Buy some bullets. find a piece of steel pipe in which the bullet fits smoothly. Drill a hole in a bloc of wood to hold the pipe. Drive a nail in another block of wood. Attach a rubber band to each side of the first block of wood, after first passing it through a hole in the second block. Put bullet in end of pipe. Pull second block back, so that the rubber band slams the nail head against the bullet.
Yes, that is actually a gun. Yes, that will actually work. Yes, you do stand a good chance of blowing you fool hand off doing it.
Why would you have to take the license plate off the car to apply a sticker? Why would you have to wipe grime off anyplace other than where the sticker goes? If you're having this much trouble, maybe I should start an Uber like service where I have an app that will get a 12 year old to come over and put the sticker on for you.
Is there enough to use for propulsion? I imagine a space ship with a large magnetic funnel being projected in front of it. If the grease can be ionized, it can be pulled down the center of the funnel, accelerated, and shot out the back. The magnetic cloak would serve to accelerate the ship, block cosmic rays, and keep the grease from coating it.
Who would you sue? People provide information about themselves voluntarily. Are you saying that employers should sue their employees for letting LinkedIn know where they worked and what skills they have?
Did a phone interview with Amazon once. Told him at the end that I wasn't interested. I could see right through what he was getting at, and it is exactly what you reference.
I worked for a large company that made networking equipment. My job was to run a sanity test framework for their operating system. Developers load the images in a queue, the system pulls them, loads them on real hardware, and executes a body of tests.
The problem was that a bad image would hose the system to where it couldn't reboot, and then it would not be able to correct itself. Every image after that would fail. My job was to come in, clean up the mess, and apologize to each developer. It was actually stressful.
I repeatedly told the manager how I could fix it, and he always said we didn't have time. I waited for him to travel for a week, I shut down the system, and fixed it so that the system got completely initialized between every run. From that point on, every failure was a real failure cause by that developer's changes.
My job became a cake walk. I find most of the stress in this industry is self induced by clueless fucks being in charge.
Scientist are people, too, and they have thier own opinions and values.
One scientist will decide that the fuel pumps need to all be immediately turned off and every power plant, coal or natural gas, shut down because global warming in 100 years.
A different scientist calculates that there we be immediate deaths due to people freezing or starving from the lack of transportation of food, and decides that the fuel should flow and the power plants produce.
Go sit for a few hours in a pure oxygen atmoshpere. I DARE you. Go sit for a few minutes in a vacuum. I DARE you. Go sit for a few seconds in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. I DARE you.
Every few years you will throw out all the technology you've learned, and learn new technology that does the exact same thing. Get used to it. Your job is to learn new stuff...that does exactly what the old stuff did.
I'm also one of those people, and never once had a desire to see others struggle. I did, however, witness a lot of stupidity and bad choices. Choices for short term pleasure instead of long term gain. Having witnessed the choices being made, I now find it difficult to give a fuck about the predictable results. Go to school. Do your homework. Stay off drugs. Keep your job, even when it isn't fun, at least until you have another. Everybody has to go through bullshit to succeed, and there are no shortcuts for the vast majority. There is luck, but that is just opportunity meeting preparation, and it is the ones who always refused to prepare by cultivating skill, ability and competence that are whining about missing out on it. So, how about you getting over yourself, asshole. Nobody owes you anything.
Letâ(TM)s just for arguments sake say that the US doesnâ(TM)t have those problems. What do they focus on? Separating children from their sex trafficers... way to make the world a better place.
FTFY. You do realize that is why the Democrats passed the law, right?
No. Smarmy, self-assured Slashdot posters and their ilk claim that anecdotes are not data. AN anecdote is not data. It is a datum. Once you have multiple anecdotes (notice the s indicating a plural), you most definitely have data.
Every single experiment ever performed was an anecdote.

Having used public transportation in Santa Clara, CA, this would be my primary worry.
Just in case this isn't sarcasm;

I saw the movie "Iron Sky" last night. Will the Indians build a giant space saucer to attack us with if we allow them to mine the He3?
These problems are almost as old as AI itself, nearly half a century old, and we haven't made any real improvement in solving them.
If by that you mean "as old as men trying to talk to women" , which is MUCH older than AI, then yes,I'd agree with you.
Spoiler alert:
They guy was wrong.
I'll eat spaghetti with hot grits in my pants.
Why should NLP remain sane?
All Arnold had to do to hide from the Predator was to roll around in the mud. Much cheaper.

One of my first employers was an honest guy. He told me my job was to sell my services to the highest bidder.

Also an older worker. In my current gig, I was asked why I wasn't working all weekend like the other developers. Quote, "Because, my stuff works."
I'm not the company superstar, but I've had the time to build two airplanes. My pay is still good.
I'm 51. I don't work like that. I suggest you move out of the "high tech" areas. Nobody expects you to work like that in Raleigh, NC.

They can both be right.

I've been at this for 20 years now.

You've never heard of "Lucas Electrics, The Prince of Darkness"?
Unless the speech is conservative, in which case it is called "hate speech" and a mob is called out to squelch it with bats.
You mean violence like this
No. But if he had a son it would have looked like Trayvon.
