In the 0.01% of situations where the right thing has to be done quickly, the computer is able to instantly draws upon thousands and thousands of such encounters that is in its database. The computer doesn't panic, it doesn't need to take a second to quickly survey the area around it. Machine learning is here, and it is now. We are not "quite a number of years away from sorting it all out".
It's been sorted, it's been done. The technology is here, the technology is now. Humans do not excel as you believe they do.
I understand the "slippery slope" argument that you're making and I applaud your integrity. Not wanting to debate the merit of any one religion vs. another, the fact is that Scientology is a 20th century cult, with undisputed history, and their criminal and near-criminal actions are well documented. They exploit and prey upon the human psyche and cause real and measurable damage to others.
For example, the government prosecuting and jailing con artists is a prime example of why we collectively even cede authority to governments to begin with: to protect the just from the unjust. It's not a subtle attack on free speech rights when it happens. It's not the start of "governmental abuse" when police make arrests.
Lastly, I think you're being a little dramatic when you say "giving the state the authority to destroy religions it disagrees with". When the situation you describe is that Germany doesn't recognize Scientology as a religion. It shouldn't be recognized as such in the US, either.
Much like a nice pair of off-the-rack-yet-properly-fitted slacks, a shirt correctly sized, and a decent pair of clean shoes, a modest watch says a lot about you as a grown man both professionally and personally. It's telling to me that several women have tried to steer you towards this, and yet you've disregarded them because for you it's part of some "status symbol" thing. No dude, it just means you're a grown man who knows how to take care of himself and takes a degree of pride in himself and appearance.
It is time to adopt a system similar to Finland, where fines for infractions such as speeding is proportional to income and ability to pay. For AT&T to pay $25 million for this kind of ridiculous breach in security is outrageous. Exactly what economic incentive does AT&T have to change their ways or improve security? If you answered "None. Zero. zip. Zilch.", you win the prize!
Actually, the Just World Hypothesis (link ironically to Wikipedia) can help to explain the cognitive process behind the behavior that you observe with regards to "victim blaming". I found it fascinating when I first read about it (probably here on/.)
When you consider that OS/X (the official for-consumer release) turns 14 years old this month, we are quickly approaching the point that Macs have used file extensions for longer than they haven't (strange to think, I agree).
The last time I checked, 1934 was the era of the diesel electric and the telex, not the "steam engine and the telegraph". But, distortions of reality are verizon's specialty.
Well, aren't you just a special little gem, making fun of a man confined to a wheelchair and unable to use his body! Is school out for the day already?
So it's more efficient to park a truck at the entrance to a neighborhood, load a package onto a drone, fly that drone to the home, drop the package, fly back, load another package, then fly to the next house, etc etc repeat ad nauseum than it is to just drive the truck to each home and have a human carry a package up the front steps?
I don't think so. If anything, the improvement would be self-driving trucks so that the driver could focus on package delivery, loading/unloading, etc.
:sigh: you know - somehow I am 99.999999999% certain that you are "one of the losers". In fact, I would literally bet everything that I own that you're an absolute nobody.
Also - grow a pair, dude. Stop posting this shit as the ballless little AC worker-drone that you are. You want to make a statement - act like a MAN and identify yourself. Nobody that matters is trolling this kind of shit on the internet at 9 AM.
No one, not one single person or entity is predicting 100+ for oil "by memorial day". The highest predictions from anyone, anywhere, is that it is back up to mid 60s.
Well first, no one attributes the economic expansion of the 1980s with trickle-down economics. Literally nobody of any importance in the field of economics.
And, If you believe that trickle down policies were responsible for the 1980s economy, your position is equally the same to me as an anti-vaxxer or a climate change denier. You believe in fantasy.
Second, for a current example of those same "cut taxes results in boom" ridiculous ideas in action today, you need only look as far as the state of Kansas, who now have a two billion dollar deficit directly caused by lowering the income tax. Unsurprisingly, increased revenue did not result.
Nice non-sequitur. Well, I will tell you that only the religious right actively harms our society through anti-science rhetoric and culture, along with telling me or others how to live our private lives while also being actively engaged in limiting and restricting the rights of others. But I do thank you for your false equivalence, in spite of how distasteful I find such a childish response as yours.
He's also plenty happy to wave the cross when it suits him. And I for one have had more than enough of the republican party pandering to the religious right.
I'm just not so sure it's appropriate that anti-social behavior be relabelled as "terrorism", the magic word for abuses of power by the state. However, I do thank you for your insight into this person, he sounds like a serious toolbag.
You really needs to be coupling basic weight training with your cardio. I'm not saying you have to go nuts with it, but you really want to be doing light workout with weights before your rides. I used to think that because I only cycled I was fine. But once I incorporated some basic lifting, I was amazed at how much better I felt, how much more *functional* my body felt doing basic lift/reach/grab tasks, in addition to how much more productive my rides seemed to become. Also, it's going to stimulate your body to start burning that fat, which I suspect many of us nearly middle-aged IT guys need help with. And - seriously, just so you know: If you want to burn that fat, you have to add muscle. It is as simple as that.

Spoken like a true indie, working outside that big corporate studio system!!
Wow, so I guess you aren't the target market for a portable device designed to be use with headphones, carrying the "Walkman" brand? But thanks for letting telling us about your unique, insightful, and deeply relevant life experience, as most music lovers spend their lives in a cacophony of children and distractions with no opportunity to experience and enjoy high fidelity.
I like how you reach that conclusion that this is the result of security being considered only after the fact, rather than being an integral part of the design.

Seriously, welcome to every single desirable, thriving metropolitan area in the country right now. Every single one of them.

Under what possible interpretation of the law can this be considered the actions of lawful government?

what we're trying to accomplish as a society
Careful now, that sounds suspiciously like the godless language of socialist communism!

Do any of these personality faults mean that he should be on a terrorist watch list?

Repeat after me: RAID is not a backup.
This is very informative, thank you!
