Isn't Iran in the old Mesopotamia region? The one that almost died out way-back-when because of sudden climate change? I suppose it wouldn't be much of a surprise if that's the first region to go again in the next sudden climate change.
Hahahaha, I've been saying it all along. USA really is going the way of ancient Rome. Putting lead in everything until everyone goes crazy and starts killing each other. Motherfucking dumbasses on a completely epic scale. Ha!
Consider a company the scale of Google, with hundreds, if not thousands, of software projects ongoing simultaneously. Suppose you assigned an AI to observe which user stories go in, and what code comes out as a result. How many programs would you have to complete before the AI is able to take over a majority of the work involved in building an application? Maybe it can't directly convert user stories, but it could probably handle many of the components that a user story is made of.
I'd honestly be surprised if they aren't already doing something like this.
Doesn't matter how deep you go, there's always another layer to the puzzle. If we concern ourselves with such insignificant details we'll never go anywhere or do anything. Infinity is like that. At some point you just have to say enough is enough.
The Pakistani guy at my office smells, and the way he talks makes me feel really uncomfortable. Of course if I ever uttered any of this in meatspace, I'd be publicly branded as "culturally insensitive". It's not that I don't appreciate Pakistani culture, it's just that the guy really does smell something fierce. He's a nice enough fellow but I mean, come on, take a bath once in a while. And use soap. I can't imagine where he came from, what conditions he lived in, but he's here now. He's got a house, and the house has a shower in it. Use it, damn you! It's not a question of culture, just plain basic hygiene. And the way he talks? I'm not talking about his accent of course, I'm talking about the way he mumbles, and he coughs and slurps every other sentence, it drives me crazy. And cover your damn mouth if you're going to cough all the time. Am I culturally insensitive? I don't know. Probably. What's it to you anyway? Why do you even care what goes on inside my head?
The people in China and Russia and India and wherever-the-fuck who are any good at what they do aren't even remotely involved with H-1B. They laugh in the face of H-1B. They are paid more by their sovreign states than any American company would ever shell out for an H-1B applicant.
Hence his example is very much valid, as these incompetents represent the majority of H-1B holders. Not those Chinese smartphone engineers. I don't even see why you have to pull them into the argument.
H-1B is a poor excuse for importing third world trash. American trash is so much better.
Since it's already up there, fly up a couple of rockets, mount them to the station, then send that sucker over to fly around Mars for a bit instead. Use it as a safe point/refueling station for all the traffic that's going to go there the next few years.
CentOS/RedHat, those will leave you around the Windows Server 2000/2003 level in terms of "easy to use". Beyond that, there really isn't anything. But you'll still need to deal with everything about these distros that is still Linux. Want to configure anything? Then you have to dig out your command-line based notepad variant.
Then there's Ubuntu. That'll give you an intolerably inferior GUI to use with all your off-brand open source alternatives. Comparable to maybe Windows XP pre-service pack, maybe SP1. But you'll still need to dig out your command-line based notepad variant for any kind of serious configuration.
There's no way around it really. Linux is just terribly inconvenient to work with. It's powerful, absolutely, but with great power comes terrible manageability.
The more obscure the distribution you choose, the worse it is to deal with, but the more powerful it becomes. Choose wisely.
We need artificial wireless neurons. Not a lot, just enough to let the brain know that stored information can be accessed via these neurons. Let the neurons pull data from the megamind AI hadoop deep thought big data servers, and voila, humans now know that religion is a hoax, jet fuel can't melt steel beams and 1+1 = 2. Then we can focus on social education instead of victorian education, and make this shit society of ours a bit better to live in.
But this tech needs to be available to anyone, not just Americans and friends. We don't need an even greater divide between ignoramuses and everyone else.
I don't understand how people are so unwilling to hand everything over to big ol' American Google, but when it comes to the big ol' Russian Google-clone Yandex there are no qualms what so ever. You dumbasses don't think they do the exact same thing, only with less oversight and antitrust litigation?
You people keep saying this, but it's never true. There is still no legitimate reason for average end users to install Linux on anything. Linux is an unmanageable piece of shit for anyone who's not a computer person. Always has been, and it's the reason why 2017 also won't be the year of the Linux desktop.
You'd have to make Linux just as insecure and phishing-friendly as Windows in order to convince anyone to use it. Double-click an exe, and disregard any warnings, to install an app? May be insecure, but it's why people use Windows.
I fully agree with you that Linux can be used as a desktop, if a computer capable person pre-configures and prepares everything, and the needs of the user are so few that there's no need for exe files, but that doesn't make it a viable alternative to Windows in any argument, except in a managed environment.
Let me get this straight. If I pick up a Da Vinci textbook, or whatever, and then claim the same thing he did, I will have discovered it? No wonder cancer hasn't been cured yet.

But this is on a computer, so it's different.

No you didn't.

How so? Can you simulate the entirety of the universe using only 160TB? No? Then it isn't enough, is it? Hm!
Buy a proper computer. Insert 32GB RAM. Don't look back.
First they ignore me . . .
Then they ridicule me . . .
Then they fight me . . .
. . . And then I win.
This is American! Probably patented and everything, too.

Politics have nothing to do with this. This is just plain stupid Americans doing plain stupid American shit.
Nope!

It's not hard to get 8000 patents if you re-invent the wheel (and patent it) every time you do anything.

This may be a good time to switch to Linux.

11 actually. Anything over 10 is 11.

Obviously, this is the weapons platform the Ancients built. They already made about 10 seasons worth of TV documentary about it.
If you don't build your house out of materials that can keep the heat out/in, then there's more business for A/C vendors and manufacturers.
Dear Mr. Judge, I accidentally all the files they gave me. After all I'm computer illiterate, as proven by the defense.
