the rest of the community need not align with hateful propaganda.
I most sincerely hope they do not. But know that those who look too earnestly for hatred, will find hatred everywhere -- much of it directed at themselves.
Actually, he's probably making that prediction because of the expected universal appeal of my next game. It's a virtual reality game where you go on an epic quest to save the world economy by beating the crap out of Goldman Sachs bankers.
No longer will they be seen as sex objects, not when sexier, more compliant, and more attractive robots take their place.
FTFY
I'm quite certain the more advanced models will be fully capable of playing hard to get, including a lack of any cheat code or override. Because some people need the challenge.
Basically, it is the same sort of thing that has been done in medicine for ages -- use a cheaper test with a high rate of false positive, but low rate of false negative, and verify the (few) positives with a more expensive and reliable test.
Students of every science have been stymied by inability to access scientific papers. Even the ones in a university which paid $BIGNUM for access to a hundred journals, they still constantly find papers they can't read.
I, for one, am fully in support of sexbots and the unrivaled equality they will bring. No longer will women have to suffer unwanted attention in the form of unsolicited/undeserved gifts, promotions, or other forms of discrimination. No longer will they be seen as sex objects, not when sexier and more attractive robots take their place.
Yes, imagine that, consumers choosing to not buy a company's services or products due to the unethical behavior of a company. But hey, they means people would have to think and act responsibly, which is apparently not in fashion.
It's hard enough to shop for products based on their quality (an unobscurable, measurable property), hardly anyone ever does and certainly not for most products they buy. Now imagine people also looking up a company's ethics, including when hidden behind all kinds of other companies. (most people don't even realize that the same company produces multiple different brand names).
Yeah, generally when someone is held captive and threatened with 50 years of torture, then for mysterious reasons decides to commit suicide, it's not like the people holding him captive and threatening to torture him for 50 years are at all responsible.
"Kilowatts per hour" doesn't make any sense at all.
Sure it does. It measures an increase in power generation -- for example, how quickly a cold plant can power up/shut down, or how quickly new power plants are being built. A solar photovoltaic plant would gain many kilowatts per hour from dawn to late morning, then a few more until midday, then it would start losing kilowatts per hour until at night it produces zero watts.
Only if those extremists weren't following Jesus' teaching. But for sure, Jesus would condemn Christian moderates, because they behave exactly like non-believers who are half-heartedly pretending to be His followers.
In this case, the only reason that the picture isn't treated as hardcore pornography is because it was drawn by a famous artist a long time ago. Which, if you think about it, who drew a picture and when they drew it have basically nothing to do with what a picture is.
My previously favorite GPS app got totally crapified. Now it shows ads, crashes, and eliminated its Google search feature in favor of its "can't even find an address" search. What's up with that?
But even so it's still a map that knows where I am and can be zoomed. I can't imagine the monstrosity that a paper map of the entire state down to the smallest street would be.
You shouldn't claim snide technicalities based on intentional misunderstanding to make yourself look smarter, unless you know what you're talking about or want to be taken down a notch.
No Congress can pass a law that a subsequent Congress can't repeal. There is no such thing as "permanent."
Sure they can. With a two-thirds majority in each house, they could pass a joint resolution for a Constitutional amendment abolishing Congress. Once they do that, it's out of their hands -- they can't repeal it, even if it hasn't yet been ratified by the states. And if ratified, any other laws Congress already passed wouldn't be able to be repealed by a subsequent Congress.
They could also accomplish something similar without outside approval, by sufficiently messing up their Rules of Proceedings.
To date, everything they've ever tested says that the theory of relativity, as far as we've been able to investigate, hasn't shown any cracks.
That's not quite right.
I'm pretty sure it is exactly right.
- GR breaks down when you go to quantum levels
Which we've been unable to observe/investigate. Maybe it's quantum mechanics that breaks down when it comes to gravity.
- GR does not fully describe black holes (particularly their horizon and the singularity)
As far as we know, GR exactly describes the event horizon and singularity. It's just that those are suspicious/surprising features. The singularity is especially suspicious, but then if the event horizon works as described, the singularity is unobservable (at least without dying unable to tell anyone about it, similar to heaven/hell).
- GR is incomplete with regards to explaining the expansion of the universe (the discrepancy is called Dark Energy)
That discrepancy is also called Einstein's 1917 cosmological constant, from his theory of relativity.
Mind you, it could very well be that in reality GR is full of holes. However, we haven't actually found any. Also, you forgot to mention Dark Matter, which could very well be a flaw in GR, instead of some kind of mystery particle -- but then again, it could be a type of particle.

And when people have nothing to do but have babies and we end up with 50 billion people?
It's rumored sexbots will have a *very* low rate of unwanted pregnancy.

This sort of thing is happening at too high a frequency.

I bet you also feel entitled to prevent others from reading books.
Now wait for someone to argue that open access to scientific papers does not advance the progress of science.

But an even larger percentage believe in some kind of dog.

Who was killed over Piss Christ?
NO ONE.
Now, imagine if that "art" project had been tried when Christianity was the same age as Islam is now.
Most purchases are not debts.
"How much do I owe?"
Maybe slashdot should implement a "preview" button for editors too!
They don't need one, they have an "edit" button.
Incidentally, if they ever add an "edit" button for comments, you can expect comments to deteriorate to the same lack of quality as stories.

Don't forget to show how the events have the same order in all reference frames, not just one.
The only one that matters is the one where the original message originates.
Events happen in all reference frames. The message is sent from all reference frames.
