  1. Re:Green-washing on IBM Claims Breakthrough Energy-Efficient Algorithm · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With faster algorithms, the machine can just get more jobs done in the same amount of time. But the jobs will just keep coming, so the energy use never changes.

    Or are the new algorithms SO fast that all processing needs of humanity will be done in a week, thereby allowing us to turn off all supercomputers? Now that would save energy.

    But then who will you use as an enemy image to propagandize against?

    Well, it would still be you guys. Just at a comfortable distance for all involved.

    The problem with putting all the socialists in one country is they don't have enough to share...they eventually run out of other people's money. So you guys like to spread out...so you can help the rest of us "redistribute" based on "fairness".

    Too bad. They all worked really hard in a meat packing plant, but got infections under their fingernails from the poor working conditions. After they couldn't continue working, they were jailed for being anti-social by the factory political minder. They went to a hospital for treatment, and walked out a month later with tuberculosis. This destroyed their ability to work further, so they were unable to get a decent apartment assigned by the local Party housing authority. After struggling for years for the collective, the beetles wondered... if I speak out will I be sent to Siberia or run over by a tank?

    Or was it better to follow the advice of a narrow-minded, bigoted, meritless, and anti-human demagogue simply because he was a fellow Socialist? They realized that he was right all along. Societal progress can only be accomplished by performing some menial task for the collective good. Everything else is just a waste of time.

    Hey fuckstick! In Capitalism, man exploits man. In Communism, it's the exact opposite. The difference is liberty. And I choose liberty. You want to be taken care of by your benevolent dictator? You and Noam wouldn't be missed.

    Actually she said no. She joined the Army...no problem there. Did her time, used her GI bill to go to college...no problem there, and became a cop. And no-one stopped her. She had to compete like everyone else. Did some of her cohorts resent the new female? Sure. Did it actually affect her career? Nope.

    What is your solution to the "problem"? Some artificial barriers to hold back the evil white males so everyone else can finally succeed? Maybe some laws dictating WHO I choose to invest with? Either case interferes with personal property... my ability to sell my labor for fair market value...and my ability to use my funds as I see fit. You liberal version of "fairness" is just Marxism in drag.

    How long do you suppose we should hold back the evil white males until we are "even"? Could we go back to liberty after that?

    I was raised by a career-minded single mother. No one leveled her playing field. She just muscled-down, hit the books, and proved she could work.

    My wife is career-minded, no one payed for her school or gave her extra GPA points for being a girl. She worked hard and proved she could work.

    But I am a white boy...so you're probably right. All social ills, the world over, are all my fault. I even invaded Canada under manifest destiny (the Vancouver BC Old Spaghetti Factory was delicious).

    As long as "social research" is produced by victim-identity-liberal sociology departments, it will be as credible as a Pravda story.
