Nothing AI can do, but this is a recent phenomenon, mostly created by American car manufacturers.
To overcome the very limited life of the product, they created a new product each year and a fashionista mentality that you change your car like you change your clothes.
In Europe, cars were being made that last 30-100 years. However, American cars, devoid of quality control, were much cheaper, and as the market expanded rapidly, most buyers, even in Europe, were people who had never owned a car before, and had no idea of the difference in quality between a Packhard or Bentley and a Ford.
The rest is <strike> a total fuckup </strike> history.
Normal people. Believe it or not, they still exist.
See, right in front of your eyes - an example of actual fake news. (There are definitely no normal people - I have looked on the Internet, and every one there is DEFINITELY freak.).
As a non-USian, I believe that the anti-China stories are mostly there because the NSA finds it harder to put its own Trojans in Chinese computers
Think about it: if every computer on the planet is streaming private material to China, what the hell would China do with all that data? And why would I care? its not like the Chinese are going to send me for re-education. OTOH, we can see what happens when the NSA comes after you.
that black in the Americas people are WAY more likely to commit violent and serious crimes than white people.
FTFY
This is not true in Europe and Africa (possibly excluding war zones) - but is true in the Americas. There is a distinct possibility that the history of slavery in the Americas may have a bearing on this.
About 200 years ago, in the UK, you could be hung for sheep stealing. The saying went "you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" - but generally, it was observed by the criminal classes that you would be better off killing the shepherd than getting caught stealing sheep.
Reducing the sentences for sheep stealing significantly improved the life expectancy of shepherds. (Although, not being land owners, they still did not have the vote).
Unfortunately, most politicians will balk at this because longer prison times make them look "tough on crime."
If you were really tough on crime, a lot more politicians would be behind bars. It is more a case of "Something must be done, this is something, so we must do it".
"AI" stands for Actual Idiocy in more cases than the general public realizes.
The real problem here, and in many other cases of AI failure is complete lack of quality control.
In most cases, alleged AI is not intelligent, and probably not artificial - it is mechanized processes that were defective in concept, implementation, and application. Yes... all three. Its not the Intel CPU that is at fault, it is the fools that believed the marketing hype.
OTOH "it turns out everything we thought we knew was wrong" would appear to be true of science reporters even after they read the paper. Either that, or the critical concept "thinking" was not actually present.
The true story is "Scientists explained an interesting phenomenon in greater detail than before. They seemed excited about this. However, I failed to grasp the essence of what was important about it".
You don't want to antoganize customers whose perception is they are legitimate.
This is hard evidence that they do want to antagonize them.
My Sister in law regularly comes to my house and logs in on her Netflix account. Since we are not avid TV users, it probably stays "on the Netflix channel" for several days before anyone bothers to change it. I suspect the same thing happens when she visits other family members.
We won't pay for Netflix (we have free-to-air, and its fine for us). My sister-in-law would stick to Youtube if Netflix charged her more, and is unlikely to understand complex billing strategies.
may find that increasingly discerning streaming audiences need binge-worthy content to attract them.
A lot of people already find plenty of African made movies are binge-worthy. However, they mostly rely on Video-CDs - which bring a new perspective to "Ultra low resolution" unequalled even by VHS.
Pay TV is a big deal in most of Africa - in the unlikely event that you have an electricity supply. Solar will eventually fix that.
Binging on online movies will not be a big thing unless the networks cut the price of data a very long way indeed.
Cool, got an UltraSPARC T2, so everything is all good!
It may be cool, but what about the 85dB noise level?
I would love the people making these ARM boards to make them for factor compatible with Oracle motherboards so they can upgrade old Sun/Oracle kit. It would be an interesting way to compare performance if you could swap them in the exact location, just switching the cables to the unit above or below.
If you are in a war zone, the last thing you should be caring about is getting your fucking cell phone location services to work.
I would not dispute that. However, degrading the accuracy of the enemy's weapons is likely to have the effect of killing a lot more people on my side. It is the kind of foot-shooting we have come to expect from Trump supporters - so, yes, we do need to worry about this kind of thinking.
In fact the UK, since it joined the EU, has finally become independent in food production, thanks in no small part to EU farming subsidies. Which is quite a feat consider that was not the case like over a century.
This is utterly incorrect. We import 3/4 of our food (the official figure is 66%) - which corresponds to 100% in the winder and 50% in the summer. Britain has not been self sufficient in food since the industrial revolution, and prior to then depended on large scale starvation to keep the population down. Our climate and geography make it impossible to grow food for much of the year.
Most of the imported food (by volume) comes from the EU (on account of the Americas and Australia being a long way away).
The main consequence of a no-deal Brexit will be no food in England. However, Boris and Rees-Mogg will be away in their holiday homes abroad, so they don't care. The impact on the rest of the EU will be fairly minimal except in a few industries. (Eg Farming in Spain will suffer a bit).
Disclaimer: I spend 10 years working in food distribution in the UK.
I want to get robots so that I can increase my profits
Unless the rich are extremely stupid, (which, clearly, many are) they know the robots can't make profit unless the unemployed have enough money to pay for what the robots (or outsourced jobs) produce.
At the moment, the plan is to have the "middle income" fund the unemployed. As the relative size of the unemployed overtakes the number of middle incomers, this strategy is failing. Not helped by the fact that the "middle income" is actually not much larger than is needed to survive, and is rapidly going below that level in most developed countries.
Clearly a "Plan B" is required - and eliminating most of the honey bees was not the right plan B.
And you probably spend countless man hours trying to get Postgresql to perform the same way Oracle does.
Or a much smaller number of hours getting Postgresql to do the job you really wanted, rather than the piss-poor job that Oracle was doing.
Costless man hours and wasted resources when you could of paid someone else to do it for you and actually concentrated on selling the product you are producing.
Of course, you still have the option of paying someone else with Postgresql. You just would not have to pay them so much, or for so long, or pledge your firstborn son, or sign contracts with Lucifer.
If you need a database, then dealing with Oracle is the option from hell. Yes, I have managed successful migrations from Oracle to Postgresql. No I wont touch your Oracle installation with a 10 foot pole.
There are all kinds of different crazy people on YouTube. I don't mean crazy as in believe some strange things, but as in diagnoseably mentally ill and in need of their medication.
If you were mentally ill and needed medication, where would you go? Youtube, or the doctor?
Hint: if you choose the doctor, you are not mentally ill!

Get with the program: Either Trump did it or its the globules warming up.

Politicians are involved. Laughably stupid for reason of pique is the most likely outcome.

At last, AC, you have solved my problem: I will become a professional hypocrite - it is obviously the job in highest demand in America!

If not, then evaluating it is unnecessary- it has no conceivable value for me.
How about working on a way to reduce the time between arriving at the airport and boarding the plane below three hours?
Is anyone working on a way to get past the security checks at mach 1.4?
I can't wait to see America implement a 30% tax on free services. It should raise so much revenue that it will Make Trump Great Again.
