Not really surprising. I just got back from Zimbabwe and was shocked at how much of their economy has been converted over to something called "Eco-Cash". It's basically PayPal over text messages. Yeah, I would say it's insecure.
I guess world wide coverage is new. But this isn't all that valuable to most American work because the USGS has published full aerial coverage of the States since the 1940's, and the period between 2002-2016 is pretty extensive and easy to get a hold of.

This is a big problem. And our society isn't prepared for it. Congress needs to move fast to make it a felony to create photo-realistic likenesses of people (user or AI generated) without their permission. If you want to parody someone, all you have to do is cartoon-ize their face a little bit so that it's clear that it's a parody and not real.
Creating or sharing photo-realistic AI generated porn should be sexual assault.
The end of slavery was going to take all the jobs. Then it was going to be industrialization that was going to take all the jobs. Then it was going to be immigrants. Than automation. Then globalization. Now it's immigrants again that are taking all the jobs.
Yet, after all that, we still have jobs in this nation.
Something tells me that even with the future of AI people will still find things to do.
Remember when the term "Global Village" was all the rage? With all the talk about the benefits that a global village would bring, people forgot that there are parts of living in a village that suck. One of those is that there is no place to hide. Everyone knows your business.
Being single has always sucked. Being single in the internet age sucks even more than ever. Whenever I hear stories like this, I remember how happy I am to have gotten married before all this crap.
"he managed to end the Korean war today." Did he? Or is the North Korea dictatorship just buying themselves more time and nothing is actually going to improve. But I won't be cynical here. If Trump can pull this off, he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact I'll take that as a step forward, and say that any president that just doesn't go to war deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
"Unemployment at historic lows." That was Obama's economy not Trump's. And even still it's dangerous to put too much faith in unemployment numbers. Those can change on a dime real fast.
"ISIS defeated." And what exactly did Trump do to that effect? Nothing. They collapsed because their economic growth was unsustainable.
"Syria likely to not use chemical weapons on their people again." Yes they will. And then we'll bomb a few buildings again. Rinse and repeat.
"Tax cuts for middle class." But those are unsustainable. The lot itself requires your taxes to go up dramatically to pay for the debt.
I'm not against hard working jobs. They are good honest work and obviously necessary. But they have downsides. Again, like I said, if you get hurt and can't work, you are hosed. Disability doesn't pay very much and if you don't have an education there isn't much you can do about it. And that happens a lot with blue collar jobs.
Think about it this way, where are all of the old laborers? When you drive past a construction site you will see lots of laborers working hard, and good for them. But the distribution of age is dramatically skewed to the young end. Under 30's will outnumber over 30's 10 to 1. Why? Because good health and a strong back is a diminishing asset. There are exceptions, but most people wear themselves out pretty quick.
Yes, this will have to be approved. I would give it a coin toss on whether they do or not. Going from 4 carriers to 3 isn't making anyone happy, but is that enough to justify a block? I don't know.
I would say that Trump will do whatever the person who pays him the most tell him to, but the reality is Trump will do whatever he is told to do by the last person he talks to.
We need to organize a letter writing campaign to the governmental authority (whoever that is. The FTC?) to block this. We don't need to drop from 4 wireless carriers to 3.
Blue collar jobs like that are really hard friggin' work. Really hard work. There is a reason your grandfather encouraged your father to go to college instead of following in his footsteps. It's because the work really sucks. And if you are injured on the job, disability pays 50% what you were making and you don't have an education or skills to fall back on anything else. And you will lose your health care. And retirement plan.

Sure, I get that not everyone enjoys sports, that's fine. I have no issue with that.
But my question is, if there are no sports, who cares? I thought sports were basically the only reason left for anyone to not cut the cord.

Of course the alternate encryption like that which IBM recommend happens to be owned by IBM. Better buy in now!
All you suckers said he was a fool. But I knew papa had made a good investment 40 years ago!

"Men exposed to high levels of indoor artificial light also had 2.8-fold higher risk of developing prostate cancer, according to the study."
Uh... So why are so many men exposing their prostates to their cellphone lights at night?

If that were the case, then obviously you should quit teaching and go to work for one of the companies that your students are getting jobs with.
But you aren't quitting are you. Why not?

That's a good tagline for evolution in a nutshell.
You will literally believe anything you are told by conservative media, won't you.
Not tasty, useful. I mean, how do you think humans got electricity to power our smartphones before the advent of coal power production.
It won't be hunting.
It'll be habitat loss.
Being tasty or useful to humans.
