It isn't a guarantee that you'll never be in poverty, it is basically a guarantee that you will not be in chronic poverty. Poverty isn't exactly "easy" to escape from, but the steps to get out, or at least give your kids a leg up over yourself, are pretty well known.
I am currently doing a CS101 course and was thinking about building exactly that as my final exam. What type of visualization were you imagining to fit your needs? What feature would be the most important of your dream tool to achieve the purpose?
So that's around 1% of revenue? For a low margin business like restaurants that's probably worth it.
Wow; I would strongly recommend you to re-think your position! Think of it in terms of, e.g., gain-of-function research in virology (cf. [1]).

As a real estate investor, this is kind of true. Though for now there’s a lot of undeveloped land, if you venture beyond cities. And we could always build vertically. And some kind of Elysium-like thing. Some of it will have to be farmland, of course.
No, it's about enabling complete surveillance of everything.

For those who don't know, Lawrefareblog has always been pro-mass surveillance. They only started doubting themselves a little when Trump won the election. But it seems they're back on the pro-mass surveillance horse now.

> When we founded this site more than six years ago, I never in my wildest dreams imagined myself writing these words about a man who will take the oath of office as President of the United States. We began Lawfare on the assumption that the U.S. federal executive branch was a tool with which to confront national security threats. While I accepted that its manner of doing so might threaten other values—like civil liberties—or prove counterproductive in protecting national security goods, I never imagined I would confront the day when I ranked the President himself among the major threats to the security of the country.

Huh, no kidding? So a "bad" president could abuse the extensive powers that are given to him thoughtlessly to "fight crime and national secure threats"? It's only the argument privacy activists have always made.

Lawfareblog seems to always work with the assumption that the government is always the "good guys" and therefore will never abuse the powers given to them. That is wrong.
Sorry you got so offended.

One word: Equifax

That’s an insecure system. All Eve needs to do is get hold of that third-party key. It’s like requiring all homes to be master keyed with a key held by the police - you need to find an officer willing to take a photo of the key for a few thousand dollars and now you can get in to any house.

The sane and obvious solution is to cap campaign spending. Anything else, willful or not, is either corruption or mere oligarchy.

CRISPR doesn't have to be perfect; you simply characterize the modifications that occurred in the line. This is trivial to do with Southern blots. If you get more than one band, you've got more than one insertion. This is a very reliable method, and it would be trivial for any sort of watchdog or oversight body to double check as the probe is simply a portion of the insert sequence.

Like racism? The point is that, contrary to OP's conjecture, you can't explain this situation without accounting for racism.

@kolinko's unstated premise is that there was racism, which explains why African Americans are behind despite being here so much longer than Irish or Italian Americans, but that there no longer is racism, as of the last 2-3 generations.
Yeah, it really boils down to that.

The question of Trust is a question that needs to be answered no matter which technologies you use, and the answer for it is very personal to an individual.

If Wikipedia's to be believed, Open Whisper Systems partnered with WhatsApp and provided the same end-to-end encryption as Signal.

I was recently introduced to Instagram by other 'serious' photographers and they have a wholly different use-case. No selfies or look-at-my-dinner but instead a sort of fast-paced challenge showcase e.g. today might be Sunsets and tomorrow Waves.

It's a way of building reputation , such as how programmers use Github, but because of Instagrams's resizing and compression of photos it's only an interest-generator; the full experience is on Flickr or 500px or whatever. But apparently it's the most lucrative channel for picking-up paid work.

Kazakhstan blocked major part of gmail functionality at one point of time. You couldn't download attachments, images didn't work, may be something else. I think they tried to block blogspot. but shared IP broke gmail. It was broken for months, nobody really cared except people pointlessly ranting on forums. Those, who needed working email, migrated to other providers or used proxy. I'd like to live in the world without censorship but I don't see this happening, so I'd prefer to minimize censorship damage at least.
I would also be highly surprised that using a free version of TurboTax or using any of their other products like Mint don't result in them selling all your financial information to all kinds of predatorial institutions' solicitations etc.

It's bad to perpetuate structural inequality within a country but not between countries? Or do you also agree that it's wrong for developed countries to have clean tap water because it gives their citizens an advantage over citizens of poorer countries?

They're requiring clear labeling, not prohibiting it.

As a consumer, I think it's fair that I be told that this is lab-grown rather than from an animal. (Which way that sways my decision is my business. The point is that I should know which I'm buying.)

Yes, there is legislation pending that would require clearly stating the difference. No, that's probably not as strong as what you thought when you read "legislate against". They're not prohibiting it.
Just want to say kudos to the Mocktastic team for having their Data Protection Officer's contact info prominently on the site footer. A breath of fresh air.
Woz doesn’t work at Apple.

I’m also not sure that iMessage and Messenger are even that direct competitors, the former is not a revenue stream for Apple directly, whereas the latter is for Facebook. I personally use them for very different purposes, and to communicate with different sorts of people. I’d suspect many people might be in a similar position.
... that requires a sign up with either Google or Facebook. PERFECT!
> However, they gave no answer for why unnecessary data was being provided.

I mean, it was obviously a bug, right? I imagine the only "explanation" would involve detailing the origin and nature of the bug which would be unwise until they've gone through all their other endpoints to ensure that there's not another instance of this same information leaking.

Yep, https://www.cnet.com/news/new-wi-fi-distance-record-382-kilo... . If you have big enough antena and state of the art amplifiers, 500km is not unbelievable and that is high enough to orbit a satellite (for example ISS is at about 405km now). Plus, you have only about 100km of atmosphere (I might be wrong here).

So come to Europe. Plenty of WPF jobs here.

Not everyone is using Citrix, and there are many markets, like life sciences, ticketing systems, factory management and many other domains, using non networked devices with native UIs in WPF.

Of course MS is not supporting WPF on .NET Core, they already announced XAML Standard and Xamarin.Forms is going to support Linux and macOS as well.

Also they have big UI announcement planned for BUILD as discussed on .NET Rocks interview with Scott Hunter.

American bicycle infrastructure is behind, but it exists. I don't own a car. I get around those cities on bike without issue. It's as fast or faster than a car in many cases and I'm peddling the old fashioned way (with legs).

It could be many things. There is a spectrum of Human Intelligence. There is a spectrum of capability of Artificial Intelligence that can be produced by a spectrum of individual Human Intelligence. Do you believe, given many years of historical evidence and demonstration, that one's own personal limitations don't preclude them from certain discoveries? Do you think that money can solve every problem? Do you think if you throw enough PhDs in a room that you can solve any problem in the world? What is intelligence? What is its fundamental nature especially at higher orders? Does a truly and deeply intelligent individual focus on trivialities? Is money/fame their primary motivator? What would such an individual sacrifice for ultimate answers? What catches their eye? What keeps them up at night? If not virtuous, how do they not self destruct at the higher tiers of capability/intelligence? What keeps them together at the limits of comprehension/understanding? Why don't other paths appeal to them? Why don't they cut short and cash in along incremental achievements? What effect does this have on long term progress? Why/how do they think different then everyone else doing research? What is their failure rate? Why are they okay with possibly researching this problem their whole life and not getting an answer or not making money from their efforts? What then are they capable of doing that others are not? Lots of questions.. Lots of answers.. Ultimately
Yes, but is the US the area where the product will have the most revolutionary impact? In my view, I would target high density cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Delhi, Paris, etc.

Europe and Asia seem like the most important markets for the technology rather than the US which is littered with sprawled out cities.

Nothing. But Google Plus already had your name and a lot of information on you, yet still failed. Ello had a ton of hype around it and people signed up, yet no-one really stuck around.
That's simply not how CRISPR-Cas9 works.

Furthermore, detecting novel genetic sequence in an organism is trivial to detect with blotting or PCR amplification and sequencing. You could do this as a fun exercise for undergrads, or even high-school students.
I had something like this delivered frozen to the fridge in the office. It was huge fridge just for this purpose. But the meals weren’t enjoyable. Price was 3-6€/meal, so Tovala goes premium. I ended preparing everything at home. If I were mega rich, I would love to have big robot in the kitchen cooking the way I do.
"Proper sanitation" includes much more than just hand washing (e.g. properly disposing of urine and feces rather than throwing them into the street), so you're refuting a statement that I never made.

If you can disentangle hand washing from the effects of modern sanitation in general, I'm interested to hear more.
I guess technically democracy doesn’t _require_ privacy, but a central tenant of most western democracies is the secret ballot. The government shouldn’t know who anyone voted for. Losing privacy will allow the connections to be made even if the vote itself is secret. That can easily lead to voter intimidation etc, if not by the government then by third parties.
How exactly does tapping "Deny" on Snapchat's request to access the camera let you use the app?
I think the additional overhead versus a docked system isn't as big as you think. The popular dock-based DC BikeShare requires a whole fleet of vans picking up bikes from completely full docks and redistributing them elsewhere.

They finally set up a system where there's an employee waiting by a popular downtown bike rack to manually check in your bike because the rack would otherwise be full with a line of other people waiting for an open slot.
But if you want to fix the problem, running around looking for the non-existent racists is going to be less effective than finding the real root problem and addressing that. Meanwhile, if you're too busy running around and yelling at everybody that they're racists, which is one of the most vicious slurs in the modern world, you're not only not spending that effort finding the problem, you're actively impeding it.
HPO: a plain-language medical vocabulary for precision diagnosis
> Do not worry about the decrease in arable land...

Apply more technology: agroforestry combined with Boston Dynamics-type robots. Look into published material from/by Ernst Götsch, F. H. King, and Masanobu Fukuoka among others on principles. The techniques they worked out and published can be used to rebuild, reclaim, and build de novo arable land. Main criticism of these techniques is they are too labor-intensive. There isn't a law of physics that enforces wheeled farm machinery, so robotics-based farm machinery can assist with capturing scale. It's a new frontier, so no established player wants to pursue it at this time as long as our backs aren't against the wall when it comes to available arable land.

> shortages of drinking water...

Apply more technology: potable water supply is roughly a derivative function of available energy. Push comes to shove, we as a species are going to widespread nuclear power if necessary instead of the leadership dying by dysentery.

> decline in biomass in fisheries...

Apply more technology: mega-scale research and engineering to build fish sanctuaries/breeding grounds in the relative marine deserts of the open oceans. We're still in the relative hunter-gatherer phase of our aquaculture tech. When we have vast farms in the deep open water ocean that grow algae, then plankton, and upwards, raising an entire tower of consumption, instead of catching wild fish to feed domesticated fish, then I'd say we are relatively progressing into true aquaculture. Wouldn't hurt to develop at the same time genetically modified sponges and coral to capture and entomb mercury, and start millennia long filtration while we work out how to stop dumping it into our ecosystem.

> scarce minerals, or any of that stuff. It's all in your head!

Apply more technology: von Neumann mining while at the same time sending out starwisps to scout nearby star systems. Hundreds and even millennia-long timelines here, but not constrained by the known laws of physics, only by our species' own will to overcome our internal dissension.

The question I'm unsure of is will capital allocate to the "more technology" solution space before we as a species run out of time? I'm not entirely convinced capital markets actually understand the timelines, scales, and civilizational risks we are working with here, and even if individual people within the markets understand them, there is an argument to be made that the incentive structures of the markets combined with people's natural lifespans combine to create perverse incentives for funding Long Now-scale tech.

The dominant thesis the markets have embraced thus far is "the tech will become available when the threat becomes clear and present", which is outright faith and not based upon any settled science. Once the timeline to develop and deploy the tech to solve or even mitigate the challenges you outlined above exceed the timeline to catastrophic civilization-wide impacts, the capital markets have failed their anticipation function.

I think the result of this may be regulation, or even breaking Facebook up. A few months ago I couldn’t have imagined feeling justified saying that was likely, but my god this story has legs. On CBS news (which is mediocre at best) they had someone from Mozilla explaining that this whole mess isn’t a breach or mistake, but their business model. The piece played at least three times in an hour.

This feels like a real change in public awareness to me. I’ve never seen this kind of real talk about privacy in the non technical press before, and it just keeps going and going. How can Facebook thrive as people become aware of just how crooked they are?
The debate typically continues along the government's right to compel the holder to reveal the key, or to reveal the decrypted message, as a loose analogue of rights of governments, where exists, to compel physical writings or access to a strongbox.

If we accept that mechanisms in common use, like warrantful search of physical belongings under the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, are legitimate and rightful functions of government, then warrantful key disclosure is a logical compromise that protects the individual's privacy, except when the government compels them with good cause to reveal information. Balancing this with protections against self-incrimination is one complication that's currently playing out.
I highly recommend Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit...) which goes into detail about the "debt trap" referred to in the article.

Coercing developing countries into taking out loans they can't afford to build infrastructure they don't need has been the USA's MO for decades, and is the reason why it is able to exert so much geopolitical influence around the world. And recently China has been playing the same game.
Not only does he not "run" apple, he doesn't work for them at all as fair as I know. And I also wouldn't say that Facebook and Apple are simply "competing businesses". They certainly have some area of market overlap, but they operate in vastly different spaces with vastly different models.

> Has the person tried an electric bike? Almost everyone who has immediately sees them as awesome. Many who haven't don't get the point.

Probably depends on your goals as well.

I got one of those 2-stroke engines to put on my bike a while ago and when it arrived I was looking at it and thinking "if I put this thing on my bike I'll never get any exercise". Instead I went to the pawn shop and got another bike and put it on that one instead -- and it sits in the corner unused to this day. One of these years I'll get it out and ride it around because it's actually pretty nice looking, a "lowrider" beach cruiser that fits the engine perfectly like they were made for each other.
One JPL-related source [1] indicates that the second copy can generally be obtained for 15% of the price of the first one. The primary source is "Interview with Gentry Lee, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, June 1, 1984." I doubt things have changed very much since.

So I have a question.

To "avoid enabling uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or unduly concentrate power" what does one do with an idea or line of research that could potentially harm humanity or unduly concentrate power?

The manipulation of social media by foreign actors armed with dumb-AI / automation was an obvious conclusion to many of us well before the Snowden leaks, but what could we do exactly? I remember having conversations with people about it and we concluded that it would just happen until someone pushed it too far and then Russia did and now we're finally reacting.

I was privately concerned about the mass weaponization of autonomous devices via cyber attack for over a year and a half and got nowhere just emailing politicians or public safety departments. I've been told almost a dozen times that I should join a military or IR think tank but I don't want to do that. I just want someone else to vet the idea or research and pass it on to policy makers that will actually do something proactively.

Put another way:

What is the responsible disclosure process for ideas and research around AI?
Did the PLAN acquire their base in Djibouti this way, or did they come by it conventionally?
