... and my worthless opinion is that significantly more jobs will be destroyed than created. All disruptions are not the same. Air travel creating steward positions is a shit example - entirely different type of disruption. As AI moves more and more into mainstream, the jobs created will tend to be higher skilled jobs (development/maintenance/etc of the automations) and the jobs displaced will be low skills jobs (freight hauling/taxis/stocking/cashier/food preparation). Without significant assistance to gain more skills, those displaced workers will be shit out of luck.
"a hacker could manually validate their usernames of interest by trying to sign up, then automate an attack on the sign in page."
The fuck? He drops that like it's trivial. The whole point is not allowing to blast usernames until you find one that exists. You throttle EVERYTHING. Signups from an IP. Logins from an IP. Login attempts to a specific account. Everything has throttles. I think the author is seriously off on their reasoning.
It's not for this. And no, an SD card would be easy. Put it in your mouth, between your buttcheeks, taped to your skin, almost any way to get it through. Or just put it in your wallet with your phone.
These scans are only searching for bombs/guns, and only have a 5% success rate.
Theatre.
Actually, it's walking on thin ice. The right to assemble is guaranteed in the first amendment, and implicit in that is the right to travel. It can be argued, quite rationally, that travel by plane is part of that. I want to travel to Hawaii? Sure, you could take a boat and spend a week round trip in transit, but that's quite a penalty.
And what stops a nefarious government from starting a "no public transit" list? And if they revoke your drivers license? Where do we draw the line? What if we're in a not-too-distant future where private ownership of cars is a thing of the past and you can be denied any travel that you can't walk to?

Pretty timely, and hopefully more people in the scientific sector will take this approach: winning the hearts and minds of the public isn't primarily a facts-driven task. It's one that has to take into account the origin of the fears and is as much a public relations issue as "THE SCIENCE SAYS...".
Even if the science does say:)
That's not accurate. They are selling you a service by a standard measure, and that should be an absolute measurement. When you buy gasoline, you are buying a fairly exact amount, and the pumps are regularly measured to ensure they're providing the stated amount. If the petrol station started using their own "proprietary" measurements? GTFOOT.
Half the apps are not removable without rooting. No, I don't want a Blockbuster app, Let's Golf 2(barbie?), NFL Mobile, Verizon's inferior Navigaor, or any of the other 8 apps you're forcing me to look at!
"Light can travel through a silk strand as easily as it does through a fiber optic cable...... it had about four orders of magnitude more loss than the glass."

No, this isn't what they get paid for - or we'd have gladiatorial, "to the death" type spectacles. And this affects HIGH SCHOOL students, not just paid athletes.
Accidental risk vs systemic risk are two entirely different beasts.
Sorry, bullshit on that. Growing up, we hid in cupboards, under the kitchen sink, in the fridge, everywhere when playing hide and seek. My dad actually went through several plate glass windows in one game. You're severely underestimating the imagination of children, or you had a crappy childhood.
Does anyone remember the old days of Everquest? Now THERE were consequences. You've played played the character for YEARS as opposed to a measly 50 hours, and you kill one random fish and "Feel the hatred of an entire race"... Or part of your epic quest requires you to sacrifice being able to enter your home city without being attacked.
So people worrying about small forks in a game where you can always just start over make me chuckle inside.
Oh, how soft we've gotten... and I'm sure the Barbarians of Halas still hate my ranger, as well as the High Elves, just for killing that Royal Fish in Lake Rathetear...
Consequences make you care.
It has to do with genetics.

Sorry, I just don't bury my head in the sand. Eugenics will come - it's just a matter of time, and how it happens depends on whether the people with the ability to actually accomplish it have WMDs.
It's not racism...it's realism. And I'm not cream of the crop, so it's not like I'm self-promoting.
My small company lost over $25,000 to google over this... Google was providing "high quality" clicks that were producing one sale in over 1200 clicks. I could walk down the street and slap people across the face and tell them to buy my product and I'd get more sales than one per 1200 people.
They're all dirty.
Until advertisers figure out and only advertise on selected websites vs the shotgun approach, OR the major search engines take the time to have sale-based payment instead of Pay-Per-Click, the screwing will continue.
Using the IE Tab doesn't spawn an iexplore.exe process. It runs off of explore.exe which is always running. And if you have it set up only for a list of specific pages that require IE, any random phishing site will NOT be on that list, and will render in FireFox.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but if someone is going to not be able to use firefox because of a single website, I'd rather see them use IE on that specific site and firefox for the rest.
I would suggest This Firefox Plugin. Works like a dream - you can with a right click open any currently open tab in a new tab, rendered with IE instead of FireFox. You can also set specific websites (update.microsoft.com, etc) to automitically open with IE instead of FireFox.
Best part for a web developer - they each have seperate caches, so I can have multiple logins to the same sites for testing purposes:)
Before their whole PPC empire comes crashing down in a massive class action lawsuit - I've been reading about more and more of these: http://www.iambanned.com/index.php/topic,56.0.html. Their current PPC advertising is doomed - it was from the moment they allowed any joe with a parked domain to list their advertisers.

I mean, FFS, it's in the goddamn name. It's like remaking Pirates of the Caribbean with Cowboys instead of Pirates.
I apologize. I blame the lack of coffee.
