You must live a pretty cushy life if you think sex is the only motivator for men to do anything.
It's far and away the largest motivator. There's a reason that around 40% of men who ever lived had offspring while 90%+ of women did - it's because society used sex as the reward for men to get anything done.
Only the successful men got to mate, hence men were pretty damn motivated to succeed. Even today, the more power and influence and man has the more women they attract. Unsuccessful men (by women's standards, not their own) get very few takers.
. Stop trying to âoelookâ smart and go study more.
Ironic. You can't figure out how to make your device post properly and you call others "stupid"?
BTW, GP was spot on - pointing out that correlation does not imply causation is good science, something you'd know if you actualy practicsed in any science at all.
It's hard not to notice how angry conservatives get when people who don't agree with them exercise their First Amendment rights.
It's a tad better than arranging cry-ins because your candidate lost. I think this was the first US election where the universities held cry-ins about the result.
When was the last robbery in Germany that involved a weapon (knife or a stick... most certainly not a gun)? It is December 6th now... definitely not this year.
Don't use the word "definitely" unless you intend to look foolish. It's a bold claim, and one that is easily disproven.
If you just give people money, you just give them money,
and at the end of the day they'll just outbid one another for those
same resources.
You go to the auction to buy groceries?
No, but the price of all goods rise to what the market will bear. When everyone's money increases by the same amount "what the market will bear" goes up as well, hence the price rises.
If we have tech suitable to replace humans doing work, we have already gone past the barrier for sexbot. For working AI, the first job to be replaced will be that of prostitute. See how successful RealDolls(sp?) are and those are simply static mannequins. Imagine the market for a mostly autonomous RealDoll.
So, nVidia sells you GPUs with part of the memory silently being "low-bandwidth" connected, and AMD silently removes compute units from GPUs of equal naming.
Now that Intel has basically abandoned all GPU manufacturing, the market seems fully in the hand of fraudsters.
Hey Electronic Arts, you should enter this market: Just sell some GPU model (let's call it the "LootGPU"), and make it to have random hardware specifications.
An EA card will be a bare PCB with a voltage regulator and pads for CUs and memory. The actual CUs and memory will be DLC, available on the day of release.
All of US corporate profit is running around 1500 billion / year right now.
1500 billion ($) / 330 million (Citizens) is $4,545 per citizen per year.
You're dividing their "profit based on a global presence" by "the number of citizens nationally". Gmail, for example, has many non-US accounts; TFA appears to be unaware that there are countries other than the US, and that they contribute to the data that google holds, hence Gmail payouts will be $TOTAL / (all account holders) and not $TOTAL / (US citizens)
We throw away enough food to feed entire countries, there are millions of properties that sit vacant,
You have unused food and unused property, and yet you think adding in "free money" will solve things. Why not start by redistributing that excess food that gets thrown away?
If you think the current system provides for efficient allocation of resources, you are well and truly mistaken.
If you need to take control of the entire government in order to make your idea work, then your idea is not workable. Start on a small bit of the problem - try giving away the free food that gets thrown away.
Some of the African countries are turning to the renewables first, skipping fossil fuels for electricity entirely.
I seen it on a PBS Newshour segment, covering the fact some african families are installing solar panels in their hovels to recharge their phones and have some lighting (other than dangerous kerosene lamps.) Seemed pretty impressive, which is why I made that claim. These folks are definitely skipping fossil fuel generated electricity entirely.
You think that, prior to the panels, the entire country skipped electricity altogether? Do you think those families did not have cellphones prior to installing panels?
This is the making of a secret police agency that doesn't have any oversight from lawful civil authority (courts, Congress). This idea needs to be shut down. Hard.
Makings? This already exists: get arrested and you'll find out how much you miss your one phone call.

I don't know where you read that, but it's wrong. No country skipped fossil fuels entirely and went straight to renewables. Few countries in Africa even made it to "a significant percentage of renewables for energy".
Cities didn't get created to help Apple. Cities were built by the people, for the benefit of the people. The people should pay their own way, for their own benefit — not try to get someone else to pay their way for them.
Anyone who wants to be part of the collective has to pay the tax that the collective demands. Apple included.
When human drivers kill 40,000 people a year in the US, but autonomous solutions "only" kill 30,000 people a year due to avoidable glitches, Greed will still arrogantly sell that as a win.
I doubt it. Guns, outside of law enforcement, suicides and gang-murders kill so few people it's barely a rounding error[1], and yet there are still plenty of people who want them banned. Same with terrorism, mass shootings, etc. It's about fear, not numbers.
This certainly seems to indicate that you believe cats are unable to learn and solve:
You are mistaking their inability to learn and solve as an unwillingness to learn and solve.
You know when we use that phrase it isn't meant as an absolute, right? "He has an inability to learn" is never taken to mean that "he" is a rock devoid of sentience.
My position throughout the thread is that dogs are smarter than cats. Not by much, mind, but by enough to measure.
2) There is no correlation between Intelligence and desire to play sports in humans - if anything, it's a negative correlation.
Maybe for individuals in the species. For comparisons on one species with another my comment was spot on because GP made the asinine observation that performing activity for a verbal reward is an indication of stupidity.
I'm just pointing out that that single trait is an important characteristic of the smartest creatures on the planet. It's stupid to call a species smarter because they don't chase a ball.
Ask yourself why you self-identify as as male feminist instead of an egalitarian. And no, don't say you identify identify both because one is more important important you than the other, and you identified as one before the other.
You should also be wondering why self-identified egalitarian mostly don't identify with you.
There's a small difference between being a good boy for fetching a ball, or being a good boy and getting a million dollar paycheck.
The outright clear majority of people playing sport do so for the 'good boy' response. They're playing for free. Your still disproving your own point, in that the smartest creatures on earth, humans, fetch a ball for recreation.

Actually the copyright owner is not forced to license the material. In cases of violation a copyright owner can simply decide to revoke the license.
I believe I said 'basically none'.
You believe wrong. This is what you said:

Prostitution. At least for the time being.

Get over your self-righteous attitude. You sem to be an idiot.
So you found 3 armed robberies .. show me the others then.
Thank you.
You said there were none. It only takes one to disprove the assertion.

Beer is just an obsolete form of water purification.
Neither you nor the government get to make that call.
Which call - "obsolete" or "water purification"?

Does it? Whats the price going to be of a battery in 10 years time as its dropping in price every year?
I'm curious - is there a graph of battery prices that includes 2016 and 2017 prices?

The idea that cats are unable to learn is completely false.
I have not made that argument. I made the argument that dogs are smarter than cats.
Following ones interests when they conflict with social pressures is also an important characteristic in the smartest creatures on the planet.
Irrelevant; that is nto what cats do.
It's exactly what cats do.
No, it's not. You are mistaking their inability to learn and solve as an unwillingness to learn and solve.
Fair enough, but it's just as stupid to say that a species is smarter because they DO chase a ball.
But I didn't say that.
