The Chinese now have a fledgling petro-Yuan. The USA should be ostensibly "nice" to China for a change. Things like sanctions only make a country as large and resourceful as China stronger in the long run. And with Chinese companies, it requires only the sleight of hand to rename a company and bypass such sanctions. The last thing that they will put up with is losing sales, and the second-to-last is changing their business practices.
Exactly. This is all conjecture, and it's really subjective.
Will the robot be the one getting paid for its services and retaining assets that can be sued? If so, we can consider debating this.
But if the company is getting paid for the robot's services and trying to push the legal responsibility onto the asset-less robot, than this is a complete farce.
Also, one would hope that the programming will contain a series of unalterable moral checks to prevent the robot from "learning" that it's OK to hurt people or property.
I use a Samsung phone with stang5litre ROM so I can use my phone without having to be tracked by Google. Granted, they nag you to enable tracking EVERY TIME you install an app and there's no way to disable the nag message.
So I was supposed to be going on a date months ago, and the guy insisted on getting in touch over FB messenger. I told him I don't do FB on my phone and to just call me. Well, what do you know, he was a no show, I tried to check the messages on my phone, and it blocked me and demanded that I install their spyware on my phone. I didn't think to try "request desktop version," but it wasn't worth it anyway.
As the great comedian Bill Hicks once proclaimed, we are the puppet people!
Unfortunately, it more than political agendas. With the new owners, Slashdot now has big ties to a group that is big on SEO. Slashdot used to be a highly-ranked site. The rumor around town is that they are shaping what the search engines "think" by posting these non-stories, like Chris Reimer on steroids.
This is nothing new. It's just a different medium of something that has been done since at latest the Cold War. Numbers stations have been used for DECADES. Broadcast something publicly over shortwave (or perhaps MW or LW) in a sometimes unending stream. It is garbage to anyone who doesn't have the means to decode it.
Would someone PLEASE tell me when S(c)amsung is going to make the batteries replaceable again? My son broke his Galaxy phone twice by placing it in his back pocket and sitting down. They removed the plastic cover and replaced it with a glass one. First time, we thought it was a fluke. Second time, we got it fixed, sold the phone on ebay, and bought him an older HTC instead.
What REALLY bothered me was that they have been so anti-Trump. They were Obama-leaning in the last cycle. What gives? We went from fascist dictator Bush to ultraliberal dictator Obama, and now we have by most measures a moderate who is keeping his campaign promises and seemingly is trying to help the country even if he doesn't know the best way to do it. He's not a Republican. He's not a Democrat. The guy's got a taste of what it is like to be on the receiving end of the Deep State. It takes an unprecedented level of ego, arrogance, social skill, and intelligence to be able to go up against the Deep State.
You know, the kind of Deep State where dissidents will be convicted of "tax evasion" in a Soviet manner.
The kind of Deep State where The Party picks the candidates. The kind of Deep State where the president spies on any possible dissident candidate because he might be an "unknown quantity." The kind of Deep State where the hand-picked next president pays for a fake dossier to shut down the guy who threw a wrench in the works. The kind of Deep State where a phony investigation goes on over a phony dossier off and on in various forms for two years and yields NOTHING. The kind of Deep State where evidence can be destroyed with bleachbit and hammers, where justice is obviously obstructed, and nothing comes of it. The kind of Deep State that is the mainstream media with the exception of Faux News that is just as phony but not completely under its purview. The kind of Deep State that uses foreign interests such as the Arab-owned/operated Bizx, LLC. to purchase sites such as Slashdot and run them into the ground with illiterate third worlders and uneducated high schoolers better off running the school paper.
Shall I continue? How about Rear Admiral Rogers going to warn Trump to get out of Trump Tower because he was in such danger after the election and before the inauguration, a warning so grave that he had moved his operations to Florida the very next day?
The site's not loading, but I'll take your word for it.
This is not about justice. That's not how the American legal system works anymore. This is about going after people who have deep pockets, like Autozone, over a line or two of code, and continuing over and over and over again until they're disbarred.
Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline; it always has. Gas stations don't exist till the mid-twentieth century. Without gasoline, we can't get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour.
Except that's not how the law works. HIPAA makes it *very* hard for cops to use this kind of information against you. It CAN be done, but there are paths of lesser resistance.
Thanks. This site was purchased to push an agenda. The timing went along with a lot of other weird things. Sucks that it isn't publicly traded. I looked on EDGAR a while back, and there are a ton of entries on Slashdot Media, but it looks as though it's just a little piece of someone's portfolio pushed around like a poker chip or a liquored up 19-year-old floozie at a frat party. California secretary of state office didn't have much to report either.
Unfortunately, you can't fix stupid. No amount of despotic decrees by the government against the companies allowing you to purchase addictive cancer is going to fix people's stupidity. It, however, will set a precedent for stupid despotic decrees for propaganda.
Mr. Mackey: "LSD's bad, mmmkay?" I wonder what the cost to society would be if all the smokers dropped the tobacco this instant and started to microdose LSD.
Correct, sir. I was looking for info on Fukushima to get an update a few days ago and ran across an RT video. The anchor and anti-nuke expert that they had on knew way too much and knew way too many questions for me to be comfortable. Maybe that's just a normalcy bias.
And while we're talking about nukes, Chernobyl NPP had a steam system that went all throughout the adjoining town and provided the buildings with heat.
Just like college campuses have been doing for, what, A HUNDRED PLUS YEARS? Central steam generation plants are still everywhere. This isn't all that newsworthy.

It doesn't matter.

You mean rats swimming around and clinging onto the bloated, dead rats that have enough buoyancy to form rotting rat islands?
RIP, Slashdot

It is a true disgrace to humanity.
Miss Mash, WHY. Please, WHY. Explain what is going on.
Is it the ergot fungus in the bread?
Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline; it always has. Gas stations don't exist till the mid-twentieth century. Without gasoline, we can't get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour.
At least Miss Mash isn't spamming more pro-government net "neuterality" FUD or more anti-Russian FUD.

This is like something that Q would teleport Picard off the bridge to watch just to WASTE HIS TIME.

Now how do we get our title bar back in Chrome?

Hey! I resent that comment!
I met Weird Al in person, and he is a VERY intelligent artist to work with. A coherent parody is difficult to write.
