I have a Government issued phone. On it too 95% of the rings are spammers, scammers and telemarketers. If caller ID doesn't pop with one of my contacts, I don't answer. The number is on the do-no-call registry - which really should be call the do-nothing registry because that's really the effect.
Someone, get the weed away from the Indian scientists...
Dudes, I mean,,, it's a COCKROACH!!!
They must be in serious need of some pork rinds for munchies.
This is nonsense. My God, what the hell is happening? When did critical thought dwindle to such short supply? There's an increase in "flat earthers", vaccination causing autism won't die, 1/2 America doesn't believe global warming is caused by man... 50 years ago we reveled in science and the potential it offered. Today we can't even have a public debate at college lest someone feels "offended".
That is why I have continually claimed there is not AI yet, what we have is task programming. We"learn" because we ask why, how, where... we have a burning drive and our interactions with meatspace during our quest to learn why develops our intelligence through experience. (the "I" part of AI)... Since artificial processes do not have goals beyond those stated by the programmer, they can nor ever will have a "eureka moment", hence there will never be true AI under the current direction of development.
If he runs, he'll likely win. The GOP hasn't won popular vote for a first term president in 35 years. The last 2 GOP presidents won the electoral college while losing popular vote. Furthermore, it can be argued that Bush Sr was just an extension of the Reagan administration euphoria since he was so utterly crushed after his first term. If you ignore Sr, then it's only 20 years....
Though their sentiment and goals are worthy - retain a higher percentage of your work - forming a "Union" does nothing if scabs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) are allowed to post apps for less return. This is no different than Lyft/Uber lowering pay for cab drivers, there's no way to form a virtual "union line" to keep scab apps out, so this movement is predestine to fail.
The report underscores the fact that not every little thing needs to be connected. Paper Ballots are just fine - outside of Florida, where apparently, they can't figure them out.
“time travel had not been disproven” – um, Professor, that’s not how science works and you knew it.. Those who make a claim (ie: time travel exists), bear the burden of proof to demonstrate that possibility.
Since the US is really an Oligarchy, and that Oligarchy has grabbed over 50 of all wealth, they're looking for the next financial conquest - and why not spend other peoples money to find it!! https://www.theguardian.com/in...
Does this mean VBA gets yanked? Is the roadmap to replace macros with Java? GAWD!
I am so tired of other java systems failing after an automated java update, now the CFO's spreadsheet fails... spectacular idea.
If the general population in the United States actually cared and felt this was an important issue - then the Senate, House and Oval office wouldn't be run by people who adamantly scream this is a liberal hoax.
They are busy appointing judges who will rule in favor of the corporate oligarchy doing exactly what we're seeing: disincentivizing renewable energy, disemboweling clean air/water laws, doling out tax breaks to polluters, attacking scientific processes and thought, defunding education to eliminate critical thinking skills... and they are winning. Only 1/2 of Americans believe global warming is real. http://news.gallup.com/poll/20...
And other BS/disproven ideas are on rise - like Immunizations cause autism and the growth of flat earthers... Till we value and fund education and critical thinking, we're lost.
Nope... the average home price in Seattle jumped $43K in March 2018, to an average price of $819K.
The market continues to be red hot despite increasing interest rates. https://www.geekwire.com/2018/...
If phucking phantastic news to those of us who already own.
Sales prices are more tied to supply and demand. Good paying jobs close to nice areas create competition and price pressure upwards. In Seattle, where housing prices have set a national record - interest rates are going up, so are housing prices. Some areas are up 18% year after year. https://www.seattletimes.com/b...
It's common for bidding wars to drive prices 10's of thousands over asking price.
I think it was more Hillary decided it was her turn and she deserved it. Everyone else was either obsessed with putting a vagina in charge of the white house or too afraid of Hillary to actually suggest reason and the obvious. I am sorry to be so blunt, but truth is sometimes painful.
Given the choice between a 75 year old socialist or Hillary... come Dems, any one else! Please! and anyone else would have won the election and the electoral vote. Trump was nuke the system vote.
The FCC fully supports ISP's extracting every single bit of user data for any whim, yet when a Chinese based company does it they file against them?
BLU must have forgotten Pai's payola.......
You're conscience, don't speak for me.
Humanity is a tiny thread from chaos and mass killings. Every single event in animal history - humans included - where resource contention happens, survival turns us into vicious killing machines. Civility today in America (most of it), is a result of a rare time in human history where most have "plenty". That has never endured in the course of human existence so don't assume it will continue....... but it's nice that you're life, and the lives of those you care about is so sheltered, blissful and bountiful you never have to consider strife.
I'm in Seattle area... People with Cisco CNE's, Security CISSP's are constantly getting poached. Good security people bring $200k-$1M salaries out here. Network engineers make in the $100K range (as do programmers out here).
AI is really growing an high paid, but you need a Phd to grab a top salary in AI. If you have that, you can start at the same wages (or more) of a neurosurgeon.
If I were 21 today and starting over... seriously.. I would spend 4 years in the military. Get out and get a job as a fire fighter. They start out here at $80K. Some work 10 days on, 20 days off..(those 10 days you live in the house). Retire at 53 or 54 with a full pension and health care and spend the next 30-40 years fishing, hunting, playing with grand kids, traveling... what ever.

The solution is simple. Stop posting every single mundane second of yourself online.

It is exactly the basis. There is no evidence for time travel. Therefore it's notion shall be dismissed till such time as evidence exists. ..

sorry, remember Hitchen's razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence".

On a positive note, that's an addition of 175,000 acres per year that are NOT susceptible to forest fires!
