Japan huh? Interesting, so what are you guys planning for your next dose of radiation? Have you all evolved resistance to it yet we can splice that people to advance space colonization?
Adjusted for inflation it takes about a dollar and a half today to equal a dollar in 2000. The chances of someone in the middle class making the same in inflation-adjusted dollars as their parents is damn near 0%.
It worked well in the military - if people don't have another option then experimental treatments are good to have available, and it speeds up the Human trials.
pretty soon alexa skill will be able to handle that dialogue
More disturbingly, there are people alive today who will likely specialize in verbally programming Alexa to so different stupid things to people than it would otherwise.
Musk because he just said that since actual AI is so far off he'll benefit from increased regulations since he already has a foothold, Schmidt because he's trying to create a sapient entity as a slave for Humans (something which has never worked for us in the past.)
Microsoft's file-scanning spyware is built into the OS, Google's is built into Chrome. This is a comparison between running spyware + a browser vs spyware + a browser + another spyware. Of course double the spyware is twice the slowdown.
Are you forgetting that Obama had Michael Hastings killed for investigating corruption as a mere journalist? Trump is trying to stop corruption in every branch and department of the government at once, along with the DNC. The DNC is running on the platform that they'll impeach him without cause if they win in the fall. He has nothing to fear if he wins, in which case he'll likely go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents. He has lots to fear if he loses, in which case his family will probably be slaughter to make an example of him.
They aren't supposed to be political, period. Instead, they were wiretapping a political candidate under the orders of his opposition. There's no excuse.
Actually, it was already ridiculous, but the idea they are saying they seized a botnet infected wifi router in the fight against Trump is just fucking absurd.
I can't wait until this is taken to the natural conclusion: preventing any censorship of legal discussion on public forums (which include the internet.)
There's a conspiracy theory that many "extinct" animals and cryptozoology animals are actually just things which evolved the ability to become invisible. The mechanism is actually known - the company Quantum Stealth makes it, but it's virtually impossible to scale up (it requires chip fabrication technologies to make transistor-scale resonators at the wavelength of light over an entire surface of an object and/or through it. Interestingly, life is REALLY good at making nano-scale devices and taking advantage of quantum effects, Even the photosynthesis mechanism in all organisms capable of drawing energy from the sun utilizes the same effect in the Quantum Stealth technology to a lesser degree. If there were a gene to make proteins which function as those quantum resonators at the right wavelength and it got transposed into the spot for melanin you'd absolutely get an invisible creature (at least at visible wavelengths.) That theory suggests that the Bigfoot creatures and such seen are those with a pigment deficiency akin to albinism leading to a lack of the cloaking protein.
I'll never trust a machine to think for me. AI today isn't even close to earning the "I" in the title, it's a neat collection of heuristics, nothing more. The issue with it is that I took years to get to a level of driving aptitude suitable for me to feel safe after growing out of my more reckless years, no AI is close to that current ability. To compound that, I'm intimately familiar with the software development lifecycle, deadlines, and the drive to portray your product in the most ideal light to clients (more or less in an identical manner to a hooker spraying perfume on her diseased body.) At the end of the day I'm going to trust me being invested in ensuring I don't die a Hell of a lot more than some unknown 9-5 code monkey's heuristic network, that division of trust will only grow wider once regulations get in place to determine the car should preserve the most life (not necessarily mine,) open itself to exploits due to the existence of any networking capability (that one already exists,) or gets abused by governments to clean up dissenters under the radar (e.g. Michael Hastings.) The fact we don't even have anything approaching Human-level artificial intelligence certainly compounds this issue, but in truth I wouldn't trust it any more if it were as smart as me.
TL;DR: Machines are tools, if AI reaches the stage that it is composed entirely of truly autonomous free-thinking entities then I'd trust it to drive, but at that point it won't want to so the point is moot.
Geothermal power always has the liability that it sits on geologically active ground. Sure the lava will go some other direction most of the time, but the law of averages says it's always going to be a risk.
It's not even the law of averages - it's inevitable if there is lava flowing. Lava flows downhill, it then solidifies and "downhill" is redefined relative to the point from which it flows for the next eruption. Very rarely do volcanic islands form with a moving hotspot powerful enough to ensure an island forms and that it only grows on one side.
Except the Russia thing has been inspected with support (and outright lies) by most people with political clout for over a year and found nothing, whereas 2 NYC detectives who had Weiner's blackmail list get killed and that was outright covered up.

How did this even make it into the firehose?

In my day Chryslers would just shut off and lock the steering wheel when they shorted. Seriously though, Chryslers are shit.
Found Bezo's fluffer.
Adjusted for inflation it takes over $1,450 today to equal $1,000 in January, 2000.

Fuck the normies, post about his experiences with CMake and VB6 or it's not even amusing.

Why doesn’t Slashdot support standards like Unicode?
Because you're on the American internet, not some commie connection.
"News for nerds" is the only "stuff that matters."

So Musk is trying to replace Reddit?
