It there is a truck full of water, that means there is no water shortage, but rather a problem with water distribution network
The pipes needs to be maintained. One common problem when private companies are in charge is that they take the money to make profits and forget to maintain the network. Is that what happened in Mexico City?
Isaac Asimov's books are unlikely to mean anything to aliens, that will make the message quite hard to understand
We could start with what we know about mathematics, physics and chemistry, as there are good chances a remote intelligent life form worked on that concepts too.
The returns from the fund would be used to build a pot of money, to which working-age adults under-55 would apply to receive a grant in the coming decade.
In other words, the initiative will be dead on next financial crisis. Too bad, since this will be the time where such mechanism would help recovering.
AI itself does not scares me. AI in the hands of greedy capitalists is what frightens me.
Indeed they will do more with less: more sales, more profits, less workers, less income. And everything will collapse again in an overproduction crisis, with an exploding amount of poverty and inequalities.
An interesting point is fire resistance, which can be better for wood than for steel. When heated by a fire, steel bends and structure collapse. That does not happen for wood.
We'd have privacy by now but consumers wanted IPv4 rather than IPv6. We lost Mandatory IPSec across the Internet as a result.
Perhaps IPv6 complexity (like including IPsec) is what has restrained it back... For no real benefit, since IPsec is mandatory in implementation, but not in running configuration.
With a US$243.4 billion (as of 29 December 2017) market capitalization, Bitcoin weights 0.13% of US GDP. Is that a threat to the economy? We could talk about US student debt instead...
They seek duopoly on self-driving cars. The idea could look sane if it was a way to ensure all vehicles communicates with each others, and act with an determined behavior. But since there are still human-drove cars, that just looks like a duopoly on money stream.
We finally remember the word for "fake news"... Propaganda
The best propaganda is based on real news, and works by hiding other information.
For instance: "dictator X is evil, we must send our army to overthrow him", while in the same time, government support many other evil dictators, and bombs will mostly harm innocent people instead of dictator X.
I don't think the issue is removal, but sequestration. Eventually trees or other plants die and the carbon from the dead wood or plant matter must go somewhere.
Paper! We need to build huge paper archives and libraries. Or, more efficiently, we can turn it into coal, gas and oil that we would bury underground.

Europe's biggest court passed the right to be forgotten law in 2014
I know democracy does not exists in EU institutions, but courts do bot pass laws. EU Justice backed it.
And while we are there, it was not a law. National parliament vote laws. EU machinery produces directives and regulations.
If you want to write good code, do not think like a programmer. Do think like a hacker, and try to imagine how your code could go wrong.

It seems you would want OpenStreetMap's backend, but unfortunately it is not a simple to setup monolithic software.
How do they plan to prevent E. Coli to optimize out this useless DNA?
Perhaps we would find a better match with intestinal microbiom 's DNA. There have been numerous studies about how microbes in our gut affect weight.
Right, flying cars, but with or without a human driver?
Can someone reminds me why US did cast financial sanctions against Venezuela?
It may have to do with Obama's executive order calling Venezuela a US national security threat, but I am not sure I recall why it was a threat.
Annually more than a thousand billion U.S. dollars are lost for companies or countries due to these attacks
I wonder how they came to such a huge number. One thousand billion USD is the GDP of Mexico or Indonesia

News for nerds, indeed. But does it matter?
Indeed, Twin towers collapsed because steel frame bent after been heated by fire.
That explains why 7 WTC building only touched by fire also collapsed.

This is getting unusual: the New York Times paper is not obviously anti-russian.
This is a decision from a court of first instance. It will probably be overturned in apellate court.
This is government practicing speculation. Why not just buy stocks using taxpayer money?

I thought it was settled that you cannot defend against an attacker that loaded before your code, possibly with higher privileges.
Hence you have a hard time dealing with new threat, that you do not detect once, and that is there before you load an updated module.
people's data -- files, documents, social-media interactions -- will be broken into fragments, encrypted and scattered around other people's computers
Hey, this is almost Tahoe LAFS.
