  1. Here is a complete list of things from this thread that, besides AI, would make better decisions than politicians:

    o RNG
    o Magic 8 Ball
    o epileptic howler monkey on cocaine
    o dog turds
    o drunk toddler
    o Speak-n-Spell
    o Tay!

  2. I'm much more worried about 3D card stagnation. A central super-center, while needing millions, might only need a fraction of what PC land consumes, leading to less profit and therefore slower development. This is the forefront of computer chip advancement, with old Pentium's great grandchildren able to be tucked into a tiny corner.

    On the other hand, game services will update rapidly or be left behind on the latest games.

    Gas or diesel buses are, themselves, better than the equivalent number of cars, although I wonder if that considers average ridership on buses. They may be better than 20 cars, but not 2 for an almost empty bus.

    Concern over dictator consolidating his power permanently over 1.5 bilion people, jailing dissent, censoring everything, and issuing you a "good little communist" live rating that disallows you from doing everything from loans to renting to getting on a bus as punishment is archaic, out of date thinking?

    Remind me never to vote for you, assuming you aren't in a room somewhere in China as a paid troll shitstirring in the west for your lord and master who will disappear your wife if you disobey him.

    USA: Caught and proven to be bugging US-made routers for spying.
    China: Accused of but not proven to be bugging China-made routers for spying.

    Remind me again why we shouldn't trust Chinese hardware?

    Because China is interested in maintaining absolute dictatorial power over a billion and a half people, and tangling with freedom abroad, while the US is spying on those who would end your freedom without a second thought.

    You'll note nobody in China is permitted to wring their hands worrying about their dictator spying for the purpose of ending freedom.

  10. Yay! Trump is defeated and a dictatorship has insinuated itself into the free West's Internet hardware on a massive scale!

    Yes!

  11. You're probably right. However, you should recognize you, yourself, have been pwned by memes, such as the "Have sex!" variant designed to dissuade political participation, and could yourself be a paid astroturfing shitstirrer.

    Nobody knows. Which is the problem.

  12. Nobody is arguing it's not natural, just that it's not wise anymore.

    And, ironically, it is wise in developed, free nations because that increases the rate of technological advancement and resource issues are solved faster than they become problems.

    Time was, people had grave difficulties with theology of God-as-deceiver, described in the question of did Adam and Eve have belly buttons.

    If so, it indicated a past that never actually happened. If not, then they weren't in the image of God, of which Man in general is.

    Modern theology that tries to get around the vast size of the universe by suggesting God created space witb light from stars already 99.999% of the way here, suffers the same problem.

    Pretty much this. Europe is capitalist with large social safety nets. Venezuela goes wayyyyyy beyond that in both seizure of private facilities and massive corruption so the few who do make business can't do so without keeping a dozen local politicians and inspectors on the payroll, so nobody tries, and the economy struggles in good times. And around the world, these are pretty good times economically (domestic Trump yabble aside.)
