  1. Re:Grow the fuck up already on AI Could Get Smarter By Copying the Neural Structure of a Rat Brain (ieee.org) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Just because a politician doesn't espouse policies you support doesn't make him stupid, nor you smart.

    If anything, it shows you're close-minded and not as smart as you believe you are - you can't even conceive the notion that you just might be wrong.

    Fact isn't a policy you neanderthal. You are confusing reality with active choices, such as religion or snorting cocaine. Like with evolution (also a fact), the details of how we affect our climate are well understood, and those details are described in abundance, readily available for anyone that wishes to understand them. The comprehensive model for our climate is still very turbulent, as with most complex systems we try to understand.

    Choosing a policy is what happens later, when you have the facts. The process of going from fetus to adult human being is a fact, the policy of when a fetus is considered a human is not a fact. Evolution is a fact. Choosing to replace biology with creationism is a policy.

    Not "believing" the facts is what makes Trump a moron, not his policy, though obviously the latter would change were he to stop believing the former a "hoax by the Chinese". Hence he, like you, could benefit from an 80 point IQ bump, since most people of average intelligence and all above that can read well enough to understand how our actions affect our environment.

    In short, you are so far below the standard human in terms of intelligence that you think fact is a policy, that your opinions are somehow equivalent to science (muh feels), and that your betters are somehow close-minded for trying to educate you.

    AI Could Get Smarter By Copying the Neural Structure of a Rat Brain

    So could Trump. Why not put that bloated military budget to good use and invest in our POTUS? Heck, if we could bump his IQ by an extra 80 points he might even reconsider supporting the Paris agreement.

    So China implemented the law that Trump so recently repealed? Sounds like China is the place to be for next 4 years.

  4. Is Donald Trump Michael J Fox in disguise? on India Tech Giant Warns Trump's 'Radical Shift' to Hurt Industry (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Some workers have blamed Trump for prompting the job losses and exacerbating problems in the industry.

    How exactly can Trump be responsible for the job losses from outsourcing to India? Does he own a DeLorean? As far as I know he has had nothing at all to do with the instigation of H1Bs, though I'm sure he has used them on occasion.

    Is this a case of "let's blame Trump for the bad weather"?

  9. Re:Bingo! on 'Science Must Clean Up Its Act' (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I was just about to say this.
    In the three universities/institutes where I spend my days, the only emails (institute mailing lists) I get about diversity/inclusivity/equality/sexism blah blah blah come from people who aren't doing any actual research. They're all full-time administrators or teachers.

    The actual female scientists (around 50% in biology) are busy applying for grants, publishing research, or admonishing recalcitrant PhD students. They don't have time for what is well-known BS at this point.

    Unfortunately it has become career suicide to point out the obvious lack of supporting facts or evidence for all this modern feminism.

    That's fine, the current left has no interest at all in "for everyone".

    Windows 10 S isn't for everybody, and Windows 10 S may not be for you, but if Windows 10 S succeeds, it will make Windows 10 better for everyone.

    If Windows 10 S succeeds, it means MS will discontinue W10 in favor of this walled garden. Why the hell would they continue with a more open platform if consumers accept their attempts at stooping lower still? Out of the kindness of their black, oily, hearts? Out of a desire to maintain multiple branches of the same OS?

    I have from this obvious inference concluded that the author is an idiot that spends his free time writing insightful retorts in the Youtube comment section.

    It could be related to the French law that makes it illegal to campaign the day before the election. Any French news outlet that discusses the leaks will be prosecuted.

    It could also be related to the obvious connection between these leaks and fake news and Russian interest in supporting Le Pen.
