I read the news today, oh boy! - Ruby - 05-01-2017

^^Not sure whether the fact that it’s actually a ‘critical’ scholarly edition makes the fact that it’s a bestseller any more palatable, but anyway, a rationale here, from the Institute for Contemporary History, which appears to be self-publishing the book …

An insurance firm in Japan called Fukoku Mutual Life is laying off 34 staff employees and replacing them with an AI system. The system was made by IBM and based on Japan Ltd's Watson which IBM calls a "cognitive technology that can think like a human."

Interesting indeed. A study by World Economic Forum predicted last year that the rise of robots and AI would result in a net loss of 5.1 million jobs over the next five years in 15 leading countries. The 15 economies covered in the survey account for approximately 65% of the world's workforce. Oh no.

What about the shootings in Fort Lauderdale - at least five dead Read they've caught him but who was the guy?
And another question is, will these shootings never stop? Would rewriting the gun law (not sure bout this expression, but you get it) do any difference?
Personally, I find that law really strange, but that's only my opinion...

Currently, the primary suspect for the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting is Esteban Santiago, 26, and has a US military ID on him. He took a flight from Anchorage, Alaska to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Don't know if this is for real or not but if it is he's not wasting any time is he. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-orders-ambassadors-appointed-obama-050405279.html

Well, yeah Trump has a new foreign policy strategy and he's already chosen some new ambassadors. Ambassadors usually change with a new administration. So Trump isn't exactly unique here though he probably prefers ones who agree with his strategy. Caroline Kennedy recently stepped down as Ambassador to Japan of her own volition.

He plans on undoing as much of Obama's legacy as he can.
