Bring on GATTAGA and super-babies. It will make us better. And worse, but mostly better.
It will bring on elitism in a form and magnitude the world has never seen before. It might be good for the individual, but for society it's a terrible mistake.
Using that logic though -- the earth is what... 4.x billion years old (Okay, some of the resources we're overusing have first started appearing much later on, say 250m years ago)... and has only been in 'overshoot' mode for ~50? I think we've got some time to figure things out.
Conservation is great, but bullshit like this is not the way to encourage it.
Maybe in her brain it went like this >work for business owned by world's richest man >drive 60 miles for shitty job and low pay >get injured at work >recover >get injured again >sue >retire in luxury from millions of bezo-bux due to settlement from company, in its attempt to avoid (even more) bad press.
Not to defend amazon (they're horrible) or attack someone who's basically down on their luck.. but there must have been a job closer to home that paid a little bit better?
Eastern Europe's stance against forced diversity and migration is infinitely more sane than putting up with what Germany, Sweden, France, and the UK are inflicting upon themselves.
You're replying to a clear and obvious troll attempt.. But then again, it's not like there was an embargo (that was absolutely not imposed by a capitalist country either) that kept Cuba at a level of development from 1950, and led to wide spread poverty. Totes didn't happen.
Yep blame socialism. (Though blaming socialism is usually the right answer.. just not in this case.)
you have to wonder if there's some convergent evolution going on as well.
Given an earth-like planet, several billion years, and the same sort of 'events' that life on earth has seen -- is it unlikely that evolution would arrive at something strikingly similar to what we have on earth?
thunderbolt 3 is pretty standard at this point in time for eGPU's.
And, I might sound like a bit of a fanboy, but it's nice having a relatively light laptop I can lug around while traveling or whatnot, but when gaming I can hook it up to an eGPU and get pretty good performance. (roughly 80% of the desktop performance for a given card)
Granted it's cheaper to just go with a desktop; but in my case I already had a spare 970gtx and a laptop with TB3 -- so an extra 250ish for the eGPU box wasn't that big of a stretch.

you'd be trying to cool a completely busted and ruined SSD -- i mean go ahead, but i don't see the point.
there needs to be a new moderation option "fun-formatative" because yeah, that's pretty much spot fucking on, while still being funny.
Your totally right, he should keep his money and do absolutely nothing to help kids who are growing up in a shitty environment.

helicopter parents would howl in outrage as they wouldn't be able to nag/stalk their kid on a minute by minute basis.
how on earth did the human race ever survive without constant telemetry of our kids?
No. They do exist, they just never survive the primaries.
Just like moderates.
that is some weapons grade trolling -- kudos.

And no. requiring membership or taking away anonymity has a chilling effect.
The only way to have truly free speech and expression is the right to anonymity.

squeezing the Irish dry.. what would come out? Guinness or Whiskey?
You sound like the president of your local HOA.
i'd love to live in a society where insurers get to know every. single. fucking. thing about the habits and personal lives of their subscribers.
What is privacy, and how do we FINALLY abolish it completely? This might be the way.
So the embargo did absolutely nothing to the GDP or living conditions in Cuba?
Okay.

How many of these things do you actually do out of curiousity?
Cool another innovation for Apple!
First they invent the mp3 player
then the smart phone
then an app store
then the tablet
and now external GPU's??
Real men of genius indeed.
From chaos into a beautiful disaster. Should just sever TBH.

I think it's almost always a mistake to assume linear progress on R&D -- a single breakthrough can drastically alter time-lines.
Fuck you.

i sure as fuck hope so. if demand for red meat drops, my bbq addiction will become just that much cheaper.
Assigning a profit motive to incarceration is inherently *vile*.
