The example of the "questions" doesn't actually ask the AI a question. It just says the the plant by the window will produce more (a) oxygen (B) carbon dioxide (C) water. That's a statement of fact and not a question. Over time it's true because the plant in the dark will die and produce nothing.
Besides, why do they want to introduce common sense into the military? They spend a couple of months knocking it out of every person when they first enlist.
In a residential central A/C system it's a general rule of thumb that the bigger the outside system, which allows a bigger fan, the more efficient the system is. It allows for more evaporation coil and the larger fan can pull more air over the coils in the same amount of time. A smaller unit has to work longer with the fan running faster to do the same amount of cooling.
If you want to reduce coal consumption, the best, most cost effective, and politically acceptable solution, is better ACs.
What doesn't help is that, at least in my city, builders aren't putting the most efficient A/C models into new homes. This is especially true with the executive townhouses (8 houses with four on the bottom and another 4 on top. Two entrances with each entrance area with four doors.) At the back of the building they tend to put very small A/C units on the balcony because there isn't space for any of the more efficient models. (The larger the fan in the unit the more efficient it is.)
Even the large commercial and residential buildings are using A/C that dump the heat into the air. These places should be making use of ground source heat exchangers. They are much more efficient. My city is far enough north that a ground source heat exchanger is required. The bonus is that it would take care of heating in the winter and hot water too.
So just like some other people then. I've seen a woman drive through a stop sign because she was looking at her phone. The only reason she didn't hit anyone is because everyone else was paying attention. I've seen a pedestrian walk out, at a crosswalk, in front of a fire engine with it's lights and siren on. It had been honking it's horn to get everyone to stop at the intersection and was halfway across the intersection when this idiot just started to cross. He had his earphones in and was looking at his phone. Never noticed the fire truck, even when it almost hit him. He just kept walking.
I've seen the people who pick the orders in one of the stores here in Canada. They have a cart that holds six large shopping baskets and one person goes around the store for however many orders they are shopping for. I'm not assuming that every basket is an order as some orders could be large.
This is for the pick-up service some stores offer. You order online and some time later you park your car in one of a few spaces near the entrance. (Usually just past the handicapped spots.) Someone brings out your order to the car and you don't have to go into the store.
All you would have to do is forward the order confirmation to Uber and Uber would tell the store which car would be picking up the order. It's already paid for so the driver doesn't have to worry about anything. They bring it to you and everything is done.
The only deliveries that happen here are for people that come into the store and pay for the delivery. The groceries go into cardboard boxes which are usually put at the front of the store until the delivery person picks them up. They go into a non-refrigerated vehicle while on deliveries. It could be hours before you get your food but then you need time to get back home anyways.
Make your stuff worth buying. The only music that I've bought has been from the independent artists which aren't represented by these idiots. Any TV or movies are foreign series because the quality is much higher.
I use between 100GB and 200GB a month and none of it is from streaming music, TV, or movies.
Like other have said, if the streaming services aren't paying enough (supposedly) then don't go after your customers, go after the streaming services.
How about reversing what he was bribed for? Undo the pardon and put the chairman (if he still is the chairman) back in jail to serve out his sentence. If the bribe was to get a sell something then at the very least all money is refunded.
As for punishment of Samsung I'd also want to have the people responsible for the bribe (for example, was it the board that wanted the chairman back?) sent to jail. Fining them or the company won't make them think twice about doing it again.
Many of the times the large file size isn't due to the format but because the person creating the image didn't bother to optimize the picture. It's not unusual to be able to get an image in which you can shave 90% off of the size without compromising quality. Usually it's more like 30%-60% but I have seen 90%. I used to optimize my images when I had my own site. I do it now and again with a slow loading site just to see what I can do.
When you have all of these sites and applications that lets anyone build a site without knowing what to do of course you are going to get bloated images. Never mind that the same image is going to be used for all environments. So that bloated image that's meant for the desktop that I could shave 90% off is also being sent to people who are using their mobile. It could be cut by another 3/4 by making a smaller version just for a mobile version of the site.
It's not just the people up above that don't optimize their images. I was in a federal Canadian department and they didn't optimize the graphics either. What I hated is that the graphics for the Java web applications were included with the.jar files and being server from the application server because it was easier to deploy. If they served the graphics from the web server, which passed the requests to the application server, then the graphics would have been more responsive and the load on the application server would have been lessened because it was busy serving graphics (one page could have 20 small graphics).
You don't need new image formats or even to replace HTTP(S) to get faster responses. Optimize your files and server configuration.
Yes, they are asked to judge in the grey areas but that doesn't mean that they are free to put their own ideas in. That turns them into lawmakers. They are only to apply the letter of the law and, if not preset, the spirit of the law as how the it's applied today. Having a case go before a different judge, or a set of different judges, should not result in a different judgement. Yet this is common in the US Supreme Court and the differences are down to the ideologies of the judges.
People should not be able to guess how a judge is going to vote on a case based on their beliefs before a case has even started in the Supreme Court yet you see this all of the time in newspaper articles concerning controversial subjects such as Obamacare and LGBT rights. Rarely is there ever a surprise. Might as well save all the money and not hold session. Especially if this new clown gets into the Supreme Court.
That's something I never understood about the US. How can you have a D or an R judge? The whole point of having a judge is for that person to be unbiased and not use their own own beliefs when making decisions. They are to interpret the law in a completely impartial manner from their point of view and with respect to the defendant.
By saying that a person is a Republican or Democrat judge one is saying that they are going to be applying a set of beliefs towards their judgements. All of the Supreme Court judges are known by how they will likely vote on certain cases based on their political and religious beliefs.
How can anyone get a fair trial when your judge is allowed to judge the case based on their beliefs? Abortion might become illegal again in the US because the majority of Supreme Court judges don't believe in it. How is that impartiality?

Though only two browsers support this so I don't know why you would use it. Just use a VPN and everything from every app would be hidden.

I've always wanted to be a shareholder of one of these companies that did a big layoff such as this. If the company can do the same work after then why did they have all of these employees in the first place. I'd try to bring a shareholders lawsuit against the upper management for their incompetence. By having all of these extra people on for so long it wasted a large amount of shareholder value. They obviously weren't needed so they shouldn't have been hired in the first place, or let go of when then came through mergers.
Getting a couple of these lawsuits won, which would be tricky, might stop these huge layoffs that we keep seeing.
It's a much different world than what it was back in the 1970's. A person in the US can't live off minimum wage working 40 hours, especially in the larger cities. What good is saving a stock until your retirement when if you're lucky you can pay to have a roof over your head but you're stuck deciding between the electricity bill and food. It may not be exactly that combination but many people today are having to make a similar choice because minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. People need a living wage not a minimum wage.
That would be fine except that Mercury stays in the environment and travels up the food chain. By changing the limits all you are doing is modifying the rate that it accumulates at the top of the food chain, us and other top predators.
And how much of those emissions are due to making stuff for the rest of the world? Other countries have outsourced their CO2 to China.
Just because China is currently emitting the most in the past couple of years they haven't put most of the historical CO2. The developed nations have spewed CO2, and many other substances that have been found dangerous over time, for a long time while their economies grew up. Now as China tries to build up their economy they are vilified for doing the same steps as the other countries took before. (This also includes their policies on IP. The US stole a lot of IP from England when it was building up it's industry.)
Now my phone will prompt me to update to iOS 12 instead of iOS 11. There has been nothing worth while updating for. And if I update my phone I would have to update iTunes. That means I couldn't download app updates in iTunes and having to do updates on my phone and iPad separately. Apple screwed that up big time.

A nicer thing would have been to install the miner, say the computer was no longer able to run Flash and uninstall Flash for them.
