This is a great solution to "what do we do with captured carbon". Sure, you can inject a ton of CO2 into the ground... but can you do that for a thousand tons.. how about a million, a billion, a trillion? What this does is turn CO2 into something that can easily be stored without the need for special equipment. You could literally just flood depleted coal mines with the stuff and leave it.
The other thing this does is allow us to put a definitive cost on capturing and sequestering CO2. The sane response to this is to begin taxing CO2 output and using the money to fund CO2 capture and sequestration sites.
"B-b-b-but other countries pollute too!" but knowing the monetary cost of the damage they are doing will allow all countries to tax imports based on their originating country. As such, they will either end up paying for the pollution and/or lose to competing eviromentally friendly nations.
True, but other people have votes -and theirs count just as much as yours. And votes lead to laws, and laws do affect you.
Are they going to pass laws to force me to use Amazon/Google/Facebook? Nope. Could they pass laws to restrict content on the internet? Yeah, that have never gone well.
Your argument lacks teeth but it's great for scaring idiots.
This type of thing never works, it just makes the people who already believe in this hunker down because now they believe it's an even bigger conspiracy.
You are absolutely correct. However, the real issue here is not the people that already believe this bullshit but the people that may be inclined to believe bullshit by a spreader of said bullshit.
If you want to get people to stop believing in this, just make a pro-vaccine movie. Only you don't fill in full of scientists, reason and logic. Go film some of the anti-vaxxers whose children got sick with perfectly preventable diseases. Make sure to really capture the suffering of those poor children and the misery of the dumb-fuck parents. Go to the corners of the earth where polio still exists to show them the horrors of that. I think that will get their attention.
A good start but I think we should go one further and show how much money is made by "big pharma" from each kid that gets sick from these diseases and then claim they founded the anti-vax movement.;)
If you find you are suddenly in danger of being unable to use some functionality of your device then you have leashed yourself with closed-source software. If they had invested in contributing to an open source software then they would not be leashed. The real problem is that when people think of open source software, they think that because it's free that they should not allocate money toward supporting the software. This short-term MBA style thinking has kept open source projects very weak ("Why financially support a project if there is no immediate benefit?") and thus caused so many fools to put themselves on a software leash. In the case of expiring licenses, that leash is really a noose that slowly tightens around their neck until they pay.
If businesses were smart then there would be billions of dollars invested to build/improve open source software. Instead there are peanuts because corporations are only looking out for "number one" as they cut their own face.
It doesn't take an expert to understand the basic concepts.
arguing that the MSM is truth..shocking.
The only thing I've argued is that Fox News Channel is product of the Republicans rather than a conspiracy by "globalist liberals" to discredit conservatism. If you want to claim Republicans aren't conservatives, fine but that doesn't mean they are liberals. It would be far more accurate to classify them as neo-fascists. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
... wouldn't it make sense to push certain liberal ideas into their heads...
That's not how plebs think.
You clearly do not have a firm understanding of how propaganda works and it would be beneficial to everyone if you didn't make claims about propaganda in the future.
Then if Fox New Channel was really run by liberals and their viewers believe what they say then wouldn't it make sense to push certain liberal ideas into their heads so that they could get leaders elected and legislation passed? What good is discrediting conservatism if you cannot then use it achieve your own goals?
Here's a more plausible explanation: it's run by right-wing money-grubbing corporate fascists who took root in the Republican party back in the 80s after the Fairness Doctrine was ended. Now their fearmongering and demagoguery has gotten them a narcissistic simpleton who is puppet for foreign nation.
For the same reason a bunch of liberals watch CNN: most people are retarded.
People who watch CNN generally agree with the viewpoints presented Naturally, it follows that people who watch Fox News Channel generally agree with the viewpoints presented.
Just because you do not like what the Republican party has morphed into doesn't make it any less Republican. Deluding yourself doesn't change this fact.
The idea that it's owners/creators are liberal is absurd. They are pushing people toward right-wing fascism which is exactly the opposite of anything liberal and if it were a con then it would be highly counterproductive in achieving whatever legislative goals they had. The truth is they merely wish to profit while stoking fear which creates a feedback loop for viewership which explains their record of high ratings.
Globalist liberals frequently pretend to be conservatives to discredit the policies
Putting aside that it would literally be the dumbest con ever, why do so many conservatives watch Fox New Channel daily if it conflicts badly with their conservative views?
Lying is what wins elections. Why do you suppose that is?
Because when you watch and listen to propaganda that keeps yelling "EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU!" 24/7/365 and that only they can be trusted then you don't actually know who is telling the truth.
When you don't know what the truth is then it's easy to be swayed into believing convenient sounding lies that the propaganda keeps repeating.
If you are executing someone else's code natively on the CPU then it's true that it cannot be fully secured. However, if you execute (JavaScript) code through an interpreter engine rather than using JIT/dynamic recompilation engine then it is by default that spectre cannot be accessed. However, this would be throwing years of effort away in making JavaScript fast so that advertisers can exploit you easier without you noticing the slower execution speed. For this reason, the safest and simplest JavaScript engine is out of our reach which in turn has lead to the internet becoming a horrible mess of evil JavaScript, exploiting us at every turn.
TL;DR: STOP REQUIRING JIT, YOU ASSHOLES BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING UP EVERYTHING.
This is the difference between open and closed source right here. In closed source, you need their permission for them to "allow" you to do things. With open source, you are free to add or remove what you want and when you want. Mostly open source doesn't bother adding in malfeatures because they know someone will just disable it and release a fork.
Closed source software is the leash they use to control you because that's all you are to them: cattle. Don't believe me? Has Microsoft allowed you to disable the telemetry yet?
So you think the part of the equation that changed is China realized they were not getting legal IP transfer they expected.
There is a lot of evidence for China's "China first and to hell with the rest of you" position. The rest is simply a logical extension of that policy. The trade war seems only to be a factor in that it's hurting them. Regardless, they were going to get that IP one way or another for their "Made in China 2025" initiative.
United States and China have a peer to peer relationship
I would say it's more accurate to say we have an adversarial relationship that is closer to the USSR and USA in the 1980s. It seems calm and peaceful but both nations are ready to kill each other but don't as they know the consequences of open warfare would be devastating.
If you don't see things like that then you probably aren't paying close enough attention.
What this really means is that China's ability to obtain companies' IP through other means (e.g. espionage or via Chinese law) are not as effective as they once were or hoped they would be. The policy of the Chinese government has been "China first and to hell with the rest of you" long before Trump paraded out his "America First" line. China only does things that will benefit China and therefore the truce was part of that calculation. Now that things have changed and/or it's proven to not be as effective as hoped/expected (e.g. beefed up security and/or higher awareness by US companies), the Chinese government has resumed their normal hacking operations to steal IP. Alternatively, they predicted a massive influx of US companies that would be handing over their IP to China which hasn't panned out as expected. Anyway it goes, they were expecting to get more of the IP from US companies and it didn't happen and their response is to take it by hacking into companies.
Note: I'm not claiming superiority in any regard, I'm just explaining the thought process that dictates their actions. (Take your whataboutism and shove it because this is about China.)
Deep Learning is stuck again because there is no fundamental theory of learning. We have no idea how we learn.
Actually, we know how learning works just fine. They are called neural networks and our implementations of them work as expected.
In truth, what we don't understand is how to build neural networks that give rise to a general intelligence. My theory is that predefined (via evolution) generic brain structures that segment every animal brain is the key to general intelligence while hardwired instincts drive the advancement of general intelligence.
Neuroscience will probably discover that learning is a very biological trait, not one that can be copied or simulated in discrete mechanical systems.
That's a very silly argument because absolutely anything can be simulated.
Slashdot Mirror
There is a difference between them tracking me and me using their services. They need me but I don't need them.
All the laws they have tried to pass to restrict speech (thus far) have been struck down, so color me skeptical.

the last thing we need is for Amazon / Google / Facebook to become the arbiters as to what we think, see, and hear.
That's funny because I rarely use amazon and don't use Google or Facebook. Somehow they have failed to control what I think see and hear.

Literally liberal propaganda: liberals portraying conservative values in the dumbest way possible so as to discredit them.
but despite all that, it is still somehow liberal propaganda?
Are you retarded?

It's seriously fucked up when a company can operate and pay zero dollars in taxes.
