    Microsoft dominates the desktop and laptop market

  2. how is it racist shit when the people who ride camels are caucasian?

    guess again, it's a statement about willful human ignorance and stupid beliefs that causes poverty and misery

    the next billion years will probably be the last for multicellular life, neat scenarios here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Hardly anything to worry about, modern humans have been around for less than 300,000 years, and 540 million years ago all the types of animal phyla suddenly appeared when before that most life was single celled

    wrong. the only mistake the thief made was letting it go for weeks. crook smarter and less greedy could have disappeared sooner and got away with it.

    there are a bunch, and the Milky Way interacts with "satellite galaxies" and even made some of them...plus we'll "collide" with Andromeda in "only" a couple billion years...which mostly won't hurt individual star systems but will eject many.

    so yes ejections happen "often" on cosmic timescales

    not relevant, Amazon is making a profit

    Tesla will get slaughtered by the mainstream manufacturers who can do ten plus times their volume

    I understand very well. a growth company that never turns a profit won't survive

    train networks use trucks. lots and lots of trucks. and we've been building rail for a century and a half. getting coast to coast hyperloop with the hubs like Chicago is going to take just a wee little bit of time......

    if you're a kid to say something so ignorant is fine

    otherwise, losing a third of business suddenly would destroy most companies.

  11. Turing test means nothing, it's not some proven or rigorous system of verification. It was basically just Turing musing or talking out of his ass. Forget about it.

    Yes I'd rather have warning I will be speaking to a resident of a 3rd world shithole reading from a script who has never used the product

    it DOES mean they're scams when at least a third of the dollar amount is either fraud or ventures by speculative investors that don't pan out

    the collective total of those "green" charities is utterly negligible compared to global carbon emissions. the only good they do is for helping people, not reducing atmospheric carbon. they don't matter for that case

    I'm thinking math is hard for you.

    nonsense, carbon offsets are a scam, billions of euros in fraud known and the true extent of the crime unknown.

    using less fossil fuel is the only way, not trading scams.

    your donations are useful for helping people but pointless for reducing carbon output of civilization, the magnitude is a gnat's fart in a hurricane.

    real solutions, not feel good marketing hype is what's needed

  16. Re:Space travel is dangerous on Could SpaceX Rocket Technology Put Lives At Risk? (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    space travel can never be at the level of risk of air travel. Random rocks of all sizes hitting you at tens of thousands of kilometers per hour, high radiation, need to regenerate or create atmosphere, loss or irregularity of propulsion causing one to drift or be lost forever or burn up...there is no comparison to travel by aircraft

    ignorant prattle.

    the soviets couldn't analyze the composition of venus, only take pictures on the surface, because the gear would overheat.

    you then talk about untested pie-in-the-sky tech, we *don't* have a way for humans to be on the surface of venus. nor do we have the tech even be in the storm and acid-filled part of the atmosphere that is at 14.7 psi like earth's surface. we won't be doing that in the next century.

    venus is much further away than mars, takes more energy to get there.

    Mars is the rocky planet we can study with surface craft.

    you blather in ignorance. the landers didn't analyze the composition of the surface, only took pictures....and of course they failed in minutes to hours because of surface conditions. sure a great technical achievement given the conditions

    Mars approaches much closer to earth than venus, by factor of 5.

    Analyzing the composition of a rocky planet over long periods of time on place other than earth can only be done on Mars or in certain craters on Mercury near the poles.

    It is not B.S. Companies that can't make money will not survive. Tesla is not making money. Your starry eyed worship of a "genius with world changing ideas" is the B.S.

    Established automakers are working on making an affordable electric car, Tesla makes expensive toys for the wear-the-nails crowd. They are NOT the solution
