  1. opt out of imperialist control! on Four States Sue To Stop Internet Transition (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    do it like the communist brother country of north korea and opt out of the imperialist domain name system controlled by the united states! Enter bare ipv4 addresses instead! Its much better because everyone who owns a domain is a filthy capitalist who lives off the hard work of other people! Down with the imperialist west!

    The only thing of importance IANA has power over is the DNS root zone, but that is just meaningless (yes, lots of real estate value connected to it but in essence its meaningless). If google would be bought by the chinese it would be far worse.

    I'd like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as TensorFlow, is in fact, "corporate data/TensorFlow", or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, corporate data plus TensorFlow. TensorFlow is not a finished voice assistant itself, but rather a free component of an otherwise proprietary, fully functioning google system made useful by the google proprietary APIs, apps and web services comprising a full product experience as defined by the google leadership.

    Many computer users query the google system every day. There really is a TensorFlow, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

    TensorFlow is the basis: the program in the system that executes the AI programs. TensorFlow is an essential part of an AI service, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete AI service. TensorFlow is normally used with the google proprietary service: the whole system is basically google's proprietary service with TensorFlow added, or "corporate data/TensorFlow".

    She is the lesser of two evils. In an ideal world, she would be persecuted for all the crimes she and her family commited, and she would be banned from public offices, but as the alternative is even more horrible, I think she should become president.

    Trump wants to make peace with russia, that's nice, but he also wants to charge protection money from the western countries, and he didn't really get the message about climate change. The horrible TTIP deal, all this paperwork can be reversed, but if the USA is going to continue pollution, or even expand it, this will have an irreversible and unstoppable impact on global climate.

    That's why governments (counting police as part of the government) usually employ professionals who do this as their day jobs. The whole process is bound to certain rules, like the rule of no punishment without a court ruling, or the presumption of innocence, and it is usually better than an investigation done by an angry mob of laymen. But sometimes this system doesn't work, for example when it affects someone higher up. I can totally understand the government employees who refrain from investigating their higher ups. In a democracy you have the press and public to take over that task.

  22. Re:It's the Incentives, Stupid on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't Techies Improving The World? · · Score: 1

    They work like this: there's a problem costing the public money, whether that's in cash or years of life lost due to illness or whatever. Fix it, prove you did (that's the hard part), and collect a percentage of the money you saved.

    There is another tool to solve these things: the market. Its designed in a way so that solutions with a low cost are prefferred over solutions with a high cost. The problem in many cases though are externalities which introduce an imperfection to the market by not making some costs show up in the price tag of products on the market, thus making those products more competitive and maybe more likely to be chosen than alternative products that do not cause such hidden costs.

    To solve this, externalities can be internalized. Just require the company to pay for the damages their specific product causes to the public, and then send those funds to the people who suffer under the product. Then the company has to raise prices for their product, and on the market customers may now prefer different products instead of the one with the externalities. And if there is no viable alternative, its fine as well, as the people who suffer under the externality are now compensated.

    You're ignoring two aspects of the SDC though.

    Agreed, with smart cars streets will be able to handle lots of more traffic, and in situations where you have no pedestrians nor cyclists, you won't even need lights anymore. There will still be a limit though, so my argument from above still applies.

    Or even better, you might not even own a car directly any longer

    I'm not sure whether I'll want that. Some people don't care about keeping something clean when they are not watched and its not theirs, and i don't want to be greeted by puke on the seat I want to sit down on. But probably I won't have much of a choice when car prices rise drastically due to the smaller number of cars being manufactured as almost all cars become shared.
