It says it is for "leverage to recruit more and better talent". While revenue is an important factor, many creators also what their work to be seen and enjoyed, so being able to tell people you work will be widely seen can be a convincing factor.
In Canada we have at least as much those things as the US, but the Conservatives just lost an election for proposing to bring in mealy 10 times (adjusted for population) as many Syrians as Obama is proposing because it wasn't enough.
Turkey and Russia both have political leaders who have created wars to boost their popularity. It has worked well for both of them so far.
Since the Turkish leads started their war against the Kurds and just used it to win an election in the last couple month, I'm not sure how they would benefit from starting new trouble with Russia. I think the Russian leaders would have the most to gain over this.
For a while I the server for my web app ran on a Palm Pre smart phone. because has significantly better performance then running it on my wireless router.
I still run a web server on my phone from time to time to test the new version of the web app that I'm developing on my phone.
What about the right's tedious, inaccurate talking points? Or how their philosophy is so limited, if it can't solve a problem they simply deny it exists.
In Canada our voting systems have a design lifespan of one day, because they are made out of paper and cardboard. Still a lot more secure and reliable then the US system.
Barry Marshall, who discovered ulcers where caused by a bacterial infection, tested it by drink a petri dish of the bacteria and got gastritis and then cured himself with antibiotics.
Not only has our brains made the world safer, but it has enabled communication technology that allows to be informed about dangers from around the world that we have virtually no chance of being victims of so we can be afraid of them anyway.
With 4 or more cores in every computer it's pretty rare for the CPU to be a bottleneck these days. In fact it's been rare for the CPU to be a bottleneck for the last 20 years.
We watched some ads for the Descendants TV series on the Family Channel (Canadian Disney Channel) we had to watch 3 unskippable 30 seconds ad just see the minute long ad.
1. We are in a service economy today. While the Chinese are actually working making things, we count on plumbers, starbucks baristas, help desk weenies, airline baggage handlers, military personnel, construction workers, and so on. How many would work for free because they want too? Seriously? Most humans would sit on their butts and watch TV all day. Those who would want to work to get out of the house won't work as long as if they had a boss and deadlines and bills to pay. Which brings me to point number 2...
All these jobs can be automated, some with today's technology if labour wasn't so cheap.
2. How do we divide scarce resources when no money is involved? Yes with services we have scarce resources again replicators or not. In a free market if there are no large hoard of people desperate for any job and a skill or sucky work is required the price will go up. Someone needs to go out in 110 degree temperates in Phoenix to make that apartment ready for the rest of us to live in. If they worked based on the goodness of their hearts WE WOULD HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE. Basically if people did what they wanted and make paintings all day and tried to do IT work then no one would do the crappy work that no one wants. In a free market people work for money and the money will work itself out and have people work for what is best for society... not what is best for themselves.
People could do some of the remaining needed and wanted work in exchange for money for housing and other items of limited supply.
3. It takes a lot of work to become a doctor, lawyer, cisco architect, and so on. Seriously it takes years of tests, certifications, work experience, and blood, sweat and tears.
Some of these jobs are already being taken over by AI.
4. People with free food would become rabbits and reproduce and take over the whole world lowering the amount of opportunities for everyone else.
Of course, in wealthy economies the birth rate drops below replacement levels.
5. What would society be like if we did this? People would have less services, homes, electronics, etc. Reality it would be like the Soviet Union. Even if you remove fascist elements you would have 10 year waits for cars, starvation (or maybe not with replicators), no where to go, high unemployment and so on.
You seem to be missing the whole concept of what post-scarcity means.
Ask any eastern European on here or Russian what they think about this? They will be flabbergasted and say you have no idea what you are preaching? I remember life in the Soviet Union... etc.
Despite their claims, those counties where the opposite of socialist.
So it is sad but a cold hearted reality that our childhoods are over. We need to all work our butts off and be punished for not being the best or persuing the most economically sound path which society is willing to pay more for.
Maybe we should go back to hunter gatherers so we don't have to work so hard.
Unless someone can come up with some better ideas? My idea if I were king based on the free market would be to give condoms to poor countries and with less oversupply of workers consuming resources live will be better for everyone:-) The only way Europe left the dark middle ages was the bubonic plague. As horrible as this was with 1/3 of the population gone the middle class and freedom started where people didn't have to be a surf anymore and Paris and London had jobs again that paid something.

You likely could use your existing Wi-fi router. Just install OpenWrt on it.
The government run school systems and aid agencies have to account for how the money is effecting them.
Also, Linsey McGoey is fully in her rights to critique how they spend it.

Of course it could be all an honest mistake.
I'm sure it takes a lot of skill it milk so much money out of contracts like these.

"Hello, I'm a customer with more money then brains."
I guess that explains a lot of advertising.
The Toronto Star version mentions that they took very few naps.
Slashdot does recognize its commenters. People who post uprated comments check a check box to disable ads. I have it checked off right now.
Google announced a while ago that they would take into account page load speed in search ranking.
We would welcome any objective investigation.

"at what point does it go from genuine dissent into outright fraud for gain?"
If you believe what you are saying is true that is genuine dissent. I believe what you are saying is false that is fraud.

Got the Nobel prize.
Those subsidies will pay off in the coming decades when those things become cheap enough for everyone.
Has anyone compared the claimed $115 million in revenue to the leaked data? I've read some suggestions that their revenue was a lot higher.
Safer, better and happier are three very different things. Blum said safer.
Unlike better and happier, safer can be objectively measured and we are definitely safer.
Not only has our brains made the world safer, but it has enabled communication technology that allows to be informed about dangers from around the world that we have virtually no chance of being victims of so we can be afraid of them anyway.
It would be hard to collect the reward when they're bankrupt.

Star Trek is the better idea.
