A great discussion on OS use in Computer Science education
What makes Windows a “bad” OS? Why does the computer science world force Linux on you?
I have worked on linux in school and I don’t hate it but I don’t see what it has that windows doesn’t (so far). The differences I do see on linux are manually done things, things that are automated on windows. Besides being free and no viruses(because I have avoided viruses my whole life through smart web searching/downloading) what are advantages over windows? *Also why can’t a computer scientist like me fix the problems windows does have*? I mean isn’t that the purpose of my degree? I’m sorry if I sound like a windows fanboy but I just want a totally performance/convenience based reasoning.
*I know windows is closed source but let’s just say I mean to join Microsoft and help fix it*

Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI
With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It’s an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.
Elitism
50% below average IQ. We’re lucky not to get a UKIP-type surge more often. Elitist? Well I admit I’d rather be GOVERNED by an elite.

World War 3 will be started because the auto-translate screwed up….
This is discussion on FB with Dutch speakers ironically about robotics and the end of jobs. The person I was talking with, reponded with this reply
De ontwikkeling gaat steeds verder, maar het zal toch eerst het geestdodende werk worden dat wordt gerobotiseerd.
Ook de pizzabakker blijft …
Using Facebook’s auto translate, I got this.
The development will continue, but it will still work the stultifying first be being robotised.
Also remains the pizza…
I jumped on Google’s Translate and got this.
The development is progressing, but it will first be drudgery that robotized.
The pizza chef remains
