  9. Because we're not dicks

    Citation needed

    We're not panicky bitches that live in fear of the latest bogeyman: The Blacks, The Chinese, The Chicanos, The Germans, The Russians, Vietnam, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, "Terrorists"... We're much more relaxed because our world is a reflection of our chillness, yours is a reflection of your anger and conquest mentality.

    We wouldn't need the world's largest standing military, so a lot of those expenses go away.

    As the world's 6th largest economy, you might want the world's 10th or so largest military though, putting you right back where you started. Unless of course you think the US is going to rescue you.

    Well, since we have more working brain cells by not living in a continuous state of fear, we can work with the higher brain sections rather than just the amygdala, so can more logically analyze our defense needs. We have the USA to our right, lets presume they won't attack because we are a great trading partner and the source of most of their food especially during winter, so the Eastern and Northern flanks are covered. To the south, we have Mexico, not a huge military power and not bent on conquest, so our Southern border is safe as well. On the East, we have the Pacific Ocean, not easy to attack us there and the USians with their great fear of everything will not let anything approach us on that coast. We'll be trading like crazy, buying and selling shit so everyone will love us. China doesn't want to project power beyond its immediate borders, not militarily anyway, so who would really be coming at us from the West? Not much need I think for anything larger than maybe the 25th nation's military, which is really not a whole hell of a lot.

    We could bill the USA government for the land and naval bases they'd want to still have access to, which would bring us yet more money.

    Maybe, maybe not. The US maintains foreign military bases where its national interests lie. This does raise a couple of interesting questions, though: (1) would all the civilian employees at California military bases be fired and replaced by US citizens; and (2) would all the "California citizens" in the military be discharged because they're no longer US citizens?

    We can demand that they vacate the bases or use all Californian employees for anything other than officers and enlisted personnel. We'll tax the shit out of them for the right to be on our land. California Citizens could make a choice and be Californians or USians, then they'll be treated accordingly. We may or may not allow dual-citizenship.

    We'd legalize all drugs, making us a tourism Meca. We might have to set up a yuuge wall though, to keep out all the desperate USians wanting to immigrate to the land of milk and honey.

    I think you meant "Mecca" and "emigrate", but whatever. Like all the desperate UAians wanting to emigrate to The Netherlands for the legal drugs? It's one thing to visit for a few days for the high; another to decide you want to live in the People's Republic of California. I suppose it would be a boon to all the emergency room operators, like it's been in Colorado.

    Thanks for the correction, I wasn't sure about the spelling of "Mecca", I did mean immigrate as I was speaking from my POV, not yours. They would be immigrants to us. So you're saying we don't need to build a yuuge wall? Great, saves us money. Yeah, we'd have problems with the tourists but, hey! if they want to spend some money for an unnecessary emergency room visit, why should we care? Their money, assuming the dollar survives, will be acceptable or exchangeable everywhere.

    Stay awesome tsqr!

  10. precisely. Then iterative improvements from testing are also sent to all clones.
      I do have a question though, how do you know what to share between learning system clones? Presumably their Neural Networks (NN) diverge from separate experiences, so, how would you know which is better? Do you bring them in for a test? Download their NN and run it against simulations? What if their mechanics have changed and some changes are to compensate for say, a loose ball-joint?

    And, as
    noted above, by choosing not to utilize the higher data rates that Qualcomm’s

    I don't understand how this, how does this reduce download resources available to other smartphones operating on the network? Is it that the phones become more chatty and thus load the network with a bunch of overhead?

  22. It is very much AI, however definitions are hazy. What is happening is that refinements to definitions are made as new technology is developed. As I understand it, the AI that wins at Chess, wins at Go, creates original paintings, writes original music, diagnoses diseases, etc is now referred to as "limited AI". This AI is very domain specific and can perform well in a very well defined domain. It can't acquire general knowledge or perform outside its domain, "general AI" is the scary AI and the "new" definition of "real AI".

    McD is run and owned by franchisee's so they are mom and pop with corporate support, marketing, ordering, training (how to abuse workers and such).
    Wal-Mart is a whole 'nother beast which externalizes things like health care costs onto local governments (per their infamous employee training videos on applying for food stamps).
    About the rest of what you said: Capitalism! Once the minimum wage is set, all the players now compete for employees on things like fairness, flexibility, humaneness, kindness, etc. Not treating employees like disposable towelettes can go a long way when competing against soul-sucking companies like wal-mart and McDs. Can't do it? Get out of the business. Capitalism! It's funny how some avowed capitalists only like capitalism when it translates into easy abuse of employees and destruction of the environment and local economy.
