Uh, NO, I'm more or less on record that I think so-called 'social media' is bullshit, cancerous, and anyone with an IQ above room temperature should get the hell off it, stay off it, and be actually social, instead of ersatz-social. The fact that Trump vomits all over Twitter constantly more or less proves I'm right.
CBS can bite me. They've shit all over enough good stuff that happened to not directly serve their corporate interests, but that served long-time Trek fan interests, and that's left a bad taste in my mouth that isn't going away.
As someone else was saying, I'd rather watch The Orville. Much more possibilities there, judging by what I've seen so far, and it doesn't shit all over anything or anyone.
That's what this is, plain and simple: Huawei is mocking Trump, and all of us here in the United States along with him. That is what this man has done to us: made us a laughingstock, all over the world.
Does anyone who actually matters use Twitter or any other so-called 'social media' anymore? I don't think so.
If YOU are still using 'social media' then you should re-think that.
If you want hardware analogies, then biological brains in general seem to be more like a massive array of FPGAs, which can be reconfigured to serve new purposes.
Research like this may take us a small step closer to figuring out how a human brain actually 'thinks', leading us to being able to create real Artificial Intelligence, not the ersatz we're seeing right now. This research also serves to highlight how little we actually understand about our own brains.
Are you forgetting who it is we're discussing here? This is the guy that blathers all over Twitter constantly, in defiance of all logic and reason, contradicting official Policy, even contradicting himself, attacking friend and foe alike, and so on, and so on, and so on. How is it so far outside the realm of possibility that he's blathering about State Secrets and other classified subjects on an unsecured phone?
If what you're really telling me is that you actually believe you have no say in how your kids' school teaches them, then I must say you're doing it wrong. At the very least you can counter-act the Google 'programming' they're being indoctrinated with in any way you can.
If you can't be bothered to spend enough time raising your own children, then do not have them in the first place. You should not be allowing the TV, the Internet, Google, or anyone other than yourselves, and maybe close relatives, to raise your children.
Your argument is totally and completely irrelevant and invalid. That's a purely physical thing that is easily defined, how a human brain actually works is clearly and objectively NOT, otherwise we'd have machines already that work just like our brain does. I get accused by some shitty AC of being arrogant yet there are clearly those of you who are so overweeningly arrogant as to think that we've got this subject all figured out already, know all there is to know, but we clearly and objectively know next to nothing about it.
If we know SO MUCH about how our brains produce the phenomena of 'thought', 'cognition', 'consciousnes', and so on, then why do we not have machines that can do that? Because we DO NOT KNOW how these things work. You cannot refute that fact.
Why would you even bother with this? It's nonsensical. If you want to hide your money from the government then just bury it in a coffee can in your backyard or somesuch shit. Or get a safety deposit box at a bank and stash your cash in there. Seriously I don't get this shit.
We need to understand how a human brain is capable of producing the phenomenon we refer to as 'thinking'.
Before we can do that, we need to invent the instrumentality to actually be able to observe, in detail, how our own brains function; fMRI ain't cutting it, or we'd already have the answer to the above.
Then, and only then, when we have the understanding, can we create machines that actually 'think'.
What we have now just mimicks a very small element of how a brain actually functions. Throwing faster processors and more memory at it won't make it magically 'wake up' and be like a human brain.
I'm going to assume they understand all this since they seem to acknowledge that the current approach is insufficient and will be starting from square one for a new approach.
I think that's pretty much the anthem of Corporate America (and beyond?) these days. The ostenible 'product' they're selling seems to be just the bait on the hook for the real product, which is the purchasers' personal information. Seems like everything everywhere is now geared towards collecting data on people.
You're not getting it. Microsoft believes that it owns your computer, not you, and that that's right and good and the natural order of things. You're just a silly child, irresponsible and irrational, and what you want is not relevant; they see themselves as the parent in this scenario. It may sound like I'm spinning conspiracy theories but functionally speaking what I'm saying is accurate. Microsoft doesn't want you being the administrator of your own personal computer, they feel they're the only ones qualified to do that, and being True Believers in this concept, they have no reason to doubt themselves or listen to any opposing viewpoint. The exception is Enterprise systems, in which case they must cede some control to the corporations that are buying thousands of licenses from them. What you, the private single end-user wants, is irrelevant. They'll replace your questionable 'third party' driver with the one they wrote and qualified because they believe that's what's best. You should feel lucky they don't lock you out of drivers entirely, because they could if they wanted to. All of this is why Microsoft is to be avoided now.
LOL maybe YOU are far from 100%, but most of us aren't. In my ideal car-culture future, where reforms in driver education, training, and testing occur, people like you will be calling Uber/Lyft/a cab/taking the bus the rest of your life, because you suck at driving, so we sweep you out of the way so YOU don't cause accidents. The rest of us shouldn't have to pay the price for people like YOU who aren't capable of being competent, skilled, safe drivers.
This is all part of an overall strategy to destabilize NATO, with the ultimate goal being to weaken or completely destroy it, because NATO stands in the way of Putin building Soviet Union 2.0.

What the actual fuck are you even talking about, or are you overdosing on something? For fuck's sake STFU and GTFO, you're an idiot.

..all day long for weeks and weeks.
That's what the title should be.
Seems like it would be easier just to get a barcode tattooed on the back of your neck. You know, one with a number that begins with '999'?
Or is this supposed to impress us in some way?
Stupid people don't win the presidency
Please stop, I've already pulled a couple abdominal muscles from laughing so hard I can't see straight.

Are you forgetting who it is we're discussing here? Far from being the sharpest tool in the shed, even if it wasn't for his Tourettes.

But see we have NO IDEA how it is we 'think'. It's still a mystery mainly because we don't have a sufficient way to 'see' how our brains function.
