Java tried to be this, and unfortunately came close enough to remove the incentive to improve but not quite good enough to really accomplish the goal.
Everything on the web is ultimately a crude hack on top of HTML, which is why there are new development and deployment frameworks constantly being created, because no-one has come up with something good.
Natural intelligence has selfish (and also co-operative) behaviours because animals with nervous systems have evolved these behaviours over hundreds of millions of years of natural selection.
We have no idea what kind of personality an artificial intelligence would have, but odds are it won't be much like a human one.
Software is more likely to kill us because it's less intelligent than we thought than because of malice.
And I would add that even the best-informed most experienced self-appointed experts will occasionally forget simple things like checking cables, rebooting every component with a separate power supply, remembering which password is which, etc.
They wouldn't blindly do something just because the Americans wanted them to. Remember, the British courageously stood up to the Americans and told them were wrong about invading Iraq.
If (1) inflation was caused by a volume of space with a particular energy density, and if (2) in the future a volume of space attained that same energy density, then it would undergo inflation.
It's confusing because you think it's going to be interesting and insightful but it's merely tautological.
It's been a long time since I've seen a 'feature' added that really was universally useful.
Sure, some people enjoy them, and maybe even find them occasionally practical, but it takes no more effort for the developers to make that kind of crap optional.

I've been saying this for twenty years.

First issue, x/0 mathematically is infinity, not zero.
Which infinity? There are many.
Not-a-number is at least a suitable return value, though not necessarily the best response.
Zero is simply incorrect.
weren't these exact activities what caused the USSR to bankrupt themselves
Lots of activities contributed to that.
Including the irony of having 18 million people employed in planning the economy and being extremely bad at it.
It's actually a Delphi clone.
Missing? How could we let that happen? Those were the *last* moon rocks!
But hey, Dice just LOVES their clickbait lately, don't they?
(I don't have anything to add, I just thought that was worth repeating.)

I suspect the infringement suit would have been settled differently.
The fear is not of a nuclear device in a satellite, it's a nuclear device on top of a big canister of rocket fuel that's going to be ignited.
That fear might be overblown, but you can't argue against a fear if you don't correctly identify it.
The better you are at any field, the more likely you are to use precise words.
The reverse, however, is not true. In fact, overuse of precise terminology is, ironically, likely a sign of ignorance.
The article is an example of one of those two cases.
if you didn't know enough to demand
You misspelled "politely ask".
The best solution is to pick
That's tricky with a monopoly or even oligopoly.

Most people don't bring their pets to medical examinations.
A home test might have some utility but it's not a proper sleep study.
How can they tell what direction a response comes from, with only one mic?
It came from the person sleeping.
The other problems, though, could be harder.
either we are in a black hole, or there is more to gravity.
Or both.
Or what we know about both black holes and gravity is wrong.
Multivac gave its answer a long time ago.
But, this is Slashdot, sometimes we get news that's old...
It was an excellent design - it achieved its intended purpose. They could have put a little more effort into the plausible deniability.
They wouldn't blindly do something just because the Americans wanted them to. Remember, the British courageously stood up to the Americans and told them were wrong about invading Iraq.
Wait a minute, that was France...
You can't affect change until you effect it.
I'm rapidly running of brands that I can trust. Slashdot will join the list as soon as I make the effort to find a replacement.

Put in a bit of cardboard and put the cap back.
Less unsightly and sooner or later you will hit the spot by accident.
