On one side, a super AI could take all human jobs.

On the other side, a super AI could do all human jobs. Everything becomes so abundant that it's almost free: Unlimited supply, limited demand. We don't have to work anymore and only focus on things that make us happy. A true socialist future.

We are scared just because it's a radical change. Let's not afraid, fellow human.

I can just add 1.1.1.1 as the DNS server in iOS Settings. What's the difference?

Assuming you're living in SF Bay Area with ~120k/year ($10k/month) income:

Your earning after tax is ~$6600 per month. After ~$1800 rent and ~$1700 living costs (transportation, food, utils, ...), you get ~3100 in capital savings.

In Singapore, your personal income tax is nearly zero. To match that savings target and quality of life, you only need to earn SGD 7000 per month (~US $5200/month, or $62k/year) and you gonna spend about $1100 for rent and $900 for everything else (without car).

P/S: I'm a non-US citizen, lived in Philly for 7 years, got 120k offer in SF but declined, now working in Singapore.

They should instead open more dev centers in other locations. e.g. Singapore, HongKong have a lot of talents in the South East Asia area.

I think Bitcoin can be serve as a money transport protocol and Escrow services can be built on top of it. Think about buiding HTTPS on top of HTTP protocol.
Yeah. In trading it's called a Dark Pool.

Re:University of Waterloo Students Win Facebook's Hackathon on Tuesday December 04, 2012 @05:24PM (#4873644)
In the US, there is Drexel University which also has an awesome co-op program. Many students here had worked in employers like Fb, Google, MS, Amazon, ... and then have fulltime offers.

So if you want to stay in the US and have the co-op, go to Drexel.

is that a hiring event where a lot of people come at once for the interview? Did you have to go through the phone interview?
Re:Waiting for Amazon interview result on Saturday November 05, 2011 @12:22AM (#3198916)
