  1. Wow, will offer things like migraine, common cold and tension headache? The AI singularity is near! Is that was AI nutters call "Deep Learning"? What a joke.

    How do you know OzPeter is not doing those things? I don't want unknown random temporary people living in my neighborhood either.

    I've always noticed the gun nuts can't even spell "Amendment" properly.

  4. I never understood privacy on Russian Bill Requires Encryption Backdoors In All Messenger Apps (dailydot.com) · · Score: -1

    I never understood why people think networks like the Internet are supposed to be private. They weren't designed to be originally. In fact, the first networks were broadcast: every node "talked" to every other node. Networks are supposed to facilitate communications. They aren't designed to hide communications. In fact in a peer to peer network like the internet, every node is supposed to be able to talk to other nodes. I know a bunch of people are going to get angry at this but the fact is if you want secrecy, don't use a communication network like the Internet. I know it is hard to believe, but it is possible! I'll wait for all the blah, blah, blah, I hate you Aspie responses, but if you look at the history of networks in general, security was an afterthought that was tacked on top (poorly).

  5. No, not originally. In fact on the first networks every node "talked" to every other node (broadcast). Networks aren't secure.

    That must be why Sourcefire and Bluecoats sales are through the roof. They must not be US companies?

  7. The point of a network connected device is to, uh, network. To communicate with other endpoints. There is no security in a network. I don't know why people think networks are supposed to be secure. They aren't. They are supposed to facilitate communication, not hide it.

  8. It does require new infrastructure because the current road system is too chaotic. The current "tests" are done on carefully selected/highly mapped city areas. It isn't even close to being ready.

  9. Correct. But how do you end up pinned between the car and the brick mailbox? Don't you just, um, get out of the way when the car starts rolling?

  10. Keonig? The cofffee maker guy?

  11. Sounds unlikely. How would he get pinned behind the car and a mailbox if we was by the side of the car? Unless he got out the get something from the trunk.

  12. The only thing that people like JJ Abrams gives a shit about is money.

  13. Not just cool. He was brilliant. Brilliant.

    You are dumb. The people targeted for this program were poor. Very poor. This isn't about iPads. Get a grip.

    You are dumb. He wasn't giving them the chickens to eat. The idea is that small numbers would be distributed to poor rural people who would them breed them and raise them for income. Obviously the Bolivian governmental official doesn't want the competition to the established large chicken producers.

    Surely they mean "deep learning" and "AI" and "neural network"? Don't these people know how to generate hype? Algorithms are so 1990.

    Yes you always have the right to sue and also a jury trial. The reason this is good is because any damages are minimal (it is a fucking $100/month service). No need to clog up the legal system.

    If the science is in, then why haven't the acceleration of emissions stopped? Didn't everyone agree? Isn't it settled science? Or are you saying that everyone who drives a car is a denialist? Money talks. People don't REALLY believe in AGW.

    No it isn't impossible. The companies just don't want to INVEST their money to moderate or curate their content. You can be damned sure they do curate some of their content. These companies have hundreds of billions of dollars in CASH. They could do it if they wanted to, but they don't want to. They could hire 100,000 people to do it. They don't want to spend their money. But it isn't impossible, they just need to change the way they do business.

    Then you would go out of business. No one is going to pay for something that is "free". The money that drives these sites are the ad companies which are desperate to push their ads that everyone ignores.
