  • All I know is after spending nearly $10 million here in Ohio, right now its neck and neck and it's going to be close to a tie, and somebody will win, but not by much. 
    • Juvy D
       
      there is a close fight between two opposing party. if one wins against the other the result will close to a tie. even if Mitt Romney will spent $10 million in Ohio people still vote who ever they want to vote.

  • What we found is, Gingrich did a nice job in his home state, but I don't even think he had a second place anywhere else ... It's time for conservatives to say 'Look, we're going to rally behind one candidate, Rick Santorum."
    • Juvy D
       
      According to Mitt Romney, Gingrich did a nice job in doing his project particularly the home real estate but he doesn't know if people we give Gingrich a chance once to win. he said it's time for the people to think and look for a change in establishing an institution.
  • We're never going to call on anybody to get out, but what we are calling is on Tea Party supporters and conservatives is to rally behind the only candidate that has demonstrated over and over again that he's the one who can compete against Mitt Romney," Brabender said.

Control AI before it controls us, expert says - Technology & science - Innovation - msn... - 2 views

  • doomsday scenarios could be prevented if humans can create a virtual prison to contain artificial intelligence before it grows dangerously self-aware.
    • ryanhersha
       
      The dangers of self-aware AI might be contained if artificial intelligence were contained in a kind of "prison."
  • One starting solution might trap the artificial intelligence, or AI, inside a "virtual machine" running inside a computer's typical operating system — an existing process that adds security by limiting the AI's access to its host computer's software and hardware.

      The AI "prison" would be located within a "virtual machine" separated somehow from the host computer's other workings, the internet, and people.

The Seattle Times: Martin Luther King Jr. - 4 views

  • The curse of poverty has no justification in our age
    • chester lowe
       
      Poverty can really never be gone from today's world .. With the price of food and gas on the rise and employer's only want to pay the minium wage . The american dollar dosen't go as far as i did 3 year's ago .. Education dose help but the price of college has rose also in the last few year's . If it wasn't for the injury i got while in the military . I would be working a dead end job and working ton of overtime to make ends meet .. So poverty will never really be wiped out !!
  • In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: There are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike.
    • Juvy D
       
      racial discrimination was one the factor that really affects poverty but mlk his concern most of what affects both, i mean the situation among white and negro alike in the society.
  • Up to recently we have proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils: lack of education restricting job opportunities; poor housing which stultified home life and suppressed initiative; fragile family relationships which distorted personality development. The logic of this approach suggested that each of these causes be attacked one by one. Hence a housing program to transform living conditions, improved educational facilities to furnish tools for better job opportunities, and family counseling to create better personal adjustments were designed.
    • Juvy D
       
      this were examples of the causes of poverty

  • fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.
    • Juvy D
       
      the needs of the poor people were not attained in the society.
  • easures were intended to remove the causes of poverty.
  • n addition to the absence of coordination and sufficiency, the programs of the past all have another common failing -- they are indirect. Each seeks to solve poverty by first solving something else.
    • Juvy D
       
      Mlk saying that one of us were seeking for the solution of poverty but instead of focusing to that problem we rather choose to solve and take care of another concerns.
  • am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective -- the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.
    • Juvy D
       
      he claims that simplest approach is not the most effective, but the solution was to have a guaranteed income as one solution to get rid poverty.
  • We have come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are less often dismissed from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands it does not eliminate all poverty.
  • We are likely to find that the problems of housing and education, instead of preceding the elimination of poverty, will themselves be affected if poverty is first abolished. The poor transformed into purchasers will do a great deal on their own to alter housing decay. Negroes, who have a double disability, will have a greater effect on discrimination when they have the additional weapon of cash to use in their struggle.
    • Juvy D
       
      i think his referring to the wrong approach here of solving poverty problem. providing education and housing wasn't the solution either.
  • Beyond these advantages, a host of positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life and in his own hands, when he has the assurance that his income is stable and certain, and when he know that he has the means to seek self-improvement. Personal conflicts between husband, wife and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on a scale of dollars is eliminated.
    • Juvy D
       
      explanation about the advantages of abolishing poverty
  • Two conditions are indispensable if we are to ensure that the guaranteed income operates as a consistently progressive measure. First, it must be pegged to the median income of society, not the lowest levels of income. To guarantee an income at the floor would simply perpetuate welfare standards and freeze into the society poverty conditions. Second, the guaranteed income must be dynamic; it must automatically increase as the total social income grows. Were it permitted to remain static under growth conditions, the recipients would suffer a relative decline. If periodic reviews disclose that the whole national income has risen, then the guaranteed income would have to be adjusted upward by the same percentage. Without these safeguards a creeping retrogression would occur, nullifying the gains of security and stability.
    • Juvy D
       
      two types of conditions which were indispensable if the the guaranteed income will operates as consistently progressive measure.
  • This proposal is not a "civil rights" program, in the sense that that term is currently used. The program would benefit all the poor, including the two-thirds of them who are white. I hope that both Negro and white will act in coalition to effect this change, because their combined strength will be necessary to overcome the fierce opposition we must realistically anticipate.
    • Juvy D
       
      his talking about equality here. he said both white and negro will both benefits with this proposed action measure they come up with to solve the problem of poverty

  • But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.

Reprinted with permission To be of use The people I love the best jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight. They seem to become natives of that element, the black sleek heads of seals bouncing like half-submerged balls. I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what has to be done, again and again. I want to be with people who submerge in the task, who go into the fields to harvest and work in a row and pass the bags along, who are not parlor generals and field deserters but move in a common rhythm when the food must come in or the fire be put out. The work of the world is common as mud. Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust. But the thing worth doing well done has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident. Greek amphoras for wine or oil, Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums but you know they were made to be used. The pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real.
