Prison should be a place to practice how to be happy doing good, not to be berated about being bad. Without a new experience, the same result will emerge as the first time around, only hardened.
You don't even need to do time for that to happen in America today. The middle class is shrinking every year now. In another few decades a few thousand families will have 99% of the wealth in this country and the rest of us will be little more than modern day serfs.
Real AI is hard, very hard, and when it gets things wrong it can kill people. The other problem with it is that simply throwing money or huge teams at it isn't enough, there is a serious shortage of competent experts - and that's even for ordinary weak AI. For strong AI (what cars ideally need) the number of even half competent experts is next to zero. We know this because there is not a single working true strong AI machine in the world. Yet.:)
"Nazism was a nationalistic belief in a master race and the belief that all other races must be eradicated."
Ironically your cartoon version of Nazism is something a Nazi propagandist would be proud of. As a generalization Nazism is a useful stereotype to label people who are indoctrinated to a belief system and show total intolerance for other modes of thought or belief systems. In that context the SJW feminists definitely are Nazis.
In truth the real problem is that so many is the SJW movement show signs of high levels of indoctrination. - They psych themselves up to high levels of anger and rage, exactly the same techniques the Nazis used to indoctrinate the Germans into loyalty to Hitler. I'm not speaking as an outsider I was once one of those people (an activist) to my shame, but I got older and more cynical and was lucky enough to escape the lie.
The right are wrong on most things - but so very often are the left.
And BTW saying that you believe in equality between men and women puts you closer to many of the modern anti-feminists than the Third Wave SJW feminists who don't want equality but female supremacy.. And 'female' BTW only includes women who agree with them.
Sounds exactly like drug vs alcohol policy. Its a system that's rotten to the core.. and run almost completely incompetently.. I believe in socialism but its something that only really works with a magical thing called 'competent government'.
What an incredibly good idea. Explorer so desperately needs this. - I know I'm an idiot for using Explorer - couldn't even really say why I ended up then kept using it. Should switch to Chrome - seems much better now than when I last tried it.. Used Netscape for decades until a year after it finally closed - then used Sea Monkey for a while, then somehow found myself using Explorer - despite all its flaws.
Fixing the resource stealing by malware adds and poorly written web sites would fix most of Explorers worst flaws..
As long as you ignore the FTL region that is true. Look above the speed of light and you have two theories in direct contradiction. - Quantum mechanics forbids complete determinism - the equivalent of the Earth orbiting around the sun. - General Relativity requires total determinism for the universe to exist - that Is more like the sun orbiting around the Earth. Know what? there is tons of evidence for the quantum model, there is absolutely zero proof for the general relativity model. There is virtually nothing in the whole of pseudoscience that has less empirical proof than the FTL region general relativity. However millions of otherwise well educated people everywhere go on believing in dimensional time as if it was real. How do I know this? well I figured out how to replace general relativity with an absolute frame model. I'm only an 'amateur' so no one was interested..
Oil and coal kill over 2 million a year, over the last 75 years that totals to well over 100 million. But that is nothing compared to climate change which is set to kill up to 5 billion people (out of 10 billion). Compared to those numbers every mass killing in modern history disappears as statistical noise.
The best way to reduce the numbers killed by climate change is pre-emptive population reduction - under that scenario even a global nuclear war net saves lives. (eg kill one billion save three billion)
You track its long term trajectory and in 50 years the US will be a third world country, and the world will be ruled by China. Debt is the thing that is killing the US and Trump started on practically his first day with an economic policy of increasing the debt and giving the money to the 1%. When America finally sinks they will all just leave. (depressing but true)
Its like cannibalism - depends on which side of the dinner plate you end up on. - Eater or dinner.. Cannibalism is a remarkably efficient method of population reduction..:) (burp!)
I hate the crazy voting system. You get votes when you don't need them, when you want them you don't have them. You cant vote then comment except anonymously, you cant comment then vote. What's really frustrating is when an interesting or clever post has zero votes and I only find it when I have already spent the last one.
Unfortunately there's virtually zero interest in the real thing. Strong AI still has a 10 to 20 year lead time and is a seriously high risk project which together are enough to put almost anybody off. If I was in America I might be able to get some money from someone like DARPA or NASA but the UK equivalents.. barely exist.
"Once AI is advanced enough to participate in its own improvement, that improvement can advance at an exponential rate."
I am an expert in this field and this exponential thing is just not true. There are exponential factors in Strong AI but they face the other way, so as intelligence increases it becomes exponentially more difficult to increase it further. Look at nature, a human brain has something like a million times the volume of an insect brain - but the average human is at most only about 100 times smarter than an insect. In consciousness based systems sentience is a real time process, and 'process coherence' puts a heavy limit on total intelligence and abilities. If coherence breaks down then the whole thing crashes, so the more you try to squeeze in the more unstable and closer to crashing the whole system gets. You cant simply throw more processing power at it because the coherence/complexity limit rises in a way that doesn't allow direct scaling. The total processing power needs of a strong AI might be roughly similar to a high end PC but about 90% of that is in the interface or memory thrashing logic. The actual machine core will most of the time only use a small fraction of the cycles available to it.

The push is created by differential attraction. The repeller is an area empty of matter which means that there is less gravitational pull from that area, the net result is a push..
It is very debateable whether true negative gravity exists, however all it requires is a negative curvature of space / space time so is theoretically possible.. Negative gravity could exist in certain conditions inside wormholes - or as the theoretical 'white' holes.
Its all Obamas fault anyway. If he hadn't been so spineless he would have declared the Russian infiltration of US politics an act of war and voided the election.
Ironically it is possible to reverse engineer the brain. Once you begin to understand its core algorithms at heart the brain is not even a very complex machine. The secret to the mind is abstraction and generic logic and the Turing machine - the key to all those is computer and CPU engineering. That's the irony.

If it's good enough for the White House, it's good enough for prison.
This whole presidency is a dirty protest. They will be hosing down the walls for months afterwards. America may never recover.

Far too much common sense.

But that's what the people voted for.

Its an excellent and addictive song. I like this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Remember its still a socialist utopia until they can actually buy and sell slaves. Come to think of it they pretty much can.. At least wage slaves..

"The way our economy works is not a constant. Historically speaking, it is rather recent."
If only more people understood that.

Differential repulsion.
It is real repulsion, only it is differential repulsion rather than direct repulsion.
