Interestingly enough, when a medical committee is looking at brain surgeons, they typically have a few on the committee.
Government is about balancing interests of multiple groups against each other and deciding the best public policy.For instance, eliminating ALL cars from the road would save tens of thousands of lives and reduce the CO2 emissions of the US by orders of magnitude. But we don't do that because a destroyed economy isn't worth it (at least to rational people).
The EPA must always balance the cost of regulations with the expected benefit. If you have a committee of people who do not know the industry, don't know the real costs of a policy, then you end up with bad policy. The very LEAST that should have been done is to augment the committee with industry experts.
As it is they are keeping half the scientists and will be bringing in Industry people.
Lawyers have a Fiduciary Duty to their clients. This would seem to mean that ANYTHING of a legal nature that enters the legal system will need to be reviewed by a lawyer for accuracy and to ensure that it represents their client's best interest.
I don't see how an AI program can fulfill a Fiduciary responsibility.
Responsible Owners of companies and high level executives are burdened with the fact that they are responsible for the livelihoods of their employees. I have worked for several companies where I have personally seen a manager or owner stress to the point of depression when facing the task of laying off an employee.
Contrary to what people think, most managers are good people and have the back of their employees.
Just as there is an inverse relationship between the rate which someone claims they are smarter than others and their actual intelligence, there is a direct relationship between the rate of calling others bigots and the actual bigotry of the accuser.
I don't have Mac computers anymore. I do have an iPad.
I was a huge fan of the Mac. I still have a "Fat Mac" in my garage.
When they came out, I was intrigued. I wanted to see it, try it. Almost immediately I started getting shit about the IBM PC being better and how the Mac was a toy, etc. So pretty much I just got one to say Fuck You to those people.
It's been better than PCs, it's been worse than PCs. At this point, I own a 10 year old PC just because I wanted to play some PC games back then. Now, it is used merely for porn, web, email.
Computers are no longer these things that you get because they are special, expandable, supports this or that.
Computers are toasters. You turn them on, do what you need, then turn it off.
The only people caught up in this whole Mac vs PC shit are the manufacturers and Fan Boys. Everyone else just wants to be able to watch the latest celebrity sex tape.
You can advance the art of keeping people alive in deep space with a station around the moon, or on the moon, or in geosynchronous orbit. In fact, those would be great intermediate steps.
Someone should calculate the odds of success of reaching Mars alive, let alone getting back. I doubt you would accept those odds for a trip to Britain.
Shooting people to Mars in a tin can is a useless exercise.
It would not really advance space travel technology all that much, it's dangerous as hell, and we really wouldn't learn much more (if any more) than we know now.
In fact, I expect that the spectacle of people dying during the attempt would do more damage to the Space Program than you can imagine.
There is no fucking way some dude from a country where the majority of people are shitting outside, next to their water well is more qualified than anyone in America.
H-B1 is just so hypocritical assholes in the SJW Silicon Valley businesses can save money while they bitch and moan about men now being able to shower in the women's locker room.
They were doing that back in the 80's. Every fucking math teacher I had could barely fucking speak English. All I understood in calculus was DYDX, which was apparently the only fucking English the fucker knew.
Consider a request for a table interface with which to enter some data, enforce some rules, and print some reports.
Automated tools can build that in seconds. A few hours of tweaking and you're done.
Now write the Obamacare website. Wait. That site was entirely data driven and should have never been as convoluted or complicated as it was. Of course the developers were probably getting updated requirements every week right up to the roll out date. THAT is why software estimates are off by so much sometimes.
I know two people, the specific relationships are not anyone's business.
One tried to kill them self. The other experienced suicide idealization while in middle school.
Both are now on small does of Risperidone. The Psychiatrist stated that this was a result of a chemical malfunction in the brain. He further stated that the brain is an organ just like anything else. "Mental Illness" is an artificial moniker given to a set of conditions that physicians are just now beginning to fully understand. It is no different than any other medical condition.
And sure, you can develop medical conditions as the result of work conditions...lack of sleep and stress can give you high blood pressure which can lead to strokes, kidney failure, etc. Should Uber or any other company be held liable for that too?
With respect to depression, it can also be brought on by lack of sleep. Sleeping is a required function of the brain. You sleep for a reason...physiological reasons. That's why people with sleep disorder diseases can die without sleep.
If he was clinically depressed then it isn't Uber's fault at all.
Depression is an actual Medical condition driven by chemical imbalances in the brain. they might as well try to sue Uber for him contracting Kidney disease or something.

Industry experts are in fact, the brain surgeons with respect to the cost of regulations.
And in fact, the EPA DOES make value judgements about regulations.
...and infinitely fast computer would be self aware and wouldn't need instructions.
Thanks...but no thanks.
I'll register for the service I want, if I want, when I want.
I have separate IDs for ALL my online activity, all linked to a pseudonym email and only use PayPal filled with Gift Card cash.
I'm sure someone can track me if they tried hard enough, but at least I can make it difficult for them.

Fuck you asshole.
You may be a dipshit employee that every employer regrets hiring and can't wait for a reason to ditch, but most of the rest of us aren't.

Live streaming for individuals is probably a net detriment for society.
There are way too many tools that allow you to completely fuck up in life and broadcast it to the world.
Is that some form of bigotry?

From what I recall, it wasn't group think, it was Management Think/Political Think.
The "group" caved to pressure imposed from the top as opposed to the group pressuring for the action.
...ideas you think are bad aren't really bad?
If you can't kill a "bad idea", that suggest that there are people who believe it to be a "good idea".
This whole exercise presumes that he is the one in possession of the Truth and that all others are idiots.
H Fucking B1 should be eliminated.

Dear Facebook,
I'm going to start a Newspaper.
What paperwork do I fill out to become, "verified"?
Who do I need to bribe?
What government agency "verifies" news outlets?

Umm...you DO know the difference between Wealth and income...right?
...it doesn't seem like a smart thing to build an aircraft that can be tossed around by the wind like a party balloon.
