Your sister could have fed them sugar and just counted calories, they wouldn't be fat
Spoken like someone without kids. If your children are complaining all day that they are hungry, are you going to stop them from eating because they hit the calorie count for the day ? How do you figure out an proper calorie count for a growing kid ? Some days they are more active than others, some days they may be sick, other days they may be going through a growth spurt.
Calorie counting is not a practical method. A much better method is give them healthy wholesome food that they can eat to satiety.
we don't know of any mechanism that would allow a GMO plant to harm you in general.
How about a GMO plant that has been designed to withstand high levels of herbicide, allowing the farmer to spray the crops with that stuff, and it ending up in our diet ?
The acid is consumed by the process and must be replenished, which takes energy
How much energy ? The problem is that the glucose and fructose are entering the blood stream. A little bit of energy spent on replenishing acid isn't going to do much damage prevention.
To address your specific points, the energy content of a "complex" carbohydrate (e.g., what we commonly think of as starches or long-chain polysaccharides) is extracted more slowly than a simple carbohydrate (e.g., what we think of as "sugars" which are generally mono- or disaccharides)
There's actually not much difference. Even a complex carbohydrate like bread or pasta will start to raise blood sugar within 15 minutes.
I drink a couple of sodas per day but not to excess.
A couple of sodas (assuming the regular sugary kind) is excess. The WHO recommendation is not more than 25 grams of sugar per day. One can of regular soda is typically already 30 grams or more (depends on the brand and country).
But the fructose and glucose in table sugar are chemically bonded together, and the body must first digest sugar to break these bonds
The bonds get broken when the sucrose gets into contact with an acid, so basically as soon as it hits your stomach. That's why there's little difference in practice between eating HFCS or sucrose.
I think that he meant an everyday example like building better accounting software not something that would obviously benefit from deep learning like language tools.
That would be silly, because the article only says that problems that benefit from deep learning systems are programmed in a different way, not all programs.
The article isn't saying that traditional software development is changing. What is happening is that some problems are suitable for a solution based on deep learning, and for those problems, the traditional programmer is replaced by someone specializing in configuring the neural net and training it. Pretty obvious, of course.
One of the bigger issues is that surface area to volume really drops
You can make plenty of useful applications by stacking 2 or 3 layers, for instance stacking RAM and Flash on top of a CPU to take advantage of wide buses, and different technologies. Think smart phones and low power gadgets, not stacking a dozen i7 CPUs on top of each other.

Any currency that is attractive as an investment itself is not sustainable long term.
Think of crypto not as a regular currency, but as an easily tradeable investment.
Starts to rise after 15 minutes, peaks around 1 hr, drops after 2. Pretty much all carbs do that.
Weight for weight, a slice of bread peaks your blood glucose higher than table sugar.

Take someone with an LDL of 50-70 (ideal, hunter-gatherer levels), feed them saturated fats and/or cholesterol, and cholesterol skyrockets.
Hunter gatherers didn't eat meat or eggs ?

Russian propaganda is easily recognized because it's written in Cyrillic !
I'm legally obligated to pay my child support.
You can't do that on a $2/hr job.
the person 'can' refuse a trip
That's what they are doing by striking.
How about components embedded inside the PCB ?

but they will take far too long to be useful for the microsecond resolution trading that is done today
A guy like Warren Buffett may think a year before doing a trade, and he's been pretty good at it. Not everything has to be done at microsecond level.
Except that the heart of deep learning is nonlinear operations. If they were linear, you wouldn't have to make them deep.

If you can't enforce the license, you have lost control.

As you can see, there's no need for nanometer alignment. Small imperfections aren't a problem either.
The issue is that lithographic techniques don't let you get more than a few layers thick before the negative f-theta lenses employed are out of focus
They aren't making 3D chips. They are making regular chips, and then stack the dies directly on top of each other.
There are plenty of applications where the chips are already very low power, so stacking doesn't cause heat problems.
...with the extra potential complexity that implies...
High density routing on circuit boards is also complex.
