It was a change. Many people whined like babies when it happened. I am on the beta and while it was initially a shock, I'm not a moron who can't adapt. The change to separate friend content from publisher content was an excellent idea. This was similar to the backlack against Facebook when they launched Timeline.

Not at all, this version is complete crap...astrophysicists would give up because their field suddenly gets advanced by thousands of years? Uh no, real astrophysicists would learn the new stuff and almost immediately start moving forward again with the new standard.
Hustling is the perfect word to use because this is absolutely that...a hustle. Teach ethics by acting ethically. Universities are where a much more sinister and impactful "fake news" starts.
And you can't do anything but suppress overtly racist content, if it's in your purview to do so. Anything beyond that is out of bounds and should not be suppressed no matter how sure you are that it is somehow part of a larger racist message. If you throw the baby out with the bathwater, you've gone too far.
Yes, exactly that. Are jews being autocompleted to Are jews evil? isn't going to make me think "oh jews are evil". That's not how that sort of thing works.
Well, I for one don't care because even if I had seen the alert on twitter I can promise you I would not be going back to twitter after that. Who would? What's the point?
I'd blame them both. Short of the system design being wrong to where "test" sends the actual alert, there is some blame for the operator. Yes, bad to put such an important selection right next to the test version of it, but the operator of such a system better be very proficient in using the system, otherwise that's a huge risk.
AI can answer "What causes it to rain?"...meh
AI can answer "Will it rain anywhere I'll be tomorrow?"...okay, that is better
AI can answer "What will the weather be 6 months from now when I want to go on a cruise?"..now you've got my attention.
While it may not be a huge deal, YouTube casting to Fire TV/stick doesn't work with this method. It was something I used, but now I can't. Wish I could, but not going to cry about it.
While games like BattleZone and America's Army are among many attempts by the armed forces to make use of publicly available gaming engines, this is different. Battlezone may have never even seen the light of day for training use and would only have given the most tertiary data points.
The difference here, and why it is something new, despite your out of hand dismissal, is how they are collecting data from the players and how they are hoping to use it. This isn't to train soldiers, but to understand where warfare will go in the future.
To clarify, Canada hasn't chosen to use smoking or obesity as the way to defer procedures covered under universal healthcare, but they have reduced services. They chose to make everyone wait longer. Either way, both methods are just delaying the inevitable.
Yes it has. Canada has seen an explosion in the cost of providing universal healthcare. So much so that they have to ration care, have caps on the number of procedures in a given year, which leads to longer wait times. Some simple research will show you the same results. It is dying under its own weight. Choices are simple: tax more or reduce services. Either way it will get back to the same point again. Something people don't seem to get is that there will never be a time where there is "enough" for everybody. Even if everyone on the planet was a doctor, you'd still have limited supplies of equipment and medicine needed to treat everybody.
Just because they know your prior salary doesn't mean you have to accept what they offer. Quit being a loser and fight for what you want. Be ready to walk away if it's not as much as you want. If you take it because you can't afford to be out of work or whatever then you are stating implicitly that you are only worth that much. Don't EVER rely on government regulation to save you. That's a fragile safety net to put your self worth on. You can use it if you want, but if you rely on it, you're destined for disappointment and failure.
Maybe it's the water you spilled on it that you don't want to admit? Or maybe Geniuses aren't actually thoroughly trained in all computer hardware diagnostics as you seem to think they are? These aren't typically electrical engineers. They aren't dumb, but they aren't likely able to tear down a computer, find and fix a broken connection, and put it back together again. You're just as likely to run into the Genius crew moonlighting as a McD cashier.
If this was somehow novel maybe. But it isn't. This isn't the magic schoolbus. This post was a thinly veiled attempt at furthering a political viewpoint.
If this was a post on a local New England forums, perhaps. But this is posted on Slashdot which MEANS it is meant to be about climate change because ZOMG climate change posts have become a major topic. This in no way was meant to be a post about the interesting science behind the change in color in leaves associated with Fall.
Completely political as "unseasonably" [cold|warm|rainy|snowy] is not new. It's neither a sign that climate change is suddenly a bigger issue, nor is it a sign that climate change isn't an issue. It neither says that climate change is notably man-made, nor that climate change is completely natural. It is a story meant specifically to ignite ignorantly passionate arguments so that people will donate money to those that champion their side of it.

As either a joke or an inability to read the article, this fails.

Maybe have the AI read the farmer's almanac?
It can still work, it's just a very high risk investment as most high payoff investments tend to be.
By creating/joining a war on it, they are in fact surrendering to that which does not exist.

Because they can change...

lower the bar! We need dumber fire fighters! What a great idea. Moron. The justice department is racist.

$15 / hour isn't that much more...

So weird that this even exists...just another reminder that I have basically no chance of ever understanding law...
