I take it you prefer pump braking to ABS, then. Automation is not magic, completely self-driving vehicles are not going to appear from nothing in a day. Instead, manufacturers keep automating the mundane parts of driving, letting the human focus on the parts that actually need his attention.
First, Vivaldi is just a skin on top of Chrome's engine, not a browser of its own right. They did manage to replicate some of Opera's unique features, just not the ones that count. I don't use Opera because I like to write notes on webpages or use sidepanels, I use Opera because it allowes me to set script/plugin/cookie/ad blocking on a per-site basis without the need of a dozen bloated extensions written in shitty JS. Vivaldi, on the other hand, is an entire browser written in shitty JS, and it shows. It's buggy and unresponsive, and while some of it may be due to being "early access" software (they did fix the close button for example), I suspect most of the problems are architectural. Now there are some nice features like keybindings, the costumiseable UI and they even managed to get tab stacking sort of working now. But at the end of the day Vivaldi is not what Opera used to be. (written on Opera 12.17)
They do some haggling, starting from a low price and cranking it up until somebody sells to them (and vice versa when buying). They also sometimes create randomized price spikes intended to throw other bots off. Not sure if these fit your definition of "lying" (I admit it's a fuzzy one), but it fits mine.
There used to be a lot of confusion about how the carbon cycle works but I hoped that we're over that now. In short, plants use up only as much carbon as they need to grow, the rest just goes through them. This installation will never become carbon negative.
It might help with air pollution, but for $25000 apiece planting 275 trees may still be more economical.
Unions work best in industries dominated by an oligopoly of only a handful of corporations. Generally, the workers of each company will have their own union, which will then ally themselves with each other. In a market with many small or medium sized players unions don't tend to be very powerful. Which is not really a problem, as in that case workers have many options which forces employers to compete for workforce, making unions unnecessary.
It's always easy to automate most of a problem, but edge cases tend to be really hard to solve. Yes, the autopilot can fly the plane 99.9% of the time, but the pilots are there for the 0.1% when it can't.
If that was true, the police could just buy the dataset without any need for legislation. But user data is too valuable for tech companies to directly sell it. Instead, they sell all sorts services built on top of the data. For example, you can post an ad on Google or Facebook that only working class middle aged red-haired women with breast cancer and a passion for model railways can see, but you won't know who those people actually are.
No matter who owns Twitter, they still need a reliable revenue stream to keep the lights on. Getting users to buy shares will only make them lose money if the company goes the way of Yahoo.
Bill Gates is right that current tax systems incentivise companies to hire as few workers as possible. But I believe the solution is not a "robot tax", because it's not easy to define what a robot is, how much money it "makes", and automation may not even come in the form of robots. I think the best solution would be to abandon the income tax altogether, relying instead on corporate and sales taxation.
I didn't want to mention it, but yeah if you have your machine connected to the net you can cheat as much as you want. A big enough group of skilled players in a room could easily beat even the world champion. Now I don't think AlphaGo cheated, but it can't be ruled out.
And I guess we have to take Google's word that while the bot runs on their cloud, it's only using one machine on it. If that's true, why didn't they use that one machine for the competition? Seeing how much Google has been overstating the capabilities of its self-driving cars, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some very unusual definitions of "single machine" and "running".
Yes, that would be very interesting. Deep Blue may have been a supercomputer, but it was still a human-scale machine. AlphaGo, on the other hand, runs on Google's immense computational cloud, which makes it a lot less impressive.
Now that HTML5 is finally finished, what the web is is defined very clearly by the W3C standards. Sure, you can replace those with your own proprietary tech, but then don't call it 'web'.
While the chain of slanderous articles attacking Uber was definitely suspicious, they did manage to dig up some actual dirt. At which point it doesn't matter who is orchestrating the thing, Uber was caught doing naughty stuff and they are getting some well deserved hate for it.
There is nothing "usual" in this. Windows telemetry is already the largest surveillance operation in the world, handing the keys over to the Chinese government will give them some very scary probing capabilities.

I'm not worried about it, by that point humanity will have already collapsed due to the Y2K36 NTP rollover.

Security may not be relevant from a "business perspective", but that doesn't make it any less important.

Don't HFT bots already do something similar?
But this "AI" is no smarter than already existing methods based on word statistics, so what's the point?

So they just randomized the colors on preexisting patterns? Not particularly impressive.

The RC crowd can be quite crazy when it comes to size, there are even 1:1 scale models.

Well here was your chance to report on those drawbacks, shame you didn't take it.

As absurd as it sounds, this might create a market for new laptop-for-hire businesses.

I *HATE* the term AI, deep learning or anything else, because those things that claim to be that categorically are not.
So what term should we use for a bot that plays Go?
And I guess we have to take Google's word that while the bot runs on their cloud, it's only using one machine on it. If that's true, why didn't they use that one machine for the competition? Seeing how much Google has been overstating the capabilities of its self-driving cars, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some very unusual definitions of "single machine" and "running".
Source? According to this article, the machine is still connected to the Google cloud.
