My overall feeling in this cup is that VAR has been a well overdue positive innovation. I've seen some bad calls, included penalties, reversed because of VAR. There is nothing worst than losing a game on a bad penalty call by the ref. I am glad this is finally happening.
My concern with these type of human imitation is not on the personal assistant side but on the robocall sales side. Telemarketers already have some rudimentary human type robocalls trying to fool you, if and when they get their hands on these bots answering any unknown call will turn to hell.
This is a perfect example of why life changing decisions should be by a super majority of votes, 60% or more. Making such a big change like exiting the EU on the whim of a 50% vote is moronic.:/
Boehner often cries when he gets emotional, this can be a sign of an underlying neurological problem. If so, there could be a hidden reason for his resignation. I am referring to Pseudobulbaraffect, that can be a secondary symptom from many other problems.

It is disgusting really, and it's all about satisfying Wall Street. Read Cringely for more info, he's being blogging about this IBM situation for a couple of years.:-/
Most media sites are internet hacks now, posting stories for clicks, that's all they care about (alla Newsweek) and guess what, reddit is their big secret!
Nate Silver was one of the very few that stuck to the data, and was trustworthy. But that was then, this is now. He has to prove his new venture is going to be accurate and truthful and not just another HuffPost type bullcrap.
Seriously, this was once a very respected mag that will never publish such trash and make it pass for true journalism just to get page views. Newsweek may be happy with all the attention, but the reporting was amateurish. That's what happens when you cut cost by firing all the carreer pros and get sub par people to do the vetting. I hope they go the way of Time mag sooner rather than later.
The poor guy that has only a name to share with the true creator of bitcoin probably will get a lawyer and a big cash settlement. The bitcoin community sees this as a lot of fun after a few weeks of distressing news. Bitcoin as a whole is benefiting from all the publicity.
All in all, bad journalism and not a bad week for bitcoin.
Robots can do all the work we need to do and do it for many many years, like the space probes we've sent and are still working after so long. We do the exploration by proxy then, what's wrong with that? Eventually humanity may even be followed by a cybernetic civilization, if we can manage the tech before we go extinct.
North Korea is trying to blackmail the west once again. It worked in the 90's with Clinton and it worked in the 2000's with Bush, they make a big fuss and they get money to calm down. And the US media loves it too, they get to scare people and talk endlessly about it during a slow news cycle. Ratings up, win-win.
I think the concept of a space elevator is more to bring payloads into orbit cheaply. It costs a lot of money per ton to shuttle something into orbit now. People could still be shuttled up and payloads use the elevator, that way the price per ton in orbit would go down dramatically.
You don't understand how votes work. When you vote your age group gains and when you do not vote your age group loses influence. That is why seniors have a lot of influence, because they vote. If you don't like the presidential choices, you can still vote for your representatives in Congress and your local representatives. Evidently if you do not vote, it is your own fault, because that is how the system works.
I have done this ever since I joined FB due to friends and family over-bugging me to join: I installed the Opera browser, I got a new email that I use for FB; I've used Opera only to log into FB and into the email I use for FB. I use Chrome or Firefox for everything else. I just checked my Firefox, no FB cookies!
Well, I really didn't know they have the chromium-browser package! I've installed it and it seems to be working fine. I'll play with it some more. Thank you.
Always the same console message, as far as I can tell, it is a chrome bug. It just hangs.
$ chrome/usr/bin/chrome:/opt/google/chrome/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by/usr/bin/chrome)/opt/google/chrome/chrome:/opt/google/chrome/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by/opt/google/chrome/chrome)
At least for me, I've been trying to make it work for more than a year, with the latest version but it is buggy as hell. I'll give it a try when they come with a new version for Linux.
All those reasons work for me, plus: I've been using the same computer case for the last 10 years and just keep upgrading the parts. You cannot do that with a laptop, at most you can add memory.
From Wikipedia:
Retrocausality (also called retro-causation, backward causation and similar terms) is any of several hypothetical phenomena or processes that reverse causality, allowing an effect to occur before its cause.
--If people were subscribing to the dead-tree edition of the Journal, he would have not just their names but their home addresses and probably phone numbers as well. Now subscribers want to pay for the same publication--the Wall Street Journal--and the publisher expects to have the same information they would if they were sending the physical newspaper.--
Ok, consider this: I stopped subscribing to ANY publication several years ago due to the constant and relentless offers I was getting. In my view, they were abusing my personal info, so I stopped them. It took a good couple of years for the offers to stop. It would make a big difference to me personally if I could subscribe and remain anonymous. But that's just me, heh.
mmmmmm I haven't got any mod points in at least 2 years... then again, I don't really post much anymore, just browse the stories for interesting articles. heh.
Just ask the phone company to be "unpublished". Then your phone number will not be public information. Why do people complain about unsolicited calls when they willingly publish their number on the phone book? Friends and family can still find your number by calling informantion and giving your name.
I am not in the "do not call list" and do not need to be, for years my phone number has been unpublished and I get no solicitations.

If you read the Wikipedia entry on John Draper, that is not true at all. He seems to be doing alright for himself.
