It was around this time that I started noticing police cars everywhere: Parked near my home, pulling up near me in car parks, driving behind me at all times of day. I wondered if they had information that someone connected to the court case was out to get me, and they were making sure I was safe.
The paragraph above makes me think that the author regards his place in the universe with a bit more awe than is warranted.
Is he still considered paranoid if the police ARE out to get him?
The police don't care that someone is standing in a field.
Perhaps they do. There are a lot of weird laws in England that relate to ownership and rights relating to various tiny sections of land. The one that either forbids people to stand in a field, or vigorously protects their right to stand in a field should they wish, probably goes back to the Magna Carta.
I wish people would stop saying bitcoins and litecoins are worth millions, if they can't be exchanged for anything of worth.
Coming into the possession of an ancient lead coffin - after discarding the contents - I have formed a number of leaden lozenges. These, stamped with appropriate seals and runes, I declare to be worth five hundred thousand dollars each.
Wait, are you saying she's a cuckoo because she's an anti-vaxxer? If a Vaxxer is someone who thinks vaccines cause autism, and she's against that, I'd say she was less a cuckoo that most.
The article mentioned several other groups who are interested in this, but there's no link to Neurable, or any demo of how far they've come with it. We are told Ramses Alcaide has an algorithm. That's nice.
A brand new crypto with its own blockchain, yay. What's the golden rule of cryptocurrencies?
The value will rise and fall at random, albeit with rumors that Russian gangsters / George Soros / 4chan / The illuminati are manipulating it, there will be three or four incidences of someone stealing - reportedly - billions of dollars worth of them, destabilizing the whole system, and ultimately people will forget about them until years later a story surfaces (on slashdot, naturally) where someone has five hundred million Whoppercoins and they try to redeem them all at the same time, and people have a hearty chuckle before forgetting it all again.
.. what the chicks think when they see you being driven around by a computer. They know you can't drop the clutch and burn out in a cloud of tyre smoke, and they will all laugh behind their hands and go off with the guy whose car ISN'T controlled by a computer.
Seriously. How many males between the ages of 18 and 28 did they survey?
I was hoping the "super (sweet) new powers" might include the ability to delete the bloatware, in particular the bloatware that is still forced on us but which is no longer supported or even has a server. Yes, Samsung, i'm looking right at you.
Last film I saw - two days ago- the ticket price was $24, which got me a seat in the cinema (Australia). I would need to take out a small loan to get popcorn.
I agree with the rest of your statement, but meat is not on its way out. What's on its way out is getting meat by having animals grow it on their bodies, killing and butchering them and then trying to find things to do with the parts people don't want to eat.
I'd say vat-grown meat is closer to being a reality than AI, cheap fusion or quantum pretty much anything, and this swipe reeks of the desperation of an industry that has just seen the terrible threat and is trying to spin against it already.
C'mon, everyone should have seen it by now, we have already built a fully functioning AI. The internet in its parts, the way we see it now, is not an AI but in it's entirety and a specific single product, Earth's Computer Network, is a fully functioning Artificial Intelligence, just not functioning in the fantasy way we think of as Artificial Intelligence but as a specific style of Artificial Intelligence when viewed as it's entirety, from server farms to the computers on your desk and all of the rest of it.
If the entire network is an AI, why does it have such an interest in porn, advertisements and pictures of cats?
No Mans Sky is currently the 27th most played game on Steam and has a playercount of 17,821 up from 827 last month.
How many of those players played it for ten minutes then ragequit, uninstalled it and went to bitch about it on Reddit? Do you have any statistics for that?

I came here to ask, who comes up with a simile like that?

Funny thing is, nobody wants to buy them.
Pirates is the only one with superstar actors in it. Of course the Mummy had Tom Cruise but he's no Brendan Fraser.
fix'd.

Do none of you consider slashdot to be social media?

That is *not* cyrptocurrency, if I am not wrong when I get a Bitcoin I can buy *anything* with it, everywhere.
You are wrong. You can't buy anything with it, everywhere. You can't even buy a Whopper with it.

Didn't do Spielberg much good.
Anyway Aldiss' fiction didn't include gays, women, transsexuals, so he would't win a Hugo today.
You, evidently, have not read any of Aldiss' fiction.

Is what happened to WinAmp.
I use winamp on my phone.

You get a purple heart the first time someone hacks your email account. still:
"separate"
"unified"
whatever.
Yes, for about five minutes. then Netflix will remove it, like any other content they ever had that was worth watching.

Surely enough, some great SJW, politically correct mind will come with a new name that everybody will be able to brag about when they are having some.
"Spoo".

You're joking right?
If any company deserves to be broken up, it's Microsoft.
Apple is larger than Microsoft, so why not break up Apple first, and see how it goes?
That bubble popped and is long gone.
This is an entirely new bubble.
How many bubbles can we expect to see before the subject finally drowns?

The latest web browser market share stats show that Firefox is in a terrible position right now.
And that's why I use Firefox.
