"However, a key question that must also be addressed is whether the product does anything else, such as behaving in ways that are unintended or malicious,"
Like "off label" usage of prescriptions, using a frozen leg of lamb as a murder weapon, or spending money to fund all things evil and destructive? My point is that a product can and will do anything else, such as behaving in ways that people decide and control, be it malicious or mundane. Nobel invented dynamite, should he get his own prize for breakthroughs in bank vaults?
This really sounds like a load of toad.
Actually, since us humans evolved from water to land, sea-creatures seem like a good starting point for studying Artificial Intelligence.
Especially the brainy mammals that crawled back into the ocean and grew a big nostril on the back of their necks. Dolphins and whales are genuinely intelligent and don't need AI in their robots.
The political accolades are deserved as well, but lets face it, southern Australia has a great deal of land and resources relative to the population and demand. I would expect higher standards from those who can meet them. I'm sure Australia will aim high in spite of their clear leadership, and their advantageous location.
Go is popular in both Japan and China. The name Go is Japanese but the game originated in China.
That makes perfect sense since people in Japan originated from the mainland, and apparently they brought their stuff. I travel such a long road to the obvious. Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so. Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so.
Lawsuits are generally an unreliable alternative to income earned by full time employment. You can't sue "anonymous" any more than an organization should base a hiring decision on "anonymous" references or testimony.
Perhaps, the worst job market in decades is as much to blame as the candidate's desperation to come to terms with the hard reality: there are too many people available for hire, including and perhaps especially, those already employed and willing to jump ship, laterally. It seems "poaching" options are psychologically irresistible to committees who refer or decide hiring candidates that are a safe bet for a covered rear end.
....and a dash of irony and a twist of silly symbolic gesturing. Its a pictogram like a Chinese character delivered from the government of Chinese characters. Its a quaint gesture of authority that is a very effective at getting our attention, but ultimately completely ineffective of meaningful results. They may delay, but they will not be successful at censoring reality from the appropriate or prescribed Chinese social conscious. I always liked the Peking Duck....sorry to see it duck duck Go.
How does mozilla expect sponsored advertisement to exist without a conflict of interest? It can't. Mozilla is now beholden to and will become ever increasingly dependent upon ad revenue, which in turn will ensure mozilla projects and opinions will be screened before release to meet the advertisers approval..
Exactly.
Perverse incentives dilute the mission. Just like PBS gradually becoming another corporate media ho. It's prostitution plain and simple. Call it lobbying, or fundraising, or whatever you like, it doesn't change the fact that accepting this revenue, in this way, makes you their bitch.
I I have no doubt this lawsuit will ultimately fail, because the Oregon attorney general doesn't have the technical ability to prove the fraud and lies. The state has already proven they don't understand what they're doing. We're about to get a second demonstration.
With a name like Oracle I guess they saw that one coming....
I really have to wonder if there are ulterior motivations at work here.
Indeed.
So it goes in the realm of social science, public information, and journalism of any color. How much of the phenomenology is social engineering, propaganda, or product placement? Where do the lines of credibility blur if in fact there are also ulterior motives being served by some, while by others the intent is legitimate. In situations that are varied and complex whereby "all of the above" possibilities are valid, how can we proceed with a one size fits all response that could possibly be adequate? This is why we must take the good with the bad and keep an open mind, else the ulterior motives you consider may become a more potent threat, in fact.
I believe that the problems in education are not unlike the problems that Americans encounter in living their lives. Its very hard for an individual to manage a successful life these days, even with an education. For parents with children and scarce resources and education its even harder. If year round schooling can be part of a routine for working parents so that they can consistently manage work and supervision of their children while they are at work, then I believe that will have a profoundly positive effect on the overall quality of education in the United States. If we can accommodate the lives of families to be successful in their daily routines, then our education system will find routine success as well. Dropping out has always been our biggest educational problem , so this is a sensible place to START.
I recommend all Star Trek Conventions. You'll have to flash back a century in order to flash forward a few millennia, but its worth the head trip.... . Of course, attendees are not prone to having sex with actual women, in person.
Google needed to sort out users versus user accounts. They had to distiguish all of the duplicate human beings, as separate from their various accounts. The high value data is gmail storage, google docs, and especially picasa web albums. Google sites hosted my web site experiments, and docs and forms, cloud stored my binaries, and voice relayed to my phone numbers, wallet, etc etc. The process of attempting to force feed Google+ to me, though futile, still accomplished their primary objective: It functioned to consolidate my multiple user ids and to figure out what I claim is the meaningful data.
While Google+ is a marketing fail, it was a database validation success, while also changing the overall TOS. This process unified various random accounts to identify the actual user. It combined the data of browsing habits, purchases, phone numbers, handles, ips, mac addresses, adress books, etc. They were all mined and combined to fully implicate individuals accessing anything Google. The fact is, that until all of this Google+ bullshit, I had quietly tucked away thousands of photographs which filled several accounts to the brink. The process of contending with the change forced me to access everything which eliminated the redundancy of me as multiple users. Now Google can be sure its all one of me, which they knew all along, but this just confirms my usage profile and actual breathing existence. I'm not worth as much money to advertisers if I am a redundant user already counted and sold. Just one of me is their assurance to clients so there's no double dipping on real head count. I feel so special, like social currency of unique importance to statistical metrics....

Finally an answer to the question: "What looks like an octopus and is filled with sea men?"
drainbramage - The airport lost my luggage at the Cabbage Blaim. (I must have lost my head)

....but its inferior to octopus when served on rice with wasabi.

I thought the Chinese loved duck.
They also love Go. The name should have been foolproof.
I thought it was the Japanese who loved go... or am I just being racist?
They all look the same.
Now There's the racist.. slant...

Or else we'll wish we were.
No wonder world leaders make such short sighted decisions.
Plus the fact that nobody has perfected the crystal ball technology yet.

It's called "theory" for a reason
Because that's the word that has come to represent the meaning of the word "theory"? I'm sorry, I can't work out what point you're trying to make.
I think it might be circular logic, which might suggest a closed universe (and reruns).
Its like deja vu all over again.
I just want to bang, bang, bang!
I almost thought that was a Haiku:
Methane and ice sheets - Just like one of the space moons; As well as comets.
Archaea icebergs
Loves Betty,Veronica
"Just the Tip", he begs...
Researchers led by John Priscu drilled down into the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and pulled up organisms called Archaea
Were they called this before we pulled them up? Did they tell us they were called Archaea?
If I recall from my comic books Archaea tried to breed with Betty and Veronica.
I knew they were frigid, but this is the first I'm hearing about their meth usage.

A mouse looked so stupid walking around and around in circles looking for the car keys.
An older mouse was screaming at the cheese "Do I know you?" in a mousey voice...
It was totally embarrassing.

The spaceport will be the first privately-owned vertical rocket launch facility in the world, and will target commercial customers
I dunno, but with all of those guns in Texas the word target would make me nervous. They might just think its a big ol' coot shoot...

If Pizza Hut changes its name to Poop On Bread Hut and starts selling poop on bread, and you still shop there, that's on you.
Eewwww,
I hate Poop on Bread.... Hut.
Pizza is dead, too.
No matter how rich and obnoxious the fucker will eventually drop dead.
