"Ethically Aligned Design: A Vision for Prioritizing Human Wellbeing with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems (AI/AS)"

http://standards.ieee.org/develop/indconn/ec/ead_v1.pdf

think this book is a particularly interesting read, especially considering the U.S. election opera of 2016:

"Infomocracy" -by Malka Order.

+++ some other favorites:

When Breath Becomes Air. -by Paul Kalanithi.

Arkwright. -by Allen Steele.

The God's Eye View. -by Barry Eisler.

Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley. -by Antonio Garcia Martinez.

Ego Is the Enemy. -by Ryan Holiday.

think the moratorium is over:

Ed Ou's message about his ordeal:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1010462428012239...

its a wordplay + bias by mainstream media.

expats = migrants from the 'elite' class. educated, wealthy, well-connected etc. most often referred to persons from so called '1st/2nd world' countries.

immigrants = migrants from the 'cattle' class. not-so-rich, varied education, mostly non-caucasians. most often referred to persons from so called '3rd world' countries.

Its not off-topic at all. the portrayal of Ev Williams in this article looked to me as very disingenuous & deceitful. Ev is not just another board member + co-founder. He has as much stake in seeing Twitter succeed as anyone else.

Without his whole-hearted support at Odeo dont think Twitter would have gotten off the ground. We gotta remember Ev founded Blogger, before Twitter, and Medium after. So he certainly has perspectives on how communications + media evolving in the digital era.

Edit: Typos + Syntax!

"freedom" of speech! indeed!!

>> Politicians really don't know how to tackle this problem, because no one from our culture room really understands the problem....

- ah but that is not entirely true! politicians do know what to do, but it is a tricky path. 》 move away from the Saudis & their cohorts in gulf arab countries. ISIS, AQ, AL Shahab etc are all ideological offshoots of Salafist/Wahhabist nexus. Counter this at the root (financially/ideologically/politically) and almost certain that 90% of the so called islamist extremism would flicker out.

this is going to be a multi year / multi pronged approach, and would need co-ordinated efforts by all kinds of actors (i.e. western + muslim governments, NGOs, religious groups etc). also a stellar idea would be to start giving more support to pluralistic streams of Islam i.e. Sufi, Ismaili, (some of the) Hanafi & like-minded faiths.

ha! small world, I am from Bangladesh too!

anyway, the fish dish that you mentioned ( i.e. "Shutki")is kinda on the extreme/fringe side of Bengali cuisine. its not adored by many people. heck even my own parents do not like it. although me & my siblings love it!

isn't there a duplicate posting filter in HN? I posted the same article (atleast an hour or two before the current one) earlier (1). this happened few times now!

or am I missing something obvious? thought the filter is supposed to prevent dupe posts?! @dang ? @sctb ?

Canada?

"The Legatum Prosperity Index" (1), states that: "Canada is now the freest (sic) country in the world, having risen five places to 1st in the Personal Freedom sub-index." (2)

see this also. "Freedom in the World 2015" (3)

networking is best done when you see it as relationship building - which takes time & effort. as few others said here, a non-transactional approach is the best way to create a network with value.

one of my all-time favorite resource in this regard is this book: "Work The Pond". it totally alligns with my own philosophy + values.

>> Vancouver is Canada, with lots of undeveloped spaces available......It can be safely increased in size many times.

- That is not correct. Vancouver proper is hampered re: expansion because of mountains and sea. It has limited availability of lands for development. Only way it can meet demand for housing is via vertical (i.e. condos) vs. horizontal (i.e. houses) ecpansion. But there is substantial local resistance to highrises, especially outside the downtown/west end area.
