Perhaps he's just thinking on a longer time scale than most people. Odds are that eventually AI _will_ be a real problem. If you doubt that then look at humanity's history of creating ever more powerful weapons. It doesn't have to be a Terminator to destroy us.

Sorry, I don't work for Mozilla but I do know that a proper software complaint should include some specifics like what version you're using, on what hardware, what site(s) you see this problem. If all you're going to do is whine without providing any evidence then you're just trolling as far as I'm concerned.
Yep, mod this person up. The constant pressure of surveillance, over-monetization, deforestation, global warming, geopolitical unrest, high population, pollution, animal exploitation... Looking at the world is like looking through a crystal: it changes depending on what angle you view it from. View it from the wrong angle and it seems hopelessly pointless. Frankly it's easier to cope by plugging one's ears and go "la-la-la" to most of it and just try and get by with a few laughs and close friends/family.
I don't have to spend any gas, spend less time, and don't have to deal with people exercising their primate brains elbowing each other just to save a few dollars. Just look at the black friday crowd videos on Youtube. You'd think the apocalypse had just been announced.
Maybe people should not pay a game developer any more than the $40-60 they paid when they thought they "bought" the game in the first place.
As long as the game I paid for has a lot of content included, I don't mind paying more later for additional maps.
But the gambling/loot box thing is annoying. I know people who spend hundreds of dollars just to try and level their hockey or soccer team, one of whom is thinking of just walking away from the franchise as every year there's a new update which basically obsoletes all the effort and money they poured in.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
On the other hand, if my credit card gets stolen then it's insured against loss. I don't pay a nickel. How are crypto currencies ever going to provide a similar safeguard without centralization of some sort?
Thanks. I recall seeing that option but wrongly, I guess, assumed "Refresh Firefox" was just a euphemism for "Reset my Profile" which would have ended in data loss. I attribute that to my distrust of modern software which often seems to have little regard for my data.
A coworker tried upgrading their Firefox and it (as expected) broke a number of addons, but even worse it pegged the CPU. Firefox profile related problems have been a bane for many years - "reset your browser" they say. Sure, and lose all history? Not palatable for many people.
The summary mentions AI several times but that terminology isn't mentioned at all in the research paper abstract.
"CheXNet: Radiologist-Level Pneumonia Detection on Chest X-Rays with Deep Learning
We develop an algorithm that can detect pneumonia from chest X-rays at a level exceeding practicing radiologists. Our algorithm, CheXNet, is a 121-layer convolutional neural network trained on ChestX-ray14, currently the largest publicly available chest X-ray dataset, containing over 100,000 frontal-view X-ray images with 14 diseases. Four practicing academic radiologists annotate a test set, on which we compare the performance of CheXNet to that of radiologists. We find that CheXNet exceeds average radiologist performance on pneumonia detection on both sensitivity and specificity. We extend CheXNet to detect all 14 diseases in ChestX-ray14 and achieve state of the art results on all 14 diseases. "
> like insects, babies operate on fairly simple rules
Do insects have emotional intelligence? Can they learn rapidly? Can they recognize faces? I think if I was immobile, couldn't talk, and didn't have good control of my muscles I'd probably do what a baby does to get attention, feeding, etc. I wouldn't discount the intelligence of babies so harshly - not without some research to back it up.
I don't think I would be happy with the missing physical escape key. Years of wiring my brain that the Esc key is the top-left key, it's part of what I use to orient myself on the keyboard without looking. And yes, as you say it's a very important key in Vim. I know I wouldn't be happy remapping Esc to something else - I might as well switch to Dvorak mode while I'm at it. And wow, no function keys on the 2016 MBP! Very presumptive on Apple's part - who knows what workflows people have mapped to their function keys. This lack of consideration is part of why I won't buy a new Macbook Pro. Somebody has really lost the plot at Apple.
Is the ever-increasing proof-of-work requirement inherent with virtual currency (or even blockchain in general), or is there a more efficient way to make it work?
Exactly. My son already has a Mac but I want to move away from MacOS. When his computer dies or becomes obsolete, my hope was to get him onto Linux. But the sticking point right now is lack of Roblox support.
Case in point: I wanted to replace my kid's laptop with Linux and tried to get Roblox running under Wine. At one time it was supported but apparently now it's broken due to some anti-debugging/anti-cheat restriction. Roblox a "killer app" for a lot of kids, so lack of support means it's a no-go. And I won't ever go back to Windows.
Tried making a hackintosh just to see if I could do it, but getting it working properly on a laptop is quite a challenge (you can't swap components out with more compatible components) and I didn't have much success.

Yes and if only there was a way they could track you with a mobile app at the same time. Oh wait.

Why don't you quit trolling this story, AC.
Yep, I did the same. It's clear as day what their game is and I'm not playing.
According to https://www.whats-on-netflix.c..., there are currently 122 titles on Netflix in 4K.
Interesting site. I hope they aren't also tracking. Here's the list of applications they have reports for: https://reports.exodus-privacy...

You found a browser that doesn't send data to a 3rd party? Please, do tell, what browser are you using?

Spam never went away, it just moved: consider the many fraudulent advertisements scatted throughout the web. Same desired outcome, different medium.

You think average users magically know proprietary software and proprietary operating systems? Just enough to get by, many not even that.
By popular demand - Black Friday held over for another week! Give me a break.

You're not a map maker, apparently.

That's amazing. I've heard of people waiting up to 11 hours in the hospital emergency where I live in Canada.
