FTFY: Why would they? Some People slurp up the 'newest' macbook before it even properly leaves the anus, Apple has no incentive. Some other users are still waiting for a revamped 17" or even 18" MacBook Pro, and perhaps finally some MacBooks (pro or not) that have a touch screen. Actually a 17" sized laptop with a smaller frame around the screen would probably be enoug.
And you are the most insulting person on/. Anyway, we obviously have a mutual agreement that none of us has any clue about software development and security:)
At least I have a proven track record of software in production that has so far no bug reports, from customers or users. How about you?
Since men where the primary hunters, with women tending to do more gathering Actually, while it is somewhat 'common sense', we absolutely have no evidence for that.
Well, I can attest that men and women are the same first handed. The penis of my GF however is extrmely tiny, but I love it. And for some obscure reaons she gained some fat around her nipples, I hardly can give a good massage to her chest muscles. But alas, I lover her anyway!
Well, you seem not to know much about women:) Fertile age range, 14 - 50 (simplified), 28 cycle, makes 13 cycles per year. 36 * 13 yields 468, so lets say: 500 eggs. On the other hand, we have new research indicating that the old idea that a woman is born with a fixed amount of eggs is wrong..they get recreated just like sperm, but at a different speed/rate.
Yeah, I gogoled forr it beforee you posted and realized older Apple ][ s only needed reset. However I can not remeber at all the openapple-ctrl-reset combo. In my mind we always only used ctrl-reset. Strange. We had Apple ][+ 2e and 2c computers. And I had an + and an 2c clone (with 128kB and an Z80 extra CPU and CPM, never really grasped the beauty of CPM until I started to work in the university 2 years later on unix machines)
Well, I'm a computer scientist. Not a security specialist, though.
That is why I call your so called 'explanations' a rant, as you have not the qualification to talk about security.
Anyway, you even seem not to know what a locical fallacy is, so it would be better not to use that term.
Regarding bugs and security: you can mot proof a system had no bugs. You can only find bugs. You agree? That doees mot imply every system has bugs. It only implies, if you have a bug free system, you can not (easily) proof it. And this is not a logical fallacy. Hence secure and bug free software is possible. The space shutle flight controll software, some 500k lines of code, went into production with no known bugs, during the first years 4 bugs where found and fixed, henceforth they did not discover further bugs. We assume the software was bug free from that point in time.
If you want to take the efford, you can make every software bug free.
Just as a sidenote: I work in software industry now since more than 35 years, I likely made a lot of bugs, don't really know. But what I know 100% for sure: I never had a bug made by me or my team escape into production.
Well, not sure how we can cope in my current team, though:)
Anyway, attitudes like yours is the reason there is so much unsecure and buggy software in the world. "Uh oh! It is impossible to prevent security bugs, deal with it!" No, it is not impossible.
4. Placing a TouchID sensor on the back of the phone is a singularly horrible idea from a usability standpoint That is nonsense. There are plenty of phones that have the touch sensor on the backside, and my friends who own such phones, love it.
Just to follw up to your parent: Also how the hell do you have a 'self driving car chip' when the technology realisitically isn't even really close to ready for the general public? The majour brands, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, and from Japan at least Toyota have self driving cars since a decade. The only things missing are full autonomy, as in surround lidar, standards for communicating with humand drivers (e.g. blinking lights to indicate yielding or acceleration) and: legislation chanfes. Most brands have dozens of _millions_ of miles of test runs on ordinary our world roads.
The/. crowed simply has no clue how ripe and settled the technology actually is, and there is not much AI involved.
Regarding patents etc. most of the software involved is not comming from car companies, but third parties like Continental, former subdivisions of Nokia, VALTECH etc.
From that, psychologists have a decent understanding of what babies can and cannot understand, and essentially, And this again, has nothing to do with consciousness.
We know enough about how babies brains work and what they're capable of understanding to know that 100% of human newborns do not have consciousness. No, we don't know this. Your repeated claims does not make it true. Point is you have no clue about the topic. You have not even a proper definition of consciousness.
If a baby grabs its own foot and pulls it to its mouth, does it know it is his own foot? Yes or no? This is consciousness, not the nollocks you invent in your halb arsed arguments.
A new born who isopneing its eyes imediatly, grabbing for the fingers of his mother and smiling, making noice and trying to communicate: most likely is fully consciousness. You might _believe_ otherwise, but you don't _know_.
Obviously. My point was: which sane 50 year old male would come to the idea to buy celery juice or cucumber juice? At least to me the idea never occured, passing by 'drinks' like that makes me shudder.
Depends whom you ask. They are not in the fruit section in a grocery store but in the vegetabke sections. So they are not in line with Apples and Oranges. Obviously they are the 'fruits' of the tomato bush. I guess english lacks a proper temr to describe the difference:) (e.g. nuts are the fruits of various trees and bushes, but they are not fruits either, nut nuts:) )
Because we've done extensive testing on babies and children and we know (roughly) how human brains develop. You can not test consciousness. You can only test reactions in some experiments/tests and draw conclusions. Bottom line we have no real idea about consciousness, regardless if human, animal, child or plant.
Point is: 99% or only 95% of all babies fail your tests. Most likely the 1% or 5% who "passed" get sorted out as outliers. Just like you are dismissing parents reporting that in their impression their little babies where self consciousness from birth on (which implies they were before already).
But no, there aren't babies popping out of the womb with a solid understanding of the world around them. What has that to do with: "consciousness and awareness" ?
I heard about this. Tried a tomato juice on a plane, was nothing particular. But since a while I drink tomato juice at home... would never have come to my mind if there was not this "myth"... even if the myth is true:D
I mean: tomatoes are not even real fruits... why make "juice" from them? Or why come to the idea to buy and drink it (actually it is rather expensive anyway).
"Sure. If I could make one small edit I would make that a single key operation." On an Apple ][ we had a reset key. However it only would work in conjunction with the CTRL key. Why? So you can not hit it by accident and cause a reboot. Basically every Workstation, Mini Computer, uses a 2 or 3 key combo which REQUIRES BOTH HANDS, so it can not be triggered by accident.
Is ctrl/alt/del a good combo? No idea, never cared.
We don't have examples of newborns who come into the world with anything approaching adult-like consciousness and awareness. Just because we can not ask them right away and no one is asking them later?
But no, there aren't babies popping out of the womb with a solid understanding of the world around them. What has that to do with: "consciousness and awareness" ?
It just doesn't happen because it's not possible. Hahaha, and on what "insight" do you proclaim that?
If true, the fact that a newborn is "conscious" could have a profound affect on the Abortion Debate. Why would it? Limit for legal abortion is in most countries 12 weeks (of pregnancy).

That is nonsense.

Yeah, like the guys who "invented" smoothies :D
But beetroot is an absolute no go for me, celery in soup is ok, or as steak, it is actually an interesting steak or "Schnitzel".
Anyway, I guess I still prefer a piece of liver and an egg in a mixer over that en vogue vegetable juice.
I like mixed stuff, though. E.g. carrot, with ginger and apple, or orange etc.
If you like cucumber, try aloe vera, slightly different taste but interesting feeling.
You don't need an Apple Developer ID to sell Games for Mac OS X, or macOS.
You need such an ID if you want to sell via the App Store.
Most Mac users regularily download software from other sites.
I believe there are also ways to sign the software, which is ok for the OS but does not require the App Store/Developer ID.
Autonomous driving cars don't use machine learning (in the sense if neural networks)
