Yes. America is stuck in the stone age when it comes to this stuff.

> Pichai is beset on all sides by people who expect Google to move mountains, reinvent itself

TIL not showing fake news or having your advertisers associated with ISIS videos is "moving mountains".

> Discussing the issue, Pichai deploys the vocabulary of an apologetic CEO that’s become de rigueur in Silicon Valley since last November. He says the word “thoughtful” 13 times and “deeply” (feeling, listening, en

I'm reminded of the BP CEO on South Park. Not that he's actually anything like that guy, it's just what comes to mind.

> Pichai’s solution to the gnawing problems of fake news and illicit content that slip through Google artificial intelligence is, no surprise, more artificial intelligence

Of course it is. What do they say the definition of insanity is again?

> has stirred general alarm about AI; he thinks computers that make their own decisions and are smarter than people could enslave humanity.

at least google isn't saying this.

It was an unintended side effect of attempting to use gene augmentation developed for humans, causing a mutation and disease to spread. They developed a cure with help from the crew of the enterprise/phlox but that cure didn't immediately fix the mutations, it took generations.

That's why I called it an accident.

I'm not.

> A lawsuit challenging the doctrine on First Amendment grounds, Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission , reached the Supreme Court in 1969. The Court ruled unanimously that while broadcasters have First Amendment speech rights, the fact that the spectrum is owned by the government and merely leased to broadcasters gives the FCC the right to regulate news content.

The fairness doctrine was not found to be unconstitutional.

They have literally had laws enforcing fairness in media.

Fox news is heavily criticized for their biased reporting and editorial standards. That would be the comparison to criticism of HN modding policies.

You're argument seems like a strawman. I don't think anyone has argued that HN should operate with no moderation whatsoever.

It's still censorship either way.

I too prefer my echo chambers to be free of wrong-think.

None of that controversy in my safe space either.

Generations, These are the voyages.

I still think that the Klingons just got plastic surgery after they accidentally turned themselves into human looking peoples in Enterprise.

> It leaves the impression that McFarlane is a genuine Star Trek fan and The Orville is more an homage than a ripoff

If you didn't realize that you must have done exactly zero research. Notice how he's had the entire cast of TNG on family and has been working with Patrick Stewart for years? Notice the huge numbers of star trek and other sci-fi references spread through family guy?

"We're developing an OS"

"It's linux"

Boring.

> I believe Google has considerably more goodwill

I wish this idea would die. They are an ad company. They want to stuff themselves into every facet of your life and milk you for information.

There is lots of reasons to not buy better stuff.

I own mostly cheap furniture because good stuff is a very expensive commitment, for example.

> 500 apt

My shitty apartment in a small city (80k) was 615 a month.

100 dollars a month for gas/water/power?

You need internet for that media consumption.

You need gas for that car.

Cell phone?

Food?

It's not more than enough for a person without dependents to live comfortably.

it's enough that you won't starve to death.

and do those people live lifestyles I would want?

Maybe millenials think that this whole "if you don't let white supremacists march through the streets with guns then democracy will fail" is a rather silly notion.

No it's not.

It's ridiculous to whine about skill shortages while simultaneously having a strange amount of pride in your overwrought false-negative prone hiring process.

I think reusable rockets are cool, and I think musk is impressive.

I'm just not a member of the cult of Elon. I think he follows a path of aim impossibly high, be happy with getting pretty far. People instead take it as "he's literally going to do everything".

heh.

Reminds me of when an actual AI expert pointed out that by making dire predictions about smart AI, that we are nowhere near having, keeps eyes off the autopilot system and the issues with that.

But I thought this all came to our god king in a dream.

I wonder where this company would be if the original paper was written by pretty much anyone other than Musk.

I can buy an overpriced condo in Seattle.

rather have a place with a bit of space.

It's also way cheaper to hire software devs, and they can bring in immigrants easily.

If they put it in Calgary I'd consider moving. That salary hit is massive though.

Seattle does face real problems with housing prices and poor transit infrastructure.

dumb title.

nitpicking.

equating innocent, if terse, comments with threats.

Why am I reading what this person has to say?
