Not only that, but the economy is government heavy and doesn't pay their own people very well, which is why they have to beg young American doctors to work (that's how/why my newly-minted psychiatrist cousin lived there for 6 months).
More amazingly, Microsoft runs a system on the competitor's cloud instead of Azure. (I presume that HockeyApp is an acquisition that they haven't migrated, but still it's amusing.)
I'm concerned that my job will be lost to... Indians, automation and age discrimination. However, in no way shape or form do I "experience fear about losing their job to a robot once a week."
Since the IBT was media even before the existence of New Media, and the Old Media was quite often facile and Yellow, I'm not sure I understand what your point is.
Exactly. poised to revolutionize modern technology and take humans into deep space... someone at the International Business Times doesn't know what "poised" means.
Evidence that early conditions for life were likely more favourable on Mars than on Earth and that life began on Mars and was transferred to Earth? ("Martian meteorites found on Earth" hardly reaches that standard.)
Isn't chemosynthesis much less efficient? That -- to me -- would imply that jump-starting life on Mars or Titan would be significantly more difficult than on Earth.
Terrestrial proto-life had Sol and warm seas agitated by tidal motion, but Mars gets 56% less sunlight, and Titan gets just 1% of Earth's solar energy.
You weren't seriously thinking I was suggesting that, right?
Like I tell my son: I can't read your mind.
For me to read your explicit quote, "people who are working will essentially give their UBI back in taxes", and think, "Well, he didn't really mean what he wrote. He obviously meant something else!" is silly beyond belief.
it's got support from fiscal conservatives as well.
Fiscal conservatives can be wrong too, about how to reduce the deficit: for one thing, firing all those suddenly-redundant HHS (unionized) worker-bees is about as likely as Ronald Reagan rising from the grave to lead another right-wing revolution.

He's trying to mislead people into thinking that something technically significant happened.
"Cry-yyy-yyy-ing over... bandwidth."
"We've been approached ...are very serious about it."
I'm very serious about wanting to pork Laura Torrisi, but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
The "exciting thing" that happened was being approached to do the mission.
What's so fucking exciting about that???
No, it's hasn't really happened.
Is it repeatable?
There are laws in the US that mandate PII be kept secure, and the gov't & people notified of breaches.
That's what puzzles me about this.
Young associate lawyers being "made redundant from lack of work" (now done by OCR and AI) is happening now.
It's not replacing attorney. Instead it's enabling a law firm to do much more without needing to hire more interns and assistants).
Sure it's replacing attorneys. What do you think those assistants are, and what the interns are training to be when they graduate?

Ah, ok.

The issue isn't whether or not life exists in Scotland, but whether or not terrestrial biogenesis could have originate in such an environment.
How it could've started on Mars is no mystery.
But with 56% less sunlight, the likelihood is much lower.

never mentions how that life might have started.

Replacing Linux with a home-rolled kernel?

What, because you can't understand how a percentage works?
I know what percentages are, and I know that "people who are working will essentially give their UBI back in taxes" means "essentially 100% tax rate".
sometimes things can't be fully explained in a few paragraphs.
When did sound bites morph into a few paragraphs?
And, at one point, I wanted a flying unicorn.
Who are you to not know that many students want/need to work their way through school?
Trump did not order the files taken down, having been done under the not-so-watchful eye of Barack "Government should be transparent" Obama.
