  1. Smokey and the Bandit Remake.. on Self-Driving Cars Could Cost America's Professional Drivers Up To 25,000 Jobs a Month (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sensing a Smokey and the Bandit remake, only this time with an Automated Truck...!!!!

  2. Can you Copyright a Dictionary? on Can You Copyright a Joke? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    If you can copyright a dictionary then all derived works would also be copyrighted....?

  3. Watch after the Movie on Our Obsession With Trailers Is Making Movies Worse (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I like to watch trailers after I see the movie. I don't mind most trailers, but lots of times I will close my eyes and ears so I don't see them. I don't want to see the images that might spoil it later. They are to long and do reveal to much, I'd prefer if they would leave you hanging

    Trailers are supposed to get you excited about the movie, but its all marketing. In fact the trailers are usual done by a company not associated with the production, their specialty is just trailers.

  4. Red Mars Blue Mars Green Mars on Buzz Aldrin To NASA: Retire the International Space Station ASAP To Reach Mars (space.com) · · Score: 1

    If you have not read Red Mars, Blue Mars, Green Mars and your interested in what Musk is trying to do and Mars, then I suggest you get reading.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Most of the plan has been laid out there and there are quite a few similarities to what he and anyone else will have to do to survive there and some of the other issues that will happen on a planet that takes a year or more to get to. Think New with a new president.

    Lets just leave all the telephone sanitizes here though.

  5. 1) The Taxes would never be used for the proper thing.
    2) Companies would move out of the area
    3) They would start calling them something else and they the law would be changed, and then they will call them something else, in an endless loop.
    4) This stop progress
    5) The companies making these service robots would be funded by the city to make them, so there is a conflict of interest
    6) I doubt the people being replace amount to a large tax income anyways.
    7) Find other creative ways to solve the problem instead of Taxing everything all the time!

  6. Send 1/2 the population on Trump Has Grand Plan For Mission To Mars But Nasa Advises: Cool Your Jets (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Just send the 1/2 of the population that will be displaced by the AI revolution to Mars, we will all be fine then.

  7. We need Will Wright and SimMars NOW!

  8. 1/2 the Population on VC Founder Predicts AI Will Take 50% Of All Human Jobs Within 10 Years (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess this means that we will be allowed to have 2 or 3 wives/husbands in the future.

    One income maker and the others that are married to him/her will be free to do what they want.

    1/2 working + 1/2 free = 1 whole.

  9. Ebooks all the way on As Print Surges, Ebook Sales Plunge Nearly 20% (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Ebooks and pdf's all the way, so tired of hauling around boxes of books, and I still have them all, but I can put hundreds on my iPad and switch around and I will always have them all with me when ever I want to read something else, or look up references.
    I find the EPub format is better with the off color background.
    I love books and old books and the paperback novel format and going into real bookstores and browsing, but I now I just get the ebooks.

  10. Yes I would love to see it on Elon Musk Outlines His 'Boring' Vision For Traffic-Avoiding Tunnels (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason there is so much traffic and politics is because people don't like change and then they think they know better. Its people like Elon that don't listen to them and just go out and make the change. Don't listen to those that don't think we need change, or want to spend years studying what the change will do. Make smart decisions and go for it.

  11. That's ok, you can work on your own project, we will just replace you with a robot :)

    It turns out that Rockstar is not so happy about them using their software with out asking first:

      “We welcome discussions about the use of our technology to help further academic research, but it’s obviously not appropriate for corporations to take our work and use it for their own financial interests or for researchers to distribute unlicensed copies of our code as part of their work without first seeking our permission,” the company said.

  14. This is better for Space Travel as Hot stuff in Space might not be so cool.

  15. Re:That brogrammer vision thing on How Tilt Went From Hot $375 Million Startup To Fire Sale (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes it's called Vemo and has already been done.

  16. Re:Copied... from China? on How Tilt Went From Hot $375 Million Startup To Fire Sale (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes sounds like WeChat stuff, But the giving of money is more socially accepted there, then in America. Also WeChat does some stuff that might be considered gaming here. I guess these guys didn't quite understand their business, I think it could work, but you have to be innovative not, just talkative.

  17. Understanding how work gets done on Disruptive AI Bots Are Aleady Delivering Radical Leaps In Productivity (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    As we understand how people do work and optimize on that work using technology then yes the systems will start taking over that work. This has been happening since the steam engine. The work today is more complex, but selling items to people is the same and it can be optimized. The business that use technology in a different way to gain an advantage will win out over those that don't.
    The current AI works for some things and not others, good a pattern recognition, but it will need to have a better higher level decision maker if it's going to do something at the creative human level.

  18. I agree, Slashdot used to be the place to report these things and then have an intelligent discussion about the ideas. Once and awhile we get one of those, but most of the time it's just a 'your crazy, get out of here' reaction.

    Maybe all of this is not true, but I'm sure some of it is and it's an area that we should put money into more research.

  19. Re:Why humanoid? on Russia Wants To Send A Gun-Shooting Robot To The ISS (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Its not that the human form is the best, it's just that we can't even get them to do anything yet, so it's a start. Once we solve all those problems, then you will see many more designs.Yes walking is hard, climbing stairs and opening doors is hard and the massive metal bodies are not easy to move.

    Soft robots will come soon.

    Also the world is build for humans, seats are build so humans can recline in with a seat belt, the height of things, like elevators and doors are all built around a personal space. If you make something that is outside of that space, or can't use human tools. then you have to re-design everything.

  21. Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry on Microsoft Finally Reveals What Data Windows 10 Really Collects (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    I have:
    Set the settings to Basic.

    Disabled it in the registry keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
    added the keyword AllowTelemetry and set it to 0.

    Changed the Group Policy level to Disabled:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection And Preview Builds\Allow Telemetry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection

    Disabled the services, and killed the processes:
    - Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service.
    Connected User Experiences and Telemetry process
    dmwappushsvc process

    Rebooted the machines

    And the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry still shows up once and awhile.

    And this has happened on several machines.
    So its still there and still comes back and its still collecting data.

  22. Are they going to Reboot Abbot and Costello also?

  23. Re:Sad thing is... on There's A New New JavaScript Framework (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes but there is no 'New New' framework every day...

  24. Now that Amazon is spending Big Bucks to make movies and TV shows, they want to stop people from getting them for free.

  25. The Robot Revolution Begins on Amazon and Walmart Are In An All-Out Price War That Is Terrifying Big Brands (recode.net) · · Score: 0

    And so the robot revolution begins.

    How are they going to get low prices? By using robots and automated tools to keep the costs down.

    And in turn the people currently making the products will not be needed.

    And there go all the jobs, just so we can have cheaper things.

    Don't blame the robots when the super stores want to fight each other over cheaper prices.
