. Let's say everyone will get $1000 UBI. Does this mean, that they will earn $1000 more of value?
It's hard t encompass the scale of the "duh" required to reply to your pose.
No, because taxes are raised such that middle income people have no net change, and richer people get taxed a little more. The only difference is poor people get up to $1000 more of value.
It's 2018 and I still can't buy Soylent Green You might recall back in the 60 that by the year 2000 the U.S. would have over 300 million people and we would be starving and eating each other ?
It takes a truly desperate kind of stupidity to quote the failed "predictions" of a sci-fi film as some sort of point against climate science.
Meanwhile the actual hard predictions of global temperatures in that IPCC report have indeed come to pass. Measurements remain well within the predicted error bars.
As a tour de force (or more likely as a sponsored demo) you could certainly write a book with a smartphone or tablet, but it's not efficient.
50 shades of Gray was written on a Blackberry. It sold more copies in a day than the sum total of your (and most authors) entire output will sell over your lifetime.
Tiny improvements aren't going to be enough to force the entire world to shift, we'd need to see something on the level of typing as fast as you can think/speak the words
Whne I'm programming, I can already type vastly faster than I can think, and I'm a solidly average typist.
On the plus side with your new round of non-sequiteurs you've at least stopped telling me (and the whole of slashdot) abot your weird sex fantasies about me.
It seems you are intent on demonstrating my point that wild claims on the internet have absolutely zero credibility. What I don't really get is how you don' seem to realise that this doesn't reflect very well on your original claim that you've done so much for random unspecified people.
In short.... they seem like a sprawling non-profit that has a disproportionately large and disproportionately expensive operation leeching off the public good done by unpaid volunteers to provide personal salaries for an entity that serves itself and uses donations to grow itself and pay administrative overheads to people that own itself, whereas an organization of 10% of its size would be more than adequate to support the technical infrastructure and systems that the unpaid volunteers doing 99% of the real work require for all languages of the global free encyclopedia to exist.
I have noticed that an awful lot of people underestimate the complexity of large operations especially when the end goal seems simple. Running something with the size and reach of wikipedia is not simple.
You probably think "it's just a website" and you could host it. You couldn't.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people won't accept my ethical values.
Yep that's pretty likely.
It is much easier to scream about Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Bigotry than it is to form a coherent code of ethics that has deliberative rational thought behind it (even if you disagree with my rationale).
Ethics: women, gays and brown people shouldn't get uppity.
The issue remains whose ethics are we talking about?
As usual you're just being a JAQoff. Better than screeching about SJW thoguh I guess. If only there was already a field dedicated to the topic.
there's a huge gender imbalance in nursing and primary education as well; when will society get around to 'fixing' that?
If you's spent that time typing search terms into google you'd have found that people do care and are trying to fix it. But instead you come here and JAQ off.
Pretending computers have a bias vs anything is really dumb
Pretending they don't flies in the ace of both old school statistics and machine learning. In fact it's such a well known problem that there's a word for it. The word is "bias".
That these techinques have bias is very well known, and that's before you get into the other well known problems of imbalanced classes and flat out biased input data.
So yes, algorithms can be biased. No one seems to baulk at GIGO either. Unless of course the bias is in something they have some sort of quasi-religious fervour about in which case they utterly shit themselves and throw maths out of the window and claim algorithms are utterly perfect.
Ding! ding ding! We have someone who knows nothing about machine learning but it using it to reinforce his biases nonetheless.
The problem is not that the algorithm is racist or misogynist, it's that it's not biased at all
You'd love to think so but no. If you put bad data in you get bad results. ML algorithms pick out correlations but as most of us realise correlation is not causation but the algorithms can't generally tell the difference.
and in case people didn't know you're an idiot, you flag it loud and clear:
Many companies have been fined by the EEOC, not because their hiring process was shown to be biased, but because the outcome of the hiring process did not match the race and gender profile of the candidate pool.
So you're claiming you have 12 million people that are okay with a stranger at a store picking out their meat and produce for them? I don't believe you
It doesn't matter how many brits tell you what life is like in the UK you simply cannot accept it's different from your life in a different country. And all because you personally can't imagine you it can be made to work. Your arrogance is astounding. Smarter people did in fact manage to figure it out.
In the UK it's hit nearly 50% market penetration (that's like 30million people) for occasional use, with about 12 million using it for every single shop.
It's the bubble all over again. Watch out for the burst, like in 2001.
What you don't realise is while the silliest ones like webvan have gone in some countries (e.g. the UK) supermarkets started grocery deliveries in the late 1990s and are still doing it today. The competition is stiffer than ever which is why Amazon got a whole pile of nowhere when it tried to enter the market.
So Snapchat is to Instagram as Slashdot is to Reddit?
FTFY - Digg, seriously?
Slashdot is more like IRC. Not as popular as anything else anymore, but will probably outlive them all. How many things have started, risen, peaked and vanished while slashdot hsa just trucked on regardless?
I mean sure it's been not as good as the old days since before the introduction of user names. The depth on specific topics is often not as much as on very much special interest forums. But I have yet to find a better place for discussion.
What makes you think that people don't get wiser as they get older?
People.
Judging from the proclamations of those young people making the most noise in politics today, progress is torturing all males to death and giving 3-year-olds the vote.

I'm sure Millennials are due to kill QWERTY keyboards any day now.
OMG millenials are here EVERYBODY PANIC!!!11one
People have been trying to kill QWERTRY for far longer than I have been alive.

As a happy swype customer (I still use it) I say good job. I'd never have used it if it wasn't QWERTY.
Well that was a nonsensical response.

What can you realistically do with $20B that you can't do with $10B?
Lord it over someone with $15 billion.
I guarantee I've done more things for more people than you'll ever do.
And I *personally* guarantee I have a bigger willy than you.
Out of interest how much credibility do you think either of our claims has?
Or possibly the wood age.

Yeah there's no way a machine learning algorithm could give crappy results.
That's never ever happened in the history of machine learning ever. Computers and algorithms are prefect and never exhibit bias (only variance).
Fucking moron.

It's a very obvious idea.

Grocery delivery works if you do it right.
