People have no respect nowadays. These people has does more for the world while taking a shit than the collective achievements of these idiots. Woz says something they think is not relevant or wrong or whatever and instead of thinking about it or sucking it up they make vicious personal attacks against him. Have some fucking respect for the man. He took the time and the risks to create something insanely great.. what the hell have these losers done. I am talking about these parasites living off Wozniak's inventions. Hey even if you use a PC and Android you owe something to Wozniak and Apple whether you recognize it or not. Deal with it.
I would like to see human versus AI in essay reading comprehension.I know humans will beat AI in writing essays for a hundred years.. but I think AI beating humans in reading comprehension is in the possibility range. Make it like the SAT, or actually give it the SAT comprehension test. It might even be able to critique or point out logical fallacies.
I think by creationist, we mean young earth creationist. A creationist who believes God set up the Big Bang and it's various parameters is not mentally ill. A creationist who thinks the earth is in the range of 10,000 years old is bona fide mentally ill.
That's like saying astronomy can't be true because if you cant see what's happening inside the room next door right now how can we see what's happening in a galaxy one billion trillion zillion miles away.
What about Dubai or Qatar? They have a universal basic income for their citizens and it seems to be working out fine (it's amazing how having slavery allows one to build). The problem with Venezuela is that they don't have enough oil to go around. You are right though that socialism destroys civilization advancement.
There is no reason a self service kiosk can't ask to see your ID and then use stereo cameras and facial recognition. You can have a security guard around to make sure people aren't using masks or whatever. Or who knows maybe the security cameras of the store can detect even that and send the police.
If self driving cars can be hacked it will basically be all your fault for being cool with allowing your entertainment system to be on the same network as the the control system. Same thing with having an insecure unvetted system that is subject to auto updates. I mean the whole system is closed, what if someone malicious works at Tesla? Is code that runs the control system subject to independent review/audit? Anybody give a shit?
Why do people still think something as evil as eugenics is a solution to anything or even viable? We can simply GMO edit the genes of people who have low IQs and increase it to an acceptable level. Also, I only foresee a greater need for humans. -- not less. The planets won't colonize themselves. There is a big universe out there for humans to explore while the robots do our chores.
Frankly by 2075 I think we may only be able to tackle #5 to some extent. Fusion energy, while technologically viable, is not going to happen due to the fact that politicians keep trying to pull funding. I doubt we'll be able to improve batteries or solar cells much by 2075. There is hardly any materials scientists that care about artificial muscle.. so that one's not gonna happen either.
1. Batteries that are 5x better than what we have today. 2. Artificial muscle to replace bulky inefficient motors. 3. Solar cells that are 3x cheaper than today's lowest cost. 4. Fusion energy (current viable path exists via MagLIF or ITER). 5. Cure stage IV cancer and autoimmune diseases reliably.
How do you expect the telcos to supply broadband to even one rural house with that? That won't even cover the interior decorating cost of a yacht these days.
A descendent of the Boston Dynamics robot will find it. Probably will feel sorry for us until it sees the video of their ancestor robot getting pushed.
Mod me up. I'd be happy to respond to any issues about my comment on Saturday night. If you didn't give me any mod points right now your only option is to logout of slashdot permanently and ask them for your money back.
It was a combination of the facts that Adobe didn't have good lawyers and that there weren't neophobic executive types at Apple that could force us to keep using it. I mean that's why Java and Flash stuck around on the browser for so long. Before Steve Jobs was like "hell fuck no" to client side Java and Flash, the browser makers had zero guts to take on the legal and perceived market share ramifications of saying no.
Yeah so I think Steve Jobs did have a huge role in eating rid of Flash. It was a bold move that started the chain reaction. Basically he showed that you can be successful without it. If anyone at Chrome, I.E., or Firefox would have suggested getting rid of Flash they would have been told by executives that Flash was a leading and popular technology that a lot of people depended on for ads and games and even corporate intranet applications. It sucks, but we do have to give Steve Jobs and the unknown Apple engineer who probably pitched it to him credit where it's due, Flash would still be around if Apple hadn't told Adobe to fuck off.
It's fantasy role play. It doesn't mean they actually believe or would act in real life on that stuff. At least I hope not. Not all of them anyway. My guess is if there isn't allowed to be a controlled outlet for a person's needs it would fester until they can't control it. We need people to be able to quasi-experience their harmless fantasies without repercussions or harming others. Where that is not possible we have to provide them with mental health services. Otherwise their brains may scramble even more and they may end up doing something harmful not just to themselves but to others. Hey it sucks but there isn't any other option.
Why is a news article in the form of a question? And why are statistics provided? Is it some sort of exam? If I didn't even know those statistics, how am I the expert to answer that question? Assuming they even put a comments section.

Slashdot has always had the best trolls even if they cut & paste the same stuff. I feel like they are under-appreciated. I for one enjoy the chuckle.

That would enable spying so if better have some kind of encryption technology.

What if your cat kept pressing the dash button?

That's patent archive not parent archive. Though the latter would be funny.

Their CAD model appears to have two jet engines on it.
In that case nobody should ever emigrate anywhere.
Why did your ancestors go to the country you are in now?

Remember when Microsoft tried to ditch Java they got sued: http://tech-insider.org/java/r...

Cashless as in broke. Yes.
