    He should have named himself Daikatana and drawn up false birth certificates showing his father to be John Romero.

    Supply and demand. Well really, just demand and the ability to make new add-ons that people want to buy. If people want to dab or wear a fish in a bowl as a head, that's what they will do and they will pay a pretty penny for it as well. I haven't paid any money on the battle royale side. I did buy the campaign single player/co-op game.

    I'm not sure that he actually thinks the "left field" comments are supposed to be considered ridiculous and thought of as absurd. I think it's more the propaganda technique of telling one truth followed by two lies.

    It was definitely a low point on the show unless you have TDS in which case it was probably cathartic.

    It's not but the SJW John Oliver cult has taken over the comment section.

    John Oliver tends to yell a lot, disparage people, insult them, avoid rational discussion of the issues and conflate complicated issues by reducing them to the point of uselessness. Every once in a while, he has his writers research some obscure topic, then has a TAKE on that topic. The problem is he always has a TAKE that is extremely one-sided and he will ridicule anyone who disagrees with him. The best example of this is when he gave his audience an opener line, they cheered, and then he informed them that they should be mad about the thing he just said. It was probably the only time I ever laughed watching that show.

    He addresses a real, actual issue on every show.

    Only one? Sounds about right. The rest are made up faux outrage..

    John Oliver is great at attacking straw men. It's basically his shtick. He isn't funny and he actually encouraged Trump to run for office, only to regret it later. I say all this to make the point that we do need to protect free speech and Oliver should be able to say whatever he wants, but it's going to take a show with more than just a cult following to enable change in China.

    These are just buzzwords and their meaning is evolving. The latest distinction between machine learning and AI that I saw is that we let AI make decisions based on it's training. In other words, AI is just ML with the handcuffs taken off. Within either, you still have directed or non-directed training.

    This is how Circuit City went out of business. They laid off all their higher paid sales people. Those people also happened to account for most of the sales.

  24. Well, this is what you get when you take a complex situation and try to simplify it too much. Younger workers are useful in some jobs. In others, their lack of experience plays against them. Do you really want a bunch of recent college grads designing complex electrical distribution circuits straight out of college? They wouldn't even understand the systems where they were supposed to get the inputs into the processes through which the design process would start. That experience isn't useless. Sure, they could figure it out but it would take them a lot longer.
