What? Did you hear about the primary where Eric Cantor got voted out of office despite outspending his opponent by an order of magnitude?
And no one really hated that guy all that much either.
Sort of parallels the mistaken view people have that their unhappiness is related to their lack of access to resources and money... which makes explaining how you have a higher chance of going bankrupt when you win the lottery hard to explain.
While our competing companies in Russia or spending their cycles mounting the CD drive from the command line and rebuilding the kernel to fix GPU failures, we'll be adding the innovation customers in a free market would choose to buy.
I just bumped into Soren Kierkegaard in the elevator. He told me machines will never be able to make choices or value judgments since both are predicated on agency/subjectivity.
Call me when a bot wins a Turing competition without shenanigans.
Another reason why I think this lawsuit is ultimately bad for me as a developer is potential future employers thinking, "If I hire domestically the thankless dingwads are going to turn around and sue me."
Compromise is the path to mediocrity, not greatness.
Trump is loud, angry, and taps into the anger of other people. That doesn't necessarily translate into bad for me. I would rather vote for that than candidate robot.
Take the case of Newsweek: a periodical written by journalists for journalists...
There was a time when people thought, "Journalists follow these things closer than most people do, so we should listen a little closer to them."
Then we started hearing about "The case for killing Grandma" and "The new adultery" and people started realizing there just isn't any enlightenment there. Similar scandals committed overtly by journalists (Rathergate, JournoList) showing journalists were deliberately trying to sway people's opinions poisoned general confidence in the mainstream news.
In terms of real investigative work, journalists abandoned that some time ago. Remember when the press was upset they didn't know where Dick Cheney went? They basically said, "We can't be responsible for digging into these things!" And forget about finding out about what happened in Benghazi.
People view journalists very negatively now, which the Republicans exploit regularly (esp. Gingrich, Cruz, and Trump). This political strategy pays off for them. I have seen studies showing people hold journalists with slighly more esteem than lawyers and slightly less than actors... but they're at the bottom of the barrel because they are just different flavors of people who tell semi-sophisticated lies professionally.
The blogosphere is the news underground. Some of it is gossipmongery, and some of it is real. The advantage is people can decide who they trust and not just some AP writers semi-disguised opinion that has been syndicated everywhere.
The main reason less than 50% of Americans believe in evolution is because public curriculum enforces that it is the only voice that is heard, which I like because it encourages heavy skepticism from ordinary people. This same mechanism also ensures people will not trust the AGW claims either. Which I am also very happy about.
So, journalism is dead. People can form their own opinions now.
You got me that multiple independent lines of evidence is different from different sources.
Most science today is researchers getting paid to prop up certain political opinions. This is a case where ideology isn't really related to the outcome, but reference to the prevalance of the view is taken as evidence of its truth.
What would Bacon say about researchers trying to find a way to "hide the decline" and failing to find ways to reject others peer reviewed studies because it doesn't align with their buddies?
If you don't think big science has its sacred cows, I disagree.
Slashdot Mirror
"Neanderthals" were homo sapiens.
... rickets. A deformity caused by a lack of calcium.
The word comes from the valley where the fossils were found.
Everyone agrees the surrounding fossils were homosapiens. That is the context.
The few different ones had bendier bones
All "neanderthal" specimens in the fossil records are openly contested by secular scientists.
What ??
Even embryos are XX or XY.
... just like piltdown man and Java man.
... wasn't Java man a complete hoax pitched as an intermediate species (i.e. missing link) from Indonesia?
Come to think of it
This is becoming like the Nigerian scam of anthropology. Can't they pick a different locale with their scams?

Touche !
I'll get a big laugh that their projectile can't point in a single direction as the payload explodes and obliterates half the continent.
... what a faux paux that is!

I thought a goal of feminism was to avoid objectifying women.
But aren't AI's objects ??
Archimedes didn't understand the implications or significance of what he had theorized.
He just basically suggested that if you make columns small enough you can perfectly describe the slope of a line.
It's like saying the Vikings discovered North America.
Meh.
Is Cook wishing the US was suffering the same economic turmoil (from China) the rest of the world is suffering through?
I don't see how that would be good for Apple.
If there is less wealth overseas (and there isn't because of China) people have less margin for fancy phones.
Diluting the dollar isn't going to make overseas customers more enabled to buy iPhones.
"Consciousness" is passive. "Control" is active and predicates someone doing something.
My camera phone is conscious of light bouncing off of images. It isn't saying, "This is what I'm going to do with my days on the earth!"
Call me when a bot can pass a Turing test without shenanigans.
Do you see Disney's dropping of local talent for foreign as free market? Or are you proposing a "free" to hire anyone here kind of thing?
I don't like the "not have a business" if its a contrived, imposed rule because then I have less options as a consumer and less places I can go work.

I'd rather not be viewed that way.
What was your replacement to web software dev?
Huh? Is Trump owning all the land and treating people like serfs? I'm not treated like a serf. Who is being treated like a serf?
+1 This exactly. Wish I had mod points.
The ratings are to determine how much commercials should pay to the networks.
Netflix doesn't have commercials so numbers are just for smoke at parlor games.

Middle right is autocratic.
Mitt Romney wanted government takeover of health care.

Computers are more capable of churning out stupidity than anything man could accomplish on his own.
Same thing with committees.
Didn't Russia invade Europe / Georgia just in 2008? The same leader they have now?
If America is invading any place it's leading from behind.
Your comment does little to tell me about the advantages of modern science ... but you punctuate it with a perjorative expression.
Unclear is if you intended to be persuasive.
If you are emphasizing the "multitude" of sources, then you are falling victim to the idols of the tribe as Bacon described it.
Bacon, you know, who is sometimes referred to as the father of science (but in truth abandoned by modern scientists).
Converging validity is the false hope people leaned on in The Emporer's Clothes. Broad is the path that leads to destruction and many follow it!
Better to be happy and counted among fools I say.
