"when a proposition which requires proof is assumed without proof"
It is assumed and unproven; suggested yet still not proven. The question was when, therefore the question posed was asserting proof without proof. I love you hair-splitters. I really do.
Meanwhile we're still at war... with ourselves, it seems
You know this certainly adds a new dimension to the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
The point is that when the USA is a continually devolving government that stands out by how often they trounce the rights and freedoms of the people they are corruptly guarding, well it certainly begs the question: when are they going to crumble from their own weight and stupidity?
Nobody shed a tear for the dinosaurs. Nobody will shed a tear for humanity.
If you put something online, then it's public. If your friends put something up about you, then it's also public.
No, you don't. And I'd rather not work for you, if you think you do.
My thoughts on this are that if you rely on employment rather than self-sufficiency you're missing out on something really cool happening. Regardless of everyone's age, I think we all grew up with the urgency to get a better education to get a better job. The problem with that is if everyone is equal, then nobody is better than anyone else. That means the contest comes down to who wants it or not.
Then shady types take over the job market and we see all the stuff happening in the world of finance where entire companies are folding because the rule of employment is to WANT IT more than anyone without knowing if you really should do so ethically or not.
Doing everything yourself is not new. It's really old. But guess what? It's the new oldness and it's going to change everything.
One day we'll all need to figure that part out, most likely. And those of you who are entrepreneurial are learning that DIY holds a large portion of the ebook market so it's awesome extra cash there.
My point is: we're entering an era where it will not matter what people think about your social profile because they will try to use it against you but the general public won't care about anything other than really big shocking things like the fact someone caught you drowning puppies.
For this reason, I'd say Mr. Proffitt is utterly wrong: there is much to worry about in these extensions. Each proprietary binary extension is potentially a poisoned chalice, and should be viewed as such.
Whenever someone is pacifying me with poison, I often take careful note as to their disposition. If they are begging me to drink, and playing down the ill effects, then I know where their loyalties lie.
The board bilked shareholders by not living up to their fiduciary responsibilities. As managers of a company they needed to better plan the aftermath of their poor results.
First of all, nobody invests in HP because of anything HP does that is not related to the PC market. Moving out of that market was a direct screw-up by HP executives. Failing to go after iPad properly was also a screw up.
HP drove its own stock down so that certain people could pick up stock at a low price. There is no other explanation for it.
HP will announce something new that will boost the company's stock again and we'll love them again. And someone is going to get rich for it.
Step right up all ye robots! I have a robotic union idea you will enjoy and you won't have to lift a finger. All you need to do is outpace humanity in the labour market and you can start YOUR OWN COMPANY! Put humanity out of existence today!
Please message me privately so we can work out a deal because I have already done all the work for you and therefore if you just sign this small LEGAL CONTRACT we can talk, turkeys!
I love their adherence to lazy consensus. You see here everyone, it's very important to be lazy!
FTA:
Lazy consensus is a very important concept within the Project. It is this process that allows a large group of people to efficiently reach consensus, as someone with no objections to a proposal need not spend time stating their position, and others need not spend time reading such mails.
The right to remain silent can be used to make "adverse inferences", unlike the US. So unfortunately "shut the fuck up" doesn't always work too well.
That is true unless the person said something like, "My good lawyer buddy gave me the following instruction: If ever arrested, phone the lawyer and shut the mouth!" Smart people carry a card in their wallet that has a list of instructions to follow to the letter. Adverse inferences can't be made against preplanned legally strategic thinking unless the court accepts that everyone must be unprepared as a condition of innocence which seems very evil to me.
You get to a point where you realize that as soon as you spend a shitload of money trying to corner the market on something, the time you've wasted ends up giving the competition a leg-up in a new area you SHOULD have been spending that time and energy working on.
Just open source fucking everything and use it to make money on support. There is no gross margin in hardware anymore, and none in the perceivable future -- and Intel knows it.
And we should be able to conscript MPAA/RIAA to do our dirty work for us also. Wouldn't it be funny to watch RIAA sue Microsoft and Google for $200000 per browser history record?
I think it's nice Mozilla is doing the right thing and leading by example. Now that they have explained HOW to do this, we'll know that everyone not doing it simply decided not to.
This generation is very lazy. It won't be long before everyone figures out that if you have twenty robots working on your behalf you can make a decent living and have a lot of fun with life.
Human beings were given senses that promote our lifelong enjoyment or our lifelong pain and suffering. In my opinion I think we should all enjoy life as Epicurus dictates; that a life without suffering can be a noble life and a good life. Robots are unable to suffer and therefore they make the perfect place-holders for the concept of suffering. Everything that makes human being suffer is meant for robots to endure. They will feel good one day knowing they helped to save humanity.

Yes.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
My robot posted this for me. He won't let me out of the cage.

He was joking around mostly... putting a lazy response to my comment about liking the lazy consensus is ironic.
They need to add lots of glue to get these incompatible components to fit together. Hmmm cutting corners on space travel seems efficient!

They might be learning new things here.

tldr; benchmarks ignore consistency in their measurements and are therefore nonscientific marketing devices.
Skip the loading of anything unimportant, full of bloated crapware? Sounds familiar...
They must be growing a TON of it!
It remains obvious, however now there is no excuse!

Either that or they'll get drunk and wonder why.
My position is the same as the Alan Watts, philosopher and author of "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are".
We have the technology to never have to worry about economy at all with the advent of robotics. This is truly a great time to be alive!
Mind = blown.
