Why don't you instead try to convince people outside of your various interest and grievance groups that you are actually worth voting for?
They're entire draw is appealing to schizophrenic people with special interests who hate others to an extreme, if they toned down their rhetoric they would lose have their base to suicide.
Well over 50% of modern drugs are extracts from plants used in ancient medicines across the world, almost all of which are from things used to treat exactly what the modern drug does.
The first part makes it sound like that traditional Chinese healing mysticism.
If it's an ancient Chinese medicine I would give it some credit (that's how we ended up with TA-65 from astragalus membranaceus afterall - nobody seriously believed they had a way to increase longevity with some root powder mixed in a tea or soup, but after reviewing the statistics of people taking it vs not they decided to pick it apart and found a bunch of similar compounds which when consumed together allowed them through the digestive tract intact which in turn activated telomerase in cells all across the body to lengthen telomeres - which turns out to be the only method we know of doing so in Humans.) Ancient medicines tend to have thousands of years of trial and error backing them, the record keeping is usually very suboptimal, but if people take it over thousands of years they can typically guess they aren't poisonous and if there are any substantial benefits or not. You have to keep in mind that ancient people had a LOT of spare time even while working (since ancient work was relatively lacking in intense thought or distraction) so their intuition around this stuff was much better developed. There may well be a compound in cockroaches which has the effects described.
Ancient medicines and remedies have had a pretty strong track record when it comes to leading to modern drugs - ancient herbalists were about the most scientific people of their time. The issue is that modern herbalists use things like literal snake oil from the scammers in the 1700's/1800's just as often as the ancient remedies, or take extracts from the ancient remedies without knowing what they are actually extracting or if they are even getting the right thing in the extract or if they are getting too much/too little of whatever the active ingredient(s) are (usually herbal remedies are actually a combination of active ingredients either from having been a mixture of base materials or simply because a plant produced multiple things, which makes them particularly hard to actually isolate and determine what causes an effect when it exists.)
TL;DR: ancient remedies usually work, hippies are the problem.
100% of ICOs are scams. If the cryptocurrency did anything new and had any intrinsic value anticipated over time the developers wouldn't offer an ICO, they would say "mine it yourself and trade when you want" then hold all they could for as long as they could.
Call me stupid if you must, but I have a hard time understanding the trend towards the 'driver-less' vehicles - from cars to vessels to perhaps, airplanes
A few reasons:
-Automating them would put a lot of highschool educated males out of work, which is a lot of money for the people doing the automating.
-They could reduce (but not eliminate) the number of deaths with automation in order to ensure 99% of auto fatalities are political dissenters.
-They can make people more accepting of giving up control over things if they trust their lives on a daily basis to such a system.
-The cars themselves are very deep spyware.
-The cars could be remotely controlled to ensure only the people running the system can successfully undertake criminal activity.
-That second point is the prime motivator.
They have the option of selling their buttholes to the highest bidder just like every other artist does, they aren't special because they write for the NYT.
For US products it's better to have NSA backdoors than Chinese backdoors. I'd rather have neither of course, but as little as alphabet agencies may be our friends, the most a foreign government is capable of being is an ally, and China isn't even that.
Wow, how did you get so good at typing with your eyes rolled into the back of your head while oxygen deprived due to sniffing your own farts? Seriously impressed.
The things that they know, ANYONE could know if they did what Facebook did. It's how the web and internet generally works that enables this, not Facebook.
Silicon Valley isn't the web, they are the corruption of the web. Step outside your bubble, shill.
"Pass a law to solve a problem" is the refrain of the incompetent.
You couldn't be more right, we need to repeal the laws which forbid us from hunting marketing, sales, PR, and generally corrupt people for sport. Deregulate murder and this issue would be gone within a year.
The billion dollar question is...How close is close enough?
When profits exceed losses due to lawsuits.
The law needs to be adjusted to accept the reality that nothing is perfect
No, the opposite needs to happen. The lawsuits need to bring in bigger losses for the companies responsible such that idiots like you are forced to do better instead of calling any non-zero percentage of fatalities you cause "good enough." You're a fucking disgusting waste of Humanity, and lazy on top of that.
The people who think it takes hard AI to achieve full autonomy in a self driving car vastly overestimate the cognitive abilities of human drivers.
Or, and this is a just a (correct) thought: you're a self-indulgent futurist moron who overestimates yourself by assuming the rest of the world is retarded so surely a computer can do it.
They're passing the insurance premiums based on their failure rates onto consumers. They're literally charging consumers to pay for the lawsuit their families file when the car kills them. This is exactly what Musk fanboys deserve, I'm so conflicted because it's like Musk has become an actual hero now.
Been in IT for 2 and a half decades, you fraud. I know the systems involved and you're full of shit. Parasitic corporations are the result of corruption which increases over time in an economic system, they are the natural result but that's why we have regulations and in extreme cases revolutions. Businesses are a construct to do a thing, people are corruptible. The people who focus their energy on learning how to manipulate others as opposed to learning how to manipulate the laws of nature are the most inherently corrupt, and that is what corrupts the overall system.
I do experiments and 3D printing always radically reduces the costs of the apparatus required, usually on the order of being 0.01 - 0.001 % of the cost without a 3D printer, it's absolutely ridiculous how cheap it makes it to do science experiments.
Um, you sure about that? I used to keep tabs on Space Nutters, I had a list of posts and users that definitely were "touched" in the brain. Read this book
I said "people," not "plebs." What the masses do has never and will never constitute what Humanity does or considers, they are tools of the people with the resources to control them. They cheer for space colonization akin to The Expanse and asteroid mining because their masters want a backup plan for the Earth. They cheer for the riches without comprehension of the market effects because they have no concept of the market effects and that's a useful lie. It's like when a dictator convinces a bunch of idiotic mass of people they will get free shit if they help put the dictator in power - the fact they don't know it's a lie is irrelevant to the course of Humanity because if they did have the mental faculties to know it were a lie they would have been told something else.
I don't disagree, but they should really be focused on recycling technologies. We still have to send water up to crack into oxygen while throwing the shit overboard and continuously taking in new resources. We need mechanisms to recycle (not filter) things like Ammonia and shit for space habitation a Hell of a lot more than we need a tech to navigate which would be dependent upon a tech for propulsion we aren't anywhere near having yet (that's not to say this isn't useful research, but they should really be focused on advanced propulsion development and waste reclamation - the former just to be able to get anywhere [dread reckoning with an engine is better than GPS without so much as having legs] and the latter to be able to actually survive without constant resupply from Earth and the associated logistic chain.)
3D printing is actually pretty fucking big when it comes to science because it is used heavily in building test apparatus these days - which themselves would have driven up the costs of research projects by several orders of magnitude if they all had to be done via CNC still. Segways were fucking stupid and only idiots ever thought otherwise. Modern AI is definitely nothing like an AI - it's just a heuristic network at best, usually it's more rudimentary pattern recognition (e.g. we figured out how we do something, then made an obfuscated system to replicate that) that everyone seems to expect will develop sentience when you throw enough of it together - where the issue is we're still 50-100 years from having the world's most powerful supercomputer even having the hardware capability to match the brainpower of a mentally retarded person. I don't think people are seriously considering colonizing the universe via the asteroid belt, so much as they want backup plans on other planets and are using the bait of asteroid mining valuable materials in conjunction with pretending they have their head in the sand over the fact those things would be worthless and rapidly depreciating in value the moment you started a supply chain bringing them back to Earth - the overall intent on that one of having a backup in case Earth gets hit by an asteroid is a fundamentally good idea though.
The entirely Silicon Valley model is founded upon raising interest in shit which doesn't exist then delivering on it after you've raised hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.
This is a fundamentally dumb model which favors marketing and sales people controlling wealth instead of scientists and engineers, so you end up with things like Theranos and OLPC, which after all the fundraising prove to be impossible at a technical level.
This in turn further consolidates wealth with the people most incapable of using it to drive Humanity forward: the marketing and sales people. Meanwhile the scientists and engineers are treated as tools to achieve the ambitions of the "big picture" morons.
The entire draw of OLPC was much like code.org/summer-of-code, in that if you give all the third world kids laptops then it follows you could radically undercut the labor costs of the nerds making the shit ideas happen. It's a good thing it failed, but the fact it gained so much interest is itself a sign of these horrible things.
There's no nice solution to this problem, but probably the one which would benefit Humanity the greatest amount while propelling us forward the furthest technologically would simply to be lynch the marketing and sales people, or maybe just trigger fault line and drop Silicon Valley into the ocean.

I think you pulled that number out of your ass.
Then do some research, you outspoken moron.
Why don't you instead try to convince people outside of your various interest and grievance groups that you are actually worth voting for?

About 130-160 for most salaried jobs in the US, not counting weekends and holidays it's usually a month worth.

I don't disagree, but as an American I'd rather my own government have it than the Chinese.
And how exactly are sites supposed to make money?

Some hack on their AI team probably told Musk that the car couldn't drive itself because the production and test environments weren't the same.

There is nobody that is even alive today, nor probably for the next several centuries, that is going to need something like this.
And George Boole was just a madman.

This post is so economically unsound and politically biased in suggested policy it isn't worth addressing seriously.
