The AC comment above makes a point: "all the wrong answers" is a heuristic that implies all "sensible" wrong answers. An answer that if goes wrong goes catastrophically wrong may or may not be sensible, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
Interesting, if you reread my post you'll see I'm saying that praising Trump in public -- which I've done on occasion -- comes with a price exactly because of the liberal echo chambers which I imagine many/.ers work in. I've made wrong conclusions on first glance too, proves that this is an emotional topic no matter how much one thinks he's rational.
I've read a semi-plausible mid-21st-century scenario where the US military (in a conflict situation) under pressure figures out how to beam energy from large solar panels in the Earth's orbit to the surface of the planet. Then of course over time it is commercialized for civilian use.
(It's from "The Next 100 Years" by George Friedman of Geopolitical futures.)
Deciding to praise Trump comes with a price. If you don't believe it tell your coworkers Trump is a great president. You might get points with some and lose a ton of others, assuming your coworkers are mostly liberal.
So when you do it either because your customers are almost entirely conservatives, or you say it because you believe it.
I moved from 4s to SE (refurbished) just last month and am happy how fast the new phone is, can do everything I need. Hope the SE will serve me for at least 3-4 years.
You can also say only chemical reactions happen in our brain when we think so we're really not thinking but our brains are chemical-reacting. A word means something if it is useful. If saying plants "hearing" is useful -- if it is -- why not say it.
That said, we don't understand what life is, not even plant life, so some may well find it useful with respect to this matter to go with the Sufi mystic's saying, "God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man."
Trump doesn't understand any technology whatsoever. What he does is he reads people. I realized that some 15+ years ago when I watch an episode of Ali G trying to prank him. Trump saw through him in 10 seconds, patted him on the shoulder, said good luck to you and left. And Ali G is as good as they get.
I only run NoScript browsers outside of Sandbox (with a handful of urls whitelisted). Email, banking etc. Everything else that would be OK if hacked I browse inside Sandboxie. Bit of a hassle sometimes (copy link from email in no-sandbox browser), paste into sandboxed browser, but worth the additional peace of mind.
"just 70,000 votes in 3 midwest states" is a ridiculous statistic. How do you change 70,000 minds and hearts? Russians? With laser precision, exactly those 70,000 you need and no others? It's hard to imagine that 2 years of media propaganda managed actually to change ONE living soul's vision of their and the country's future, let alone 70 thousands of those living souls, chosen with laser precision.
Do you really think we would not have been fighting like we have had it not been for Russian involvement? Broken friendships, family fights, divorces due to one side supporting Trump and the other hating him -- do you think Russia made that happen?
What people who are deluded and people who are not have in common is they both think they see things correctly. So your self-reported ability to correctly differentiate means nothing.
What we haven't learned from the past is that we are pretty bad at predicting future when it comes to complex systems.
So instead of acting from a place of being sure that sometime in the near future Internet will crumble because companies are greedy, try with minimum regulations first, and IF you notice things are coming apart, then introduce a fix.
You don't preemptively go for a stomach reduction surgery when a person has normal weight just because they like to eat and food is readily available. There are many other factors at play.
People don't care about privacy but may care that facebook use is correlated with depression (links everywhere). Usually I don't log in for days or a week or two, and when I do come back I feel a mixture of expecting a hit and a mild wave of depression. The posts feel like they are made by people trapped in a cage. I usually don't stay more than a few minutes.
I've been recommending what I found worked for me: I used Social Book Post Manager browser add-on to undo everything I've ever posted or liked or commented on FB. Having no content of my own made me disinterested in posting anymore, and my "friends" list stayed so I can get in touch with people via DM. That's most of what FB is good for, as far as I'm concerned.
If you're afraid to ask for a raise so you don't but recommend to your friend that he does and he gets it, you're not really helping your survival case.
Basic survival instincts are optimized for instinctive situations, which most of our convoluted modern life isn't.
If its sole purpose is added realism in gaming then I think ray tracing will be almost like VR -- cool and few people will really care about it. Current games have much larger gaps in realism elsewhere than in graphics, for example changing state of objects, sound generation, not to mention AI. That's assuming realism is the most important thing for a game to sell well.
If the purpose is something else, I'd be curious what that is.
I don't disagree, just curious where the estimate of the value of electricity spent to mine the current bitcoin so far is, so it can be compared to the $87B.
What I advocate instead of closing the account is using a browser add-on like the Social Book Manager to undo everything you've ever done on FB (after backing up your data) except contacts so your account becomes an empty shell with a useful contact list. It's a much easier pill to swallow while it gives you the same amount of relief and the amount of sticking it to FB, if not a little bit more.
Except people don't feel miserable searching for things, whereas more and more feel so when they scroll endlessly through their news feed on their phone.
I expect the Facebook problem will solve itself in a couple years when majority simply stops going; the Google problem won't.
I think people greatly overestimate Facebook's ability to manipulate public opinion. Facebook influences the public opinion by letting people divide themselves far further and deeper that they would have otherwise but that is the nature of Facebook, not something it controls.
There isn't -- art and consciousness are beyond objective proof, but that doesn't make them any less real. A person can never prove to anyone that they had a specific dream, but a dream can change their life. A friend of mine decided to have kids after a particular dream. (Or rather, he *said* he decided so -- there's no way I'll ever know if that was true.)
That's why any objective, external, measurable definition of art is pointless -- it's not what it *is* by some measure, it's what it makes us feel, and that cannot be measured.
Apparently that applies to his art as well: "In 1939, Pollock began visiting a Jungian analyst to treat his alcoholism, and his analyst encouraged him to create drawings. These would later feed his paintings, and they shaped Pollock's understanding of his pictures not only as outpourings of his own mind, but expressions that might stand for the terror of all modern humanity living in the shadow of nuclear war."
It's not blatantly false at all. If an artist took a drug that knocked him unconscious but still made him move his muscles rhythmically and that movement was translated into a painting somehow, I -- and I imagine most people -- wouldn't care for that painting one bit. It's seeing a slice of the world he experienced as captured by his art in the moment is what we yearn to see. A form of deferred telepathy through a physical medium if you will.

Perhaps their laws of physics are not the same as ours.

Not all things that go wrong are equal. You want to be careful doing things that go wrong in geometric progression.

Sounds like a bodycam.
Actually more like a mindcam.
