Back in the 70's and 80's, Long Island Lighting Company built a complete 820 MW nuclear plant that never operated beyond some initial low-power testing.
So you're going to break out of the simulation and get into the real world. Best of luck to you, Neo. Problem is, once you're in the real world, you're right back to square one. Still only a 1 in a billion chance that it's actually real.
While we find Russia was extremely careless with their handling of information, we find that there was no ill-intent so we won't be taking any action against them.
Because planned parenthood provided free services to those who can't afford to pay, not to everyone they're trying to manipulate?
So offering true pertinet information to someone in an effort to help them make a more informed choice would be manipulating them? And I suppose things like lying about fetal development and covering up rape are not manipulative? Cause that's what Planned Parenthood does to help moms make their choice.
Some (not all) pro-choicers are de facto pro-abortion. Why does Planned Parenthood charge moms for ultrasounds while cpc's all over the country give them for free?
Interestingly, the quote at the bottom of slashdot right now is - "Everyone is entitled to an *informed* opinion." -- Harlan Ellison
This is exactly what an ultrasound does - it gives the mom more information and makes her more informed. Why do some Planned Parenthood clinics (like in New Jersey) not even do ultrasounds unless the mom already wants an abortion? Why do other PP clinics do ultrasounds but not let the mom see them, even if they ask? I'll go ahead and answer: when moms see an ultrasound they are way more likely to not abort. A more informed mother means less money for PP. Simple as that.
Back in 2008, I only expected Obama to be as bad as Jimmy Carter. He surprised me by having all the badness of Bush (Dubya), Carter, and Nixon.
If Obama completes his two terms, then Richard Nixon should get an apology. Watergate would rank pretty low on the list of scandals if it happened now.
I'll ask the same question I did above. If HL paid minimum and provided the drugs in question (which would be perfectly legal), who would be better off and who would be worse off?
Another way of looking at it. Suppose a struggling mom has two job offers: Whole Foods starting at $10/hr (and they pat themselves on the back for it BTW), or HL starting at $14. Assuming WF subsidizes the drugs that HL doesn't, which job would you recommend she take? If you said HL, then you need to start protesting Whole Foods for not caring about their employees as much as HL.
Suppose Hobby Lobby started at legal minimum rather than $14/hr, AND that their health plan provided the contraception/abortifacient drugs. Overall, who would be better off, and who would be worse off?
Hobby Lobby pays a minimum of $14/hr for full time employees. This is $6.75/hr over the federal minimum wage of $7.25. Plan B costs about $50 out of pocket at Walgreens. In this situation, an otherwise minimum wage employee could afford about one Plan B dose per workday on the EXTRA money that Hobby Lobby voluntarily pays them.
Yes, I have never texted anyone who uses facebook. I can say that with some sort of credibility due to never texting. I'm one of those odd people who prefer to, ya know, make PHONE calls with a PHONE.
We've spent all our time worrying about the singularity as if the machines would eventually gain insight and perspective beyond the best humanity has to offer. Much more likely will be that human cognition falls below the level of a mere machine.
In short, the big problem is not that machines are thinking like humans, but that humans are thinking like machines.

Just sayin'
I'm not worried at all that machines will think like humans. I'm very worried that humans will think like machines.

That we should trust women to make their own choices? Was that it?
Yiannopoulos added this his philosophy as an owner "would be very simple: free-speech central, no ifs, no buts."
Let me know how that goes for you 5 seconds in when somebody posts child porn or makes a credible threat of violence.

When I saw how much weight he lost and how much more dignified he looked since LOTR, my hopes for the Hobbit movies fell drastically.
jigawatt's first rule of slashdot: Every scientific discussion on slashdot devolves into a heated argument about what science actually is.
No one is pro-abortion, you moron.
Some people are. And some of them work for your local Planned Parenthood affiliate. See - http://liveaction.org/projects - for more details.

I expect to see opposition to this from some pro-choicers.
Moller doesn't have a flying car of any kind. He has a camera, some editing tools, and a hat turned upside down.
This complete waste of earthly resources would cause the actual doomsday scenario that it's ostensibly protecting us against.

Then please, by all means, go to your nearest Whole Foods and tell the cashiers where they can find these $25/hr jobs that they're qualified for.

The new site was clearly designed by the Obamacare people.

Way to go. I take it back.
We can't?
Facebook didn't get any kind of information from me. Take a wild guess how I accomplished this feat.
Hint: They can't exist without us. We can exist just fine without them.
So you've never texted anybody who uses facebook?
You can close your mouth now.
