I hear people all the time complain about not being able to connect to sftp servers from their phones. I once saw some teenager freak out because she wasn't able to sftp! Mass hysteria ensued that day and many lives were lost.
These celebrity scientists are annoying. More proof that just because someone calls themselves a "scientist" doesn't mean they know jack shit about anything.
I am a Prime member and I can conclusively say it isn't worth the $100. Take a look at the movies/music available for Prime streaming: utter garbage. Also, not having to see "Birdman" is a bonus in my book.
But don't worry kids: drugs are cool. Its just a matter of personal choice right? You can quit anytime, right? Don't need no gubmint telling ME what to do!
No it isn't a "matter of time". People think that computers are going to get more and more powerful. They won't. In fact, computers today are hardly faster than the ones five years ago. And "quantum computers" have nothing to do with AI. You guys watch way too much sci-fi.
I hate to break it to you: but what you are saying is gibberish. There likely will never be AI. Definitely not with digital computers. We cannot achieve the processing rates required.
The reason the 5 year old computer is "just fine" is because the party is over: microprocessors are not getting faster at the rate they once were. The 5 year old computer is within an order of magnitude of power as todays computers. People expect computers to get faster and faster, but they aren't at the rate we have been used to. We are hitting physical limits of digital chip technology. This means that things like AI and "the singularity" that slashdotters dream of will likely never happen, unless we come up with a totally new way of computing. And don't say "quantum computing" either. Quantum computers are currently snakeoil, and even when they come into existence they will be only useful for a narrow set of problems.

You mean the taxpayers of the countries funding it. After all, not only scientists were paying for it out of their taxes.

Most likely it is a programming/database problem. The site is slowing breaking down as the people who wrote the code have moved on.

I've been saying this for years but no one ever listens to me.
She didn't die from drugs either. Perfectly normal.
LOL. You are kidding right? Yeah right, Prince didn't use drugs. WTF.

100% correct. Probably the most insightful post I have seen in a long time. Much more insightful than mine.

No he isn't. You people can't even read. I just said the opposite: the new computers you are getting "at work" aren't "faster".
Heh. Yes, it did. You said "I'm not sure I agree that computer speed has flattened". I never said that computer speed has flattened. Christ.
He isn't doing anything different. There are a million wackjobs out there that experiment with diets and pills.
What about 3d printing? And drones? It just proves that upgrading is important!!! You can't get on the Cloud with last years 3d printed drone!

No, I didn't bother because the first line indicates you didn't understand what I said.
I didn't say it flattened out. Reread my post.

One thing I have noticed is that hipsters love these standing desks. Probably because they can't sit down in their skinny jeans.
If you are concerned about the environment then why are you using the Internet for frivolity? It is one of the biggest users of electricity out there.
Too bad you were modded down to oblivion by the space nutters. You are likely 100% correct.
Transsexual fish are just as normal and valid as non-transsexual fish. You act like transexualism is a disease.
You must be kidding. AWS and Azure revenue is going through the roof. Ciscos revenue is at an all time high.
