most humans will become permanently unemployable since there will be nothing they can do that a robot can't do better and cheaper, which means there will be too few consumers to create demand for the products the robots can create. The only way out will be to vest humans at birth with ownership shares in the robot means of production, as Noah Smith has suggested, creating a post-capitalist society of hereditary aristocratic humans and robot slaves.

Qworty’s edits undermine our trust in this great project. Qworty’s edits prove that Wikipedia’s content can be shaped by people settling grudges and acting out of spite and envy. Qworty alone, by his own account, has made 13,000 edits to Wikipedia. And Qworty, as the record will show, is not to be trusted.

So we work through workshops. Prototyping, iterating, communicating… going from concept to version one.
But in recent years, companies have been asking us what connected products mean for them. Are there new features? New product categories? New business models? And what we’ve found is that it’s hard to prototype.

Nonetheless, Puente Hills is now a sufficiently large landform to generate its own microclimate and wind patterns—with the effect that several gigantic fans and berms dot the edges of the plateau, to keep wind from blowing over residential areas of Whittier.
Meanwhile, what look like large fishing rods stuck into the ground are actually bird deterrents. "In the old days," says Hewitt, "they would just shoot a sea gull in the morning—this was back in the 1960s or 70s. They’d wing a seagull, leave it out, and it would squawk and warn the other seagulls away. You don’t do that anymore."

According to Viollet-le-Duc, the subtraction process followed a very precise rhombohedral prismatic pattern consistent throughout the whole. Mont Blanc thus acts as one huge crystal formation—every edge, every peak and aiguille follows a geodesic structure. The pattern creates a network of cells, a type of formation that Viollet-le-Duc found also at the micro level in glacial formation. This hexagonal configuration, based upon the equilateral triangle, proved the most fundamental and consistent principle of organization within Viollet-le-Duc’s late writings and architecture.

But most sharing is done via dark social means like email and IM that are difficult to measure.
3. According to new data on many media sites, 69% of social referrals came from dark social. 20% came from Facebook.

How we guffawed a mist of flat white coffee onto our iPads when a survey said that half of Americans think that stormy weather affects cloud computing [1]. But they were right. The infrastructure running cloud computing both suffers and generates its own weather.

But look again at the graphs above. Now imagine similar graphs for the Android source code. Any company with Android-based products that wants to be truly free from Google’s control has to be prepared—and able—to match Google’s output.

Sidste eksempel på bogens støjniveau: Hans Bonde "mener ikke, at det er særlig relevant, at kvinderne ’først’ fik stemmeret i 1915", og ja, den er god nok, der er anførselstegn om ’først’.

I could, in theory, at this point attempt to build a version of this phone for myself, with minimal cash investment. It feels like open-source, but it’s not: it’s a different kind of open ecosystem.

Of course, you can’t just call up Mediatek and buy these; and it’s extremely difficult to engage with them “going through the front door” to do a design. Don’t even bother; they won’t return your calls.

You can't imagine the feeling of triumph when I first saw the telltale signs of burning iron: sparks bursting from the metal, and then a rush of flame out of the other side as I witnessed perhaps the first-ever example of bacon-cut steel.

John Guillory made the counterintuitive suggestion that the exhausting canon debates of the 1980s culture wars were really “a crisis in the market value of [the literary curriculum’s] cultural capital, occasioned by the emergence of a professional-managerial class which no longer requires the [primarily literary] cultural capital of the old bourgeoisie.”

But the idea that the Internet is just a concept goes only so far. Even if it is dangerous to overgeneralize, we necessarily use concepts all the time, such as “the United States” or the “NFL.” It sometimes makes sense to discuss the future of the United States, or the Internet, as one entity, even if we know it may change. For Morozov, however, any such discussions amount to “Internet-centrism,” which for him seems to be a kind of thought crime.

Gibson er meget bevidst om - og tak for det - hvor overfladisk science fiction egentlig er, hvor utrolig forkert meget vås fra science fiction bøgerne er, og han er bevidst om hvordan han selv har brugt sine forudsigelser: Det er billeder. Ikke ting, begreber, teorier, men lige netop billeder - overflader.

Det har jeg altid opfattet som en anerkendelse af min flid og arbejdsomhed, men i disse leverpostejtider, hvor selv skolelæreres arbejdsforhold skal justeres, så de kommer til at ligne fabriksarbejderes, får man unægtelig en vis mistanke: vor tids næsten lydløse computere giver jo ingen som helst mulighed for at kontrollere, at en ægtemand og forfatter overhovedet bestiller noget! Fedteriet med pen og papir fra morgenstunden, er der ingen andre end ham selv, der kan læse, og det kan jo være hvad som helst.

The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus.

Competing botnet programs such as one known as Aidra infected as many as 30,000 embedded devices including the Linux-powered Dreambox TV receiver and other devices that run on a MIPS hardware.

A lot of devices and services we have seen during our research should never be connected to the public Internet at all," the guerilla researcher concluded in a 5,000-word report titled Internet Census 2012: Port scanning /0 using insecure embedded devices.

I remember sitting with Morozov at Stanford in March of last year, when he told me that his goal for the work was to destroy the concept of "the Internet" in the way that historians of science had destroyed the concept of "science." But try asking a scientist if that's happened. The Berkeley anthropologist of science, Paul Rabinow, put it well. "A major gap has developed today between scientists' self-representation and the representations of scientists by those who study them," he wrote in a 1996 book. "While this discrepancy is of little consequence for practicing scientists (most will have never heard of its existence), it provides much of the subject matter and the authority for the social studies of science."

Or take the use of pedometers, gussied up into packages like the Nike Fuel Band, Jawbone Up, or Fitbit. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pedometers and other activity monitors out there in America, but Morozov does not try to investigate how such devices are used. Are the people buying FitBits and Nike Fuel Bands trying to reveal deep inner truths about themselves? Are they sharing every bit and bite with friends? Or are they trying to lose a few pounds in private?

Morozov's book is an innovation- and product-centered account of the deployment of technology. It focuses on marketing rhetoric, on the stories Silicon Valley tells about itself. And it refutes these stories with all the withering contempt that a brilliant person can muster over the course of a few years of dedicated reading and writing. But it does not devote any time to the stories the bulk of technology users tell themselves. It relies on wild anecdotes from newspaper accounts as if they were an adequate representation of the user base of these technologies.

His books read like letters from a jilted lover, full of accusations of unmet promises, lost potential, and occasionally, a glimmer of that initial spark of attraction.
And he is a truly great critic. Morozov's work reveals new things about how technology works in our society at this particular moment in time. His analysis may be cutting, but he doesn't hate technology. On the contrary, Morozov's ultimate goal is to destroy the ideology of technology, so that particular technologies can be used in specific situations without the baggage of other people's nonsense.

Men så en dag i 1970 underviste han en flok marxister på Arkitektskolen.– For dem var samfundet alt, mens individet – jeget – blev udelukket.Det fik ham til at tænke på Treenigheden i kristendommen – Faderen, Sønnen og Helligånden, som han i sin undervisning "oversatte" til "Samfundet, Sproget og jeg-et".

Most sites -- save the NYT, Drudge, and a handful of others -- can't send massive amounts of readers to stories. Traffic causality runs the other way: Individual stories live or die out there in the social world and that brings readers to theatlantic.com. A post has to succeed on its own, although a bigger brand, with more social tools and bigger homepage treatment can give it what I call "activation energy," the necessary but not sufficient first push into the web.

Der var kun tale om et fuldtidsstudie 1-2 uger i hvert semester. Arbejdsbyrden
var så lav, at jeg i et semester havde et fuldtidsjob ved siden af mit
såkaldte fuldtidsstudie.
Det var intet problem at have et fuldtidsjob ved siden af mit studie, da stort
set alle mine eksamener fungerede på den måde, at jeg selv valgte, hvad jeg
ville gå til eksamen i.
Jeg valgte et emne at gå op i, og så forberedte jeg mig kun på det og så bort
fra resten. Hvis jeg manglede bøger på min pensumliste til en opgave, så
skrev jeg bare nogle tilfældige bøger på.

In the Amazon style of “starting from the customer and working backwards”, we produced a “press release” and a FAQ to further detail the how and why of what would become EC2. At this point attention turned from these paper pushing exercises to specifics of getting it built. Most importantly, who would lead the effort?

Seven years ago, when I served as creative director of Wired, I practiced something I called Wrong Theory: Every page we produced had to contain some element that violated the conventions of traditional magazine design. The results were sometimes jarring, but the pages were always more compelling for their trespasses.
