The question really would be who controls the placement of these guns.
Placement? Oh come on... Put lighter, low caliber ones, on flying drones and heavier ones on a wheeled or tracked platform.
It's only a temporary measure anyway, until proper humanoid and bird-like hunter-seeker units are developed. Sure... early models will be ugly and have rubber skin... but that's a small price to pay for security of our children.
As a simple metaphor : how many people will upgrade the magnetron on a microwave ?
Wrong starting premise. The underlying argument of "upgrading single components" is fallacious thinking, thus the entire discussion veers in a wrong direction.
It's not about "upgrading". It's about REPLACING. Broken, "single components". Seen that way, from the aspect of OWNER'S RIGHT TO REPAIR AND REPLACE, the argument that "most people don't care about upgrading single components" obviously doesn't hold water. Cause most people do not only care - they assume that the thing they paid good money for is repairable. I.e. Upgradeable with new, working, components.
It's not about a new, more powerful magnetron - it's about being able to get a new, WORKING, magnetron. Same goes for "RAM and hard drive without having to buy a complete new model". Once you can repair and replace something, upgrading takes care of itself. After all, goin from broken to worken is upgradin too.
Sure it's not bro. Pushing agendas which favor one candidate, while slandering and defaming the other either directly or indirectly is a clear case of "fine people on both sides". Or was that "violence on both sides"?
It's getting hard to keep up with nonsense that orange cunt spouts out of that shithole of his. Or the level of delusion pathetic excuses for a brain holder would sink to in order to support such a colossal racist cunt lording over them. What a bunch of cucks. Laughable indeed.
Also, FBI is clearly storming bedrooms of campaign managers "on both sides". In the middle of the night. After picking the lock on their front door and sneaking in, Rainbow Six style. And then they took photos of his suits. I guess to make sure which ones he was not wearing when he shat his pants as they pounded on the door. On both sides. He shat his pants on both sides.
You do realize we can read your other posts, right?
Like that one, minutes ago, where you quote articles claiming they show how "ads were plugging Black Lives Matter, Hillary's widespread support, and similar topics" and "If those messages helped get Donald Trump elected, why are all the Democrats colluding with Russia?".
When the very articles you "source" report COMPLETELY OPPOSITE. I.e. They were literally posting fake ads in order to defame "Black Lives Matter, Hillary's widespread support, and similar topics".
You are soooooo far away from center and into radical right-wing bias that the "right" is on the other side of "Here there be dragons", "Here there be serpents", "Copyright 1891, Confederate Press Ltd." and "FREE sandwich with every purchase" signs of your political map. You're not even blind. You literally hear or read one thing and understand something completely different. That's moving beyond delusion and all the way into hallucination territory.
Russian internet trolls bought Facebook ads promoting the Black Lives Matter movement to stir up fear and cause political chaos in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, during the 2016 presidential election, a report says. Sources tell CNN that a Kremlin-backed group known as the "Internet Research Agency" used geographically targeted advertising to fuel political discord in various parts of the US as tensions rose between the black community and police last year. At least one of the roughly 3,000 ads that the agency bought during the election promoted Black Lives Matter specifically, the outlet reports. The ad, which was first posted in late 2015 or early 2016, appeared to support the social justice movement - but sources said it could also be seen as depicting it in a negative light.
The Black Lives Matter ad appeared on Facebook at some point in late 2015 or early 2016, the sources said. The sources said it appears the ad was meant to appear both as supporting Black Lives Matter but also could be seen as portraying the group as threatening to some residents of Baltimore and Ferguson.
Facebook did not comment for this story but did point to a statement from Facebook's chief security officer, Alex Stamos, who said earlier this month that "the vast majority of ads run by these accounts didn't specifically reference the U.S. presidential election, voting or a particular candidate." "Rather," Stamos said, "the ads and accounts appeared to focus on amplifying divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum -- touching on topics from LGBT matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights." Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said this week that the aim of the ad-buyers "was to sow chaos." "In many cases, it was more about voter suppression rather than increasing turnout," he told reporters.
It is most probably reacting to generally emotionally charged scenes. From a comedy where all goes well in the end to the scene in an action movie where the hero is triumphant. With a tendency towards crying at happy moments.
My guess... based on personal experience, and not even related to airplanes... It's something related to low blood pressure and how that relates to oxygenation of the brain... and empathy. Cause basically... people who cry at those emotional scenes are empathizing with the characters on the screen and compensating for their often exaggerated levels of distress (i.e. acted out in a over the top way) - by having an emotional reaction of their own.
I have a naturally low blood pressure. Also, my mom will get all teary-eyed when watching a movie. I once cried watching this scene. At the time I thought that it was just the movie being so bad and that it was that "quality" which made me cry.
It's actually all that over the top melodrama, while sitting down, blood pressure dropping... Brain then has to deal with images signaling the need for some great emotional relief, and the lack of oxygen making it emotional and basic instead of slow, calculated and rational. Add to that the genetic component of predisposition for empathy... and you can have yourself a cry at the end of The Matrix, when Neo kungfus Agent Smith and then dives into him, exploding him from the inside and bending the Matrix to his will. All in the privacy of your own home.
The handset is powered by Qualcomm's beastly Snapdragon 820 SoC, and offers 4GB of RAM along with 32GB storage.
How do you expand that built in 32 GB storage? Would a hammer be enough or does one need powertools or corrosive chemicals?
Same goes for that 4GB of RAM, choked with processes and services and various crap you simply don't want to be running in the background, trying to be "smart" for you until you're barely managing not to throw the phone at the wall.
Like... just as "representatives of Facebook" had to come out to the congressional investigation that they've "discovered" that they've sold "roughly 3,000 ads", from June of 2015 to May of 2017, for "approximately $100,000" to "about 470 inauthentic accounts and Pages" which were "affiliated with one another and likely operated out of Russia."...
...their "computer scientist at Facebook" found these ""collusion networks" run by spammers" (not Facebook mind you... not their fault) "producing as many as 100 million fake "likes" on the systems between 2015 and 2016"... in a scam "users are knowingly entering into... to falsely obtain "likes.""
Like... see... Facebook is totally NOT responsible for what other people do with their accounts. And you can't even imply that Facebook was somehow... I don't know... being criminally negligent with its security. Just look at how they "purged millions of fake accounts" and that whole 'nother "extensive Facebook scam involving fraudulent "likes" that Facebook said it had disrupted in April".
Surely it's just coincidence that there's a paper out on "collusion networks" of "spammers" and "users"...
A paper outlining the research was first posted Wednesday and will be presented at the Association for Computing Machinery Internet Measurement Conference in London in November. One of the authors is Nektarios Leontiadis, a threat research scientist at Facebook.
...the very same day Facebook comes out about knowingly selling adds to Russian troll factories trying to influence US elections...
Representatives of Facebook told congressional investigators Wednesday that the social network has discovered that it sold ads during the U.S. presidential campaign to a shadowy Russian company seeking to target voters, according to several people familiar with the company's findings.
Robots are not only software. And hardware specs change over time, making old code obsolete. Then, there's the second-hand market and support and maintenance of "obsolete" hardware and software. Also, if the current "agile" BS continues, no software will be "finished" ever again.
As for "handful of firms" making software for the whole world... Unless they end up giving it away for free, along with the tech support... It's only a question of time when local governments figure out that they could "create jobs" by mandating that the software and support for things which drive on local roads be done with local labor. Or they simply tax the self-driving vehicles and create more "make work" jobs, preferably in administration... or just spend it all on hookers and blackjack.
Still... It will all be done in Elbonia, not Bumfuckistan.
You may lose your truck driving job today, but many more jobs will be created in Elbonia, for future, far more educated generations of robotruck engineers.
They are talking about the old version, which only works on some liver cancers and where regular ethanol is used. And they are talking about the price of a syringe of ethanol. 5$ doesn't include labor costs, examinations and everything else needed for a successful cancer-killing injection.

So were most of these people.
Particularly The Mooch.

Oh that's not the only thing she did.
She also typed her emails using a Dvorak keyboard. I know, right?
I heard she wrote them all while taking a knee, too.
Which is NOT the same as "supporting Trump."
Sure it's not bro.

No anti-Mexican wall. No mention of biggest crowds. Sad.
Did I miss anything that people actually post about?
Attempting to star nuclear war with North Korea?
I was once considered a child progeny, but I kinda lost it with age.
Cool! I've always wanted to look like Kryten!
Yup. And Elon is ready to unveil an electric one in a few weeks.
A semi-truck.
I.e. A semi-trailer truck.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride tentatively scheduled for Oct 26th in Hawthorne. Worth seeing this beast in person. It's unreal.
