There are so many unfair trade practices that China is involved in, and the U.S. has been begrudgingly accepting of them for years. If you're a business owner, how could you possibly plan for anything if Trump changes his mide ever 4 weeks.
The McDonald's and Walmart CEO's make about $10 per employee per year.
The US Government taxes those employees far more.
You're saying this as if it's justified and fair. Why should a major CEO's compensation be proportionate to the number of employees they have? Shouldn't it be valued at the value they bring themselves? That's how everyone else works.
Trump has very much re-tuned a lot of that to good effect which is why the economy, jobs, and stock market have all greatly improved under Trump.
Obama started with the worst economy in many decades and made an incredible comeback. If you're giving Trump credit for the past 18 months, you have to give Obama credit for the past 8 years.
I don't think you would be satisfied with Medicare. You'd constantly be complaining.
Everyone 65 or older has Medicare. Do they complain, of course. Can there be improvements, certainly. But it's a system that is working for millions of americans and there is no reason that it can't be expanded.
"All elections are local"... The way our voting system works, if one state was "hacked" then the worst that would come of it would be the electoral votes from that one state would be potentially affected. This could swing an election, in theory, if a swing state was "hacked".
Moore's Law is already dead. We're now just seeing the effect it has on the market. Sure, things are made cheaper with more mass production, but without any real advancement, we may be stuck in a technological plateau.
The only reason that hardware is becoming less important is because it hasn't been improving fast enough. It used to be that everything was obsolete within 3 years, but now set hardware can function well for 5, and in the future, it's lifetime will extend further. If Moore's Law weren't dying, console hardware would remain important.
Some may say this is an arbitrary line in the sand, or one that to inclusive, but it's admirable that they have the will to draw any line at all. If what Google and big tech companies promise comes true (i.e., general AI in the next 10-20 years), then this should be welcome news to anyone who wants to see AI help humankind and not hurt it.
Learn to with AI as a marketing term, as opposed to a technical term. Under this definition, anything that performs human-like tasks is AI. No question this definition is broad, clumsy, and fails to capture various forms AI that are wildly different. That said, the term does not belong to the tech community anymore. It's part of the mainstream discourse.The word isn't defined by engineers, but by business people.
It does seem like Carnegie Mellon is jumping on the AI hype bandwagon, but they have such a good program that I would be interested in riding along too. No one graduating from Carnegie Mellon CS is dumb. They rightly or wrongly get extra leeway to try out unconventional areas of study. Can't see that as a bad thing.
I took ECE at Cornell University. Of course everyone talked about AI, but it was always an application of disciplines. Taking an AI major is not that different from taking a self-driving car major... relevant at this very moment, but not much beyond.
Ha... AirBnB raises rents in NYC... how about all of the foreign buyers in China and Russia that buy apartments 100% in cash without ever seeing them or living in them. Maybe AirBnB is good or bad, but they are a drop in the bucket compared to others.
He has realized how big a joke AI is in relation to the hype (which he largely helped to create) like many of us have, and he is just distancing himself from embarrassment and a bad investment like a coward instead of admitting he was wrong.
The only hype is that the "AI revolution" is coming in "5-10 years", when in reality it will probably be closer to 20 to 50 years, or possibly as long as 100 to 200 years. But regardless, there is no question it's coming. If evolution can create conscious beings from carefully positioned molecules, there's no reason to think that human's can't do it too.
So now we have quasi AI-programs rating resumes. While the algorithms can't be blatantly biased, you can be sure that anyone with an @aol.com or @hotmail.com email account will be ranked lower than someone from a @gmail.com account. Is that a smart algorithm or just age discrimination by another name?
Academics haven't been at the forefront of much since they started letting everyone it.... Innovation happens in industry.
Are you trolling here? Just about every major discovery from semiconductors, to search engines, to machine learning, to pharmaceuticals all enormously benefited from work at universities. Innovation happens in industry too. But this is besides the point. My original point is that you can be at the forefront of technology and not be a nerd. I think the defining feature of a "nerd" is some sort of antisocial behavior.
Your "proof" says "reportedly" right there in the headline. This is called "hearsay", not "proof". Or in other words, the proof value of that statement is zero.
It's not proof, but it is evidence, pretty strong evidence at that. Given such evidence, you'd be pretty negligent to think that Kaspersky is untouched by Russian intelligence.
I don't really think so. It's too ambiguous and unclear, and lacks discovery. You can't tell how to do what you want to do by looking at it.
Poor discovery is definitely the common criticism. But discovery is only one element of a UI, there are tradeoffs, but overall I subjectively think it works well.

Literally 3 stories down, is news that Netflix is investing $2B in content. $20M seems like a tiny drop.
The day Wikipedia starts licensing it's content commercially will be the day that it dies.

Okay, so duh, just hack Florida and Ohio.

It could also mean that people are looking at "sharing" jobs as permanent.
It could also mean this research was sponsored by Uber.

Good for him -- understanding that there's a conflict of interest shows a great deal of self-awareness ... hey, wait a second ...
Better than the alternative... staying on the board and saying his other ventures pose no risk at all.

The attorneys for Epic games just filed a document with the court saying they did not know he was 14.
Seems pretty easy to thwart facial recognition. More concerning is the fact that most of us carry around a homing beacon in our front pocket.
Super easy, just wear a different mask every day of your life! See killer drone problem solved, easy-peesy.
The link to the underlying research is incorrect. This is the correct link: http://science.sciencemag.org/...
It is actually nothing of the sort. It is just an indicator that this smear-campaign is reasonably well organized.
And what's your evidence of a well organized smear campaign?
