But it's worth repeating in this context. Thankfully, it wasn't me.
When I worked at a KC bank, we had a Wire Transfer team manager who loved golf. He was supposed to come in Saturday and test a firmware/OS upgrade, then restore. Nice, sunny day Saturday, so he decided golfing would be better.
Came in Sunday. Installed firmware/OS upgrade. Tested fine. Forgot to reinstall previous firmware and powered up old OS. Incompatible. Froze the machine solid. He panicked and tried for maybe four hours to fix things himself. No go. Finally called Cupertino for help 4+ PM.
The techs had to be found, gathered and flown out from CA to disassemble said machine and reassemble. No wires until 1 or 2 PM Monday. Much money loss for all customers.
To answer the obvious question, no - beyond my understanding, he wasn't fired or even demoted.
"Give a woman a child" - You're an asshole. A rational man doesn't give his wife a child, they share one. My daughter was the best thing that ever happened to me and I don't regret any 'inconvenience'. I pity any partner you end up with because you obviously only see them as that wallet you referred to.
(or at a more advanced level, are programming a computer to learn how to learn things)
That is pure hope as well as circular. I don't think he's dismissing the concept so much as dismissing the current field operatives as being anywhere near as far along as they promote themselves to be. He's doing it with a heavy dollop of derision, but I'm seeing that from the opposite side as well.

I read nothing in that article describing 'how' other than hypothetical. It was obvious from the gp that "idea how" referred to knowledge of actual functioning.
Might you then explain to us how a neuron weighs the incoming signals and decides which axons to direct its outgoing signals to?
I know you gave yourself a caveat with "large scale", but those large scales don't really cut it for understanding how the brain fundamentally works, and in order to replicate its functioning in code (develop actual artificial intelligence), we will need to understand that. Add in how the effects of the various chemical baths it is subjected to modify cellular functioning and the prospect is even muddier. (That 'testy' lashing out allusion.)
We don't simply need to know what areas do what and a vague knowledge of how they interact, we need to understand in enough detail what it is they are doing at all levels for us to translate that into a hairily complex software system . A system quite a bit more hairy than one using a movie script database would or could be.
I'd put money on the programmers having coded in a limit (possible variable) on the number of times a specific line of inquiry could be asked before that rather canned response was generated.
Writing software which was then mostly run in house on data stored in house. Smarter banks had teams that did the installation and maintenance in house as well. In the banks I spent those same decades you mention contracting for, they rented their wire transfer software (which I worked on) and we had complete access to the source code and managed the compilations and never once did the financial data leave bank systems for storage. Even the backup machinery was bank owned. Hell, when it was still being used, even the microfiching was in house.
False comparison as moving data to the cloud does not reduce or eliminate the risk you mention. Adding new security risks isn't the brightest thing to do.
Does "properly" define out as "what I think"? And "blame"? Is that just code for "what I don't want"?
Children are a log more fluid than one view and unless they are actually damaging their child, it's no concern of others. And no, catering to their daughter's penchant for pink is not damaging, nor is buying them pink to begin with.
Kudos to your mom. Seriously. She's exceptional and that's the point - she *is* exceptional. Those doing the complaining are not. They aren't being held down, they simply aren't being given the gratis they feel they deserve. Again, kudos.
I live in farming country. It's nowhere near 50/50 for field or larger stock work.
Ancient societies didn't have large farms as we know them, so your comparison is pretty short. The men needed to go out and hunt for the meat, the more dangerous of the two tasks.
MAY have an efficacy. Mostly not though. Also, many of those products claim to have certain ingredients - ginko, for example - and have been found to simply contain ground up random trash plants. Some have been found with Jimson. Not exactly confidence inducing, eh?
You: Hello. My project is using your project to achieve goal X, and we noticed that you are doing Y which causes problems for our task and probably others too. Y does not seem to work properly. We cannot make progress until this issue is resolved. Perhaps a better way to do things would be Z, but I didn't see any discussion of it in your documents - have you considered that approach before?
1) "and probably others too" - You have just shown that you are going to make spurious assumptions in an attempt to coerce.
2) "Y does not seem to work properly" - You have just shown that you are going to make unsupported accusations in an attempt to coerce.
3) "We cannot make progress until" - ransom.
4) "Perhaps a better way... have you considered that approach before?" - Ill concealed condescension mixed with presumed superiority.
You follow a perfectly civil response that they will look into it with an immediate "Me: Thanks for the response. Do you have any timeline or near time plans to resolve the issue? We cannot make progress on our task until your team resolves this issue." - harassment and veiled threat to hold them responsible even though you failed to document *actual* shortcomings with Y.
Note the false civility lead-in.
Mind you, I can't make a determination on the technical aspects of your exchange because you didn't provide them. I'm just fisking your approach.
Look deeper into the issue. You failed to spot the real problem.
SJW's do not claim to be victims. They claim to champion victims even when said victims say they don't need it. Besides, the parent didn't claim any victimhood, just made observations.

Three to four days, like always. I send stuff all the time.

Don't do it in the first place. Not like it's hard to avoid.
Oh bull. Therapy is a throw away thing today. The stigmata evaporated along about the '80s.

Let's simply do a change up on a few words and query as to how the brain stores concepts and can compare, contrast and combine them. .

Don't project your distaste for shots of yourself onto others. They may not have the same hangups or fixations.
What in hell were you doing wrong to yield reinstalls twice a year? I've had my machine running for five now and no reinstalls.
For the entire route? Don't think so. Please provide a link of any nature to support that view.
You forgot salesmen, which is probably the biggest block of promoters of these fads.

You just saw the extent of his evidence.
As well as in your imagination.

"placebo has an efficacy itself."

Yep. The pettiness of this becomes more apparent when you consider the limited audience * royalties involved.

Excellent example. Perfect use of hyperbole. Well done.
