Human desires are infinite, but we sure as fuck won't seek them using expensive-ass humans that need benefits. And sleep.
Turns out that hand-made outfits are only being bought by some hipster niche subset of the wealthy, while the real world is buying robomade shirts. Turns out luxury items are an exception to the rule, an outlier, a fluke. The path of the bottom-line, of efficiency, is still king. Is the only reality pertinent enough to discuss, unless you need to be misleading.
Turns out they only buy from flukes too, the outliers of hand-sowing talent. The whole concept is negligible. A rounding error. Human desires are infinite, but buyers aren't.
There's a young man in 2350 who was assured by someone in 2015 that he wouldn't need to worry about everyone jumping to unpaid robolabor. Even so, he's taking no chances, he worries employers will overlook those without approval from the diploma mills. But he'll buy the signature with a paycheck, because our little wiseass knows student loans are a predatory industry, an authorized scam.
He's not disabled, physically or mentally. He's a perfect specimen. He's healthy, he's eager, he's earnest, he'd like one of those abundant human-performed jobs he heard about.
"Creepy" has gotten awfully hype to drop, but this is what legitimately make my skin crawl.
Like, I can see someone saying it with a straight face. The whole line is euphemism. Like, four or five layers worth. It makes military euphemism look honest. It makes manure look forthright. It's like I'm staring at a knife wound, big slice, blood right flowing out, and the victim doesn't blink. Society doesn't blink.
Too busy creating value out of thin air. Yet on the distal side, the value will have consequence, and it won't be thin air. That will need a source. And, just as natural as water flowing downhill, as natural as entropy, it'll come from the bottom.
This. I think things derp slightly differently now (and I noscript/requestpolicy everything) but noughtie's internet was oozing with flashing GIFs and shit. Also SWFs. Shoot the duck and win a ringtone! Catch the balloon and win an ipod! You are the 1,000,000th visitor to the site!
This is yet another example of the post-surfacedwellers internet trying to PC everything. Though, I suppose this instance was a positive one.
I am seeing several lines that would defend me to murder useless infants and even adult homo-sapien-animals.
If they were intentional, that's cool I guess. I mean, I do recognize that someone slowly stabbing me to death doesn't matter in the Grand Scheme of Things. I'm strongly of the opinion that stabbings are wrong, particularly stabbings of myself, but I defer to fact, to the precise accuracy of your words, which indeed declared a cosmic scale of reference. There, even the loss of Earth can become a footnote, be it by a ruined climate or a comet.
Now, having finished this tour of my respect towards meticulous accuracy, maybe we should revisit my first sentence.
iirc TFA says the circulatory system doesn't really penetrate to the cranium's innards bc space is a premium in there, and that means a loss in waste removal. Says during sleep the spinal fluids rise up and flush the brain, in lieu.
That alone would still be a physical, chemical demand, which hypothetically could be subverted somehow. But I still expect there's mental processing that's done during sleep; rearrangement, defrag, long-term memory writing. Yes, indexing. Things that can't be done while the brain is "on".
Cheating the sandman is almost up there with immortality and uploading myself.
>(a) it is not clear that Malibu Media's porn products are entitled to copyright protection
You've gone to great lengths to teach the population that EVERYTHING is imaginary property. If I can have legal control over any being in the universe touching the idea of round wheels, I can certainly own my filmography. You don't snub Malibu there.
>(b) discussed some of its questionable litigation practices
I guess they used dick moves? I guess you have to be a certain grade of "rich" to be allowed to lawyer-rodeo. I guess you're whining that you *want* to snub Malibu for dick maneuvers.
>(c) Malibu's "investigation" leads at best to an IP address rather than to an individual infringer
>(d) there is a major risk of misidentification
>(e) Malibu has no evidence that the individual John Doe committed any act of infringement
Thank God. Now set some fucking precedent. IP != ID. Vaguely incriminating circumstances lead to a suspect at best, and certainly not a verdict. By all means, snub them.
> (f) Malibu's claim that there is no other practical way for it to target infringement
That isn't a practical way either. If I don't have a practical way to catch my father's killer, that doesn't validate voodoo and crystal balls, it means I need to find new ways or fucking suck it up bitch you got squat. Snub 'em.
> is leddit not allowed
I realize all anyone cares about is formally-legal obligation, but I doubt the point of the dissent is forcing legal compulsion.
Yet feedback is relevant so long as user disregard is a bad move for a user-dependent business.
Which is a great segue into whatever all these retarded "Share" buttons are supposed to be; the hieroglyphs appear to have something to do with bird fucking.
Unfortunately 100 tons crushing down on a small knee makes walking impossible, let alone combat maneuvering. Shoot a $50 shell at the leg and the billion-dollar mecha can't stand. Then sustained fuel is pretty impossible; whenever Evangelion highlighted tethers it was just being honest. But more than energy, we'd need materials research.
You can scale better in space, where thrust/load bearing can be distributed away from legs. But space combat is still pretty fiction anyway.
Scutbitch field tech for the local school district. Ghetto fixes are routine, but not the impressive kind.
"Projector isn't working" means you need a rubber band to hold the classroom's shitty VGA cable into the shitty faceplate (feeding into the ceiling).
"Remote isn't working" means you broke part of the battery seat, and I have to use tin foil from my lunch with a coiled paper clip "spring" to close the circuit.
"Printer isn't working" because someone probably bumped that 20kg laserjet right off the counter. Opened it up so I could glue the ethernet port back together. I've gone through so much glue...
Jammed staples into ports more than once to align shit. Usually from inside so user can't see. Usually laptops. Pretty sure you dropped this, pal.
"Computer turning off"? No friend, it's overheating. Because HP (or was it a Dell?) uses shitty plastic clips on that model's CPU fan frames, which often break. I fix these by stuffing folded paper in as a gasket. Still a generous fix for an XP machine.
I'm like a dropout veterinarian who ended up playing hedge doctor in Nowhere, Africa.
If your thought process allows for unrevealed data to affect the equation, you'll realize this all makes a lot more sense. Specifically, ulterior motive.
This isn't about pedorist druglord arms dealers. It never is. They want to watch everyone everywhere everytime.
> implying The People select the laws
> Can you please provide a complete moral code
Our Betters have spent thousands of years trying to build a Complete Moral Code, even parts at a time. Many of them were even sincerely for everyone's sake. It'll be thousands more before Richelieu's quote can sleep.
I was thinking I'd ask Johnny McHealthy to drive me around for a bit, "The [eye?] doctor says I shouldn't drive today, mind helping me out? I'll buy ya lunch!"
Proles aren't quite cattle, if only because we're slightly more clever about resisting.
So go to your local uni. Humans researching humans all over the place. Is it something burdensome but not harmful? You'll still have undergrads doing it to each other. Is it painful and mildly harmful? STILL have them. It turns out when your "victim" can speak, they're usually going to say "it's a brief electric shock, I'm not such a pussy that I'll let THAT stop your progress".
Then you step up to an actual, tiny chance of injury and people are still lining up, starting with "these Scientists". People will KEEP lining up, to the point we have to put laws in place saying we can't do it anyway, even with volunteers, the exception being directly to ourselves (cue "these Scientists" doing some crazy shit to themselves).
Physical stresses ain't shit anyway, unless it's a process being applied over years. A punch to the face is painful (U R TORTURING PPL) but predictable and easily analyzed in comparison to drinking Chemical X for weeks in a medicinal study. And that's after we're pretty sure X is harmless because it worked fine on rats. Take the rats away and I'll nope to the moon. Everyone will. Anyone know if this cure for Polio2.0 is safe?
"Better than chance" gave me the context frame. Consider a spectrum: At one end we have highly abstract thought, at the other we have base emotion: hunger, anticipation, contentment, curiosity, etc. which frankly ain't shit to deduce. When exhibited like this, an EEG might as well be writing "FEAR" in bold block letters.
It's probably not that shitty. Once the appropriate code is written, it can probably recognize "I desire an apple. Tomorrow." and print it out. It might be able to recognize a person thinking "blue plus yellow makes green" and write that in words, but I wonder if it has the accuracy to recognize "three plus four makes seven".
This submission isn't useless, it has a distinct use once you see it.
It's an example.
It's a convenient and concise way to illustrate the Full Retard overclocking that's been hyping up, the entitled SJW chronic victim slash terminal offendee complex. This entitlement, the demands and imposed obligation, it draws a plain contrast will all the "IT'S MY RIGHT MY CHOICE" derping that's always going on two posts away, yet the irony seems to whoosh on.
The expectant arrogance is also ignorant. Even if, IF, Sony had promised to support and repair and replace and sell forever and ever and ever and we even said so in writing, you don't have to be a pessimist to know better. Even if the relevant branch intends to deliver as much, you don't have to be a pessimist to know there's no guarantee that branch will exist next year. Even Sony can become so acquired/mutated that "you're on your own" happens overnight.
And to put a cherry on top, this is FirstWorldProblems through and through. If we can drop a "something something labor market too bad so sad" on farm peasants losing their doctors, I see no reason I can't wave this away.
You optimists could find a bright side to cancer. I'll concede your point, though this also means Hollywood and CSI episodes will be marginally less ridiculous.

Cutting down streaming might look like another round of **AA suicide, but in more practical context this streaming hype is about as inefficient as you can get. It's like having a bitmap with zero compression. Your point stands, they're gimping the paying customers (again), but I can't mourn streaming.

While I'd agree on the semantics, OP may have meant the folly of hubris (but grabbed a word from the mind's "immediately available" box).
I always figured the hard part was detecting/locating debris, more than bumping it towards reentry or escape velocity.
I also always figured Planetes was going to be unmanned machines in practice.
