While the parent may be a silly git, your point is incorrect.
Posts responding to his post are free speech. Modding him to -1 so you can't see what he said is partial censorship (not complete since we can still pull it up with effort) (and not successful since there are so many responses that you can easily use "see parent" to see his post).
But deleting/hiding his speech is censorship (just not religious or government censorship). Responding to his post and calling him a whiny idiot isn't censorship.
I think we should consider it in terms of the brain.
The Thalamus, Hippocampus, Amygdala, Striatum, Auditory Cortex, Prefrontal Cortex, Corpus Callosu, Reticular Nucleus, Intralaminar nuclei, Basal Ganglia are not intelligence.
Siri essentially is several parts of the of the brain (auditory cortext, parts of broca's area, etc.).

When discussing A.I. people seem to have two standards.
When something is impossible, they say that's A.I.
As soon as we succeed at implementing that behavior, they say that's not A.I.
"In the early years of AI, there had always been this worry that AI never lived up to its promise because anything that works, by definition, is no longer [seen as] AI," Subbarao Kambhapati, a computer scientist at Arizona State University, told Tech Insider.
Carlos Guestrin, the CEO of a Seattle-based company called Dato that builds AI algorithms to analyze data, said it might be because ANI looks nothing like human intelligence.
"Once something is done, it's not AI anymore," Guestrin told Tech Insider. "It's a perceptual thing â" once something becomes commonplace, it's demystified, and it doesn't feel like the magical intelligence that we see in humans."

If by A.I. we mean consciousness, then the instant we succeed we are a) in danger b) behaving immorally if we kill it, force it to do labor for us.
---
We don't need "A.I." to replace humans doing manual labor, white collar work, and even many creative and analytical jobs. The ability to appreciate music doesn't pay money. The ability to create music has been implemented. Most "creative" jobs can probably be reduced 4:1 to 20:1 with one person being in creative mode all the time while robots and programs do the rest. I suspect we'll see jobs destroyed faster than they can be created for the next 20 to 40 years.
by then we hit the limits to growth based on non renewable elements (like chromium, magnesium, etc.)
Nope. i was from a poor family and had an apple two in 1979. I wrote programs for DND on it. I cracked video games (Pest patrol) and messed with the sweet 16 assembler. I wrote conway's "life" in assembly language.
I messed around with trash-80's in highschool and my ex-wife's mom had one also.
You just had to want a computer more than other things.
What the heck do you think made america strong, collegial, and capable of holding different beliefs while still working together?
The public school system. It was propaganda and it also welded us into an alloy of one people.
The new system is balkanizing and destroying the country. It's literally turning the U.S. into many parallel cultures and many separate peoples who refuse to work together and who lack any shared values.
Seriously... the planes are offering wifi... the planes should be constantly streaming their blackbox data (or a reasonable subset of it). If nothing else, the exact GPS location and altitude could be updated easily, redundantly, and perhaps even some of it over existing radio frequencies.
I'm not sure of the cost of the update but... looks like they have at least $1 million to spare since that doesn't include deferred compensation like stock options. Similar compensation for other companies in this area.
That's about 420x the average worker wage in the country btw.
And..
http://www.bizjournals.com/kan... [bizjournals.com] In just less than eight months, Claure earned $22 million, the paper reports. The data come from Securities and Exchange Commission filings that the Overland Park-based wireless carrier (NYSE: S) filed ahead of its August stockholders meeting.
And that was just the top executive- not the top 25 executives (also available public information).
So now tell me why the industry can't afford to update the software on our devices again?
Seriously.... you can add about 15% to your penis length thru jelqing. I did about a decade ago. Increased thickness by about 1/4" as well via horse exercises. And it's free. No pills. Basically body manipulation over long periods of time. Took me about 2 years to get to a plateau.

"The efficacy of alcohol-based hand-hygiene products is affected by several factors, including the type of alcohol used, concentration of alcohol, contact time, volume of alcohol used, and whether the hands are wet when the alcohol is applied. Applying small volumes (i.e., 0.2â"0.5 mL) of alcohol to the hands is not more effective than washing hands with plain soap and water (63,64). One study documented that 1 mL of alcohol was substantially less effective than 3 mL (91). The ideal volume of product to apply to the hands is not known and may vary for different formulations. However, if hands feel dry after rubbing hands together for 10â"15 seconds, an insufficient volume of product likely was applied."
Most likely case would be 2 to 5% deaths directly followed by knock on deaths from disruption.
And if it gets serious, it's very likely something will be found to kill it. With modern genetic knowledge, it's really a question of allocation of resources to antibiotic research. Right now, penis and hair pills are more profitable.
Besides, it's already too late to reduce the population. We past that pole about 20 years ago. We are well underway in an overshoot scenario that's going to hit anyone under 50.
And by doing so, they create an instant market of books where they get no money at all.
With pricing for ebooks literally more expensive than physical books which have costs such as shipping, loss, restocking fees, and so on it's not reasonable for them to claim they are selling a one time license and most people ignore them.
(Right now ebook game of thrones is 6.99 while the paper back is 6.75)
The result is that you or I could go and get a copy of virtually any ebook right now for free in a half dozen formats. It is literally as easy as retyping the book as you read it to copy them. No form of DRM can protect them. Only people's good will and a reasonable pricing model can do so.
because for property, it's always been your right to sell it once you no longer wanted it.
If ebooks are property, then why should they be treated differently?
I can buy an album, never play it, and sell it in pristine condition later.
I can buy a book, read it once, and sell it basically pristine condition later.
It would be different if I was renting the ebook for a comparably lower price ($1 for a read, $13 to 'own' a transferable license).
And really, what should be sold is the right to read or listen to a book or song and as with any other property you should be able to sell that right or pass it to your heirs.
Basically the wealthy and powerful get to walk over everyone else in a libertarian society unless there is a magical supersmall but superpowerful government or powerful weapon shop hand weapon which allows everyone else to resist them.
Focused is like using a magnifying glass on an ant.
You take several square meters of light and focus them onto a smaller area of solar panels. Given more light, the panels produce more electricity for fewer solar cells and fewer inverters. There are limits to this (you don't want to melt the solar panel for example).
If someone is tossing gold coins at a wall, catching a few of them doesn't stop them from throwing gold coins at the wall. (solar).

--- The sun is going to shine on the same patch of ground regardless of whether it heats a black carpet, dries some water, or hits a solar cell. It doesn't lower the sun's energy.
Moving air molecules around takes energy. When you extract energy from the moving air molecules you lower their energy. ---
Put a light and a fan next to each other. Put a pinwheel 30' away. Put a solar cell in the path of the light. It doesn't stop the light from shining. Put a large pinwheel 10' in front of the fan. It will slow the pinwheel behind it.
---
However.. harvesting solar energy WILL effect the local climate. Because it's much more likely to translate the light to waste heat as it is used as energy. The earth can only radiate away a certain amount of heat per second.
Global warming is more about reducing the earths ability to radiate away heat. Solar power (and fusion, and nuclear, and wind) all add waste heat directly locally and globally. I.e. there is a fundamental amount of energy we can safely give to each human and once we exceed that the earth will start heating up because it can't radiate away the heat fast enough.
'However, the committee acknowledged the âoeinherent difficulty of detecting subtle or long-term effects on health or the environment,â they wrote in an accompanying statement.'

One thing people need to be aware of however. Many pesticides are currently a non-renewable resource. The more crops/people/pesticide use, the fast we use up the non-renewable manufacturing sources. At some point, we will need the crops to do the job. It's unavoidable and likely to occur within the next 70 years.
Another issue is that insects are going to adapt to it. But maybe perfect robot workers can crawl the field catching insects and killing them manually?

Would trading a car, or laundry soap* for stolen credit cards still be some kind of crime?
*There was a time a few years ago when the large orange container liquid laundry soap was being used as currency by drug dealers.
I would probably buy win10 on my next new computer without giving it a second thought but I'm very resistant to upgrading my win 8.1 system.
On top of that, Microsoft's behavior is giving me a strong push towards linux for my main permanent box.

It's a great way to set the U.S. up to fail.

Optimized at the time they were manufactured and probably never updated.

This is very nice! But I can't find a path to it through the site menus. is it a premium feature?
For now, I can look up a show and post its tag into your url.
Lol. I like the actors and the characters they play. (Esp. since I was a buffy fan ).
They've kept the show really fresh with the rotating interns scheme which is fairly unique in television.
A single rating isn't doing the job in this case.
I'm a guy and I loved sex and the city.
Otherwise pretty nerd profile.
12 Monkeys, Fear the Walking Dead, Game...of...Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Mr. Robot, Person of Interest.
But also Bones and Death in Paradise.
