I can't wait to see what innovations we get from this rivalry of intelligent machines.

I usually listen to synth wave when I study because it gives me a euphoric feeling.

It will be a long while but I feel we will experience a breakthrough in ai.

It's inventions like these that truly benefit humanity.

But saying something is insecure doesn't make it secure.

Yes it does, it forces people to avoid it, indirectly forcing the creator to make it secure.

Avoiding it doesn't push to make it secure, communicating with the creator directly will.

It's unreasonable to expect Google to email every website owner in the world to tell them to switch to TLS.

Lots of people avoiding it will give the creator a much bigger incentive, though.

No. However, Google have a plan for this. Apparently right now HTTPS is considered a 'strong signal' in google rankings, which normally gets the message to most site owners/product people.

Artificial intelligence shows little promise of developing any time soon but still shows promise over long term development.

AI has been ten years away for over 10 years so.. it's just around the corner now!

Yes, but these days, it can actually identify whether or not a photograph contains a bird.

YouTube has been dying for years now

> YouTube has been dying for years now

If by "dying" you mean "growing up into mass-market, big-money commercial media" then, sure, its been dying.

Nobody goes there anymore -- it's too crowded.

Too crowded for what, though?

The comments threads have always been an internet Mos Eisley cess-pit, so I'm unconvinced the social aspect have ever been particularly prevalent, and the competition amongst content creators is obviously intense, but to say nobody goes there is just plain wrong.

Heck, the content glut means the likely hood of hitting relevant content quickly is higher than ever, quality notwithstanding.

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" is a classic joke.

Oh christ... That moment when you realise a joke has sailed clean over your head? Yep. Exactly that.

Too late to edit and spare my blushes sadly. Still, it got a sheepish chuckle out of me when I finally twigged, so it's not all bad news!

Somebody should do a video startup that values free expression and adult topics of discussion, and eat their lunch. Oh, and cat videos.

If you can find a way to get the people either providing or consuming the media to pay, that might work (though not so much at eating YouTube's lunch as serving a different market).

If you want to monetize that with advertising, good luck: YouTube's content restrictions follow the general trend of big advertising-supported media, because its what the paying customers for that want.

Yup.

It's why the walking dead can show gratuitous over the top violence, but they have save "They're fucking with the wrong people" for the blu-ray.

Can't have that swearing. Oh no.

I wouldn't expect anything really big to happen for a while.

What if the signal is not artificial?

This is the most probable case. No real claim here on the artificial nature. I think the key thing is in this quote:

> "Basically, if the signal was beamed out into the galaxy without aim or direction, that would require an enormous amount of power to actually be detected."

So there's too much energy involved, hence it might be artificial.

What I don't see anywhere is details about the signal, but that's probably what they going to announce on September 27. Sigh, that's a long time to wait.

That seems plausible

There's too many factors to say the zone may be habitable for life.

"may" being the word that makes it true.
