  1. Re:Too Advanced to not Fail on 45% of U.S. Jobs Vulnerable To Automation · · Score: 1

    Offer people a moderately luxurious free ride in exchange for sterilization.

  2. Re:Time to thin the herd on 45% of U.S. Jobs Vulnerable To Automation · · Score: 1

    That's the smartest idea I've ever heard! You go first!

  3. Re: technocracy - the end of a monetary system? on 45% of U.S. Jobs Vulnerable To Automation · · Score: 1

    I disagree. It will free us to do LESS productive things.

  4. Re:I never understood the principle. on Syria: a Defining Moment For Chemical Weapons? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not that the US follows the Geneva Convention either. Depleted Uranium and white phosphorous are somehow excusable violations.

  5. Re:Impeach Obummer! on EFF Wins Release of Secret Court Opinion: NSA Surveillance Unconstitutional · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why do you think there's such a push for drones and bots?

  6. Re:First on The Cryonics Institute Offers a Chance at Immortality (Video #2) · · Score: 1

    Would you rather a small chance at future resuscitation, or the certainty of decomposition?

  7. Re:In the real world... on How Gamers Could Save the (Real) World · · Score: 1

    If your looking a decade out, this sort of task can be entirely automated. No humans necessary.

  8. Re:Not much of a defense on NSA Director Defends Surveillance To Unsympathetic Black Hat Crowd · · Score: 1

    Indeed. From what I've read, the sheer volume of information collected has become so overwhelming that finding anything useful therein has become extremely difficult.

  9. Re: Keep up the selfishness.. on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    Every job is an inefficiency except the one at the top, and maybe even that one.

  10. Re:Finally! on Bill Gates Is Beginning To Dream the Thorium Dream · · Score: 1

    I always pictured that guy as a mac user.

  11. Re:Nice, meaningless score on IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    How then should they rate it in layman's terms?

  12. Re:But on IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    He should have been able to whistle too.

  13. Re:It's the market, stupid! on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

    What does their stature have to do with it?

  14. Re:Sergeant Major at Leningrad on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

    Being able to hand your weapon to another trusted individual for use is an important feature.

  15. Re:Boom on Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns' · · Score: 1

    Indeed. A 12 gauge slug into a watermelon should get the point across. Also show them YouTube videos of people doing stupid stuff, like the guy who looked down the barrel after a hangfire and shot his hat off.

  16. Re:only solution: take back the internet on Reconciling Human Rights With Ubiquitous Online Surveillance · · Score: 1

    As the NSA's quantum computers come on line encryption will be useless.

  17. Re:Digital copies? on Robotic Kiosk Stores Digital Copies of Physical Keys · · Score: 1

    You don't need all that info. Just lift a print off the door knobs of several houses and see if any have keys associated with them.

  18. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Robotic Kiosk Stores Digital Copies of Physical Keys · · Score: 1

    Why not just scan and 3d print it?

  19. Re:Scare tactics on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Very much so. I have never in my life been afraid of a foreign terrorist, but often afraid of those who control this nation.

  20. Re:Alternative: Don't send, just compute data on Introducing the NSA-Proof Crypto-Font · · Score: 1

    Interesting. But do they record all the metadata on what's snagged when and how?

  21. Re:Ethics on Whole Human Brain Mapped In 3D · · Score: 1

    I would posit that a computer running a program is more than the sum of its parts.

  22. Re:Nice biased wording there on Intel Removes "Free" Overclocking From Standard Haswell CPUs · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it's in many short periods and I usually have no indication how long they will be, so I do have to keep an eye on it.

  23. Re:Nice biased wording there on Intel Removes "Free" Overclocking From Standard Haswell CPUs · · Score: 1

    I usually spend about an hour per day waiting for my computer to process. So yes, MHz matters.

  24. Re:TDP for 4770k == 84W on AMD Making a 5 GHz 8-Core Processor At 220 Watts · · Score: 1

    I don't think the cost of power will be significant, but it would suck to have something processing for an hour and then overheat the CPU and lose all your progress. When time is money that gets expensive real quick.

  25. Re:"Liberty-Minded"? on The Free State Project, One Decade Later · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There's a huge difference between not wanting to wear a seatbelt and not wanting to be forced to wear a seatbelt. I wear a helmet on my motorcycle, but I'm happy I'm not required to do so by law.
