Bullshit. A well developed AI can be just as much a artist as any organic critter can. Now Mr philosopher put you hat back on. You have people at the counter to take orders for. Repeat after me, "Would you like fries that that?"
I'm sure there are some valid uses for the camera. Just not in this case. Here is probably what happened. Some engineer looked down a catalog for a part that he need, in vast quantities he needed. He come across a standard lcd screen and it just happened to have a camera on it. There you go, no conspiracy theory here.
ot it, you think children(who cannot choose their parents) should die for the sins of the father (or mother).
Children can't choose their parents but as a society we can choose who can be parents. It might be time we started thinking about that. We remove children from unfit parents every day for the health and safety of the child. I don't see any reason that we should treat this group of nut balls any different.
I agree. They keep pilling on bullshit like this. Every time one of them says something stupid is destroying the planet just makes them look foolish and people stop taking the issue seriously. One week it was cow farts now its streaming music.
Has nothing to do with anything. Retina is just a buzz word for good display. My samsung 28" UHD has just as good color contrast as any thing apple put out. My 3+ year old Asus android tablet has a beautiful display. I have had iphone owners look at the amoled display on my Galaxy S8 and tell me they wished their iPhone looked that good.
We did. I was the one that set up the service agreement with them. Apple didn't have such agreement or didn't want to make one with us. Which is probably why there are far more Dell in the work place than Apples. Which is pretty stupid for Apple.
So I find that Dell equipment is just as reliable as Apple, if not more. There are more Dell failures in the field simply because there are 10 Dells for every Apple. Give or take. Dell more than makes up for these failures by having a fair superior service system than Apple. I've never seen a apple "genius" leave the bar but I have talked to a number of dell technicians on site.
I have to agree. I've been using dell for personal and professional equipment for more than a decade. I've never had any problems with dell support. On the professional side, shit just works, and when it doesn't they send someone out to make it work. Personal, I've had to send back a laptop for service. It was "yes sir, we'll get this fixed for you" and that was it. It was fixed and back in my hands in a week.
Yeah. I had a dell laptop got tits up on me. Dell sent a technician to my office with a brand new laptop. He pulled the drive out of my old one, and put it in the new one.
Meanwhile the apple in another department died. It had to be taken down to the "genus" bar where one of the "geniuses" wanted to charge him a "copy" fee to move his shit from the old one to the new one. The hard ware was covered but the data transfer wasn't.
Why would you buy over priced apple hardware just to install linux on it? There are any number of ryzen, or even intel, based laptops for half the price with better or greater performance. An these laptops tend to be a lot more penguin friendly. No weird apple shit to deal with.
Boo fucking hoo. we lost the election boo hooo. well we won the popular vote. No we didn't win that ether. whine whine whine ⦠Well he is a trader. Oh no. the evidence says he isn't, time to cry some more.
Poor little liberal idiot. Can stand reality so you make up your own bullshit.
Who cares about punishing the parents? I'm talking about removing a child from unfit parents. Some of the diseases we can vaccinate against can cripple a child for life, polio, or kill it. This can be prevented with a simple vaccination. We are doing nothing more than removing children from unfit parents.
Actually, I think it depends on the market. The basic knowledge that a child needs in a developing country can usually fit in one text book. That is math, read/writing, basic science, and history. This text book can be printed on waterproof paper and can last for decades.
In modern schools the text book has gone obsolete. I remember roaming the halls in high school and college with pounds of fat ass books on my back. Right now on my desk I have whole classes of books on my android tablet. It weights 1/2 pound, maybe.
Well the anti-vax people scream that it's their right not to vaccinate their spawn. Our mistake is we continue to pretend their rights matter. We remove children from unfit parents every day. I see no reason that this shouldn't be another reason to do so.
The feeling I have heard this bullshit before. Oh wait, I have. When I was growing up and we didn't have realistic video games. We had our imagination and AD&D. Same class of fools thought we where all going to turn into axe murdering psychopaths. Another class of fools thought we had sold our souls to satan.
Well been playing table top rollplaying games for 35 years. I've yet to go on an axe based killing spree. Come to think of it I can't recall anyone I know doing it ether.
Right. Carry some cash. Got it. I'm about to start doing some work for a company. I'll be flying out of Sanfran to Tokyo a few times a year and a couple of times to SK. I'll be flying out on U.S. based airlines so I'm kind of not looking forward to the hell involved. My flights will be on the company dime and the way that usually works out they would ship my ass baggage class if that was an option.
I'm dreading these flights so much I'm actually thinking about looking my ex-wife and seeing if I can borrow her broom.
I hate flying on a 737. Love the design, but hate flying on one. It seems like every time I got on one they had run test models to see how far up my ass they could get the persons feet behind me. The 757 wasn't much better. The best plane I think I have been on was the 767. They has so much room even the airlines hadn't figured out how to fuck it up.
I really don't see why we even have the debate. To me there is room and reasons for both maned and bot. We get more bang for buck with bots on narrow focused missions. But on a general mission we get a lot more data from human scientist that are actually there on the ground. That is because a human can make and adjust plans on the fly.
Lets do a example out of a story I once read. If opportunity had rolled up on a patch of land and found a set of tracks, how far could opportunity follow those tracks? A human team could do so immediately.
I don't count the danger in sending humans to mars, or anywhere in space. They are volunteers, they know the danger and choose to go anyway.
No we don't We actually do most of the science that is proving it is a issue. If it wasn't for NASA research in Antarctica and from space we wouldn't never have known about the Ozone issue with CFC till it was to late. It is only small, but loud, minority that denies the issue.
I'm not sure why this post made me think of this series of books by Alastair Reynolds, Poseidon's Children. One of the subplots is after decades of sending smarter an smarter robots to Mars. At one point the robots said "fuck it" and calmed Mars as their own.
The books are good reads but honestly after reading the books I was more interested in the story of the robots on Mars than the main plot.

First thing that went through my head when I saw the head line.

Of all his dumb ideals this is the one I want to succeed the most.
Retina screens.

My 3+ year old Asus android tablet has a beautiful display. I have had iphone owners look at the amoled display on my Galaxy S8 and tell me they wished their iPhone looked that good.
Retina display is nothing more than market hype.

My understanding is the problem is there is no linux driver for the apple SSD. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/sh...

Poor little liberal idiot. Can stand reality so you make up your own bullshit.
And it was different. You lost your doctor, your insurance rates more than doubled, and you got shit to replace it. See, different.
Let me correct the thinking in the title here. "Yes I can. No it isn't." There we go.

Same bullshit, different bunch of fools
Thanks. I'll look into that when it starts happening.
