Yep, I've mentioned this before on slashdot comments.
The people are gonna rise up way before the machines do.
I'm actually quoting what Andrew McAfee said in a talk about automation and jobs. And indirectly the book he's a co-author off: the second machine age.
Probably one of the most important things to change is education. If certain types of jobs disappear you'd want people to have had the education to adopt and do the jobs that haven't been done yet or before. That way we'll grow the economy and all benefit from it. This is how we dealt with the 'first machine age', the industrial revolution.
And we might start to think about something like 'negative income tax', just in case we need it, maybe we just need it to help us through a transition. An old concept which Nixon almost got through congress. It gives people some money if they really need it and rewards people when they put in more effort.
"we like our goverments to treat us like babies who can't enter in to an agreement with a business"
Let's be clear:
This court case is, among other things, about the like- and connect-buttons Facebook uses to track people on other websites on the web even if they have NO agreement with this company.
If I understand correctly: - "In the future Skype for Web will utilize WebRTC so that you don’t need to install any plugins to get it working — meaning you only need to allow the site permission to use your webcam and microphone and you’re good to go, but for now a plugin is required to make calls." - what we do know about Skype: any calls you make with Skype go through servers, it's not a peer2peer solution anymore: http://arstechnica.com/busines... My guess is one of the positive reasons is: they want to analyze the audio to increase their understanding of language and translation.
WebRTC protocols supports end-to-end peer 2 peer encryption, but it doesn't mean an application has to use it.
Yes, I'm sure the DARPA challenge is hard work, but I was much more impressed by how well they were able to apply deep learning for use with robots: http://newscenter.berkeley.edu...
The fastest robot on the DARPA challenge took 45 minutes, look at how fast the robot is in the above video. It's much more close to how a human would do it.
5 years ago from the same lab they took hours to do things and they were still using very little machine learning in comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And more importantly how close they are to using demonstrations (how about YouTube videos or from other people or robots doing similar tasks) to get robots to learn faster and many more tasks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

What design ?
Really, Javascript was created in 10 days by 1 man without talking to anybody else.
He had been thinking about how to go about creating a programming language so he had a lot of ideas, but Netscape wanted him to create a different kind of language so basically in 10 days he did what he was asked to do but included some the ideas he had about creating a language inspired by Scheme- and Self.
"The European governments are laughing as Greece falls over the edge."
Not really: The fair with European leaders is that if Greece needs to do something like leaving the Euro or something else drastic this could pave the way for other countries like Spain, Italy and Ireland. Supposedly this could harm the Euro.
Rationally I would think if Greece leaves the Euro this would be good for the Euro and for Greece. But markets like stock, currency or gold market really aren't rational.
The problem is that if Italy would leave the Euro, supposedly this would be bad because it's economy is much larger.
I would fear human-level intelligent general-AI with stupid goals more.
But on the short-term I fear humans the most.
The predictions about how radical the job market is going to change and how the gap between the rich and the poor is widening could lead to the humans rising up much much earlier than the machines would.
One thing I wonder about is: will machine learning systems being to transmit their experiences over the Internet to have other machine learning systems learn from that.
They can't now, but how long will until they can ?
An other is: can they take snapshots of what one system learned and transmit that to an other ?
You remember how they learned new skills in the Matrix ?
People just fix the things that have been reported, they don't actually look at what they mean. Because most people don't really know what all the crypto really means.
If you read on WIkipedia it says it wouldn't be impossible:
"In December 2013 computer scientists Michael Hanspach and Michael Goetz released a paper to the Journal of Communication demonstrating the possibility of an acoustic mesh networking at a slow 20 bits per second using a set of speakers and microphones for ultrasonic communication in a fashion similar to BadBIOS's described abilities."
So, I think what they are saying is: split traffic at the ISP-router and sent latency sensitive traffic over the microwave link.
They say the investment is: "At a $100,000 installation cost per tower, this network would cost $253 million, with a $96 million per year operating cost. Amortized over 5 years, the yearly cost would be $147 million."
If you build it, providers will buy it ?
I wonder how useful that will be as the world has already started deploying all the new technologies: CoDel (which fixes bufferbloat), fiber-to-the-home and HTTP/2 and QUIC (which supports network coding to fix packet loss. Especially useful for wireless devices).
Greece and Germany 2 very different countries shouldn't have been part of the same monetary and economic policy system, in this case the Euro.
When Greece wanted to join they had to much debt to be allowed to join by the EU-rules.
So far so good. Nothing bad happened.
Now there is this company in the US called Goldman Sachs which was willing to take on this debt for a number of years in return for a hefty payment.
Greece accepted that offer, which if they really understood the terms and consequences of the agreement they probably would have never done so.
If I remember correct they for example had the interest rate pegged on an index inverse to the GDP of Greece or other similar variable connected to the economy of Greece.
Now after that deal Greece didn't have that large of a debt any more and was able to join the EU.
The terms of the Goldman Sachs agreement said they would need to pay it back after 10 years or whatever but after at that point Greece would not only get their debt back but also a new debt with Goldman Sachs. Obviously Greece couldn't pay that. They probably paid the at least part of the Goldman Sachs debt by getting loans from others. Because the interest of the Goldman Sachs loans was very high especially after the financial crisis.
So Goldman Sachs made a lot of money and had very little risk as the EU would have a big stake in Greece not failing and if the economy of Greece was doing awesome Goldman Sacks would also get paid.
Now Germany and a lot of other EU countries want to put as much of the burden of this problem with Greece, as much as Greece can bear.
Basically about trying to find the right balance: The people in Greece say: we are suffering enough, our economy is shit and things will get really bad and recovery will take decades. Germany and other EU countries are saying: you can bear some more of the burden.
However Germany and others are not interested in seeing Greece leave, that would be bad for the Euro.
So the Greece government had some leverage there to force the other EU countries to help them.
As I mentioned at the start, Germany and Greece shouldn't have been in the same monetary system, if they were not Greece would have been able to go bankrupt and just take their losses. They would have recovered much faster from that then being stuck as they are.

The question is:
are they concerned about backdoors and such or are they just concerned about getting a better licensing deal ?

"Matrix style learning is a lot more difficult, because it has to be integrated in what the person already knows."
This is exactly why I worded it that way. ;-)
Actually found a talk by the people working on this project, here he talks about where/how to get data:

One thing I wonder about is: will machine learning systems being to transmit their experiences over the Internet to have other machine learning systems learn from that.

Just watched part of the documentary from early 2012, I didn't remember correctly, but the consequences are the same, probably worse.
You should look at it an other way:
