Agreed. In the business world, f'rinstance, I've *never* been given a limit on how many pages my report must be. Frankly, I would probably laugh. Though I've found occasionally that laughing at stuff like that is NSFW.
Great link, thanks, I'm going to save that in my references folder.
I believe staph infections are fairly common, as it the reason for it, and can produce symptoms within 1 hour.
Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcal food poisoning 1-6 hours Sudden onset of severe nausea and vomiting. Abdominal cramps. Diarrhea and fever may be present. 24-48 hours Unrefrigerated or improperly refrigerated meats, potato and egg salads, cream pastries
Then there was FDR who...fucked up the political system in America by imposing term limits which meant that politicians who have real plans that take more than 8 years to accomplish... won't.
This proposed and passed by Republicans after FDR died.
Then the news networks realized that they needed to differentiate themselves from each other in order to earn ratings and keep enough viewers to justify their jobs. So they started catering to groups.
After the Fairness Doctrine was repealed, networks eventually realized that news could now be entertainment. And profitable beyond their dreams.
They've turned Republicans and Democrats into team Red and team Blue. They have actively stacked the teams... not with political leaders.... not we law makers... not with anything like that. They stacked the decks with "Good TV"!!!
"Good TV", good line!
Both parties... instead of representing the people.... which means ALL THE PEOPLE... not just your own voters have decided instead that Team Red or Team Blue need absolute control of the government to make decisions without discussing anything with the bat shit crazy people on the other team.
The trouble is, each side will say that their decisions *are* "for the good of all the people".
No... neither party was ever sane... but what we have now is not democracy... It's the roman senate shortly before it was dissolved and an empire was declared.
Whether or not we've ever had a democracy can be debated. Also, the Roman senate was never dissolved. The label "Empire" was a later conclusion of historians, and was not declared as such at the time...for a century or two the Ceasars played the "Republic Game" where they followed all the old forms. People were fine with that for a while because they were tired of civil war.
Let me tell you something I know... anyone who backs a team is generally incompetent. Anyone who wants one team or player or the other to win... is well... I hope natural selection will eventually do away with those.
I guess eons of tribal evolution has produced a humanity that is generally incompetent. No argument there.
We are a single team.
Continuing with the metaphor, when a single team gets everyone together, what do they do? They break down into different squads and have intramural competition. There may be awards and honors for being the best squad. Competition is strong. And if there is no "other team" to compete with, to beat, then the intramurals will evolve into...different teams.
There is no white hats and black hats.
Have you watched any old westerns? The term has a very long history. And goes back even further if you include different colors.
A level playing field could be achieved by forcing a bot to view the game via a camera and input commands through robotics that are calibrated to not exeed human capability. Then, you’d be comparing “intelligence”.
There you go! Us meatcomps have to use a significant part of our brain for visual processing. Let's see what happens to an AI when it has to tackle that task, too.
Haven't read that series, but could certainly get down with Racoons being enhanced. LeGuin and many others have had Racoon characters in a lot of stories: they're "fun and mischevious; the lovable little thief trope", and allows the author to display their comedic talents. Larry Niven's Ringworld universe includes dolphins that could make use of their intelligence. Mechanical "hands" were invented so the dolphins could manipulate their environment. With all the magnesium laying around at the bottom of the oceans, fire not needed.
"Clearly a lot of people want Musk and Tesla to fail" "No, many of us are skeptical." Not mutually exclusive. Negation is not warranted here.
"Hate Musk and his products all you want" "All this "hate" doesn't exist." Then you haven't been reading all the comments in all the tfa's that have been published here.
"Calling a skeptic a hater is one sign" OP did not state that skeptics are haters. OP did not mention skeptics at all. OP mentioned "seeing the posts and reactions of people who want him (and his businesses) to fail". A good summation might be "all haters are skeptics; not all skeptics are haters".
Anyways, since humanity hasn't quite pegged down what intelligence is nor how to accurately measure it, I'm not sure what the debate is for. I believe many leaders past and present are low-iq knuckle draggers, yet possess large amounts of power over other humans. I'm not sure what that says for the so-called intelligence of humanity, either.

Ach, you're right, I just skimmed the wiki and missed that one.
Well, it looks like the badminton birdy could be quite a bit cheaper than the other devices, bringing it perhaps into consumer price ranges.
So kudos to them for their work, and kudos to you for informing me about pigs.
Yes, sure, but how then will we make a profit with our charity?
I've noted that sneering contempt is not a characteristic solely of the left.
And I agree that the technique is not persuasive to the other side. It can be used as a communication for ones own tribes.
I am annoyed, irritated and/or angry about the crap coming out both sides of the American Mouth.
Computers are great at some things, ideal for some tasks: not for voting. They suck at that.
Excellent comments, I vote you insightful!
Oh, wait...nevermind.
It appears that the "pig" is primarily a cleaning device. Not what TFA is about.
Interesting comment. A few points...

Over The Top - It's riding "over the top" of their infrastructure and therefore not an inhouse streaming service.
That may be all well and good, but that's not funny at all!
Over The Tubez, natch.
I came here to point out A Mistake on the Internet, and was pleased to get a double dose! I'm glad /. doesn't allow edits :)
A "play level one for free" demo is how I first experienced Doom.
I found my daddy's "demo" in his socks drawer. That is how I first experienced, um...
...several sequels and offshoots...
...yeah, that's it.
I think I got my money's worth.
I was able to watch it for almost 30 seconds. You youngsters have no attention span nowadays!
And thx for the link. Definitely an upgrade. You deserve a gratuity, so here...
Q: How does an attorney sleep?
A: First he lies on one side and then on the other.
...routinely, for probably close to 3 years now. Still don't have a fucking clue what its actual name is.
I believe it is "Day Of The Asshole".
But I can't google either.

...Given enough computing power, a self learning NN will beat humans at any task.
When will AI be good enough to give us shit articles, I wonder?
So.... why is this on Slashdot again?
Because "two consecutive games of Data 2."
I think this has something to do with STTNG.
E: All of the above.
You've summed it up quite nicely.
Video the bombs and it will be a top TV show!
Guys just like explosions! There would have to be a love interest to get
the women to watch.
Our bombs already have video noses. For the love interests, there's lotsa sexy pilots...
Send a squadron of X-37B's to bomb the fires with payloads of vacuum.

"You could create a pretty effective bird crime network". Maybe, but it would all come crashing down due to a few stool pigeons.
