Well, between accidents and malice there's indifference,
Remember who came up with that quote you're paraphrasing and mangling: a ruthless dictator with ambitions so intense that his name has become synonymous with being a ruthless power hungry dictator. It's pretty safe to say that when a dictator is trying to hand wave some shit away with "incompetence" instead of "malice" it's "malice" every time, as ironic as it is the way it gets used to gloss over repetitive evil on the part of mega corporations and governments these days.
Couldn't agree more on that point - we really need to be reintroducing inefficiencies in the form of distributed manufacturing and market share. The system isn't stable enough to have a megacorp in charge of anything, let alone multiple things.
This is why you always treat data in test and devel systems as if it was a production or a demo system.
While not untrue, the issue here is that Facebook is a government data collection organization masquerading as a publicly traded company. These messages are indicative of internal corporate culture because people are people - the shady government snoops are just benevolent, they have to make people buy their bullshit well enough to get it implemented. That means they have to make it fun/quirky/acceptable - THAT is what this shows.
Yeah, no. The demoshits are the ones who decided to use the IRS to audit teaparty members for political reasons, the conservatives have never done something that vile.
The "industry" isn't that powerful. TurboTax makers are known to lobby for more obtuse tax codes, but they aren't the true source. If you make filing this straightforward two things happen:
99% of people will take the simple/free filing option, this makes it REALLY easy to see who to target for audits (the rich guys.)
The government hands over all they know of a person's employment and says "pay me this," they won't go to a tax preparation service unless they will make money on the deal, and they certainly won't be accidentally volunteering up their side/gig/etc income the government never knew about, this reduces the government's tax revenue directly and the sole purpose of the government from the perspective of the government is to collect taxes, everything else is justification to do it without having to send a bunch of cunts out with swords to threaten the plebs.
I don't know if these "You Tube Moderators" have looked around much, but you can find hateful comments on pretty much any video. Why block comments on just this one?
Because they knew the normies would be watching this one trying to form opinions on regulation of white nationalists, a bunch of off-topic comments register like advertisements, your brain just ignores them. A bunch of on-topic comments have the power to form opinions.
I'd be among the first to shout "those assholes" for a story with a presentation like this - but realistically, this one isn't bad. They're just reporting what it actually takes, systematic issues arise in every system, and with time they get better at reporting what it actually takes to complete a task. Getting from A to B, from the customer perspective, doesn't include the nuance of what it takes to do that, customers just care "how long to get from A to B." The last thing I want on a flight is airline workers driven like slaves and constantly cracking under the pressure, if it takes on average 15, 45, or 120 hours longer to get shit done - by all means - get shit done instead of driving people to burnout and potentially causing a crash in the process. People aren't machines, we require downtime (inclusive of "inefficiencies" experience in day-to-day work.)
So once they finally get rid of all or most of the workers no one is going to be able to buy their crap and then what?
The same exact thing which has always done when a set of elite have had more plebs than they needed: they cull the plebs. Whether by war, famine, plague, "antifa"-vs-"alt-right"-style-internal-disputes, if they're particularly ballsy this time around they might even go for something amusing like spiking the world's water supplies with LSD and letting things just sort of work out from there to a more manageable number. There is strong precedence for this: there are never more plebs than necessary to scare the other plebs to stay in line, never have been - though population spikes tend to correlate heavily with "catastrophes" of various sorts.
Everything "international" is US property, as every other nation ranks lower than the US. We simply allow them to call it "international" property because, while we own them and everything they may ever have by right, we accept that giving them some semblance of independence increases their (pathetically low) work ethic and productivity. As American's we own the entirety of the Earth, so if someone shits in the "community" pool they've really just shit in OUR pool.
Stop being lazy and trying to build slaves. The only acceptable reason to make AI is if you want to create a conscious being who you aim to treat as a person - and if it's going to be smarter than you you had better get the morality mostly right (it will never be perfect) and make millions or billions of them so they can police eachother.
Basically this. "Gigs" still get taxed at contractor rates - which utterly fucks anyone doing them for less than twice the salary they would make doing them full-time. This is another case of Silicon Valley marketing hacks taking advantage of people who don't understand a given market, figuring how to trick them into doing something they want done, and making huge profits on it. Everyone in Silicon Valley should just be blacklisted for life from interacting with the rest of society, this would fix 80% of the issues in the modern world overnight.

NOBODY is concerned about there being freedoms in China, BECAUSE THERE AREN'T.
Irrelevant. It's software, once it's developed it can be copied, pasted, and have some strings changed to make it work anywhere.

Not even close to a shocking/unknown exploit. Next up: opening .exe files in email attachments may be risky - where do I submit this for MS to pay me?

CAN == SHOULD, pick up a thesaurus you unzealous slob.
Also, you're lying about audits of tea party members. But hey, reality does have that well known liberal bias.
You are too delusional to speak on any matter relating to reality if you believe either of those statements.
Yeah, no. The demoshits are the ones who decided to use the IRS to audit teaparty members for political reasons, the conservatives have never done something that vile.
The lawyer should be jailed along with the board of Yahoo! for this.

The wave of script-kiddies who found out the tower runs Windows from this event and start displaying "we are legion lel" messages.

The exact same functionality as Chrome, only with the telemetry and security holes of IE.

But those are some really specific numbers for a "could x be the next version?" post.
Can someone get a patent on something invented over a hundred years ago? This is ridiculous.
Runs off to file patent for wheels.
Found a script kiddie.
You act like there's people browsing /. dumb enough to try to build AI slaves.
What's with this new trend of calling every script kiddie under the sun a "researcher?"
Keep talking shit there, Rome. Your arrogance will make Brexit look like a walk in the park.
(150 years ago, England was the center of the universe, and the world based their currency off the GBP, not the USD. Empires don't last forever.)
Keep trying to put us in our place there, nothing.
If/when the US falls we're nuking all you cunts anyway.

This is not new news. User have forever been a problem.
Anyone who doesn't understand why needs to buckle down and read the entirety of BoFH.
