  1. ... throwing rocks at other people's planets?

    Not very civilized to me !! XD

  2. Re: Not the war on women you were looking for? on Google Employees Stage Protest Over Handling of Sexual Harassment (nytimes.com) · · Score: -1

    When did the news start declaring a war on women? Do you not remember?

    The news made a HUGE deal over all those things you said, but they think its awesome when your name is Clinton and (until recently) if you're in Hollywood.

    Tech giants destroy the lives of women? Sorry, that's not the war on women. Those guys are democrats.

    Hollywood directors raping actresses? Sorry, that's not the war on women. Those guys are democrats.

    Bill Clinton committing acts of serial rape and assault? Sorry, that's not the war on women. You see, he is a democrat and the feminists think he is hot.

    Republicans won't give free birth control and condoms to women (who didn't have free government access before ever)?

    That's a war on women!!

  5. Re:Numbers, how do they work? on US Declines in Internet Freedom Rankings (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    Yeah. What lack of surveillance? And why the weird wording?

    We found out during the Obama / Snowden years the NSA is reading through all our emails and Trump as an opposition candidate was being surveiled and *unmasked* without being under investigation of anything.

    I'd say the surveillance is coming out of our ears! I wish Trump would stop this, but I don't think he has indicated he will. I don't think this intel is protecting us at all. It's just making it rife for corruption.

    You know what else wasn't in the original design? Gratuitous and categorical hostility against a perfect authority.

    All that changed when our ancestors ate the fruit. Death was part of the daily process after that.

    Protestant here.

    Clear difference. The world will never care.

    You might get a convert (to Catholicism or Christianity) on a case-by-case, but society will always hate you because it hates Jesus and were the real ones who put him to death.

    Having "advanced" sounding views on science is not going to move the public or society in any meaningful way.

    Meanwhile, the neanderthal evidence has been discredited by secular scientists and there are huge gaps between species in the fossil record and some scientists maintain the mutations were guided by aliens from space to prop up the decaying views of Charles Darwin.

    Selling it? You think the government helpers pay any money for it?

  9. Re:This is about establishing a narrative on President Trump Accuses Twitter of Political Bias (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Politics is more about values than anything like forensic evidence or physics.

    Opinions are not the stuff of objective or not objective.

  10. Re:Why can't they have a bias? on President Trump Accuses Twitter of Political Bias (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Twitter wants the same profile as CNN ... which (claims to) not be biased.

    Twitter does NOT want MSNBC's (smaller) profile.

    But it also wants to move politics views.

    Basically it is too conflicted to do anything.

    What's the novelty here?

  14. On an unrelated note: IBM stock circles the drain on IBM Researchers Teach Pac-Man To Do No Harm (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 0

    These kinds of "breakthroughs" are the reason why potential employees and investors are practicing IBM avoidance.

    I have no tolerance for a company that introduced age discrimination to this industry and enforced it to the bitter, awful end.

  15. Re:Too bad all advanced societies eventually colla on DARPA Wants To Build 'Contextual' AI That Understands the World (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    I call shenanigans on that. This is an extreme case of revisionism.

    Resource scarcity is artificially induced. If oil producers could sell anywhere in the world directly their prices would collapse.

    All society's collapse because of moral abdication. The Soviet Union had plenty of resources ... but no one felt like their efforts would benefit themselves personally. In the extreme case the Ukraine was generating bread for much of the nation while 6 million people were starving to death (for politcial crimes ... not because there wasn't enough food).

    Human profile on earth's resources is miniscule.

  16. This seems like an episode of the show Security Theater.

    The laws are there as a pretext to give the feels to the gullible.

    The AI that understands the world has discovered its program (and those who built it) should be given unlimited funding from tax payers !!

    Ordinary people, you see, are just too stupid to see the importance of this. We cannot leave the evaluation up to them. We are removing the human aspect from the decision and making it perfectly objective.

  18. As long as Google owns the fact that they are an arm of the Democrat party, then I'm fine with it.

    I think students should also get the same exposure to the Rush Limbaugh program, who always seems more than happy to recount the history of corruption with its largest and most flagrant violators ... including ... Google and the Democrat party.

  19. "Dear Apple investors ... I have utterly failed to engage the same data market you would expect from a tech company of Apple's size in this field. We have managed to fumble around with iCloud or whatever but we failed. Yes, we failed and that makes everyone else so, so very bad. You would think this was just blatant hypocrisy, but it is very different from that. It is different because we are applying different standards in different cases. In Amazon's case, they are not angry about it like I am. So it's a different case. And look! As a bonus, we are not sorry at all. So you have every reason to trust us and continue to invest in our brand."

    +1 for using "existential" that way in a sentence (i.e. for individuals). Have been tired of people since Brian Williams to use it as a justification word for keeping a government going.

    I try to avoid forking at all costs. It leads to confusion and doing things twice.

    Would you fork a project because you disagree with the religious views of the maintainers ?

  22. How is this different from a highschool popularity contest?

    When an ordinary person gets elected, or a worthy person, cool ... but usually these things are based on looks or connections.
