You name it, he does worse at it than any other President by a considerable margin. The simple fact that he makes GWB look extremely competent should be enough.
Conversely, what has he done that makes you think he's really an achiever in disguise?
What would be interesting is what would be the reaction should Twitter, a private company decide to block his personal account, since they have that right.
Oh ok. Either that or I listen to the man himself...
Trump is by far not as stupid as the persona he projects appears.
Maybe not, but he's still stupid. We know he's stupid because his entire career has resulted in below average results compared to the market. And in the 7 months of being in office has achieved below average results when compared to his peers.
But keep believing it's all an act if that makes you feel better...
"Musk is hailing the achievement as the first time artificial intelligence has been able to beat pros in competitive e-sports"
I've been playing multiplayer games for decades, and cheat bots have always been able to beat humans. There is no way you can compete with something that is programmed to headshot you the millisecond any pixel of your player appears in their field of view (which also happens to be 360 degrees all the time).
Maybe this claim only applies to DOTA, because for any FPS this has always been the case.
I'm only guessing here, but I'm betting that being a billionaire he isn't locking the gate himself. He probably has some ex-special forces or UFC dudes as his private security, so good luck getting through them to do anything.
can we please stop trying to disguise fuck as f___?
No. The WHOLE POINT of profanity is its ability to shock and offend people. If it is used openly and casually, it loses that ability.
The purpose of writing is to communicate. When I think 'fuck', then I write 'fuck', you read 'fuck' and think 'fuck'. Ie message communicated.
If I write F___ instead of 'fuck' the exact same communication occurs, so replacing characters does nothing to change the message being communicated.
If you want to keep certain words taboo then don't use them at all. Using them but censoring a couple of letter achieves nothing.
Open floor plans suck. Horribly. Why? Privacy. I'm stuff in a place doing work for 8 hours a day, and now you're going to take away my small walls so that everyone can watch my computer and listen to my phone calls.
Not all open plan is the same. A place I worked had many breakout spaces for private phone calls, whiteboard space for workshopping, even a couple of closed rooms with bean bags if you wanted some rest time.
Open plan doesn't have to mean a warehouse.
I once worked for a company that did this. Why? Thermostats. The women were constantly pushing them higher, while the men were pushing them lower, leading to many arguments. The CEO finally got fed up and put the "hot" people in one room and the "cold" people in the other. This led to mostly segregation by gender, although there were some scrawny guys that went to the warm area, and a few "big" women preferred the cooler section.
Ha! I've worked dozens of different jobs and this is one of the few constants across the board. There is no easy solution to this since different people have different comfort levels, especially older females as they biologically suffer from menopause which throws their internal heating balance up the shit.
I use spacial cues in FPS games because there is no way that I could remember left/right turns in games like Skyrim.
The study also found that playing 3D platformers (i.e. Mario Brothers) reversed the grey matter loss.
What did they say about CounterStrike? I play a fair bit and seem to have above average reaction, attention, motor skills etc, but also have terrible memory. To the GP's point, do I care? Figuring things out quickly is more important these days than remembering stuff, could this just but an evolutionary shift where strong memory becomes as useful as a tail?
I'm not either, but I'm interested in how FB seems to be trying to be the everything guy. And what happens when you try to please everyone...
This is only going to end in bloat and then user will look elsewhere. While FB is popular now, so have lots of things that now aren't. I think this approach to try and do everything will ultimately be the end of them.
We have a bit a game whenever the family is in the car, as soon as the radio stations stops playing music we flick to the next station looking for another song. These days it's getting harder and harder to find music so we are increasingly switching over to Spotify more and more often.
I like the randomness of radio surfing rather than me choosing a genre as with Spotify, but it is almost impossible to do these days.
In these situations, obviously the workers would need to be using a transmitter to broadcast updated road speed information in a standardised format to all vehicles. Isn't this just common sense?
Right so now we need wireless networks to every square cm of roadway on earth. Common sense isn't really as common as you think...
Why not just have a geospatial database of signs that self-driving cars access? Then it won't matter what's on the sign, or if the sign even physically exists.
Like Electronic voting, it then becomes a whole lot easier to attack the entire system at once then just one tiny part.
So no, don't do that...
Short term effectiveness has been shown. But I couldn't find any data about how effective they are over the long term, as people get used to them. Can anyone cite long term data?
That could be fixed by putting the odd real pyramid in every once in a while:)
It was pure luck that they had one of their most experienced flight crew on board, who managed to land the craft with no loss of life.
So put all those process into the script and suddenly every flight now has that same chances, not just one.
I agree a human should be around just in case, but don't think that machines can't be taught to know as much as humans.
Let's say a pilot earns $1000/week, and flies 10 flights of 3 hours each per week. That means about $100 per flight with that cost paid for by the 200 passengers, so about 50 cents each.
I don't know about you, but 50 cents seems like a cheap insurance policy. Even if I have my numbers wrong, it' not going to more than $5 per flight per passenger.
You would be pitiable if your ideas weren't so damn dangerous to all of us..
And here's the rub. I live in a society that has some of the longest life expectancy, lowest crime, highest quality of life, lowest corruption ever seen in human existence. And it comes at a cost that most people find acceptable. So by definition if you followed theses same ideas you would likely have less danger, not more.
TL;DR:
Quite clearly you are too lazy to read since you missed the point of my post...
Of course you are, until someone takes all your stuff you cry like a bitch that not enough is being done to protect you.
It was Churchill who said "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter"
Churchill also said "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others". So unless you another another suggestion, we're stuck with democracy, and based on all recent elections, most people prefer a little security in their lives.

Of course he can. It's his personal account.

Forbes estimated that Trump's net worth in 1988 was $1 billion, growing to about $4 billion in 2015 â" a comparatively meager 300% increase
Sure "below average". I'm sure you don't want to switch places, right? Who'd want a puny 4 billion?
The argument is not if you want more money, it's is a Donald Trump a below average performer. Your evidence makes answer that clear.
But keep believing it's all an act if that makes you feel better...
"all" is such a word. As I said: He's definitely not the most wholesome person, but if you think that he is as stupid as he seems on TV.
Not as stupid, but still stupid as everything he's done in life demonstrates. Below average businessman, most incompetent President.
You drink too much mainstream media bullshit.
Oh ok. Either that or I listen to the man himself...
Trump is by far not as stupid as the persona he projects appears.
Maybe not, but he's still stupid. We know he's stupid because his entire career has resulted in below average results compared to the market. And in the 7 months of being in office has achieved below average results when compared to his peers.

But that's obvious to anyone with three working brain cells.
But unfortunately for all of us, the guy who decides such things only has 2...

That's a particularly stupid strawman, and you know it.
You might as well try to argue it's fine to steal from retailers.
They try to rip me off, I try to rip them off, isn't that how the world works?
Ah, the old I don't like the pricepoint, so I'll just not pay.
It seems to work for rich people with their tax...
