It's not a "better world". It's all about ridiculous exaggeration and globalization and creating the structures necessary to confiscate money from nations that create wealth and move it to others that only consume, and once and for all get rid of that poverty eliminator, capitalism.
Umm... you do realize that the overwhelming majority of oil exports come from socialist nations with dictatorships, right? Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't a giant conspiracy to undermine any economic or political system.
Cool story, Bro. Except the reason we don't have solid electrolyte batteries is because the blow themselves to smithereens (along with everything around them) if you attempt to charge them at low temperature. They also suffer from serious sinusoidal deplanaration if their cardinal grammeters are not absolutely perfectly synchronized. To top it all off, a solid electrolyte battery can't even convert energy through the modial interaction between magnetoreluctance and capacitive duractance, leaving us with the time honored yet ancient tradition of using the relative motion of conductors and fluxes.
Great, another AC troll on the site. The encabulation technology that resolves the thermal and deplanaration issue has be around since WW2. In 1962 a series of discoveries by GE enabled them to create the turboencabulator, the predecessor to the modern microencabulator. And really, magnetoreluctance? Magnetoconstrictors are practically naturally occurring. Be gone, foul beast!
I swear it's like half the people on the internet don't have a clue about what they are talking about!
MD5 has collisions like a mofo. Besides, this sure sounds like a universal, "we don't like this person and therefore they're a terrorist" type of situation. I would be interested in knowing just what the application is capable of because I get the feeling they can remotely upload/delete whatever they want to/from your phone.
Seems like a legit reason to not have a smartphone.
LOL! They have had controlling power of the entire government for half a year and Mitch McConnell said this was the last go at it. Even so, the people have made it very clear that they want the ACA. Should it be repealed, there will be a huge political backlash resulting in it's reinstatement or something like it. Before healthcare it was repealing social security and we see how well that turned out for Republicans. The irony of all this is that the ACA helps Republican voters more than anyone else.
That said, the ACA isn't perfect and it does need more funding so modifying it to have heavier taxes would be an improvement. However, if they got their asses in gear, they could replace the ugly healthcare patchwork with a single healthcare program that covers everyone. That's where this all ends because it's what people want.
I'm not saying Elon is right about AI but I agree that Zuckerberg has a limited understanding of AI. I would go further and say that most everyone has a limited understanding of AI. It's also part of why I think we're safe from AI for many decades. It will eventually become a problem but by that time people will have a much better grasp of the danger that AI can present and be looking to use AI to secure systems from people and other AI.
but it's not like they actually have the votes to accomplish a damned thing without help from the other side of the aisle. I don't see Republicans actually supporting this idea.
Here's the thing, people may change their vote at the next election based on what their representative won't support. Then they may get the power to actually pass the law.
R&D costs for such a thing aside, every NFC tag has a silicon chip that actually stores and calculates information. So unless you are looking to print an entire IC on someone's hand, it's kind of a no-go idea.
Arguably, they already have been, depending on how you define a robot. Landmines could be considered robots and we've banned them because they kill civilians.
The "winner" in any war that uses autonomous killing machines as combatants will be the side with the best electronic warfare systems.
POPPYCOCK! The winner could simply be the side that exploits a mechanical or chemical weakness in the the autonomous robots. Tanks thwarted with simple wire that tears up their treads is a good example of this concept.
Gen. Paul Selva probably understands that this is currently not his government, and recent administrations either have not gotten the memo or are playing their cards very close to their chest. I suspect he is much more worried about creating efficient killing machines that get co-opted and controlled by his adversaries than some AI going rogue and asserting their position atop Earth's food chain.
He'll come around because people, we are going to make the best, most luxurious, killer robots the world has ever seen. I'm telling you people, they will be so beautiful, like my beautiful daughter Ivanka - have you seen Ivanka? She's gorgeous - and other side will just give up. You can trust me because - and you can ask anyone, just people off the street and if they don't then they are democrats that are mad because crooked Hillary didn't get elected, I did. Go ahead, ask anyone, I make the most best killer robots! Crooked Hillary wouldn't want you have to have killer robots because she - and all democrats - they hate us because we win. We're winners and they lose so they don't want us to have killer robots. Now my daughter Ivanka...
I love the modern idea that works of fiction, specifically written to advance a particular point of view
Fiction isn't "specifically written to advance a particular point of view," it's made strictly to entertain. Part of that entertainment may be the consideration of a particular scenario.
are somehow indicative of how reality works.
Humans are not entertained very long by nonsense, so fiction has to have a logical sequence. Science fiction needs at least a loose grounding in science combined with a "what if" scenario that generally goes awry. The idea that such a scenario cannot go awry is to call science fiction illogical.
It's a movie, it's entertainment.
What happened to it being "specifically written to advance a particular point of view"?
I've spent better part of a day to explain to My Mom how to distinguish a safe website from unsafe one. You look at the Green Bar / Lock. Is it green? you are good to give them your name and CC details.
Now I'm going to her and have to explain, that no, things have changed
No, nothing has changed about what that green bar means: encrypted connection. You pushed a false idea on to your mother, an idea that companies planted and you blindly accepted.
The problem here has nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with the fact that companies have pushed the idea that if a connection is encrypted that the site is legitimate. The only thing that encryption does is ensure you connection cannot be spied on. The idea that encryption should be reserved for certain people is patently absurd.
Stop telling people that encryption equates to legitimacy and the problem is resolved.

What if this global warming thing is a big hoax and we make a better world for nothing?! ;)
Extraordinary ignorance only requires ordinary stupidity.
You write as if they want to fix the problem. They are only interested in exploiting it for their own gain.

Did anyone else read that as, "Seattle is in the Canadian Abduction Zone" and think Canadians were being held hostage in exchange for maple syrup? ;)

What did the last group do?
There's the ACA, which needs some fixes but is a step in the right direction.
What did they cement so that it can't be broken with ease?
Despite claiming they want to, Republicans cannot seem to undo it. "Who knew healthcare was so complicated? Nobody knew!"
yeah, the scale of these things is becoming increasingly ridiculous.
I get that they want to put on a good show,
What makes you so sure that it's only a show?

So what happens when you're fired, quit, retire, or otherwise leave this company's employment? Surgery to remove the implant? Who pays for that?
The same people that bust into houses and take credit cards back.
They're trying to kill chart brut... and then all of us!

WTF happened to /.? We all hate Apple and all, but this? Really? Kick the lawyer in the balls until he pukes.
Why are you picking on Slashdot when it's State Farm who is doing the suing? Slashdot is just reporting on the story by cnet.
And what language and platform should one do this? Windows? Seems pretty reasonable - after all, no one uses macOS or Linux, right? Or Android or iOS.
Or maybe we do Android, and ignore iOS and Windows and people who use desktops?
C++ with Qt works on all of those platforms and more.
combine 12 metrics from 10 carefully chosen online sources to rank 48 languages
What metrics are they and which online sources were used? If you're going to make such an assertion then why not explain or link to the details?
To me, it sure sounds like a list of the most problematic languages combined with the number of people who use them.
