These are just the first few images. Give it time.

If there's a person at an intersection directing traffic, it will be very hard to have the car itself communicate with them as easily as a human can. Edge cases like that is where AGI would be needed it seems.

Trump tried to lift the Russia sanctions in 2016. Trump said he'd partner with Putin on cybersecurity while they were preparing a major hack on the federal government, which succeeded. Stop gaslighting us.

Nonsense comment, there's plenty of evidence and it's all public.

The last major cyberattack came from Russia. Russian hacker group ransomware hit US companies. It may not be "The Cold War", but it's definitely US vs Russian nationalism.

To be fair, you would not want to be confronted with the reality of these products 10 years ago, there's been a million bug fixes that have been done since then. But I agree on Search, it's almost like they sabotaged it.

In reality it's like Comcast. You could theoretically switch ISPs, but realistically and in practice it's a monopoly.

+1 ONI. Truly a black hole that manages to warp time itself.

Also maddening being an early fan in beta, then repeatedly throwing out whole designs, plans and game files as they kept adding new things in the game and changing them.

Some of the links are from 10 years ago, and it shows. His views on solar being too expensive for practical use seem anachronistic now, and I'm sure his opinion has changed with the market.

If a 9-year-old types into Google, they will easily find porn.

But, maybe it shouldn't be so easy. And yes, once they're in middle school and high school they'll just figure out alternatives, but I don't think it's unreasonable to put up some dead simple barriers to protect innocence.

Just because it was easy for those of us growing up in the 90s and after doesn't mean all children have to be exposed like that.

Genocide, accidental or not, is surely still a thing.

Whether or not they knew they were transporting disease at the time really doesn't excuse the end result: mass genocide. And of course this doesn't authorize taking land.

I think you miss the point.

All these legalistic reponses, and yet none really touches the sheer absurdity of sentencing someone to 1,000 years. Doesn't the lifespan of a human being figure in at any point? Talking this way is dehumanizing.

I mean if we're getting into it, "white man" basically genocided their whole population with disease. The Native Americans never did anything nearly so heinous.

Seconded. I find it's the power-hungry managers in the industry who push this idea that unless a software engineer knows "literally everything about everything" they'll always be inferior, especially as compared to some abstract "Perfect Google Engineer" which I've never actually met in real life and seems a lot like Bigfoot.

What's the quality of those new users though? The people signing up to FB for the first time in 2020 are probably not prime.

I wonder if the problem here is just the way traditional policing works, not even the technology.

We, as technologists, probably largely agree with this argument, but those in charge are all laymen: officers, Dept. leaders, politicians, even lawyers, can all be ignorant of that nuance, and will probably remain so unless walked through in detail, and then continuously badgered about it.

ditto.

I often find that the usual so-called defenders of free speech do not hesitate for one moment with that libel charge whenever they encounter an opinion they happen to disagree with.

You mean like how underrepresented groups regularly experience the workplace already?

Simple up/down voting is probably a relic of the simple concepts and simplified programming needed for early development of social media (web 1.0).

An overhaul of these networks to adapt more to human-like discourse is much-needed and welcome imo.

Kialo for example has a more complex voting system that works better.

Damore wrote an essay basically arguing women and minorities should be incapable of joining the software profession based on their genetics.

The effect of which would silence both their work rights and free speech rights.

Google, a private corporation, not a government, decided to stop contracting with him, as they have women and minorities on staff whose employment output likely outweighs his personal need to write long, politically charged, essays at work. To me that sounds like no one's essential rights were violated at all.

We should advocate union reform rather than ditching them entirely then.

When one of these banks inevitably gets hacked, we're talking billions stolen overnight.

Part of the appeal of Bitcoin was it's decentralized authority, giving people more confidence in a currency that was digital.

What should be the response of workers?

To be fair, wiser engineers seek to discriminate between the rational and irrational parts of a system.

A union is simply an agreement between workers and management. Agreements can be modified to prevent such faults when both parties enter in good faith.
