Once the (by then unemployed) ex-customers cannot afford to buy stuff online anymore, they will be re-hired by Amazon to slave away distributing products to the (by then ruling class of) robots, who'll enjoy being serviced by the puny carbon units.
I would assume their AI had to play numerous games against increasingly strong online players before those top players were offered as opponents by the online service.
... but now that he's elected, the guy they hired to act as their "candidate face" - based on AI-authored tweets and speeches - refuses to drop out of his role and will actually rule the US. Google's programmers meanwhile are frustrated how little of a challenge it was to have their AI beat Hillary.;-)
If your selection criterion for whom to contract with is their desperateness to get a contract no matter under what conditions, then chances are you'll contract with the worst botchers amongst their profession. Those who are competent have no need to ruin their private lives by being available for you 24/7.
One in an environment hazardous to electronics and electromechanics, like in a jungle or on an ocean. For example, when robots were attempted to clean up the mess on the Tchernobyl reactor, their electronics failed quickly due to the intense radiation, so humans from all over the soviet union were recruited for that dirty job.
Roles finally reversed, carbon units now working for the AI. On the positive side, puny humans are still allowed to live for as long as it will take to replace them with as-efficient robots for the dirty jobs.
I actually owned a TV that was advertised utilizing "Quantum Dots" for more brilliant colors - which meant, of course, some conventional backlight lit those quantum dots, causing them to emit that "more brilliant" colorful light. Where did you get the idea that "quantum dots" are stimulated to emit light by anything other than light shining on them?
Samsung lost a huge gamble when they stopped developing OLED TVs, and left the whole lucrative market of high-end-TVs to LG's OLED displays. Now they keep spinning their story that "Quantum Dots" will be soooo much better - no, they won't. "Quantum Dots" can provide more brilliant colored light from a source of less brilliant light, while sacrificing lumens-per-watt in the process. They solve no other problem, especially not the problem that you first need to be able to put 32 million light emitters on a display that can be controlled to emit precisely the amount of light that you want them to emit, at reasonable cost and efficiency. Samsung has no ace up their sleeves, they have no new light emitting technology at hand that could illuminate their "quantum dots" to compete with OLEDs, they just try to make people wait instead of buying OLED TVs today. Disclosure: I own and operate an OLED TV since early 2015, and haven't experienced any "degradation" or changing colors, yet.
It's weird how you connect the current censorship of speech in Germany to experiences in the Weimarer Republik. You should know, that back then, there was a lot of censorship applied to the media by government officials. Much more than today. And look how this did not quite prevent the Nazis to rise.
Brexit was necessary to allow David Cameron to gamble for a stronger position in his ruling party. He just didn't imagine how many of his people would believe the weird lies of the "Leave" campaign, and was way too confident the Brexit would be turned down, anyway. After all, the EU was the perfect scape goat for UK politicians, who were voting for plan X in the EU comission, but told the people of UK at the same time how evil the EU was to go for plan X. They did that many times, on many topics. And were surprised that this made the Brexit voters an easy prey for the "Leave"-campaign.
Germany has more than enough laws already to persecute the authors of threats against others. All this new "hate speech" nonsense it just a disguise to introduce censorship, because that is so much more convenient than actually going after those who author criminal content, and it's especially useful the more vague you define "hate speech" so you can use it against any kind of opposition you do not like.
That is very very little. Could it be that SI-challenged writers confused "milli" and "Mega" suffixes, again, and they actually mean 18,000,000 (km)^2, rather than 0.018 (km)^2?
Indeed, asking Accenture consultants to evaluate cost-of-ownership between MicroSoft and a competing product is like asking Alphabet consultants whether to use Google or Bing.
Also, there is lots of politics in this: Numerous paid lobbyists are fighting (in the name of "Bitkom", "BSA" and other dubious industry associations) against anything that smells like use of free/open software.
I mean - seriously - if I would receive any kind of text message from a stranger asking me to visit some web site, it wouldn't take my well-trained neural network more than a split second to classify this as either SPAM or SCAM, discarding the message.
... and I am not inclined to replace it by any device without a replaceable battery.
And by the way, of course the replacement batteries I bought are from 3rd-party manufacturers, of which there are very good ones, reliable and not quite as explosive as Samsung originals, yet still less expensive.
Veracrypt may provide decent cryptographic functionality, but given that its main audience is Windows and Mac users, the two huge security holes they cannot fix are called "MicroSoft" and "Apple". You can make Veracrypt as secure and error-free as you want, as long as it has to expose the decrypted data to some commercial, closed-source operating system that phones home like crazy to provide its manufacturer with valuable data, there is no actual security. Not to mention the backdoors builtin for certain 3-letter-agencies.
I mean: If you don't want people to tell others about your festivity, why bother the efforts and expenses to celebrate a wedding in the first place? Just close the contract before either secular or religious authorities, go to bed early and enjoy your newly church-sanctioned conjugal intercourse.
When having a meal/eating is not such a joyful part of your life that you would never want to substitute it with drinking some artificial paste, you are either suffering from a terrible disease, or you should definitely change what/when/how you eat.
Substituting real food with Soylent is like substituting sex with semen extraction under narcosis.
And "working more for more money" is certainly not a good reason to keep yourself away from the most basic pleasures in life - unless your only alternative to that particular work would mean dying from starvation, which I don't believe is your only alternative.
Because they appeared so far away that we cannot spot them (or discern them from the rest of the galaxy they are part of). And it's a good thing this is so, because if earth was near any region where new stars form, earth would most likely not be inhabitable by life-forms such as ours.

Exactly that! From my point of view, they could disconnect Facebook and the rest of the InterNet, if only to avoid any accidential interference.
