All but the last sentence. They are not self-directing at all. This wouldn't include self-driving cars either because they don't come up with their destinations. Yeah, yeah, you shop for your wife sometimes, but you know what was meant and cars lack that. You might **possibly** eke out a comparison betwixt them and the most simple of virises, but it would still be strained. Self-replication is however, the lynchpin.
Utter horse shit. Saudi Arabia **sanctions** the killing of homosexuals, "wrong" thinkers and witches. Get that, the state sanctions those killings. Your statement is moronic at face.
All consumers are also products somewhere along the line. Without the services Google offers, there would be no users. Without the users, there would be no product to advertisers. You're definition is shallow.
Bullshit. I know plenty of smokers who know it's bad for them. "To the best of their knowledge" only applies to humans and it fails.
Animals will also fall into habits that are not optimum, like getting drunk on overripe persimmons. The "knowledge" here is the survival of non-drunk members when the jaguar shows up.
Add to that, many of those "researchers" have little actual knowledge about the animals involved, only focusing on the traits that appeal to their line of investigation. This is most easily spotted when they cross genus - hell, cross Order - boundaries to make comparisons. Birds and insects do not share the same drives, for instance.
Parents remove their kids from crappy schools, schools don't become crappy after they leave. Your entire point seems to be that parents who care about their child's future should just "man up" and let the crapfest of a local school destroy their child's future under the long disproved assumption that the dollars they drag along in fed support will improve the crap they study under.
Base line: force the parents to stay so we can keep bucks instead of improve ourselves so they want to stay.
Oh, by the way, public schools rarely, if ever, have shop and specialized voc classes any more. Long, long gone - and at the behest of teacher's unions.
Pablum like conjecture. How about raising them to be self-sufficient instead? If it's a "passion", they will continue to pursue it without needing fostering.
Not rote memorization **alone**. I can still recite the multiplication tables up to 12 with no real thought. In no way did this prevent me from understand multiplication. Rote has its place.
"always held true education back". That is a bullshit phrase that has no proof at all.
On the other hand, developers who attempt to consume all the space they "need" find their apps looking like mesquite in a desert. There's a logical limit to most everything.
Of course it is. They want to "improve" their product and don't want to create/maintain backwards compatibility. That is by definition their making their lives easier. It's about not pissing away their time? I'm concerned about their pissed off time why? I'm no more concerned about their lost time then the are about mine.
If my app is working, I don't want it to break. That's me making my life easier. If the devs force a change and it breaks my app, I will reinstall the prior version and seriously look into alternatives. It's sometimes about as easy to convert.
If a dev wants to continually modify their language and compiler I certainly hope they will enjoy using it. I will not.
And, just as Milgram found out, virtually everybody goes ahead and does horrific things in such circumstances.
No. He found out that people would do the horrific thing in the abstract. This proves not one thing about how they would react in reality. Some will, some won't. We have historic examples to prove that. Anyone who thinks his subjects didn't know it was an experiment is a fool.
That was either incredibly well done satire, nicely hidden irony or you actually base your conclusions on science fiction TV, thereby invalidating said conclusions. Hard to tell.
Your point is good and I have a previous post in this topic agreeing with you. I would point out here that you should be aiming your convictions at the environmentalists, not business. They are the ones pulling very hard on the reins of progress and without that, we *cannot* take those practices off-planet.
Look at them this way, their "economics" simply replaces currency and goods with their personal wonderment and almost religious zeal for natural "purity". So, like some (not all) CEOs, anything that increases their bottom line is good. Anyone thinking that doesn't happen should speak with a former founder of Green Peace.
Both sides should and need to exist. They need to keep the other side in line and promote their own ideas. But they also need to recognize that the other side has valid concerns. Many on both sides have a problem with that last bit.

when public opinion (or popularity) in science changes, it is due to evidence
You mean like string theory?

And they will scrape up that small percentage who don't find it annoying. The rest shall fly in peace.

It is irrelevant to consider a past criminal record.
Not at all true. It happens all the time with career criminals, which this guy is.

The basic assumption is bogus.

You are the most knee-jerk racist hiding in a "liberal" sheep's coat that I've ever read comment here.
Neither does making an inane, unsupported aspersion. It was a stupid statement.
"almost as much of an embarrassment"
You would have done better with the technologies at hand at the time how?
So, knowing the geographic and political boundaries working today is a waste of time?

Depends on the age level you want to teach it at.
Unless you ask certain people.
"rote memorization 'geniuses' (the majority)"
Bullshit. You pulled that right out of your butt.
"at that point we will become a stronger nation."

You can not belive all you want, Watson will believe.
Its not about making developer's lives easier.

Drop the FUD. I haven't seen a blue screen in years.
Back away from the ethanol, it's fueling delusions in you.
