In companies that I have worked for that want to use AI; they always have a clause in the privacy agreement allowing employees to look at users' content in order to determine how well the algorithm was doing.
There are some differences: 1. PII was redacted (to the extent possible); 2. Customer could opt-out.; 3. the AI wasn't core to the service.
That said - sci-fi AI does seem to require humans behind the curtain.
Personally, I am more comfortable with a human being my virtual "AI" assistant than I am with real AI. I feel a human is less likely to make a mistake that will cause me personal damage, there is more responsibility/liability to doing a good job.
Any criticism of "precision" is kind of pointless - even today it is difficult to determine population any many countries or cities. Population is too fluid. What is important is relative size not exact mathematical precision.
Here are some more common barriers. Notice that these are 'assets' that are not controlled by the couple:
* Social Security with survivor benefits * Pension payouts * Health Insurance coverage (1 person's job has HC, the other doesn't)
How can you muck this up!
I thought it was C++'s job to turn something simple/elegant into an indecipherable mess!
There are already solutions in the article:
> The three PUDs have been experimenting with policies that force miners to shoulder these extra costs and risks, while insulating ratepayers and the utilities themselves.
>1 .Chelan County, for example, created a special rate for miners and other so-called “high density loads,” or HDLs, back in 2015, that was effectively twice the residential rate.
> 2. Douglas County, meanwhile, began requiring miners to pay up front for any new infrastructure.
> 3. Grant County PUD is establishing special rates applied to companies “whose primary revenue stream is evolving and unproven” and whose product is “vulnerable to extreme value fluctuations.”
> In one instance last year, the transformer outside a bootleg miner’s home overheated and touched off a grass fire, Chelan County PUD officials say.
Seriously, the idea of smart contracts can truly be of value if attacks like this are no longer possible.
But every app company loses out.
1. A ferry can be inspected continuously - after every run, end of day, end of season, etc.
2. The sail can be in the ideal position.
3. The sail will not get damaged during the loading/unloading process.
They were never investigated. Looking back to earlier banking meltdowns, plenty of crimes were discovered. See for just such an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis
It is a perfectly reasonable to suspect that similar crimes were also committed.
You could also look at the court cases at : http://4closurefraud.org/ Many of the foreclosure cases involve banks not being able to demonstrate that they actually had standing to foreclose on houses. For example: http://4closurefraud.org/2018/02/09/fl-3rd-dca-reverses-ruli...
> But they still don’t seem to grasp what’s been lost, or why. It’s easy to dismiss the disappearance of factory jobs as a past misstep—with a “we’re not getting those jobs back” and a sigh. Then again, you can’t know that for sure if you never try.
If there is one thing that Obama did that was vital to the US it was saving of the automotive industry in 2008. He did this in spite of the "learned" economic experts saying otherwise.
Too bad, he didn't ignore them with the banks and jail the bankers.
Poor: "Why should I go to university?"
Ok: "Are you going to university?"
Better: "Which university are you going to?"
Best: "Are you going to X, Y, Z university?"
In other words, how much does the community value education?
Red states as demonstrated by their budget choices do not value education. There may be a few local exceptions. As a general statement, Kansas budget choices has demonstrated hostility to quality education. Kansas has demonstrated that tax cuts > education.
No tourism or things to do that are different.
Miles and miles of miles and miles.....
I might move back to my home state in the Midwest, if they got rid of their own Brownback equivalent... but Kansas... meh.
Sorry!

Congress doesn't need to understand anything in order to pass a law concerning it.
Apple is simply choosing to focus their efforts on their platform.
"Kick ’em Jenny is considered most dangerous for ships and boats since it is constantly releasing gases that can lower the density of the water, causing vessels to sink even if when not erupting. For this reason, the alert level is kept at a constant YELLOW, with a permanent 1.5km exclusion zone around the summit of the volcano"
When I see rude chat messages, I just instantly block that person.
Its not enjoyable and it makes it hard to use chat to coordinate the team.
However, later on maybe use "Rachel" as a way to start banning "customers".
How about selected comments are attached to their videos as metatext :-) ?
There needs to be less internet witch hunts and more corrective action.
On the internet, response goes from 0 to 100 with no steps in between.
Its either ignored in the hope anti-social behavior gets corrected or it turns into a full on witch hunt of internet shaming.
I really wish Google would age out search results on people.
