Once upon a time, the absolute kings where having a grip of iron on population and would jail anyone having sedditious thoughts.

They would spy and jail people for what they were saying regulating every printed media.

But the populations found ways: speaking their own crafted language

Langue de feu (Fire tongue), javanais for some merchants
Verlan, (play on rules of construction) for priests and litterates
Slang for the thieves (using a lot of ambiguous use of legitim words else sending IA in the wild of misiinterpretation)
dialect and patois for various religious minority (elsacian, cevenols, yiddish)
François (initial french speaking) for François Villon my favourite polemist
Cockney for the dockers in London

Now think of it: what if you learned Navajo? NSA & else may have the capacity to intercept communication, but what if the clear text message is requiring costly human interpretation or making the IA get crazy because of the apparent non sense?

If going apple and pear is going upstairs, what the automatic NLP will understand?

Big data technology suffer the same issue.

Privacy concerns solve themselves with time.

WTF!
The coder did what was totally normal for a coder. Just enforce is moral rights. The stuff every authors should defend because that is why our income are that high compared to manual laborers!

Everyone out of JS told them that there was a problem with DEPENDENCY hell.

They said no. The problem is unsound technical practices where basically the assumption that all will go well is made to build everything.

The removal of a module was expectable like a lot of other things still bound to happen. But JS community did not cared to protect for such a small potential problem.

The problem is never someone doing what he is entitled to. It is people using code without understanding licenses and taking stupid risks.

DARPA Robots are full 2.1D autonomous. Cars have far less degrees of liberty and their "environment" is heavily subsidized.

Why are drones (3D evolution) and electric train (1.xD evolution) easy to build?

Well in the case of drones makers don't care about limiting the movements so rules of feedbacks are easy. In case of train, it is even easier.

It is all about the size of the decision tree and the number of input(sensors)/output(effectors) that are coupled you need to control. There probably is a metric to give you the domain of "accessible" low hanging fruits of automation that can be set according to the domain.

General purpose automates are at best expensive, at worst a scam (see the mechanical Türk).

One way to make bots efficient is to specialize them. Hence the Jacquart mecanic computer that created the industrial revolution of the XIXth and set the workers on fights and created the conditions for WWI.

I guess no one saw the problem of efficiency still exists even with infinite R&D budget (thanks the FED and the QE, free K-PEX).

The problem of robots is by requiring quite a lot of investment for their deployment they set an unfair competition between people being backed up by capital and innovative self made man without capital. But it has nothing to do with the robots. It is all about the unfair access to investment/capital and letting the one having the money makes the rules.

That was the reason to be of the Luddites.

I cant sit, I cant stand, like in school, I need to walk from time to time. Else I get crazy. Anyway, my bosses always dislike me for this the same way my teacher did not like me skipping classes.

I don't understand how people can stand being like rats at their jobs. It is clear activity is needed. And my job is coding, therefore thinking, and I think better while breathing, watching, walking looking the sky and the birds.

People are reproducing the bad habits learned at school forgetting their own self interest, their health. I really don't get how people can shut this little voice singing : I want to be outside, I don't like to be closed in the noise.

I prefer to be fired than told to live most of my existence like a rat in a cage. I was not born to be trapped, I wish to help the others, it does not require me to be in a cage even with free soda.

Maybe the grid is polluted with harmonics that are tuned at the same frequencies of reasonancy of all or part of the engines?

Would I be interested in nvidia's version of Linux?

Totally : when winter is cold nothing beats a 350W alim serving a bloated linux with an openGL screensaver to warm my flat.

So far so good.

I would definitively would like to hear from how the new team is wishing to make this sustainable ($) and the long term goals.

Since the team changed, my karma is positive. I guess it is unrelated, but on site like HN, I noticed that OP with interest in promoting their contents had also a tendency to fight opinions contrary to their views. Sometimes fairly, sometimes not. It is just a guess, but it could be checked by measuring the total sum of plus and minus per posts per threads on average and compare it between non advertised news and advertised one. (Just curious and to lazy to do it, when I know a DB can do it fast).

So I my intuition is the removal publi-informations is quite a good news and may had a positive effect at least for me. At least, it makes me feel more likely to accept news without a constant questioning on the motives of the OP, which is already probably making me less trollish and a partial explanation of my new state.

In their police drama, their super police man get people condemned for giving an order to make crimes.

Trumps' speech are clearly related to riots that are as far as I know illegal, but since it is public, legal liability is none.

So, if Al Capone 2.0 existed he would just have to be a politician gives his order of execution in public to never be jailed.

Lol. Wonderfully absurd system.

What scares me is that given it is harder to recruit black hats and they have access to less qualified work force they do a pretty good job at defeating top notch major in CS.

Our HR recruitment process are clearly recruiting expansive work force, but not a good one.

I feel more and more uncomfortable with the actual lack of practical knowledge of dev/sysadmins/architects that comes out of schools to directly push stuff in production that are shit.

25 years I do this job, 25 years I know how to avoid SQL injections, 25 years I get fired for asking we remove these from our code base, as much as obsolete ciphers, shell injection, cookie theft, mechanism that result in amplification of DOS ...

Well, if computer industry want to lose the trust of their customers by not hiring competent workers, they began by losing mine.

And I do encourage people actively to back all their valuable they can from internet nowadays. This industry is irresponsible.

Marie Curie thought she knew well education and institution were sexists crap : French Science Academy & institutions tried to bar her from being the first french PhD and the first ever Nobel prize in hard Science).

So she decided to make a pool of education with other colleagues that resulted in her daughter being a legitimate scientific and the second Nobel prize in chemistry.

So I will say I don't respect zuckerberg, I do respect Marie Curie going on the battlefield experimenting as a nurse the first X ray radiography dispositive to save life.

Oh, Marie was as French as Polish.

You also have a big critic of Feynman on modern education and the cult of the expert (Cargo cult science was first written as a critic of US education).

Modern security especially for this kind of amount of money would really worth having an out of bond validation of money transfer.

Not taxing transaction does not means that transactions should have non null costs. So de facto the minimal tax that should be imposed to money transactions on the internet MUST be a strong real authentication of the persons out of the internet plan to validate transactions.

Else, we are just letting frauders have a good incentive to cheat. Especially since the victims are all forced to pay by subscribing insurance covering internet frauds thus internet payment actors have no incentive to stop the fraud since it is pumping their bebefits.

The amazing fact about sparta is they were outnumbered 1 vs 10 by their slaves.

Slaves that oppositely to Athena they would overwork, underprotect and overtrain to be their cannon folder. Basically overpowering and overnumbering the citizens.

And only twice over centuries did they have revolts. Once from the Thebans that valued critical thinking.

Else, every culture seems to be more likely to more easy to exploit the more they were exploited.

The "ilotes" paradox. Exploitation of slaves seems to make them more obedient to their exploitation.

Oh my. No one has noticed the men programming the IA and constantly moving in the code and changing pipes of data?

Just like dwarves in a mechanical Türk?

AI problem is a detection problem : how can you make sure the AI is right? And who will be liable for the mistakes?
The problem is AI don't doubt...and they can fail. So they can fail in all the more catastrophic way they are trusted.

Don't put any hope in false Gods.

Anyway the grasshopers of IT have harvested all the monopoly potential of the cloud, so now they are jumping to a new scam to collect new money for a new field that may even not be possible.

Athen used to be fine and non imperialist until it stopped being an imperfect democracy to embrace Plato's "meritocratic" Republic based on fame and money.

Then, greek civilization disappeared in a war driven by the private interest of a few incompetent selfish people.

Such as Alcibiade, the one described as Socrates lover. Plato's master.

Remember Periclès words that echoes Eisenhower's. Ploutocracy is the ennemy of democracy.
