I'm trying to recall slashdot's reaction about a decade ago when the courts said that Microsoft couldn't ship their own version of the JRE with windows to run java applications.
I think it was lauded as crushing anti-competitive behavior. How is Google shipping their own custom JRE on phones they control 70% of the market for that different? I mean other than that they won't let you override the install with the Oracle version?
I agree that Oracle can die in a fire, and I will not shed a single tear, but for consistency's sake, is there something different here?
"Unsustainable" in the case of a Mars colony means "you run out of supplies and die when the earth based supplier stops delivering." Part of that is just that self-sustaining human-supporting ecosystems are a hard problem. Your conjecture that it's an impossible problem is hard to validate. Maybe you're right, but how are we supposed to tell that?
I'd disagree, but I'd disagree for reasons that are based on what you said, rather than the fact that you gave a stupid, uniformed conclusion, with no basis alongside it.
So let's do that. Let's talk about why Q>1 isn't a gigantic deal for the tokamaks that are starting to work. They achieve confined fusion with the design, in keeping with the predictions of how the confinement is theoretically supposed to work, and the theoretical models also indicate notpositive is possible. The proponents of the designs suggest that's a mere matter of tuning, testing, and calibration to get the precision of the magnetic fields precise enough.
That's not unreasonable. That doesn't mean it will work out, just that there's no abstract or theoretical limitations known to be an impassible barrier.
Uh, at some point you're supposed to supply a dash of criticality, or your opinion won't rise in the oven, and you'll end up with shitty opinions that annoy everyone.
Stating an arbitrary opinion with no justification or construction as a post just screams "I am bad at thinking" to me.
It was a part of their advanced simulation program that slipped out. This particular feature was designed to simulate what it's like to be a Comcast customer.
You're just making a joke, but it would be quite interesting to see how our minds adapt and become used to this kind of manipulation.
I mean the implication of the research is that you make an unconscious connection between your pulse and the game audio, and fiddling with that audio messes with that connection.
But our brains have powerful feedback mechanisms for adapting when mental predictions fail(not powerful enough, what with confirmation bias and all) and long term, repeated exposure to this sort of thing might hypothetically be a good way to treat anxiety(or amplify it).
Marketers assume that you just got distracted, because at least a couple of percent of people who left the page did.
So your chance of wanting those boots are zero, people who are like you, according to all the metrics the marketers have, are among the most likely to purchase those particular boots.
What I'm saying is marketers are leeches on society.
Because there's always going to be a disproportionate amount of ads delivered for those willing to spend the most money on them. If there's 30,000 users who actually like fast food, and McDonalds pays for 5 million impressions per day, people who don't like McDonalds are going to have some golden arches shoved in their face.
But all-in-all regulatory acceptance has been pretty free of obstacles. They did their first dry runs out in Arizona not too long ago, and had a few things that didn't work yet.
It's almost certainly proximity to all the automotive engineers that made them pick this location. It's only a moderate commute from the suburbs of Detroitus to where this test site is.
You talk about a video to represent the Google portion of your post, but the part about the government is left in nebulous ambiguity. From where do you derive your sentiment?
It's nice to have an actual moderate position about an actual subject. But I meant the people who try to position their opinion between people and their attackers as if that's the middle.
Yeah, and I also get that my condemnation of that seems like I'm being unfair.
But I can't turn that "seems unfair" to an "actually unfair" because I see the exact same kinds of statements condemning a victim(whose only real notability is really being a victim) for imagined or real minor moral failings are used both by those pseudo-moderates and the people actually perpetuating the crimes.
It's hard not to see it as creating an environment that fosters the attacks we see, and so I can't see it as actual unfairness to condemn peoples sense of being morally okay while doing it. Once someone becomes a target of unreasonable hostility, there isn't really any room left to criticize them for minor bullshit.
The irony here being that Plato himself was tremendous elitist. Just look at the main themes extracted from his Cave metaphor, it's almost certainly he would have viewed those carpenters/welders as ignorant savages who don't respect knowledge or the knowledgeable.
The fact is Plato was a simplistic asshole whose only real lasting contribution to philosophy was the notion that philosophy is great and you should all love philosophers, and make them your king.

ITER, on the other hand costs a fucking fortune in comparison. We're talking about multiple orders of magnitude in cost difference.

And reliability, and maintenance costs, and bandwidth costs, and probably things I'm overlooking as an outsider to the jobs.
That's enough to make it a complex system with multiple solutions for local minima.
You're arguing against something besides what I actually said.
"Hey boss, I have a functional proof of concept for something that's supposed to theoretically work"
"Well throw it out! Everyone knows engineering can't improve on existing designs"
But see, that's a much better post.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by being pure evil incarnate, with a seething hatred for all your paying customers.

Advertising only makes genuine economic sense in a world in which my time and attention is nearly worthless.

Pennies on the dollar, sure, but you're underestimating how many dollars went into Detroit in its prime.

Darpa did this a decade ago, google did it 5 years ago, and so did several foreign manufacturers.
I mean, it's a good thing, but it's been more than 30 years since the American Vehicle manufacturing industry was actually on time for a new idea.
It's nice to have an actual moderate position about an actual subject. But I meant the people who try to position their opinion between people and their attackers as if that's the middle.
No, that's not in there at all.
They do make mention of best practices for getting better eyewitness testimony, though.
