Leave The Driving
to Us
Machines can make decisions. That doesn’t
mean they’re right.
So
you can’t wait for a self-driving
car to take away the drudgery of driving? Me neither! But consider
this scenario, recently posed by neuroscientist Gary Marcus :
your car is on a narrow bridge when a school bus veers into
your lane. Should your self-driving car plunge off the bridge-sacrificing
your life t save those of the children? Obviously, you won’t
make the call. You’ve ceded that decision to the car’s algorithms.
You better hope that you agree with its choice. This
is a dramatic dilemma, to be sure. But it’s not a
completely unusual one. The truth is, our tools increasingly
guide and shape our behavior or even make decisions
on our behalf. A small but growing chorus of writers and scholars
think we’re going too far. By taking human decisionmaking
out of the equation, we’re slowly stripping away deliberation-moments
where we reflect on the morality of our actions.
Not
all of these situations are so life-and-death. Some are quite
prosaic, like the welter of new gadgets that try to “nudge” us into
better behavior. In his new book To Save Everything, Click Here, Evgency Morozov casts
a skeptical eye on this stuff. He tells me about a recent example
he’s seen : a “smart fork” that monitors how much you’re eating
and warns you if you’re overdoing it.
Fun
and useful, you might argue. But for Morozov, tools like the fork
reduce your incentive to think about how you’re eating,
and the deeper political questions of why todays food
ecosystem is so enfattening. “Instead of regulating the
food industry to make food healthier,” Morozov says, “we’re giving
people smart forks”.
Or
as Evan Selinger, a philosopher at Rochester intitute
of technology, puts it, tools that make hard thing easy can make us
less likely to tolerate things that are hard. Outsourcing our
self-control to “digital power” has consequences: use siri
constantly to get instant information and you can erode
your ability to be patient in the face of complete
answers, a crucial civic virtue.
Things
get even dicier when society at large outsources its
biggest moraldecisios to technology. For example, some police
departments have begu using PredPol, a system that mines crime
data to predict future criminal activity, guiding
police to areas they might otherwise overlook. It appears
to work, cutting some crime by up to 27 percent. It lets chronically
underfunded departments do more wvth less.
But
as Morozov points out, the algorithms could wind up amplifying
flaws in existing law enforcement. For example , sexual violence
is historically underreported, so it can’t as easily
be predicted. Remove the deliberation of what police
focus on and you can wind up deforming policing.

Applications That I Love
The more sophisticated the
technology the more interesting variety of applications. Apps that I think is very interesting this time
is instagram because it is popular and cool. The popularity of Instagram as a
social media, a lot of people who do not know the true meaning of the
application tersebut.Instagram composed of two words, namely "Insta"
and "Gram". The first meaning of the word taken from the term
"Instant" or fast-paced / easy. But in the history of the use of
cameras, the term "Instant" is another name of the Polaroid camera.
That is the type of camera that can instantly print photos moments after the
target object. While the word "Gram" is taken from the
"Telegram" whose meaning is attributed as the media sender
information very quickly.
From the use of these two words, we become
increasingly understand the meaning and the actual function of Instagram.
Namely as a medium to create a photo and send it in a very quick time. The
purpose is very possible by Internet technology that became the basis of this
social media activity. If only to make a photo and send it in quick time, not a
lot of other social media that offer a similar concept? Well, that question,
Instagram actually have to answer a series of features of the application.
Starting from the filter to optimize the use hashtags to categorize the theme
of the photo. If you want to prove more about the privilege Instagram, we can
reconsider through this application. Basically, social media is actually an
application that is very devoted to photography enthusiasts and practitioners.
So, from the function can be obtained a number of benefits that can create
optimal results. Another extremely interesting phenomenon of Instagram is how
most people are keen to popularize their account.
The goal is to gain as much as possible the
number of followers. This method is exactly like Twitter are generating a lot
Selebtwit in Indonesia. Similarly, the Instagram world that spawned a number of
celebrity with thousands and even millions of followers. When a person already
has a lot of followers, he automatically has a reputation that is attracting
interest from a number of vendors to put ads on their Instagram account. That's
called a buzzer that is able to gain a lot of advantages which started from a
hobby posting on Instagram or other social media.
My notes on Thursday, 13th October 2016
Assalammu’alaikum wr.wbLast day on Thursday, 13th October 2016 at the American Corner of our English language courses to learn about main rule of “Subject Verb Agreement”, aboutsynonyms of verbs and adverbs for accademic english,and Correct to Subject Verb Agreement Exercise.By studying the main rule of "Subject Verb Agreement", I became know how to use rule 1 of rule 18, such as:1. RULE 1 : Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) I have a pen or I don’t have a pen.2) He has a pen or He doesn’t have a pen.2. RULE 2 : Don’t get confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they do not affect agreement.1) Jun and Kiki, who like playing badminton, are my friends.Note: not affect.3. RULE 3 : Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect agreement.Example:1) The student of Soil Science is Smart.4. RULE 4 : When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) There go/goes my childern2) Here is/are your class3) Here is/are the papers4) There was/were many people.5. RULE 5 : If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural verb form.
Example:Example:Example:1) The cow and the pig are jumping over the moon.6. RULE 6 : The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to the same person or thing.
Example:Example:Example:1) Red beans and rice is my mom’s favorite dish.7. RULE 7 : If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the verb is singular.
Example:Example:Example:1) No smoking or drinking is allowed.2) Every man and woman is required to check in.8. RULE 8 : If the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also the verb is singular.
Example:Example:Example:1) Jessica or Christian is to blame for the accident.9. RULE 9 : The only time when the object of the preposition decides plural or singular verb forms is when noun and pronoun subjects like some, half, none, more,view, all, etc. are followed by a prepositional phrase. In these sentences, the object of the preposition determines the form of the verb.Examples:1) All of the chicken is gone2) All of the chickens are gone10. RULE 10 : The singular verb form is usually used for units of measurement or time.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) Four quarts of oil was required to get the car running.Note: If there is a satuan still uses is.11. RULE 11 : If the subjects are both plural and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, the verb is plural.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) Dogs and cats are both available at the pound12. RULE 12 : If one subject is singular and one plural and the words are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, you use the verb form of the subject that is nearest the verb.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) Either the bears or the lion has escaped from the zoo.2) Neither the lion nor the bears have escaped from the zoo.13. RULE 13 : Indefinite pronouns (everything, anything, everyone, someone, somebody, nothing, etc) typically take singular verbs.Examples:1) Everybody wants to be loved.2) Everything is gonna be alright.Note: Singular14. RULE 14 : Except for the pronouns (few, many, several, both, all, some) that always take the plural form.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) Few were left alive after the flood.2) Several students understand the material.Note: Plural15. RULE 15 : If two infinitives are separated by and they take the plural form of the verb.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) To walk and to chew gum require great skill.Note: ditambahkan to and use Ving16. RULE 16 : When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the singular verb form of the verb; but, when they are linked by and, they take the plural form.
Examples:Examples:Examples:1) Standing in the water was a bad idea. Swimming in the ocean and playing drums are my hobbies.Note: Singular17. RULE 17 : Collective nouns like family, committee, herd, senate, class, crowd, etc. usually take a singular verb form.

Film That Describe My Life
West animated film titled "Inside
Out" tells the story of 11-year-old girl named Riley who have different
emotions in his body. Riley in mind, there are 5 form that Joy emotions (happy,
Amy Poehler), Fear (fear, Bill Hader), Anger (angry, Lewis Black), Disgust
(disgust, Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (sadly, Phyllis Smith).
5 manifestation of these emotions lived in
a place called the headquartes (headquarters) is the control center Riley mind
that guided him through life and daily activities. Any circumstances be changed
when Riley had to move to the city of San Francisco to join with his father.
Headquartes became chaotic when Riley tried to adapt to life in the city.
Temporal Joy try and remain to be optimistic, this emotion fifth clashed on how
best to Riley in the face of city life, home, school and a new environment.
Why I chose this film because the film
