It only looks, smells and tastes like Linux until you find that your app doesn't run on Linux in production because you did your development on "Linux" on Windows.
Microsoft has an incentive to make this happen in the future so that people in crisis mode will throw up their hands and just switch to Microsoft-Linux, and then maybe get rid of Linux altogether.
Microsoft tried to do the same with Java. Introduce sweet addictive delicious Microsoft-only APIs into Java, hoping lazy developers wouldn't notice that these APIs are only on Microsoft's Java. This was in directly violation of the black-letter language of the written contract. Sun sued. Won $1.2 Billion. Microsoft abandoned Java and created.NET because the Java story was just too compelling. Here we are today where Java popularity (on various sites like TIOBE) exceeds.NET popularity.
Too bad nobody will ensure the "purity" of Linux. And who says Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is dead?
If the goal is to get people to stop seeing Ads for junk food, then when they board the subway, have someone who hands each person some junk food they can eat to keep them distracted from the ads you don't want them to see.
Simple solution. Now there is no need to bank junk food ads. Nobody would watch them. Everyone too distracted with the junk food they're eating.
Um, excuse me, but Soylent Green was intended as food for humans to eat.
There won't be any Soylent Green because the AI will use humans for its fuel. Humans are too valuable as fuel to be wasted as food for other pesky, inefficient, humans unable to perform even a single useful service that cannot be performed by AIs.
And yes, this will include even the rich upper class snobs who think that they are safe, because they avoided the first two die-off waves after AI.
Usually not with the surprise of a gun.
I would challenge that a car can kill people faster, unless it is in a crowd of people with nowhere to get out of the way.
People usually have some possibility of being able to get out of the way of a car.
Car attacks are unlikely inside of a secured building such as YouTube.
Also unlikely inside a school or workplace.
A car attack is very different than a concealed gun attack in an enclosed area, or a sniper attack such as in Las Vegas.
Depending upon how effectively they can get out of the way, or jump onto the car, people might have a significant chance of of escaping with only injuries.
The weapons you mention can not kill as many people as quickly and easily.
While crazy people might kill people using various means, guns enables them to kill a lot more of them, more quickly, while making it much more difficult for law enforcement to respond.
A crazy person armed with knives can probably be taken down by several able bodied people that don't have any weapons other than ordinary objects. Chairs. Pillows / matresses. I'll leave it to your imagination.
* Cheap (especially in volume, wholesale prices negotiated between school district and selected manufacturer)
* Choice of manufacturer, price, features, size, memory, storage, cpu, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: style, color
* Fairly durable
* Can be managed in fleets. (eg, school maintains complete control of device)
* Verified boot via TPM helps ensure that software, updates and management of device can be trusted
* Device can be remote-wiped if lost, stolen, or eaten.
* Since devices are cloud based, all lessons, etc are on school's server, and thus replacing a child's broken, stolen, lost or eaten chromebook is very easy without disruptification.
* Chromebooks CAN now run Android apps, including the Play store.
* Of course, district can control ability to install additional apps. (Including the Play store for Android)
No wonder Chromebooks are so popular in this setting.
Humans have an important role in being casino dealers. Sex appeal. Are you going to the table with the automated dealer, or the table with the hot guy?
Now consider the role of machine learning. With or without a human dealer, machines might learn to recognize certain subtle human reactions that indicate things. Like when the sucker is about to give up and leave the table. What responses by the dealer are statistically more likely to keep him at the table losing more of his mortgage payment money.
Maybe machines can learn to recognize when players are more or less likely to be manipulated to gamble more. (eg, more susceptible to gamblers fallacy. (google it)
I must disagree in the strongest terms. The lawyers are certainly smarter than at least one of the sons.
Of course, they can work out exactly who and which one during their club fed stay.
As Trump himself said: when you're putting suspects into the police car, don't be too nice! It's okay to bang their head against the roof of the car. Ooops!
I was thinking it could be related to the clampdown on pro-gun videos.
Gun nuts upset about pro-gun video clampdown.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. And the only solution to any problem is violence (sort of like the solution to XML is to use more XML). Therefore . . .

Not buying Google Home. I'm holding out for a Facebook smart speaker. Not only will it be able to control your bluetooth speakers, it will be able to control your mind, and elections / erections. There may still be brainless idiots, but lack of a brain is not an impediment to Facebook controlling them. Think 21st century Facebook zombots.

Snowflakes need Safe Spaces regardless of whether it is one or two.

This is a HUGE opportunity to sell clean air to the 95%.
I always thought he was. But there are a lot of special snowflake mods who cannot abide any slight criticism of the dear leader.

For a second there I thought you were describing the president.
I hope they can find this lost planet and return it to its rightful owners.
Anyone who has lost a planet within the past 4 billion years should please contact lost and found, and provide a description of the missing planet.

They may not be very skilled at it. Despite thinking that they are 1% special.

So the show will only be compatible with Apple's walled garden*.
So, while it sounds interesting, I'm not interested.
* walled garden is interchangeable with prison camp
