We live in a rural area where our only available internet connection is by way of satellite. One result is that no location service ever knows where we are. They will think we are in California one minute and Ohio the next. If I understand this new technology correctly, this might hamper our use of services such as Netflix.

After Google was fined billions of dollars for giving free apps to Europeans, Google has agreed to stop being so evil.
Google will now charge Europeans for the apps.
Other providers of free stuff for Europeans should take note and begin charging.

My general policy is "Don't feed trolls." But I cannot help but wonder if Anonymous Coward is someone who has been "educated" by social "scientists."

"Every major university is wrestling with how to adapt to the technology wave of artificial intelligence -- how to prepare students not only to harness the powerful tools of A.I., but also to thoughtfully weigh its ethical and social implications."

Given that the so-called social "sciences" are motived primarily by ideology and less so by a quest for truth, I suspect that the primary purpose of the effort is to "educate" young professionals entering the AI field in their "social responsibilities."

The anger should not be a matter of concern and should be ignored.
  If asked what he thinks about the matter, Zuckerberg should say "But I don't think about it."

Too many drivers adjust the side mirrors to give essentially the same view as the rearview mirror. Doing so creates blind spots.

Side mirrors should be adjusted to give a good view of cars approaching in the side lanes or driving in the side lane outside one's peripheral vision.

I remember when America Online was making it impossible for anyone else to compete. Today, Apple makes it impossible for makers of flip phones to compete. Thank the gods for that!

Google, Facebook, etc are spending billions of their own shareholder's money to give them a good return on their investment. This is exactly what they should be doing and they should be praised for their success. These corporations profit by providing services for which people clamor. They make our lives better. Hopefully, they and other mega-corporations will continue to do so long into the future.

If you want to compete you need to have a good product that people prefer over the offerings of other competitors. There is no reason to get upset over such a state of affairs.

Previous plans for towing icebergs have involved surrounding them with a skirt once it arrives at its destination. As the iceberg melts, the lighter fresh water floats on top of the heavier salt water,forcing the sea water out the bottom of the skirt. The skirt would have to extend high enough above sea level to keep the pressure of the heavier sea water on the sides of the skirt from squeezing the fresh water out the top, like squeezing tooth paste out of a tube.

Thanks for the clarification on the campus location. So it is unfortunate land use planning, then. I suspected the heavy hand of government--the usual suspect when supply and demand are out of whack.

This is very odd. Most universities are surrounded by scores of apartment buildings. And if real estate is too expensive close to campus, there are usually lots of apartment buildings further away but with shuttle buses to campus.
When demand is high, supply increases to fill the demand. This is how capitalism works. Why is capitalism not working in Silicon Valley? Why are developers not flooding into the area to build lots of rental units? Perhaps the university should focus on answering that question. I suspect they employ a few economists.

If this can be done to providers of digital media, what is to stop it being done to brick and mortar bookshops?
Will Lower Slobovia demand bookstores to fill 40% of its shelf space with Lower Slobovian authors? This would not be very popular with the bookshop owners. And it would not necessarily be applauded by their customers either.

New wealth does not "get created" out of thin air. Someone created it.

This is the evasion at the root of the "guaranteed income" scheme.

An AI is a machine. If a person uses machines to create wealth, then that person created the wealth and the wealth belongs to that person. To consider only the fact that the wealth "gets created" but not the fact that it is created by "someone" is to evade the fact that one is advocating the theft and redistribution of wealth.

This scheme has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. It is the same ancient desire to live at the expense of other, more productive people. So move along, nothing new to see here, just the same old envy and avarice which has plagued mankind from the beginning.

More people will be working out of their own home and will not need a car for a daily commute to work. Already, Walmart and other grocery stores will deliver your groceries. Very soon, the cost of owning a personal automobile--car payments, insurance, taxes, maintenance, repairs, etc--will be much higher than using Uber or Lyft for local travel and car rental for out of town travel. And the Uber, Lyft and rental cars will be self-driving (like the old days when the horse knew the way home.)
