instead.
Nah, I'm sure the rainbow condoms will be a hit.
