  1. Holo was still better. on Google Is Really Good At Design · · Score: 1

    It was one thing to unify, but turning everything to paper was a step backwards.

  2. Complete bollocks. on We're Too Wise For Robots To Take Our Jobs, Alibaba's Jack Ma Says (scmp.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They don't have to take every job, they just have to take enough of them. That's bad enough.

  3. They wrongly assume the jobless is at fault on Google Announces $1 Billion Job Training and Education Program (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    They assume the wrong party is at fault - the jobless - while letting employers off the hook for unreasonable requirements.

    If they wanted to make a difference, they'd be getting employers to take the people that we have.

  4. I want to see them fail (on their fault) in a current-day environment before I'd even think of trusting them.

  5. Let me know when Android gets 41MP Pureview. on Microsoft Exec Says Windows 10 Mobile is No Longer a 'Focus' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's quite bad when the Nokia 1020, a circa-2013 phone, can hold its own with modern-day Android devices, much less be able to run more modern code. (Yes, I have both Android and the 1020. I'd just like to see a better camera versus "better processing".)

  6. Your "myths" are actual facts. on Tim O'Reilly: Don't Fear AI, Fear Ourselves (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Fact 1: "This time" change is happening much faster It is happening faster. Industrial era allowed generations to evaluate and adapt to harmful change, while modern day tech has decreased that to under a few years. Fact 3: Everything will be automated. Automate enough and it will be like you automated everything. The displaced and long-term jobless are affected even more by not receiving any of the jobs, much less anything of comparable quality. Fact 4: Productivity improvements cause poverty. They do cause poverty as they do not fully integrate the displaced on their terms. Any allegations of prosperity rely on the displaced dying off/aging out. Relying on the abstraction of "consumer" doesn't make the harm go away.

  7. It's not his ox getting gored. on Tim O'Reilly: Don't Fear AI, Fear Ourselves (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Easy to say when he's not losing anything.

  8. Does nothing for state schools on Another Thing Amazon Is Disrupting: Business-School Recruiting (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be nice if this happened at less selective schools, versus the near-Ivy ones.

  9. Would be nice if Android was first. on Microsoft Brings Edge To Android and IOS (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If they want Android adoption, put it first.

  10. An adapter won't do. on Google Unveils Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL With No Headphone Jack (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    They'd have to include a sleeve that includes the jack in a more proper place, or sell it at nominal cost.

  11. Buzzfeed, YHBT. on Google and Facebook Failed Us (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    and given that he also lists himself as a former male underwear model at Victoria's Secret, a former nuclear scientist at Chernobyl, and a former bodyguard at Buckingham Palace, his work history may not be reliable.

    Which is satire. The more disturbing thing is that Buzzfeed thinks that those were meant to be factual statements.

  12. It's not their job to be gatekeepers. on Google and Facebook Failed Us (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    4chan is a known source of [news that others won't cover].

    4chan has managed to be right more than they've been wrong. They're not bound by narrative like many gatekeepers - which frees them to crowdsource media-unfriendly facts.

    That alone shows something wrong with the media and its bias. If Buzzfeed has a problem with 4chan, that's their problem and nobody else's.

  13. They forgot about what on Radical Leftists Built Their Own FOSS Alternative To Reddit After It Banned Them (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "To me, the biggest problem with Reddit is how its administrators ignore the routine harassment and witch-hunts of marginalized people that takes place, with r/The_Donald being the most prominent example,"

    Never mind that Reddit has done a lot to silence that (and other non-leftist) community under that exact excuse. After they dealt with the Violentacrez incident, they went from a user-driven site to an admin-driven site with highly-left leanings.

  14. Seems like they don't like the target on Department of Justice Demands Facebook Information From 'Anti-Administration Activists' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    There seems to be no problem with tech disclosures as long as it hits conservatives.

  15. gurps_npc hates poor people. on California Considers Banning Internal Combustion Engines To Meet Emissions Goals (sacbee.com) · · Score: 2

    All that does is make it so that the well-off can drive whatever they want and that you needlessly restrict what the Rest of Us drive.

    If it can't cause pain for policymakers, then it's a non-starter.

  16. Or better - nothing unless American sized/priced on California Considers Banning Internal Combustion Engines To Meet Emissions Goals (sacbee.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless they can start delivering American-sized & priced (read: Crown Vic sized with ~$25k price tag) alt-fuel vehicles with similar ranges, no sale.

  17. Unfortunately, he is wrong. on Ray Kurzweil Explains Why Technology Won't Eliminate Human Jobs (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    He doesn't have to worry much, but plenty of us have to worry between the threats of AI/ML and globalization.

  18. We are making them, businesses just don't like citizens. Kill every guest worker program, then see to it that citizens take their place.

  19. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. on Richard Stallman vs. Canonical's CEO: 'Will Microsoft Love Linux to Death?' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Stallman is right on it, even if it doesn't extinguish Linux overall.

  20. Remove an avenue of fraud/abuse and you might see a bit more value in that direction.

  21. Nothing new on Silicon Valley Bosses Are Globalists, Not Libertarians (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    It explains their efforts to silence those who dare oppose globalism.

  22. Stalin approves. on Study Finds That Banning Trolls Works, To Some Degree (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    When you purge opposing views, of course it will be effective. That said, the study used a very subjective definition. It used a very specific and politically defined version to classify people.

  23. That's presuming a replacement will arrive in time for and will accept the displaced. So far, AI/ML has proven otherwise.

  24. The economy wrt AI is indistinguishable from a fixed pie, as destruction exceeds replacement - especially for displaced persons.

  25. Gallup had to abuse statistics to come up with that conclusion. That, and they falsely assume that the worker us defective - versus those implementing AI/ML.
