You cant spends 25 hours daily checking security... you may as well turn it off.
This is the attitude that really messes things up. "We can't be perfect.....why bother?"
The proper security attitude should be, "Maybe we can't be perfect......but we can be pretty good." And sometimes you can be perfect (like you can perfectly avoid SQL injection attacks. That is something that can be done).
That's not really true.....If someone says, "I talked to God" that is evidence God exists. In most cases we've examined, it turned out to not be particularly convincing evidence. Sometimes (for example in the case of Joan of Arc) the evidence is strong enough that if it were about any other topic, we would consider it settled. Now, you might answer "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," and "even if Joan of Arc saw God or visions, that doesn't mean the pastor down the road is correct. And these are correct statements, I agree with you. But to say there is no evidence at all is wrong.
Most of the bots post text that was written by a human. Even if it has some kind of text generation capability, it's usually heavily pre-programmed with knowledge by a human.
Since the Fed is currently trying to nudge inflation up
Guessing what the fed is trying to do is an art, but they are trying to keep inflation down. They raised the target inflation recently, which is basically an admission that they are having trouble controlling it.
You're arguing from a perspective of
I'm not arguing, I'm kindly instructing, you fool.
and absolutely not true historically. In the United States, we have had a rapidly growing money supply, based entirely on the Fed printing money, and it has not led to inflation.
You're dumb as a brick. If you had actually talked to a student of economics (and a good student in economics 101 would know it, this is really basic stuff and you are ignorant), they would have told you that MV=PQ. In other words, the velocity of money matters just as much as the total money supply. If the money supply increases and people act the same (ie, velocity and total goods doesn't change), then there will be inflation. This is empirically demonstrated, through a lot of historical examples, which you conveniently ignore.
Why has there not been any inflation in the United States? Because the velocity of money went down at the same time (in other words, the printed money went straight to the banks and the banks kept it).
I hit you over the head with knowledge, but don't worry, you'll probably shake it off, pretend it didn't happen, and remain ignorant. Stop getting your knowledge from crappy blogs and read a good book
I used to use Google News, but eventually I realized most news is superfluous. Ignoring 98% of the Kavanaugh news was the second-best decision I made this month.
I'll bet most people now get their news from Facebook, though.
And indeed the physical structure of everything in a computer is an array of memory (at least, the logical structure). And yet that doesn't get us any closer to the answer of how memories are stored and retrieved.
30 years ago, we thought that if a machine could pass the Turing test we'd call it intelligent.
Well, that happened. Bots now routinely pass that test.
Bots don't pass the Turing test. Every time that happens, look at the details and you'll see that the experiment is done poorly. One common technique is to have the tester guess whether they are talking to a human or a computer: but the human uses limited responses, acting somewhat like a computer.
The biggest question IMO is "how are memories stored in the human mind?" It is an important question because the way things are stored changes the kind of algorithms that can be efficiently used (a hash table allows quick access but slow sorting, unlike a tree, for example).

I think my CoC is going to say "no humor impaired people."
It's all underrated. (Except the stuff I believe in, of course)
I think you underestimate how convoluted most people's process automation setups really are.

Your words are harsh and insulting but I don't say inappropriate.
This is why "keeping your patches up to date" is not enough. The problem is not enough focus on security by developers.
What you say is all true, but it doesn't change the fact that witnesses are evidence.
Witnesses are pretty clearly evidence. You don't want it to be, but you aren't thinking clearly.

That is truly the most depressing thing I read today.
the biggest existential threat that faces humanity ?
Really?
How are we going to justify ignoring science and instead trust the spin of the industry this time?
If you're trusting anyone, you're not doing science.
A million books on the subject, and a pity you haven't read any one of them.

Tech suffers from a lack of tech skill. The security problems in Firefox are a prime example.
That's all pretty vague. There are lots of different types of neurons, too
Different people get their news in different ways
I used to use Google News, but eventually I realized most news is superfluous. Ignoring 98% of the Kavanaugh news was the second-best decision I made this month.

How do you people parse news across the web?
I don't.

"Hundreds of accounts" is utterly meaningless. It's a rounding error, a wave in an ocean of fake accounts. No one will even notice a difference.

Look, Oracle is out to make money, no more, no less. If FOSS helps, they will support it,
If FOSS helps Oracle make money, then Oracle will try to find a way to possess it. I say that based on their history.
