  1. Re:blame social media on Tech Groups Step Away From Gab Network After Shooting (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    big difference between believing tin foil hat nonsense and shooting people.... most the millions in those tin foil hatters aren't doing that.

  2. No, they criticize him for being an ivory tower idealist clueless about the real world. And they're right. No one is going to hire Stallman to make a functioning OS kernel for the real world, his HURD floundered for 35 years and it's still useless as ever.

  3. in HURD case it does mean failure, 35 years of trying to build something and it's as useless as it ever was.

  4. you mean the GNU project sucked up other successful projects, even the C compiler they made was total shit until another group rebuilt it properly...and then GNU took it back

    HURD proves Stallman and company can't manage a medium-sized effort to save their life, let alone a real life kernel.

    Stallman is okay for idea guy but actual real world stuff not his forte.

    yeah social media made him do it, riiiight.

    And it's Alex Jones supporters shooting up ghettos and committing half the violent crime in the nations. oh wait no, that's 2 demographic groups doing that and they vote Democrat.

    sure, Alex Jone and co. are whackjobs but their followers are mostly harmless compared to savages I'm talking about....

    except their jobs are not at stake. read the other comments here about who the "top lawyers" were and what the best scores of the lawyers who did participate was.

    the story and any conclusions are typical AI B.S. hype. Real world jobs not in any danger from AI since 1960s and that's still true.

    We know for a fact life can arise from organic molecules.

    We have zero examples of any other kind of life.

    We see organic molecules everywhere, even detected in another galaxy.

    so, there IF there is life elsewhere, there is excellent reason to believe it will be based on the compounds that made life on earth.

    There is zero reason to believe the other hypothesized life made of other elements would be found.

    my point was the Dept. of Commerce deals with BOTH, which seems to be lost on you. Until you learn what authority the Department of Commerce and the Federal government have in both realms, I suggest you keep your ignorant uniformed spew to yourself

    there is good reason that water is not used for drinking, it's filthy and also has contamination from nearby condenser motor lube, belts, etc..

    that's a complete guess if other compounds can be the backbone of life, some models have been proposed with zero examples in nature of course. since we see organic molecules everywhere in the universe it's not unreasonable to assume that life comes from and is built of those.

    That is not making a profit. Take a basic bookkeeping class and learn definitions. Tesla is not profitable, cars are not made at a profit. All car manufacturers have R&D and expenses.

    Sorry fanboi but the business world has a concise and clear definition of "profit", which is what Tesla is not making.

    Read the first words of his post "He is making a profit."

    No, Tesla and Musk are not, that is the fact.

    You are the one in denial of reality and needing basic reading comprehension.

    Again, no profit is being made, Tesla won't and can't make a profit.
