the IBM PC Compatible desktop won, because with a hacked BIOS it was easy to make a fully compatible system, and sell many units all PC Compatible
Well then, which computer really was "best"? I suggest that the PC's modular and somewhat open architecture made it the better product.
But GP's point is well taken - the problem to solve is how to pay content creators the royalties they deserve. Posting music without the right to do so and collecting advertising revenue from it is theft. If YouTube is the platform consumers prefer then solve the problem with compensation instead of trying to legislate streaming over YouTube.
Technology experts worry that blocking the export of A.I. to other countries, or tying it up in red tape, will help A.I. industries flourish in those nations -- China, in particular -- and compete with American companies.
So the NYT thinks exporting the technology to other countries after the US made the investment to develop it will stop the other countries - China in particular - from competing. I don't follow that argument.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike (now I-76) collects tolls that were specifically earmarked in the state constitution for maintenance and upgrades of the turnpike system. It worked well for years...until Ed Rendell was governor.
When he was running for office he swore he wouldn't take money from the rest of the state and send it to Philadelphia but he did anyway, including some accounting shenanigans to divert the turnpike tolls (state police pensions are considered turnpike maintenance aren't they? How else could he fund the big increases he rewarded the unions for their support after raiding the general revenue funds for other purposes?).
GM is adjusting to the transition from internal combustion engines to electric; it's not one manager or one company, it's the entire industry. Some product lines and manufacturing facilities are obsolescent. Society will move on.
He also claims that capitalism is expanding at an unprecedented rate into previously uncommodified geographical, cultural, and spiritual realms.
This guy has no room to talk about gobbledygook.
But that aside it shouldn't surprise anyone that capitalism is expanding; it's the best economic system of the alternatives we have. Communism has failed every time it's been attempted.
Mitt Romney is running for the Senate seat Orin Hatch is leaving. You'll be hearing more from the Democrats related to all the wonderful things they do in Utah, like this - taking credit for making the Internet safe for your children even though Wyden muddled in after the fact.
"Horrifying," Zeynep Tufekci, a professor and frequent tech company critic, wrote on Twitter about Duplex. "Silicon Valley is ethically lost, rudderless and has not learned a thing."
The laws let people do this, whether it's an Apple data center, a nuclear power plant or wind generators. You can't pick and choose which the law applies to.
Most likely, it's the typical American aversion to paying taxes.
New York has a very high tax rate, including a Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District surcharge. The problem is the cycle of higher taxes cause people to demand higher wages, so the tax dollars aren't available for anything else.
Hopefully by the time this Fountain of Youth therapy is available to a population the people will also have the where withal and good sense to practice family planning. Earth would be a great place to live if we could get the population under a billion and keep it there.
Nah. My spam inbox is full of coupon offers, one day only sales, are you still interested questions, etc., etc. Everyone is constantly poking and baiting.

No, but the Paris Climate Accords are the only reason you would want to measure it to ensure compliance. There's plenty of other work ongoing.
300 tons of bait, the actual amount of poison is much lower
Self-aware AI is science fiction, and science fiction is fiction.
Scott Huffman, an executive on Google's Assistant team, said the response to Duplex was mixed. Some people were blown away by the technical demos,
I suppose it would be pretty horrifying to see people blown to smithereens by the demo.
"Horrifying," Zeynep Tufekci, a professor and frequent tech company critic, wrote on Twitter about Duplex. "Silicon Valley is ethically lost, rudderless and has not learned a thing."
Both.
No problem. Bring all of them to IT Services asap, we'll get right on it...tomorrow at the latest.
Yes, that's true. But unions are not the only market force. Hence my response to GGP's comment that they "need" a union.
The article's headline quotes a professor who said the technology is horrifying. But yes, he was horrified.
If you had bothered to read the article you would know that market forces are already solving the problem.
There's a big difference between:

The only delusion here is assuming that would never happen.
The delusion is thinking that it would stop at basic income.
Most likely, it's the typical American aversion to paying taxes.

This is a job made for AI...

Dash cams that have GPS usually have both speed camera and speed limit warnings.
Anonymous internet tough guy. Scary.

Not so much privacy as their SJW agenda. Remember, this is the organization that brought us Rust.
he graduated Harvard Law school magna cum laude
Which still means he could have been in the lower half of the class. At the time he was there most graduates attained that "honor".
