Came here to say the same thing. Gmail's spam filtering is abysmal. I couldn't find a robust way to flag email as "not spam" either. And what's with the 30day expiry? Then it's just gone? I have missed several bills due to this and had to pay late fees. Hey Google, storage is cheap (and you pioneered this with amazing 1gb limit back in the early 2000s) so how about giving us a few more days to go through the spam that your AI has falsely flagged?
Orwell predicted that the government would mandate telescreens in homes so they could spy on people. He never considered that people would actually _voluntarily pay money_ to put telescreens in their homes! (Google home, Alexa, etc)
OP here. Yes, that might have been where I got mixed up. I guess you could say the BHP crash was remotely instigated, although the original reason it had to be crashed at all was human (driver) error.
A "semi autonomous" large ore train had to be deliberately derailed in November, because it was actually less destructive than letting it continue driving and come close to the "real" rail network or civilisation. More info at https://www.abc.net.au/news/20...
So it's probably too early to claim success for autonomous trains, even though, as stated by earlier posters above, an autonomous train in the outback is a much easier challenge than one in the city. Far fewer level crossings, obstacles or pedestrians.
Simple things like this are the reason I don't fear AI taking over any time soon. After 25+ years of trying, internet filters still don't work. After 20 years of trying, predictive text is no better than it was in 1999.
We're 40 years on from the pollution crisis media induced panic and all of those 'in the next 5 years' predictions haven't come true.....
In those 40 years we have phased out leaded petrol, leaded paint, chlorofluorocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to name just a few. We are still seeing the effects of these, despite them being banned for decades.
So the "crisis" has been reduced, but not eliminated. And it has been reduced because we did something about it, not because the media induced a panic. If anything, the media raised awareness so that we would act.
A hardwired telephone was not active when it was hung up. Mobile telephones are limited by size and battery therefore not so well optimised for listening to all conversations in the room. A "smart speaker" in every room has much higher coverage than a couple of smart phones lying around that may or may not be turned on, have an active data connection, and be well-placed to listen.
Sounds like windows networking to me. Apply the same settings three times, get three different results. Maybe this time you'll be able to ping reliably. Was it those settings you put in, or random voodo?
Ice cores are very accurate. They have a resolution of single years. (Look for patterns of winter/summer accumulation) Trapped atmospheric gases show atmospheric composition, isotope ratios are a reliable indicator of temperature. We have ice cores going back hundreds of thousands of years. Posting mobile or I'd find some links.
He didn't need to say "MacBook" at all, he could have just said "laptop." He wouldn't have said "the light from my HP Spectre" in the same way. At least not without being shouted down as a complete sellout. Unless that's what he meant by "obnoxious."
In many other countries, nutrition info is given by (seemingly arbitrary) "serving size," but also "per 100g." This allows easy comparison between products. Perhaps USA consumers should lobby for this too?
"Life expectancy at birth." After the industrial revolution we got a lot better at treating illnesses that used to kill very young children, e.g. measles, polio, whooping cough. This skewed the statistic way up. Much more than people dying at 70 instead of 75 due to air pollution.
And the ozone thinning that surrounds "the hole" spreads significantly north of just Antarctica. If you geography is a bit rusty, this includes continents such as Australia, Africa and South America. Also other countries like New Zealand. You may also be interested to hear that Australia has the highest per-capita rate of skin cancer in the world. The Montreal Protocol was a resounding success and as other posters have stated, sometimes the truth is inconvenient. Actions have consequences, but sometimes the consequences are worth it.
USA food labels have nutrition information listed "per serving" which makes it hard to compare two different products. In, for example, Australia, labels have a "per serving" column an a "per 100g" column so that foods with different serving size can be compared.
USA labels also frequently seem to have a weird mix of imperial and metric units.
Both of these differences lead me to believe that _someone_ is benefiting from it being hard to quantify what is in a food product, and also hard work compare two different food products.

Some good insights there, well-written. Perhaps the free exchange of thought on the internet isn't dead yet.

What makes you think the airline would pass the savings on to the customer?

Unless it was with audio tapes on a Commodore. Those were pretty flaky.
Partly due to hydrogen:

Sorry for the quora link.
I wonder if it's worth farming these bacterial to generate hydrogen commercially?

Just in case you're not trolling:

How many kids today actually write programs for their phone?
You could delete the Twitter app from your phone. You probably won't miss it.
Depends on the boss. Maybe the boss can see that Bill is a time-wasting sycophant.

GM are doing OK now. But the word "stability" is a bit of a stretch for a company that had to be bailed out by the government a few years ago.

You mean those things that Winamp did in 2001?

We already drive cars with bombs attached to the steering wheel (airbags) and it hasn't helped.
I think they were called the Optimus. Not sure if they're still being made. And yes, it looks like they start(ed) at about 1000USD.
