In most countries like Lagos normal Taxi rate depends if you are local, know language, foreigner, or from USA. I recall a a case where Taxi driver took me for a ride in my home town (in US). Going from an airport, he assumed I was a tourist, so he got of the highway drove a mile, made 4 right turns to get back on the same highway. At least Uber can adjust app and control drives better.
In current state pattern recognition algorithm needs human (intelligence) to prepare training data (which includes labeling objects) then human needs to tweak classification parameters (dimensions, stepping functions) to optimize the result. "AI" is not capable of "acquiring and applying knowledge" - it is us humans.
Every tool we created can be used to save lives or kill us. Pattern recognition (so called AI) can be used to save people (cancer detection, autonomous cars, etc). As a society we can decide how to use it. Note that at the same time society elects emotionally driven people who have access to a nuclear button...
Focus on profit is a great strategy for the short term. Long term they will fail the same way they did last time. Macs had the same situation no. 1 in profit and they dropped to single digit market. They are going the same direction - exclusive and expensive toy that few people care. Biggest problem is they no longer have Steve that kept design, ascetics, and product choices simple - that made their products cool, sexy and desirable. No you have 5 different phone versions available in multiple color version.
They had a vision way back when they did first PCs. They got greedy and became niche player. They had whole market with iPhone to grab. They preferred to stay greedy and milk customers. Now they are becoming niche player again. If you didn't follow news Apple is expected to drop to the 3rd place in phone sales.
These are no longer $50 phones, they sell for $1000. If local automotive shop can make money while investing in way more expensive tools and owning or renting facility then a person in home can fix a phone. I know a bunch of guys they own these tools already as a hobby.
What is stopping Google from operating as a library? For each city have a pool of ebooks that users can borrow for a week.
They could have books that you can borrow for 1 min for search purposes. It should be cheaper that publicly funded libraries.
blame one person for no security. Company with that data should assume their webserver will get hacked and act accordingly by implementing multiple layers of security. Web server should have been in DMZ with limited view to data (and no access to sensitive data). That is 101 security. $225m/3y where did that go? To an audit that showed nothing?
You hire a security firm and at the same time you don't bother to update critical security issue with the software?
Did they have an audit or did they just pay $$ for a PCI compliance sticker?
How did the audit go - how come it not revealed issues with too much data being accessible from public subnet?
just too many questions....
A company that holds that much information should have top notch security. That includes penetration testing, penetration detection and multiple layers. Public layer should never have access to database that has that much information. There should be an internal webservice that returns filtered information information. This is 101 security!

let me guess $27.1 million on legal fees, $0.1 on investigation and $0.1 on security improvements?
Like that will lower the spam sent.... That sounds more like distributed email DoS.

There is no "I"ntelligence in AI it is pattern recognition and great algorithms. Google "robo soccer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

now I have to replace all my door slider locks.
not sure if you grasped the concept of burning;) it releases heat and CO2.

I hope there is a Marvin or at least TARS with humor set at ninety-five percent mode.

sounds like GM sponsored article. At least it is made in USA!
It sounds like files are distributed across all software equally - so each government agency can get their own copy?
"they jack directly into computers" - I guess Apple is going to sell another dongle for headphones.

skip natural gas go directly to electric cattle!
kudos to Maciej Ceglowski for chasing clickbait and drama media outlets!

how about whois + dns - oh wait we already have it

that sounds about right...
