Except Christianity is criticized for controlling thoughts, while Facebook is being criticized for not doing enough though control.
Do we really want Facebook, or any other corporation, to "steer the thoughts and actions of the masses"?
Is it really Facebook's fault that too many people voted the "wrong way" in 2016? Who gets to decide which thoughts are "right"?
Personally, I prefer to not be steered.
To paraphrase, "Hive mind, Hive mind...what is hive mind?" Critical thinking has a cost, think for yourself. No one else can do it for you with impartiality.
Naah, willful planned obsolescence. Battery replacement isn't rocket science, and any gadget that does not allow replacement of the first most likely to fail component will have a short service life. Making a device with a tough to replace battery ? Thanks guys !
If you say lemmings slow enough, it sounds like gullible.
So much for "Hey, thanks. We'll get right on it and make the necessary changes." Everybody has time to do it fast, but nobody has the time to do it right the first time. I love deadlines, especially when they go whooshing by. It just goes to show, the time it takes to complete a project in a timely manner is hard to estimate, unless it is a repetitive task. Programming is not a repetitive task, hence the necessity for algorithms. Follow the algorithm, if the program does not work, then you did not follow it or the algorithm is wrong. Back to square one.
Cable companies: "We need to government to protect us from our theiving customers." Also cable companies: "But government regulation is bad! We must end net neutrality!"
Voila! No net neutrality. The easiest way to cancel a cable service is to stop paying them, now go outside and play.
Agreed. I was thinking the same thing. Point a camera through the lens and show us what it looks like through the glasses, not a rendered-image slideshow.
The true mixed-reality is that politicians are here to serve the taxed. That is, the magic leap.
Don't worry. Those tax cuts coming down the pipe will trickle down to the workers in the form of higher wages.
First of all, no they won't. Secondly, the hive-mind smartphone addicts can't peel their faces off long enough to grasp reality for what it is. When the power goes out there will be plenty of millennials looking to older people to show them how to start a fire, drive a stick shift, hunt for food. Nah. Facebook, Instagram and the other mind numbing entertainment sites will take care of them. Nah. The power is with the people, all it takes is one finger to push the off button and go outside and relate to the environment. Nah. Reality is harsh. I worked with computing systems since the 70's, they do many fancy things, however, ingenuity derives from the necessary interaction with the real environment.
A single shot, or treatment. If it goes thru the bloodstream seeking copies of a gene wouldn't it find those genes in the testes/ovaries?

Yeah just like the politicians "fixed" the debt issue. First it will go through the pharmacies ( big money ), then it will have to go through the FDA, (bigger money) and then, when it gets so expensive, the politicians will get involved ( obscene money). The real question is will Medicare/aid cover the expense?
Joking about being a shill removes all pretenses of neutrality. Given that nature of government in the news and in the congressional hearings definitely shows a true lack of partiality. We are not amused.
Your brain is 'plastic' - it alters in response to use. It strengthens and prunes connections over time. Bits of it can atrophy.
So yes, if you habitually perform some task, it's going to show up as a change in sufficiently accurate before and after fMRIs. This isn't news, it's been studied before.
If an auto-driving auto gets into an accident, whose insurance covers the cost? What if you are drunk? What if you are pulled over for a sobriety check? I do not believe these questions as well as many others, have been addressed. Can you be charged with a DUI in a self-driving vehicle? An auto manufacturer pushing for more cars with questionable record of autonomy is no better than a pharmaceutical company pushing questionable drugs through the rubber-stamping FDA, yes, yes I know there are people who will consider this flame bait, however Celebrex comes to mind. I am sure there are other instances as well. The business of a company is to make money, but autonomy of vehicles has a long way to go. Having people unknowingly place themselves at risk for a buck does not make sense.
I can imagine the the napkin that was used to write down the initial idea...."need a way for people to publish ill considered thoughts and get themselves fired or otherwise ostracized. And do in in less than 140 characters. "
Social media? Do you mean media used by society? Tv's, newspapers, magazines, advertisements, comics, banners, protest placards, radio, music, and I can imagine. Albert Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge.
Government: govern - to control, ment - the mind. Imagine that.
Trust, and you will be trusted; said the liar to the fool. Let's look at this another way. Identify yourself so that we, the faceless we, can know you are not a robot, or better yet, a living entity. The Supreme Court declared corporations are entities. Yet they have no "face". How does one reconcile the discrepancy? 1984 is a warning, not a blueprint. There are way too many faceless entities out there such as the CIA, NSA, FBI, and a host of others, the Cosa Nostra, Mossad, ISIS, the Federal Reserve, the Black Nobility of Europe, the illuminati; yes, there are figureheads, however the rank and file members remain in the shadows. Also what stops the faceless from using a false face, like your photo image? I cannot imagine where a photo could be acquired. Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, any television or closed circuit feed. Smartphones, cameras, official identity pictures. Do you get the "picture"?
It's more likely an AI in the background performing metrics for the FEMA camps. A little paranoia is good, a lot of paranoia is governmental emphasis on the mental. Once again, human stupidity will outshine any AI.

You still think you have two distinct parties in the US?
Cute.
Yes, we do; bought dog multimillionaires and one or two term politicians who do not get very far, unless of course they are very good at their jobs.

I wonder if the Echo product page should say: Sold by the NSA, Fulfilled by Amazon
I am smarter than my phone, I program with Hollerith cards and I use 14.4 kbs dial up modem; do I need to worry?

If your company is an "at will" workplace, then the time to clear your personal effects is sufficient.

No we haven't. That's a ridiculous statement.
And Fukushima is a conspiracy theory. Just like Three mile island and Chernobyl.

If it is such a non-issue, why would they bother reversing such a law? And why do big ISP put money into bribing (lobbying) for such a change?
Now we wait for the other shoe to drop.

In Europe it's called the Opel Ampera-e. Same car.
Yet, this is a country that sells Mercedes Maybachs for how much?

Come on EMP! The great technical equalizer.
If the zombies don't get run over wandering to the cinema then it will be a big box office hit!
How about "Smartphone Madness "? No matter how you look at it, the service providers will still bleed you dry with their monthly fees.

This is how they will spread the biological kill switch to us all. Telling us its for our own protection.
No, it's to protect the children. Besides, if it doesn't happen, the terrorists win.
Overbearing surveillance in the guise of convenience, hmmm.
Doesn't surprise me. Nor does getting called a Russian Nazi shill for pointing it out.
Keep "bait and switch" where it belongs, in the hands of car dealerships and politicians.
Does the headline refer to Google or to Facebook?
