For the seriousness of this bug 12k doesn't seem like much to me. I don't know if I would turn it in for that little. With my personal dislike of facebook, the alternative is so very, very tempting..

what's strange to me is why not continue to delay. how much money are they blowing by letting it land in the ocean? I suppose they are under some kind of contractual obligation?

What lack of oversight? If anti-vaxxers think somehow vaccines got added into the system for the hell of it or purely for profit, that's only going to make them look insane. You can spread out vaccinations all you want, you just have

Wouldn't a simple solution simply be a vent? Constantly vent out all the air in the machine. Seems a lot more effective than trying to build bomb proof hardware...

Stop assuming AI will have emotions or feelings, that is purely an animal thing. If we come to a point that a conscious AI is possible, do you think it will have wonder, interest, awe, curiosity? No, why would it? It's impossible for

We just don't have all the answers yet. We are at a strange era in human history. We have had privacy for eons, and now we may not. We can't even answer the question "do we need privacy?" If you were raised with no pr

I've been giving this a lot of thought lately because of Musk and Hawking. I think they are wrong, for a couple simple reasons. 1) A true AI wont care about us, or probably anything. It may just suicide. 2) Very simple to destroy. E

What I dislike about Jobs was his lack of philanthropism. He had all the money in the world and gave away nothing, which means he didn't give a shit about the rest of the world. He was approached by Gates as part of the Giving Pledge
