There was plenty of obvious rigging if you had a criminal enough mind to look at it from a different angle. Calling the vote for Clinton during primaries before the votes were even counted halfway (Arizona, IIRC) exit polls, etc. all show signs of electoral fraud.
"I don't buy that at all... the computer in this case is still learning through visual feedback only."
Instantaneous visual feedback. Humans have serious input and output lag in comparison. Give the bot the exact same latency we've got and see how it does.
"As for the laser comment below. You'd need one hell of big laser to even puncture the skin and plumbing at that distance, it definitely wouldn't be man portable."
We've got 50+kW solid state lasers. They're plenty effective one mile away on a totally stationary target, and modular so easy to set up. Ever hear of Rheinmetall? They've got a 50kW that knocked out moving targets from 1.24 miles out. Lockheed Martin (ULA partner) has the same tech. It would be a somewhat trivial task to set one up on the roof, give it power from the rooftop AC unit power feed, blast a hole, disassemble it, and clean the roof, all in just an 8 hour shift.
"Generating theories that pseudo-government entities utilize sabotage devices from a mile away seems a bit John Nash"
Are you that blind to the technological capabilities of the world in this day and age? At a distance of a mile, a gun can easily reach target within seconds, or a 10+kW laser is more than enough to effectively fuck something up with a clear LOS.
You could put a 2.5mm jack in there for audio instead of relying upon an 8.4mm x 2.6mm jack which takes up far more actual physical space than even the 3.5mm diameter plug it wants to so badly replace.
Also, the impending lawsuits for not reporting such a breach in a timely fashion. That's likely going to nail their stock price hard and probably make any company want to avoid them except for as a penny stock.
" Again, are you going to force them to hire actors that they don't want to hire?"
When I can prove they don't want to hire because of age, especially when a role and script generally call for such a character? GOD FUCKING DAMN RIGHT I WOULD.
Did you forget what a fucking bona-fide occupational qualifier is, sir?
"Why do people with genes from West Africa (but who live all over the world in different cultures) make up the top 95% of the top sprint times? It isn't because they grew up sprinting."
I love your anthropological fail. They most certainly did grow up sprinting, as nomadic hunter tribes.
"There are age-related anti-discrimination laws already on the books, and they should be plenty sufficient for protecting actors as well as all other kinds of labor. "
If you're 40 and over, yes. Problem is, many actors get discriminated against in their 30s, considered too old. Unless you've got star power behind you, you're pretty much fucked, and might as well get a job being a gaffer or boom operator if you want to stay anywhere in the field, or relegate yourself to TV roles.
"Dude, I'm not a network technician but I've been putting computers together since the late 80s and have been running Linux OSs as my desktop OS for over a decade now...
And I couldn't set up the network you described without some serious googling."
If you don't know what pfsense is (and you claim to run Linux as your desktop OS for over a decade) and if you don't realize that almost everything described is actually a cable job (outside of making VLANs and configuring pfsense) then I suggest you get out of the IT field entirely.
If you can't handle at LEAST 5+ tbits in this day and age, you have no business being a CDN. This isn't the 90s or even the beginning of the new millennium.
Bet you Akamai's been pocketing that money and not bothering to expand their capabilities.
Yes, it is a good time to spend the money, before it becomes utterly useless. Fail to learn how the Great Depression worked and what it did to the Dollar, did we?
The PSU is very well-isolated. Even the crappy P4 PSUs that came stock with many systems and only had one 6-pin PCI-E power plug for the GPUs of then (7000+ series nVidia) had diodes and capacitor decoupling in the PSU. No, the PSU was very unlikely to have been killed by the GPU.
You do know what a diode is, right? You do know those are on every rail of even the utterly crappiest of PSUs, right? You do know that since pretty much the 80s the PSU is rather well-isolated from the rest of the system as far as electrical feedback and reverse voltage goes, right?
Do you even have any electrical experience? I've got a bare PSU mounted to a board right now powering a motherboard, again mounted bare to the same plank. De-shrouded GPU, etc. I bet you're the kind of person that hasn't ever turned a screw in your life.
I'd definitely mark troll for the power supply comment. Windows has exactly zero to do with that. For the GPU issue, that could very well be caused by Microsoft.
I could think of plenty of uses for 1T-bit connection in the home.
Camfrog Video Chat, if they hadn't fucked up and removed your own ability to host your own server. 4k broadcasting of multiple video cam angles for things like live from-home guitar education, lapidary education, etc. Being able to back up your stuff to whatever silly online cloud provider you have thank to our ever-increasing data glut.
Yes, the entirety of the system is original minus the tubes, on a hand-wired thru-hole board. And the system is QUIET. There's no hum. The caps are rock solid.

My fucking face when you use an English dictionary to fucking trace origins of a FRENCH WORD.
Back to high school with you - take French for your foreign language. Merde.
You don't need marketshare to be found guilty of anti-trust violations.

Did you fail at understanding the comment before your quote? " Problem is, many actors get discriminated against in their 30s, considered too old."
I've seen plenty of movies adaptations from books. I can't count how many time the roles of 30+-year olds are being played by those in their 20s.

I guess someone doesn't know about OldVersion.
I can tell you don't live out here.

Because SD card speeds vary by class. You aren't capable of taking full advantage of USB 3.0 with the majority of SD card classes available now.
"That is not what that clause says."
The tenth amendment reads pretty much as I said it, verbatim. Have you bothered reading it and thinking about it in this context?
Here, have a pic of the internals - Nice and clean spaghetti.
