I don't see why the average person cares about "counterfeiters". I buy stuff some Alibaba that most people would consider "counterfeit", but who cares if it is? It is the same quality as the "real" product and is typically run on the same production lines, but costs 10% of what the "real" product is. Considering we have exploding phones from some of the largest companies in the world (Samsung) and $100 shirts that fall apart in a few months, you can't really argue that the "real" stuff is better quality.
I'm not sure why this is modded down, but it is 100% correct. Most Space Nutters get their "knowledge" from scifi, not reality. The reality is that engineering is tough, very tough. I am not talking about programming either. Anyone who has engineered anything even moderately complex knows we are not going to be living on Mars.
Although people like Al Gore like to fly around in business jets, it is doubtful they have much impact on CO2 emissions compared to your typical plebeian driving his car to work every day. You might as well also complain about people like Al Gore, who have four vacation homes.
This is 100% correct. Apple knows Moore's Law is ending and the upgrade train is over. There will be no reason in 5 years to update the laptop you are using today....because there won't be any appreciable differences in speed.
Oh God, just shut up about paid trolls already. No one is getting paid to post to SLASHDOT. Barely anyone reads slashdot. Certainly not people who make policy.
Wow. Someone is stupid and that someone is you. His point is that the data is already PUBLIC, it is POSTED ON TWITTER. So why make it harder for them to get to the data? They are going to get it no matter what. The difference is that one method is presumably more expensive than another.
It is the ESPN tax. ESPN takes your money, and pays hundreds of millions in rights fees for sporting events. That is why the average NBA salary is $5.1 million a year. Oh, plus the taxpayers are on the hook for building the stadiums.
I have a hard time believing that anyone thinks that any network is anonymous. Here is a hint: it ain't. If a network was anonymous it wouldn't be able to route data.
Exactly. But he meant to say "deep learning" instead of "machine learning". No really, its not just a Python script that counts up the number of citations! It is AI, dammit!

...I get 1Gbps at $60 per month. I guess I am lucky to live in such a city with such a good city council that implemented the Director Rules properly.

Isn't a MacBook pro $2400-$2800???? You can do a Paris vacation on that. That is insane to spend that much money on a laptop in 2017.
I desoldered mine and replaced it with a larger SSD. So far so goo
The only spec that matters is how many daughters can it film sunbathing in backyards? Isn't that what drones are mostly used for?

There is a big difference between Facegram and Twitterchat, old man!
He is so old he thinks that the most recent generation still uses Twitter and Facebook. Everyone knows they use Snapchat and Instagram.
Yeah right. "One of the largest trade publishers"? This ain't 1996.
This is on Google. They need to get a grip on Android.

5 years and only a 130% improvement in graphics processing. Moore's Law is dead.
Because I am in my impenetrable Safe Space! And you just got triggered!
This is the UK, not the USA. They are nuts over there.
What a joke. US farmers are some of the biggest welfare queens on the planet. No one is dragging 80 pound milk cans of water by hand.
...I have been bullied on Slashdot many many times! But never again! I won't allow it.

What a joke. The corporations have been "spying" on you for decades and you never gave a shit then. Why start now?

Let us just say we saw you type this, and the drone is on its way.
