people don't want to buy hardware and then have to choose and install software to get a product running.
Don't be so patronizing, you're not that more smart or special in comparison to the "people" you refer to. Contrary to your claim, people have no problem with installing software, they do it all the time on their PC, Mac, smart phone or tablet. They want easy installation without problems and instant up-and-running software (a lesson learned from shareware). That's easy to achieve and whether the software is free or proprietary makes no difference in that respect. It only takes a bit of care from the developer.
I recommend getting a Ph.D. in philosophy. It's the best thing for getting a job in any kind of science or technology related field, because philosophy is the mother of all sciences and technology is just applied science.
That's possibly the worst moral justification I've read in my life. Apparently to some people the adjective 'moral' is a synonym of 'can be used as a business model'.
Some of my essential audio tools have already been reported not to work properly on Windows 10, so I'll be damned sure not to upgrade anytime soon. I have already removed the upgrade notification.
Google gives less good results than it used to but with a strong adblocker like Adblock Edge or uBlock it's still okay. The important point is too check subsequent pages, and always check out and read any "EU censored" pages by using a proxy.
There are plenty of good reasons to spend $80 or more on a keyboard, but that doesn't mean you should consider a wooden 'artisanal' keyboard. Try Unicomp or Cherry keyboards, for example, typing on one of those feels so great that you'll never want to go back to any cheap "mushy" keyboard.
That's not true, cats can hear sounds up to 64,000Hz. So if you want your cat to enjoy your music, too, you better get speakers or cat-earphones that support the frequency range and a PONO with music sampled in 192kHz. (And make sure it's also recorded with the help of cats.)
No, but they said things that were almost as stupid as your post.
Wait...I thought you said the research group you were exposed to positively shaped your thinking. Did you benefit from the research group's didactics or were your professors stupid as well?
I've said the opposite. So much for your reading skills. And yes, unfortunately there are fairly stupid professors in philosophy, but they are nowhere near as stupid as the leading scholars in argumentation theory and critical thinking whom I've met.
Perhaps you should re-take Logic 101 (that is if you took it to begin with).
I am a logician.
Go fuck yourself, little asshole.
For a Philosophy PhD candidate, you sure have some weak logic skills. Care to make an actual argument?
I did my Ph.D. ten years ago and work as a senior researcher at a research facility since then. Sure I can make actual arguments, but as Mark Twain said so eloquently:
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Critical thinking is a pseudo-science and pseudo-didactics invented by anti-scientistic intellectuals and shabby pedagogues who tend to vigorously oppose to any solid training in math and logic.
At least that's my impression after having been exposed to a research group in argumentation, critical thinking and "informal logic" at our university for the past five years or so. (I'm a postdoc in philosophy.) Please don't teach it anywhere. Teach mathematics and classical statistics instead.
Their finance minister got shitcanned because he wasn't an idiot and wouldn't send the Greek people into debt servitude.
Actually, he was the worst international negotiator I have ever seen in my life. He did practically everything wrong that you can do wrong in such a negotiation. He was so bad that many experts outside Greece started to believe that the main goal of the Tsipras government was to ensure a Grexit...
Some must be voted into law by 15 July (72 hours after the meeting) and some by 22 July, next week. They are more or less the same measures that triggered the referendum last week but with a notable absence: cuts in the military
I still don't understand why a radical left wing government would be so extremely opposed to cuts in the military. Is that part of the agreement with their nazi coalition partners or is there a real danger of a military coup d'etat?
Yeah, in times of crisis all those theoreticians and hobby economists know better, of course. Just like in hindsight everybody knew how to avoid the crisis in the first place...
Nonsense, based on the usual "careful selection of evidence". Yes, A.I. has entered business in the past decade, whereas previously A.I. researchers where almost unemployable in their own field. And that's about it.
As in most other fields (except, perhaps, pharmaceutics?), practically all relevant research in the field comes from academia. Go read some actual journals in the field and take note where the authors come form.

Oh, damn, please delete the above... too late. :-/ Obviously I've meant upgrade to a new version.
Anyway update... well, whenever it tells me to -- except for Windows, of course, where I check the KBs first and usually there is a problem.
As the title says....
Finally some Russian billionaire who puts his money to good use. (No, I'm not joking.)

Emotions are an important part of becoming more human.

There is no Artificial Intelligence yet, so how would anyone know?

Who does not love cats?
You could also send some bitcoins to the address in the readme of puppet-memcached to "show some love".

Quite some smartass we have there, haven't we.
Shut up you piece of shit!
That's a long time to be exposed to a research group. Did they drip water on your forehead for the entire 5 years?
No, but they said things that were almost as stupid as your post.
Only an over educated ivory tower

He probably still doesn't understand why game theory does not work in real life.

I'm more appalled by the fact that you can patent bullshit like this.
Why, I want to have such a device. It's not for problem solving but for fun.
