    oh yeah, let's talk about that tobacco that isn't around any more. Latest news about R.J. Reynolds,

    " In January 2017, Reynolds American agreed to a $49.4 billion deal to be taken over by British American Tobacco." -- wikipedia

    120 billion dollar market in the USA last year. Yeah, "took down tobacco" HAHAHAHA!

    It's still "deliverance country", it's a few states.

  2. nope, them thar are Romanc Catholics in that state, Trump's Bible thumper will tell you they're going to hell, along with all the men with pointy white hats that led them. And those priests that love altar boy bunghole too.

    So let me get this straight, the attorney general from the state of banjos and "Deliverance Country", complete with swamps and gators is going to take down multi-hundreds of billion dollar companies.

    yeah right. dream on.

  4. No, not even in USA. Have a look at how many states a female can get married at 16. Apparently, it's legal to fuck a 16 year old in half the USA, if married.

    Wrong, in plenty of states in the USA young women can get married at 16. As is true in many countries.

    16 is not a child, female would be sexually mature then.

    Pedophile means attraction to child that is not sexually mature.

    Ephebophilia is sexual attraction to adolescents, could say in many places this would be the crime he is guilty of... but depends on region.

    You're confused.

    Sure, 16 is too young I think, but the law says otherwise in half the earth including your country.

    nothing in orbit around the earth can go 30,000 MPH with respect to the ground though, that's some serious rounding! just over 25,000 MPH is the max, otherwise it's leaving

  7. but that point is that is false sensationalism.

    yes there was a massacre, yes it was horrible. but real count was 200 or more, not 10,000

    https://www.nytimes.com/1999/0...

    or check wikipedia, they have 200 to 10,000....haha quite a range

    you've fallen victim to believing U.S. sensationalism and propaganda

    wrong, men have watched nukes since there invention, and there is no "nuclear button" anyway.

  9. nothing actually happened in Tiananmen square, protester being killed under martial law happened elsewhere in Beijing that day... and not thousands either.

  10. not advocating a single person writing something in a vacuum. there are projects that do rewrite code more tightly, securely, and without the cruft, with proper testing and review. the LibreSSL rewrite of openssl
      is one, for example.

  11. Those were deaths from famine.

  12. no, it doesn't have to be natural to maim and kill others to steal from them and have power over them. many countries have rejected that evil mindset.

    so what if an invention was for military purpose, there are legitimate reasons to have a military. I was talking of use of militaries to do evil, to murder, steal, oppress.

    the internet has an evil control body centered in an evil country. much of the world has had enough of that evil country's nonsense.

  13. very wrong, applications now are built on many bloated layers such that no can understand or secure it.

    The massive security holes constantly being found prove it, and the vast majority of those are due to the same mistakes self-confident high IQ morons keep making.

    The amount code it takes to do actually a job is much smaller than the size of code we have nowadays, by a factor of at least 10.

    it is not "natural", it is laziness, arrogance and ignorance. Each and every security and bug flaw is the fault of that idiotic mindset.

    with a hundred bucks in an exchange called an FDIC insured bank account, it doesn't matter if there is critical failure, embezzlement, hacking.... your money is safe, liquid and read to use. even online, I use my bank account all the time to instantly pay bills online. all insured, secure (in that no money will be lost even if the bank is hacked or goes under)

  15. you're missing the point, the USA has even bigger body count doing evil than China, and supports a theocracy that engages in systematic oppression and genocide.

    Ignorant of history, tulip market did come under regulation in 17th century, look it up.

  18. Which is why those selling investments are also under the law, they have to be adults too. Markets are regulated, get used to it. Bitcoin isn't money, it's a game token for investment

    Haha no, the real electricity use according to ieee article criticizing it is comparable to mid sized city, not the stupid exaggerated claims such as article posted here claimed with power of Denmark's consumption... That's impossible.

  21. Points of entry and egress can be monitored, records subpoenaed, traffic blocked to those and to chain servers, use made illegal, etc.

    The software in life critical and safety systems indeed is already held to account. Conviction for a crime requires humans who review evidence and its veracity. Privacy depends on your lawmakers, some countries have a mindset of respecting it, others don't and wont' throwing the buzzword "AI" into a sentence doesn't change the problem that it's about software in general, whether or not a marketer slaps "AI" label on it
