People are simply too stupid. The human species developed technology without wisdom, and killed itself. It's all over.
It's not over yet. Those who manage to survive will learn from our mistakes. Humanity is the ultimate weed: killing all of us is quite a task. Just to hedge our bets, hopefully, Mars colonization and terraforming will take off in this century.
How exactly does it determine what information to keep and which to dump. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the answer is there is a server it sends the URL to in order to be cleaned so that it will always be up to date for thousands of sites without needing to distribute changes. The downside of this is that (obviously?) they will now be tracking every single URL that you copy. #AllTechIsEvil #GoingAmish2018;)
You have made the same mistake that all the other doomsday soothsayers.
I have not because it was a metaphor, jackass. Brain and brawn are the fleshy analogs of CPUs and robotics. I'm not saying they will be smart, I'm saying they'll be able to perform the same task repeatedly without pay and thus displace millions of workers.
Computers are really really good at answering math related questions (and a lot of questions are math related). They really really suck at deciding which question to ask.
I'm sure they can recognize metaphors better than you.
Robots only need to be able to handle some cases as long as they can offload work they are unable to do onto humans. If they can only handle 50% of stuff, that's a huge savings already. It far more likely that they will be able to handle 95% of things right out of the gate.
It doesn't. The human interface is what relies on Bluetooth and humans are going to be removed from the process. Therefore, Bluetooth will also be removed from the process.
Total automation is coming quickly and it will be putting many millions of people out of a job.
This is just the halfway point between human based systems and total automation. Right now, the computers are the brains and the humans are the brawn. After they have the brains part worked out, they'll start replacing the brawn with robots. If they are this far advanced into automation then they are already working on the robotic component.
A capitalist free market is an excellent (arguably the best) method for searching vast solution spaces to find the most effective solution to a problem. It works. If you believe in evolution, then you also believe capitalism works. They're the same thing.
This is absolutely correct! However, you have left out some critical details. What evolves isn't getting the best worker, it's getting the best job seeker. This means that the perfect employee gets passed up for a person who is better at finding job listings and interviewing for positions. They may be really shitty at the actual job but they can get by enough that they can get hired for a better position, perhaps at another company.
To understand evolution, you need to understand the problem being solved and the problem being solved here isn't getting the best worker.
Just tie the security clearances of the company's executives to the company's security. If the company's security is compromised, the executives lose their security clearances, leaving the corporation with two options, replace all the executives or forfeit it's government contracts.
However, the larger threat of Windows comes from what it's used to manage, specifically SCADA systems.
Windows can be locked down.
Unfortunately, Windows has a perpetual stream of 0day bugs being added to it from Microsoft via Windows Update. The other problem is that getting a distribution of Windows that focuses specifically on security costs more money, so Cheapy McCheapskate is just going to use vanilla Windows.
Phones, on the other hand, are always-on cameras and microphones that cannot be locked down in any way. Phones alsoallow for 100% harvesting of all email, text messages, and phone calls sent through them.
There is no doubt that they are a significant threat but exploiting them is difficult without having them installing malware.
You can create the most secure systems but unless it's cheap and easy, you're going to get assholes that don't know what the fuck they are doing completely screwing over the rest of us. The biggest threat is people and the second biggest is people using Windows.
HR is to blame because they have unrealistic standards. It's like a guy that is a "4" that will only date women who are a "9 or 10", shares all the same interests in Star Wars (but not Star Trek!) and is rich being caught off guard because "there are no women to date!"
Stop looking for developers that are willing to take a pay cut and know exactly all the things you are looking for in a candidate (especially the technically incorrect ones like 10 years with PHP 7) and surprise, you'll find there are lots of people that fit that category!
Right now, we have the problem of antibiotic resistance. Fun fact, one of the avenues being looked at before the discovery of antibiotics was the use of bacteriophages. Bacteriophage (aka phage) are actually just complex viruses that I think are better described as being molecular memetic robots. These tiny memebots bump into bacterium, inject their genome into the bacterium's cytoplasm which starts the replication of more tiny memebots before finally exploding out.
Finding the right bacteriophage is the difficult part but this can easily be assisted by robotic trial and error. However, the bigger issue is actually regulatory because these are actually highly complex molecular machines that we don't really understand. I think when we get past the regulatory issue (eventually it won't be an option) that enough focus on understanding bacteriophages will exist and we'll reverse engineer them. At which point we'll be able to design our own molecular robots and we'll lay waste to all the microbes that irk us.
I had pirated Zoo Tycoon and it was the best thing ever but the day I saw Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection was the day my world changed. Could I have forked over the money? That's obviously crazy talk but since then I've been all consumed with this the sinking feeling I was missing out on one of the greatest treasures that life has to offer. Now that I can pirate Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection, it feels like a piece of my soul has been restored!;)
I'm just curious what prompted this change. I RTFA but doesn't state the reason this has only recently been put in place after years of not existing. Does anyone know?
With billions of dollars in funding, we could fund developers to successfully implement all the APIs needed to make Linux a desktop alternative that runs Windows and OSX applications. Without significant funding, it's not going to happen but it definitely could be done.

It still sucks.

If these are the limitations you are willing to accept then you might as well just use Linux with WINE. It'll run more applications than this garbage.

Given the prevalence of autocorrect, it is no longer possible to distinguish a typo from choosing an incorrect but similar word.
That's prepositus! ;)
Then they lose the tools of their trade.
Executives are replaceable. They would be quickly replaced and company would move on without them.
The gov cannot take the tools of their trade away from the contractors.
The person gets to walk away with their security clearance and start up a new company.
Why should an executive that failed to ensure security be allowed to keep their security clearance? The fish rots from the head down.
Just tie the security clearances of the company's executives to the company's security. If the company's security is compromised, the executives lose their security clearances, leaving the corporation with two options, replace all the executives or forfeit it's government contracts.

acknowledge that the problem exists, rather than deny it because it somehow diminishes the ego of the current occupant of the Oval Office
Did you say impeachment? Because it really sounded like you were saying impeachment.

The Washington Post has a better article on this.
One bit of info missing from CNET is that these indictments are the direct result of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation.
A building that punishes people for working for an amoral megacorp is exactly what Apple employees deserve.
