IANAE (economist), However I see this large deployment of AI and manufacturer reducing cost of everything. These are businesses and need to make money. Once an entire supply chain is managed by AI from mining ores to having a end product say a phone, no labour and unions to deal with, you are left with cost of maintaining such machines. So instead of selling $200 iphone for $2000, and again, that $200 components may drop to few cents and the iPhone ends up costing $20 to manufacture. Then Businesses will be forced to sell these iPhones for $200 or maybe even less.
We have seen with other automation that costs drop, ice is cheap because there is no human delivering it to your door anymore.
So I see no money to be made in products as populace has no money and cost of manufacturing went from $100s to few cents.
Humans will be more free to enjoy their life. Who is to say some philanthropist won't set up auto manufacturing that gives free cars to everyone.
This is going to be no different than plastic surgery, it too started to help say burn victims, soon the rich could use it to prolong youthful look. This time around, its actually may preserve youth much longer. Sure you will have problems, they will be solved, breast implants use to burst, now they don't. Already in US of A, the rich can afford medicine poor cannot. Now imagine you struggling to live past 60 and CEO of LiveLong corp looks 20 in at 100+. That is going to be the near future. Eventually it might trickle down, however I doubt it, expensive medicine is still not available to countless, this is going to be no different.
Moved to it about a year ago and hardly miss Win 7. Even come to like it.
We have come a complete circle, everyone loved Win NT and stuck to it until USB came out and MS did not provide driver support for USB, soon people moved and now like Win 7.
Sometime I feel people don't like to embrace change.
Google writes the OS for the phones that drives all the hardware. I think this one is blown out of proportion. Yes, I would rather not have them change settings like this, it was a mistake, they admitted and that is more important. Apple, Samsung and Microsoft have same capability on their front, even Tesla can do the same for their cars.
If you really want to stop this, install one of many open source initiative in the Android world and take control of your device, maybe pursue your elected official to regulate such updates. In the mean time, they have the capability to do whatever they want remotely, welcome to 2018.
Market forces at work here. Average Canadian income is around $50K. Transit operators in my town make above $60K+. Barrier to entry to become a bus or subway driver is low if the market was open, que unions artificially creating a high barrier to entry. Almost anyone can drive a bus, however unions protect their turf by design. No wonder anyone with a car is now jumping on this bandwagon. They complain and complain like milk or ice men of era forgone.
I hear what you are saying, sounds to me like, I built a computer using two reservoirs at different heights connected by a hose and a tap, this system can simulate water flowing from the higher reservoir to the lower when the tap is open. We can monitor when the water flows from higher reservoir to the lower.
It is the wrong kind of immigration policies in US that allow for this "cheapest labor exploitation". Speaking as a Canadian, the work permit here, which is equivalent to H1-B in US is bound to the employer, but the permanent resident status, equivalent to green card is not. So you get here on work permit, apply for permanent resident status couple years later and your employer effectively has no leverage except a just pay and a healthy work environment. Sure it costs 2 years before you can apply, however its not like a decade or so in US at the mercy of your employer.
Ah, confused with average income. Samsung profits have nothing to do with average Spanish budget for a phone vs that of an average Indian. If 25% Spanish can afford a $300 Samsung phone, they sold about 12 million units, Now if just 2% of Indians can afford a $300 Samsung phone, they just sold over 26 million phones.
I think they were trying to recover energy from breaking rather aggressively earlier. Some kind of balance between how hard the pads squeeze on the rotors so some breaking happens from magnet/coils to recharge the batteries.
Something like this could be tweaked rather easily.
That is correct, the subject line anyway.Majority of enterprises still use Windows, email is on exchange, Microsoft office is the defacto app, vizio is your tool for diagrams, excel is what the business loves and uses. Yet a lot of developers love and want linux. As in my case, I like to think of myself as an above average software engineer. I would love to use Linux at work, I did for a while, soon Pidgin is a half baked replacement for Lync, Evolution almost works as a email client and even though Libre Office sort of opens Word document, it does make the document formatting useless, so is not of much use, if we didn't want formatting, we would use text files. Yet platform for production is Linux, our team looks after enterprise front office web apps for our institution.
So all of us do development on Windows, we would love Linux if the entire bank switched, good luck with that.
So then this WSL fills that gap for me. I don't need to shell into any linux machine, have cygwin sitting along. I can just install windows. Now yes I can use something like virtualbox, however some parts of our application also run on Docker. so I need both Linux and Docker, and if you have tried, the way Windows Hyper-V works, you cannot run it along with Virtualbox. For the moment, we choose mixed bag, a seperate linux VM on our company cloud, or VMs on Hyper-V. It would speed things up if can just get a distro going right off the store.
Having said that, the value is incremental, as is we can install VMs via Hyper-V and it works more or less.
Yet they are scourge of society that enabled Trump and other like Modi in India to be elected. All of a sudden, this technology enabled bigot racists to unite in name of White power or Hindutva back in India. The folks who were rightly suppressed from bringing their hate agenda, marginalized because of racisit values were able to unite, empower with fake news and bought these monsters to power. Wrong kind of conservatives are pulling us back to 1900s
Yet, IMO, Facebook (whastapp) and Twitter should work along with google for this effort. Google can't police tons of fake videos on these closed platforms without this cooperation.
I recall being in a car (back in india) where the wife of my friend, who I had mostly respected, a staunch feminist, was in a discussion with my friend, her spouse. A short while into the discussion, see grabbed an apply my friend was eating and threw it out the window, "focus on me when I am talking" she said. I thought it was odd but hey, I will just shut up, nonetheless it stuck in my head. Few years later, they did end up having a divorce when this incident just popped in my thoughts. The whole process was bit of a feminist from hell. A bunch of feminist organizations backed her up initially, until they realized she was abusing the rights they had fought for every women, as an example, she falsely accused the family of this individual of demanding dowry. A severe crime in India, this is the only crime where legally, "you are guilty and must prove your innocence". It finally all settled after she has extorted a lot of dough from her in-laws and husband.
This lady did a lot of harm to feminism. Only silver lining, when the dust settled she was not welcomed at a lot of these organizations, nonetheless all those who witnessed had a mental stereotype of a feminist. It took few years for me to evaluate that my sole example was actually a bad person and this is not what feminism stands for.
Its been interesting, the game has its roots in Halo, it was a great franchise. Rather well balanced game play. Go online with a team or alone, it would pair you up and you play. People played for the same reason they played soccer or basketball (minus the health benefits of said games).
Then came destiny, what they did was create weapons and armor with random mods, as these artifacts dropped, you had a chance to get a god role, same weapon as other but say with extra stability and head seeker (slight beter aim assist to head). all of a sudden you were god in PvP. This is why people ran the treadmill. Naturally the community complained and complained as not every one could get a god roll on weapons and artifacts. Then there were exotics, e.g. rocket launchers with tracking and proximity, you wanted that.
Secondly, the sweats complain there isn't much content at the same time they had god rolls and were unstoppable meanwhile the regular dad with two kids complained its impossible to get god rolls and be useful in PvP (or PvE for that matter). So its been a complicated balancing strategy for Bungie.
Not only that over the last 3-4 years, a game that had its origins in PvP evolved deep into a PvE + PvP game due to the community feedback. Come Destiny 2... those random mods are gone as Bungie realised those god rolls are a problem. Now you don't have rocket launchers with tracking and proximity, you don't have guns that generate ammo out of thin year (even though those two were probably the most liked weapons on Destiny 1). The game as you describe has become a meaningless treadmill. Made my life simpler as I only have one day job now. I prefer PvP only, I have the weapons/armor that work since there are no more random mods. I play a few games and log off.
Am I missing something, if I was to ever steal a laptop, first thing would be to re-image...
Unless there is something in the boot/bios that lets you track your laptop even after a re-image, furthermore, let you login, this strategy won't really work. Cellphones have IMEI but as far as I know, laptops, at least the ones without a cellular chips do not have any such unique identifiers. Well may be a mac-address, but there is no way to track down based on the mac-address!
I live in Toronto, Canada, their warehouse is in a sister city. I don't think this is how it works out here, maybe amazon.ca has different operating guidelines compared to amazon.com. I always choose free shipping and the order is at my door the very next day. I am not a Prime member.
Well, I am here in Canada often looking for DVDs of Bollywood movies. The only place I can buy then are $1 DVDs at ethnic grocery stores.
So yah, I have paid in the past, now its more online, some sudo legit IPTV/streaming providers stream movies netflix style, but its grey as a lot of streamed movies have no Copyright registration here in Canada.

How about federal health care. Pay it from taxes, win win. Don't pay for a military, pay for health care.
Balance in favor of health care a bit.

Giving boys robot girlfriends might have worked better :)
Lets go after the largest car maker making better vehicles.
Yah, conspiracy theory 101.
They tried it with other better car maker, Toyota, a few years ago too.
You can't compete with a better manufacturers fair and square, so lets try some other way.

Say it, you were thinking it too.
