The key to solving the world's most complex problems could be human-machine collaboration.
Oh, you mean that the key to solving the world's most complex problems could be the exact same way complex problems are currently being tackled?
without the existential risks posed by true AI and the technological singularity.
No, you can still have the technological singularity caused by cyborgs, pure computers, pure biology. Certainly, having humans in control of the objectives at every step of the process eliminates some of the worst scenarios, but then again humans aren't particularly trustworthy either.
Send them to Gitmo to be gently questioned about this sabotaging a treaty business. Generally, treat politicians like a regular person and they'll quickly learn to treat others well (ha ha, just kidding they'll pass laws making special exceptions for themselves).
I thought the comparison was brains detecting things? It would be unfair if the senses could not detect it, unless the comparison was with camera/microphone sensitivity.
Simply make it someplace where US IP laws mean nothing,
Trouble is, all such countries have "weapons of mass destruction". A little genocide is no big deal, but don't you dare trample on someone's government-granted monopoly.
I bet a computer would beat a human at finding computer coded messages in images or sounds which to a human seem like nothing more than static. Hm, this audio file seems like it contains a jpg image of a kitten, said no human ever.
Nope, sorry, choice of words has little to do with racism, it's how you arrange them that counts. Plenty of racists say very nasty things using flowery nice-sounding language, it's far worse than your average racist but no one calls them out on it because they didn't use any banned words. In this case Ian was warning that police brutality can affect successful white men too, and not just [short word for "who cares, it's just poor and/or black people"].
For someone who is an ostensibly successful publisher, this person shows a SHOCKING lack of knowledge of one of the central legal protections available to him for internet distribution.
Or understands quite well how to use public outrage as free advertizing.
As I understand it, you only need to claim under penalty of perjury that you own some copyright or another, for example your highschool essay. Then you can cheerfully claim that you believe a movie that predates your essay is infringing.
Seeing how [design patents] cover, once again, ornamental and nonfunctional aspects of a design, getting sued on a UI design patent practically means someone has done something really stupid, like copying the elements of someone's UI design.
All GUI interfaces are functional, copying someone else's GUI serves the function of having more easily recognized controls and saving on training time/learning curve.
Come on, draw your own slider! Use squares instead of circles at the ends! Do something original!
Hell no! We don't need any more GUI "experts" reinventing what the design interface looks like. Anything but original!
It's true -- Google could hire some censors, thereby increasing its costs, increase their liability, piss off its customers, reduce ad revenue, and reduce marketshare. Oddly enough, they have elected not to do so. (Also, it would have had a minimal effect on piracy)
Not much point, really, of going to the moon unless we're going to establish a lunar colony. And odds are asteroid mining is a better investment anyways.
Though it would be nice to be able to go to the moon, if we so choose. And there's probably value in inspiration, too.
the activity of mowing a lawn does not generate enough production of real wealth to fund its own existence.
Then try this experiment: stop mowing your lawn. Don't hire anyone to mow it, and don't mow it yourself for a year. Let me know how that works out for you.
all those that met its low-bandwidth technical guidelines would gain approval.
Specifically, mobile websites should work in the absence of:
JavaScript
SVG images and WOFF font types
iframes
Video and large images
Flash and Java applets
Yes, yes, and yes. When I load a page, I don't want 90% of the data to consist of a pile of scripts that exists mostly to violate my privacy, that stupid new style of in-window "pop-up" frame, or generally almost every one of the "modern advances" in website design. Of course, I wouldn't trust FB to decide which content to allow or not, but it sure would be nice for websites to implement these upgrades.

I'm more interested in whether the 'vandals' will hack the advertisement screens to display streaming video.

You do if you want to sell it.

It is of Paramount importance to promote the progress of science and the useful arts.

Computers still struggle at finding messages and especially meaning in clear, coherent sentences.

Incidentally, what's the difference between a tax and a fee?
Doing smelting in freefall would be difficult, as the separation of impurities only works well under gravity.
In space, you can have as much "gravity" as you want.

Nothing is more scary than when someone wants to pay you to switch to their service.
Can they survive being sat on?
Can it survive a punch in the face?
Build a machine and ask it.
No, that wouldn't work. If he built it wrong, it might give the wrong answer. He should just ask the chatbot from the previous story.
What did you expect from some random coder?
Someone's been watching too much Star Trek. Time-travel is even harder than FTL.
