When I give this argument to my supervisor, he'll make sure I got tonnes of more burdensome stuff to do. But as any parent would also tell you: 'Shut up and get to work ya lazy bum!'.
"People are making the world more unequal; Only people can fix this". Technology is inherently neutral. It's the person or people that wield it that give it colour.
I think you should at least give a few episodes a watch and decide afterwards. Plot, writing and storytelling are entirely different things then CBS's business decisions. The latter where most complaints stem from.
Another Republican idea. And still there are common people that firmly believe that the GOP is there for them. That is some cognitive dissonance of biblical proportions.
Dear GOP, let's not think about your own wallets and who fills them for awhile and when you do, please follow this maxim for a bit: "Does this idea really benefit the every man?" or "Has my idea the potential to increase the risk of corruption on a big scale?".
On demand availability and no unnecessary junk. Of course this would turn everyone to Netflix and similar services. What I find interesting is that traditional media execs. didn't try and stop it or massively slow the pace of aforementioned services as their industry will die off in the long run (remember that the industry didn't want to put their music up on Spotify due to not making enough revenue, or that they tried to make the.mp3 format illegal in the olden days?) Maybe I missed it or I jinxed it. Either way, good to see progress happening.
What was the security warning about? And what was required of me? To me this is kind of the important part in combination with this: "when security messages interrupted a task". As I have learned from my parents, you don't go haphazardly interrupting people with some kind of nonsense. If you do, you can expect to be ignored or be told off. If a security warning is about to inform me that a scheduled scan will start in an hour, or a patch will be downloaded. I'll ignore it. It doesn't require my attention at this time and I was busy with something. It interrupted me with nonsense so it's annoying me and I clicked it away. Another point of contention is if the message requires me to do something like restarting the system. If I'm in the process of doing something that needs up time (be it from watching a video, to copying files), I will complete that task first. Task prioritization is key here and interrupting me is again, annoying. Even if it does want me to do something.
So yeah, I get where these figures come from. Not at all astounding to me.
Memorizing a list of properties by number is just as hard as memorizing a list of properties by name. I'd say we have to make the names descriptive of an elements property. E.g. Gold would be: 'YellowyExpensium', Oxygen: 'BreathGasium' or what about 'FunnyVoicium' for Helium?:D
I don't really understand why your score is 0 (at the time I looked) as I think that you are absolutely right. Where I live, it has shown in multiple studies that the surrounding really has a great impact on the behavior of motorists. To these nay-sayers I say: According to your logic, a totalitarian police state would make a perfectly safe society.
It all boils down to traffic psychology. A big portion of car drivers automatically want to up the speed when they are on a broad (and empty) road. I even want to go as far to say that some (local) governments deliberately create such roads while keeping the max. allowed speed limit low and fill the road with speed camera's. Not because of safety, but to milk the road as a cash cow. This is called 'enticement'.
To resolve these questions and keep it fair and safe for everyone, the traffic psychology should be addressed. By changing the infrastructure in such away to demotivate speeding or other reckless behavior by affecting traffic psychology. Of course, the few people that are still traffic hazards should also be fined. So the policing of the roads still remain. But adjusting the way a road is designed can help a lot.
What I meant was 3D scanning and printing technologies for quick modeling and prototyping of various objects. Not in the fashion of how we model stuff since the prehistory. Thats for old people.;-)
Yes, I have seen Star Trek. I know of the replicator. Our 3D printing tech is kind of like the primitive form of a replicator.
No one mentioned 3D copying? I mean, I predict that 3D scanning and printing will be a normal thing in 50 years. Everyone copies! Everyone replicates! The economy would look a bit different. We either have copyright laws that strangle society or we abolish copyright laws to the fullest.

The problems outlined in the opinion piece is to me only evidence that governments, economy isn't build on massive information disclosure and the changes in society it brings. Instead of repealing the Internet as it is, I think it's more effective for said governments and economies to evolve and reform to cope with the changes in our daily lives because of the Internet (let's start with freedom of information in the form of fixing the defective patent system by altering default business models of old businesses and transparency within government).
Repealing or shutting down the Internet would be progress suicide in anyway.
So if CPT is the true symmetry of the universe, then doesn't that solve the matter/antimatter problem (the problem that we observe more matter then antimatter)?
Say that the Big bang didn't create 'just' our universe, but a second that is a complete CPT reversal from ours. That universe would have the same kind of physics but with the arrow of time reversed relative to ours and would consist primarily of antimatter with minute quantities of matter. And 'left' probably being our universe equivalent of 'right'.
To my understanding this would be the true symmetry of our universe then. There is not 1 (ours) but 2.
Aah the good old Start button. Why did I stop using it? Oh yeah! Because since Windows Vista the way the Start menu, and in specifically the 'All programs' feature works, is completely messed up.
Way to go Microsoft! I always was fond of the Start Menu workings of Windows XP. A real shame I can't replicate the behavior since the Vista era without 3rd party tools. Without these tools, I don't use it either. It becomes a cluttered mess when you have more then 10 programs installed and 'All programs' LIST it underneath each other.
I prefer to have the listing of my programs spread out so I have a general overview of all my installed applications so I am able to find the application I need quickly. Why is that forbidden and taboo in the Microsoft world?
I love to agree with you but there is one little detail:
Without demand, there will not be jobs. No jobs, there is no demand.
It's a vicious cycle.
That said, space exploration might create a ton of jobs in all fields but since this is not a guarantee and in the short term cost a lot of money, governments rather invest in waging war due to the short term money it produces for them (oil etc.).
Politicians are only concerned with their terms as politicians. When they made the money, they leave and another one fills the spot with their own agenda. I get this feeling that the politician as public servant doesn't really exist anymore.
In the last few decades, were there any politicians of importance in the western world with a longterm vision? Please name them so they can duly be credited.
If with 'long trip' Alaska is also included, then you could visit HAARP.:) Might be interesting to see what all the 'new age' fuss is about in a scientific perspective.:p

Earth needs a tailpipe.

There should ALWAYS be a Cowboy Neal option in there.
So earlier today we got a Japanese AI that almost won a literary price and now we have a Microsoft AI spewing profanity while admiring Hitler.
AI are just like people. The future is now.

I'm still down with Kenja's idea with the monkeys.

'An overtly negative or critical connotation.'
Yeah imagine people being critical.
Even worse: People being critical with a frown on their face!
