Actually, education is part of the problem here. For generations, Chinese kids have never seen the maps that we use. World maps in Chinese schools have always included most of the region as part of China, even including several countries.
So it will be really hard to convince them that the world is different from the world view that they've been brought up with.
Europe and America also use different maps (traditional Europe at the center vs America at the center), but that doesn't appear to lead to major conflicts.
In the Netherlands bank cards are now blocked by default for use outside of Europe. If you plan to leave Europe you can change this for a certain time period when logged in to the bank. Or you can change it to always be usable everywhere, but you won't be eligible for a refund in case of card fraud.
Try flying somewhere and think of the worldwide cost of security, just because of this endless spiral of hate and revenge. Think how much could have been spent on education instead.
Same with NASA. Practically everybody on this website thinks that it's a shame that NASA's budget keep getting cut. Think what could have been achieved if less tax money was spent on violence to keep the spiral going.
This world is in a terrible spiral of violence, which escalated with 9/11, but according to the religious nuts, that wasn't the start of this spiral. Since then the whole world is suffering from this. I even think that the economic crisis that started in 2008 is partly due to the huge worldwide economic costs of this still worsening spiral of violence.
My initial gut reaction was also in favor of 'preventive culling' on these nutcases, but I have come to the conclusion that a more effective weapon against them would be education. The world needs to educate the masses where these idiots come from, to prevent them from getting any foothold anywhere. It will take a long time, but the end result will be a lot prettier than the battlefields that we see emerging now. Answering violence with violence means we're playing their game instead of our own.
Yes, but the behavior reported in TFA tells me that the matching is probably done too early in the network. That, or the classification process is not as good as a biological one.
I have no experience in this field but instead of asking her to blink her eyes, I'd ask her to move something that's easiest for her, in response to questions. Observe carefully. Maybe it's easier for her to wiggle her toe.
Yes that's a very useful feature, but it could use an extra setting. Currently you can only select cutoff dates. But if you can set those cutoff dates at 0% and 100%, the search results would be sorted by a combination of relevance and age instead of relevance only.
Google could change their search parameters to allow for older hits to be selectably less relevant. That would actually be a useful feature, because when I'm searching for something I'm usually only interested in more current information.
But selectively removing search results can never end well. Consider the job that Winston Smith had, if you want to know what it will eventually lead to.

Of course. For many generations the insects that didn't well enough resemble the plants that they lived on, they got eaten before they could reproduce. So eventually this insect will end up looking exactly like the plant to its predators.

Indeed, it would be interesting to know who has been using this ruling to get pages removed from searches. Because I'd rather NOT hire them.
Is there a search method that would reveal them?
Stan O'Neal isn't even European. Why did he allegedly get to use this European ruling?
ISPs = plural of ISP
U.S. = United States
shithead = mirror

- stop recording to save power?
- use a backup?
Well, obviously your hotword should be: "I do not consent to this search"...
Education?

Because we don't get out much.
14 feet, what an evolution jump. Does it have 7 feet on each side? How about legs? Or arms?
Or how about the holodeck.

Stop using your 'gut' and start educating yourself and using your brain.
If you start reading what I actually said.

Wouldn't they prefer to be called "vertically challenged Irish Americans"?
You make it sound like the rest of the world has no rights, which by the way seems to be the most prevalent American point of view.
Yes, but the behavior reported in TFA tells me that the matching is probably done too early in the network. That, or the classification process is not as good as a biological one.
Apparently these neural nets are taught to classify "images", instead of breaking these images down into recognizable forms and properties first.

No it wouldn't. You can still have all the filters you want, and your ISP can still filter your connection all you want.
