  1. Re:We need maps on This Company Is Crowdsourcing Maps For Self-Driving Cars (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    What we call "AI" is BS. There is no such thing. Computers don't "learn" and they never have. They just run programs.

  2. Money grab on Why Is 'Blade Runner' the Title of 'Blade Runner'? (vulture.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    The Blade Runner sequel is just a money grab, like Prometheus. It is used to setup multiple sequels for the franchise. People who are saying it was an amazing movie are delusional.

  3. Re:Not buying it at all. ***SPOILERS*** on 'Blade Runner 2049' Isn't the Movie Denis Villeneuve Wanted to Make (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You have to understand the sole reason of this movie was so that they could create four more sequels. Even Ridley Scott admitted it. That is why there were pointless characters - they will be in the sequels in more prominent roles.

  4. Blade Runner 2049 is like Prometheus in the respect that it was created so there can be sequels. It is a money grab. That being said, I liked it, but it was a poor imitation of the original. People who are saying it is a "masterpiece" are delusional.

  5. 100% correct. Most of your data is going through someone else's servers if you are using the Internet. How do people think things work? Magical fairy dust?

  6. Re:Evil Spell checker on PSA: Microsoft Is Using Cortana To Read Your Private Skype Conversations (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless your "spell checker" is open source and your OS is too, you don't know how it works.

  7. If you run closed source software you don't own your machine either.

  8. Compuers are not secure on PSA: Microsoft Is Using Cortana To Read Your Private Skype Conversations (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are you discussing "secret" stuff on a non-secret network? The Internet is not a secure network and your computer is not secure either. Stupid.

  9. Re:"Apps"? on Microsoft Exec Says Windows 10 Mobile is No Longer a 'Focus' (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What are you talking about? Even if you were being honest and never ever used apps you would make up about 0.00001% of smartphone users.

  10. Re:The most stupid title. on The World's Oldest Scientific Satellite is Still in Orbit (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Sputnik wasn't a scientific satellite.

  11. I also can do this through the use of host files.

    I fired him once I found out he didn't know how to write VB macros.

  13. I got a new job? When was this?

    Wow. He knew how to use Excel pivot tables AND how to write Emacs macros? Truly a genius.

  15. I already make $50,000 working IT in Silicon Valley. Why would I want to move to Beijing?

  16. Re:I agree - moon first on Vice President Pence Vows US Astronauts Will Return To the Moon (engadget.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Space nutter detected. The idea of a floating cloud city on Venus is preposterous. You space nutters always are fixated on the details (using ammonia vs water vs hydrogen), and ignore the big problems. How are you going to get people to Venus? What about radiation, food, water, etc. I'm sure you will have an answer for those too ("just shield the craft using asteroid dust"). Christ.

  17. Re:Where's the limit with Uber on iOS? on Uber's iOS App Had Secret Permissions That Allowed It to Copy Your Phone Screen, Researchers Say (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Gee I wonder why? Could it be that Uber is a top 20 app for iOS? What makes you think Apple cares about your privacy? You don't think they are logging what you do?

  18. They could be clueless to non-verbal indicators. That is what makes us humans and not stupid "AI assistants". This isn't even "AI". It is just a database hooked up to a voice synthesizer. Christ. This "AI" BS needs to stop.

  19. Bummer. I was earning $50,000 a year in Silicon Valley working on this as my project. What am I supposed to do now for a job?

    I don't know who is fretting over it (maybe you?). I was just answering a question.

    There isn't an app for it. You just need to compile it from git. There are videos on YouTube that demonstrate it.
