Software is only as good as the code. Code is only as good as the coder. How many coders does it take to screw up a lightbulb ? Just one. People working on this shit studied at the (((best schools))), e.g., IIT, MIT, and so on, and only have one skillset: the ability to remember and follow orders. The AI will only be as "intellegent" as the dumbfukcs working at Microsift and Toor.

Cryptocurrency: Industry Observer Whitepapers
by grarpamp 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/research/centres/alternativ… Global Cryptocurrency Benchmarking Study - April 2017 This is the first study to systematically investigate key cryptocurrency industry sectors by collecting empirical, non-public data. The study gathered survey data from nearly 150 cryptocurrency companies and individuals, and it covers 38 countries from five world regions. The study details the key industry sectors that have emerged and the different entities that inhabit them. Some of the key findings include the following: The current number of unique active users of cryptocurrency wallets is estimated to be between 2.9 million and 5.8 million. The lines between the different cryptocurrency industry sectors are increasingly blurred: 31 per cent of cryptocurrency companies surveyed are operating across two cryptocurrency industry sectors or more, giving rise to an increasing number of universal cryptocurrency companies. At least 1,876 people are working full- time in the cryptocurrency industry, and the actual total figure is likely well above two thousand when large mining organisations and other organisations that did not provide headcount figures are added. Average security headcount and costs for payment companies and exchanges as a percentage of total headcount/operating expenses are similar, but significantly higher for wallets.

Fwd: [ PFIR ] It's now illegal in Russia to share an image of Putin as a gay clown

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility) Announcement List" < pfir(a)pfir.org> Date: Apr 5, 2017 22:18 Subject: [ PFIR ] It's now illegal in Russia to share an image of Putin as a gay clown It's now illegal in Russia to share an image of Putin as a gay clown https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/ 04/05/its-now-illegal-in-russia-to-share-an-image-of-putin-as-a-gay-clown/ Russia has banned a picture depicting President Vladimir Putin as a potentially gay clown. Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share. Because, you know, it's been banned. But the picture was described last week on the Russian government's list of things that constitute "extremism." - - - Oh, God! I can't share Putin-gay-clown images anymore! What will I do in my free time?! :-o The guy isn't smart, hahaha!! Censorship banning a meme is pretty stupid. He's begging for a viral, woohoo!! :D # Cute Bonus: - There are long months, I am waiting for this battle. I'm Japanese. It's in my genetics to love giant robots with passion! :D http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/5/15192948/giant-robot-duel-megabots-date-ve…
