Call me a sceptic if you like; but I read the summary like this...
Apple says this in a press release. Hollywood can provably be seen to have done this but not as well. Apple says that in a press release, Hollywood can provably be seen to have done that but not as well.
Since when did Slashdot become a place for Apple press releases to be hyped up more than they are already?
This is a Slashvertisment... Someone needs to create an ad blocker for these kinds of things!
If the job still gets done it's a good thing that jobs gets replaced by AI. The flaw isn't in who does the work, but how the economic system around it is set up.
But how do we improve the economy when the economists in TFA can't agree?!
"The research could be used for health-tracking apps, baby monitors, and for the military and law enforcement."
The Google Maps cars could use it to automatically update your Google Fit account whist their stealing your wi-fi data and photographing your front door! How's that for progress!

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
I would be fine giving this particular man the death penalty.
That seems a bit harsh! I know his books were sometimes a bit boring but it's a pretty extreme punishment!
Sometimes I go by the handle "a vehicle". Then when I kill someone, their screen says "you were killed by a vehicle". OMG how funny is that???!?!!!???!!! Sometimes even after the 100th time, I'm still falling off my chair, it's friggin' hilarious. I'm like the funniest dude in Halo with my supreme original sharp humor! OMG how 1337 am I?!?!!!!!
There are still signs around the all of the pumps here banning use of a cell phone in a filling station. The current reasons is because they could cause a spark. Is there any evidence of this, or is it another feeling that's become true by repetition?
You're posting this comment on a site that was once called "Chips and Dips".
It's still called Chips and Dips for me. I hated the change, so I resisted it as part of the FuckSlashdot campaign. I set up a personal proxy to automatically rebrand each page load back to Chips and Dips and it's been like that ever since!
for the money you got a lot more than the other home computers: a floppy drive, a computer that had a real operating system, 128K of RAM!
This reads like a marketing thing for IBM. Do you work there? Have you been locked in the basement for 30 years. Dude, the year is 2014, IBM has long since become irrelevant in the home PC market. You can go home. Are they still paying you the salary?
Wikipedia says it only had 64KB RAM. The article says the Commodore 64 was half the price. Maybe that's why it failed.
Bad idea? You mean that if someone passes purposefully incorrect or dangerous data into their RoboCloud that all of them will have access to this poisoned data at once?
Ah, but they've already figured this out. Only robots are allowed to upload to the RoboWeb. Users have to complete a CAPTCHA. If they get it right then they must be human and are therefore blocked from uploading.
Personally, I'd be all for some (rational) TV or poster ads that said something like "cycling without a helmet? You're X times more likely to get a head injury"
The problem with that is that X = 0
Studies have shown that pedestrians are about as likely to get a head injury as cyclists.
Campaigns like the one you're up for suggest that cycling is dangerous - It isn't. Cyclists live longer than car drivers. TV and poster ads should be getting that message across if anything.

Neither of which is a version control system.
Dropbox definitely offers version control.
I thought Google Drive did, but may be wrong; maybe it's just Google Docs that does version control?
My preference would be Google Drive or Dropbox
Real chess players don't blunder... they make tactical bluffs - Just like professional poker players!
If you want to make an Apples to apples comparison (pun intended) when talking about jobs
Was the "jobs" pun intended as well?

Yep - for dropbox I use ""password-dropbox"
For Dropbox, I use this one... Robert'); Select username, password FROM users;--
Stop pretending to be banal, and sit up; it'll ruin your posture.

If you recall, Lincoln was shot a theater
No, I don't recall! How old do you think I am?!
When you wear the presidential hat, nothing you do is ever illegal.
Yeah, but Abraham Lincoln did that and it didn't turn out too well.

There's this marvelous service called a safe deposit box that banks offer...
In the UK at least, banks very rarely offer safety deposit boxes any more:

well, the meat that has as much fat as possible
I don't think you understand what processed food is. It's not the same thing as food that's naturally high in fat.
In my perfect world, everybody would care and I'd have seen this in the morning news.
It's yesterday's news, so it would be stale by this morning. Or do you read dead trees?
BBC had it on the front page last night.

The author of this fine article has obviously no clue what he's talking about.
Agreed.

I tip my hat to the Dutch judges or politicians who reserve judgement
Judges that reserve judgement? That's just ridiculous, not to mention selfish!
If I were a judge I'd hand out judgement freely to anyone who asked for it. Hell, even some who didn't! I'd be dedicated to my job!
