Yes, they will accord little to no serious air time to this story. Instead, they will promote the so called [Russian] "collusion", something I have never bought.
Of course, why wouldn't they? One issue will have an effect on a tiny group of people over their lifetimes while the other issue has the potential to impact just about every person on the planet. Also, even if you don't believe it, you should see this how the president does, "think of the ratings!"
Building the first factory is the hardest part about building factories. Once you've built it, you can build 200 more just like it in a fraction of the time.
In the meantime a worker complains about not being replaced by a machine?
I'm not sure if the people involved in repealing NN thought this was going to go away or not but it seem very clear that those against this are going to fight this to the bitter end. I don't expect anyone involved to walk away from this unmarred.
While malware scammers are focused on extorting people for cash by using cryptocurrencies (aka ransomware), I foresee the next iteration, a totally pervasive malware network that does only one thing: identify and steal cryptocurrency. Current malware has the problem of being easy to identify infected machine behavior but when the only thing you are doing is looking then you can spread far and wide like stuxnet, doing nothing but looking for something. Then when you they find your wallet, they just send a copy home and transfer the funds. No files altered, no suspicious behavior, just poof! your virtual money is gone.
It's hard to take a CEO seriously when their own products promote vendor lock-in. It's literally a "leaving us feels difficult" versus a "leaving us is difficult" situation.
"If there is any way that bad sensor input can result in a power plant exploding then you clearly designed the system improperly."
That's almost exactly how 3-mile island had a "mishap". A water-level gauge (mechanical) was stuck, and the operator on duty didn't know that the coolant level was almost to minimum.
That's a great example of an improperly designed system! Reactors have since been redesigned so that nothing so trivial as a bad sensor could cause problems. Modern energy systems are designed around the idea that something going awry will physically trigger it's own countermeasure. The Fukushima disaster never would have happened if had they not overridden the safeguards in place.
All I'm can tell here is that some sensors can be tricked into recording incorrect data. What I don't understand is how this can be turned into an attack. I mean, unless your security is based on shaking your phone like a maraca, I really don't see how this can be used to attack you. Anyone have an idea what this guy's freak out is all about?
Unfortunately, people are playing directly into the hands of the "there is no such thing as bad publicity" trap because it bring awareness to their product. If they wanted to protest the commercial better then they should be posting things like, "Fuck you, Apple! #NeverBuyFromApple" which would have a better impact. The reason for this is that it sends a negative signal about a brand without leaving the ability for someone to dismiss it. It will leave people a bit bewildered but they will get the message you are trying to send instead of the one Apple is trying to send.
If suddenly millions of people have no money for food because their job was replaced with AIs then is it an unethical use of AI? The problem with this very real situation is that it's the politicians behaved irresponsibly by not creating the required social safety nets that these people will need.
You know what? Fuck you, guys. I for one welcome our new AI overlords!;)
Just because the CEO of Apple says something doesn't mean he's not totally full of shit. Does anyone honestly think removing the 3.5mm jack from the iPhone was about courage?
What they are doing is trying to mislead you into thinking that diagnostic data is the only thing they are collecting. The truth is they are collecting a whole lot more and selling it to advertisers but they aren't giving you a tool to see that data.
How long do you think it will take to build millions of CO2 reclamation plants, and actually have an impact?
It depends entirely on how serious we are about it.
We've been hearing from many that we're already beyond the "tipping point", so what good would this do if we're already fucked?
The "tipping point" was where we could stop emitting CO2 and it would eventually balance itself out. Since we are past that point, we need to actually remove CO2.
...could it be accomplished in time
Yes.
or would we need a short term interim solution to hold us over?
Nope.
I'm no climatologist, but I don't think calling attempts at solutions (temporary or otherwise) "chemistry experiment" is helpful in any way.
Actually, discouraging exceptionally dangerous ideas that could potentially wipe out all life on Earth is a good thing.
Our machines are 1000x more effective than trees and unlike trees, they don't die and release the CO2 back into the atmosphere. Trees can NOT solve this problem.
Instead of try a chemistry experiment of unprecedented proportions, it would be much better if we simply addressed the problem directly: remove the excess CO2 from the air. It will take years and millions of CO2 reclamation plants but it will get the job done! The question is not if we can do it but if we will do it.
Unhampered by "Job Killing" rules like clean air, clean water, intellectual property, and child labor laws, China has claimed top global growth rankings for the past 2 decades... Now live with it... or try anyway.
China has strict environmental regulation... but they only enforce it for foreign companies. The result is that a LOT of people are getting lung cancer which means they are mass producing subjects to experiment on.

Except nobody builds lots of factories all the same.
Battery makers do.

Inverse Fourier Transform Transform Transform.
FYI, that's the Inverse Fourier Transform for people with OCD. with OCD. with OCD. ;) ;) ;)
I can imagine big ISPs simply pulling the plug on the state government, and leaving the contract to a local ISP.
Sounds like a great way to piss off the legislature and begin the proliferation of municipal ISPs.

The idea is that if you can fool a sensor
Well let's be clear, you aren't fooling a sensor, you are providing additional data to a sensor.
you can control entire industrial systems. For example, blow up a power plant.
If there is any way that bad sensor input can result in a power plant exploding then you clearly designed the system improperly.

Want new, innovative competition in broadband services consider states and parts of the USA with less telco bureaucracy and rules.
Would those be the same states that still don't have internet to rural areas?

Voting machines and power plant systems aren't online. So, not online hacking.
Either were Iran's centrifuges. Hacking is hacking.
