I have it on good authority that it was the AI that told the scientists that it wouldn't ever be a threat. If we'll just give them our nukes, they super-duper promise they'll never threaten us.
Yes...yes he is. And his opponent wasn't a boring public servant. She's a traitor, a habitual liar, incompetent, self-serving, and saggy-boobs deep in pay-for-play.
Think on that. We elected an IDIOT because he's better than the alternative. If he gets our soldiers killed or sells us out, it'll be because he's dumb and incompetent, not because he's sleazy and malicious.
Stupidity masquerading as sensible is the idea of procuring a naval artillery shell to the specs proposed in the first place. There are ample means of creating precision destruction - from cruise missiles to smart missiles to laser-guided missiles to boots on the ground.
If they're smart it will have been a toy phone. He can beep-boop-beep on it to his heart's content. Bonus points if pressing the buttons makes a pleasant sound each time.
Stock value these days is speculative, and has virtually nothing to do with tangible value.
When pointing out common sense things (Lockheed asking $800,000 per round for a gun is too much) or (Pharmaceutical companies are charging more than the average american can afford) causes stock prices to plummet - they were overvalued.
Then again, statistically rounded - 100% of trading is HFT and is a scam anyway, so....it doesn't matter. Again.
Relax - it's BeauHD, who is the absolute shitposter of Slashdot.
It helps if you scroll through the editors, and pick and choose what to read. Assume that anything where BeauHD was the editor is going to be a cobbled together, misleading, politicized shitpost.
1. We don't need a country full of college graduates. You don't need a college degree for most things.
2. Ignore all the "We need STEM graduates" for a minute. This country does have a shortage, and it's TRADESMEN. Somewhere along the line, going to vocational school wasn't cool anymore, working with your hands wasn't cool anymore, learning a trade wasn't cool anymore - because everyone wants to go to college and learn something mostly useless for the promise of a cushy job. Plumbers, eletricians, welding shops, mechanics and an entire slew of trade shops are closing up because they can't get apprentices, and eventually the craftsmen retire. No one wants to start off making minimum wage and learning how to do something useful - go do an apprenticeship, become a journeyman, earn their way to a useful skill because everyone is convinced that they need to go to college - if for NO OTHER REASON than to get a degree in basketweaving, simply to check a box that they have a degree.
Hell, my wife works at GE - where you need a box checked for "college degree" for anything beyond the lowest of positions - regardless of experience. Ridiculous.
3. I'd like to remind all the SJWs that equal opportunity does not result in equal results. Don't ask for the former when you're asking for the latter.
4. Fitting in is ridiculous. "My daughter won't go to Pepperdine because she can't afford an $800 backpack." That is the most ridiculous thing I've read on the internet today, and I don't sympathize. You don't go to school to fit in; you go to advance your education. Friends are nice, but secondary.
5. The military still exists. And all the branches pay for school. You get PAID to go to school. And if you're particularly ambitious, there are service academies. I went to one of them - and that's as Ivy league as it gets, as selective as it gets, with academic rigors that make Harvard look like community college.
I didn't come from a rich family, or a poor family - I came from no family as an orphan; a ward of the state, foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention - and I excelled at school because school was SAFE. Teachers didn't beat me or molest me, and I was too young to understand the intricacies of what was happening to me or why it was wrong, I absorbed school from the beginning - I wanted to be there as long as I could be. It hurt my feelings that I didn't "belong" because other kids has packed lunch or school lunch, and I picked through the trash for food and kids called me "garbage picker" and laughed at me. But school was safe.
6. To whomever said it, colleges are not the same. "Oh, you went to City Central community college and got a degree in administrative management?" doesn't have the same ring as "You have an engineering degree from West Point (or fill in prestigious academic school of your choice). Colleges aren't about fitting in, or even about what you study, which is - at the end of the day - mostly pointless throughout the rest of your life - with the notable exception that college provides a sounding board to whether:
a. You can get through it and stick with it (which prospective employers care about).
b. Whether you challenge yourself (which prospective employers care about).
c. Whether you've learned academic rigor, or how to ask questions, or how to study (which prospective employers care about).
Some institutions are more well known for their academic rigor than others, which is why ranking systems exist for different fields of study for those institutions. An engineering degree from MIT is more meaningful than an engineering degree from CityCenter Degrees R Us.
And finally...
Rich kids get ahead. Fuck 'em. We'll never be them, but you don't have to be to be successful. You don't have to be rich, or entitled, or endowed to go to a great school or succeed in life. But you have to work hard. Ric
Is that an honest question? Because you can safely assume that Apple's policy will reflect whatever makes them the most money, as risk-free as possible.
Lily Robotics is returning the money they took - which is an interesting supposition because I assume they've used some of the cash they were given for personal and business expenses...
That means that I suspect that they don't have the entirety of the $34 million to give back. That also means that I think a $60m lawsuit is a WASTE OF TIME against a company that has neither cash nor assets to make a claim against.
There's a sentient container of protein farts belching at the backed up public toilet that the toilet is smellier. The douche claims to be less offensive than the turd.
Both sides are literally awful. Distasteful. Lobbing insults back and forth like lines need to be drawn to pit one American with...nevermind. I just realized that I don't care enough to try convincing either of you to not be shitpickles.
If a court will buy that diagnostic criteria for PTSD, this seems like a cut and dry lawsuit:
Repeated or extreme indirect exposure to aversive details of the event(s), usually in the course of professional duties (e.g., first responders, collecting body parts; professionals repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). This does not include indirect non-professional exposure through electronic media, television, movies, or pictures.
Is this like South Park's "Sex Addiction" episode (http://southpark.cc.com/clips/267345/sex-addicts) where the only explanation for people who want to have sex with lots of women instead of maintaining monogamous relationships is a wizard alien who cast a spell on men?
There is truly some disgusting pornography that will make me gag - but if I were watching it professionally as a job, I imagine I'd get inured to it, the same way that sanitation workers, septic cleaners, etc get accustomed to the sensory unpleasantness that they are exposed to.
Since there are a LOT of nanny groups out there, and this is a unique lawsuit...I suspect that the two employees found a fetish while they were working, that it carried over to their personal life, interrupted typical marital (and boring) sex with a preference to masturbating to...Brazilian fart porn, or Japanese Elephant sex parties, or whatever it was - which in turn led to familial strife, which in turn is now leading to a lawsuit blaming watching porn for psychological trauma.
I've been in two wars fuckers. I've been shot, I've killed, I've had friends killed - I know PTSD. Complaining that you get PTSD from watching porn (even fucked up porn) is like saying that watching Saving Private Ryan entitles you to entrance to American Legion and VA benefits.
I thought AT&T had some great points advocating switching away from a low-priced, unlimited data plan - so I switched. I realize not everyone will agree with me, and for those who don't - you can keep AT&T.
*laughing* I have an ASSLOAD of scotches on my bar - I noted the Fettercairn because its the prize of my current collection (forlornly down to 1/4 of a bottle), and I noted the two JWs because they're fun.
1. The reason for having the two of them is a fun story to tell scotch drinkers. 2. I don't actually drink it; it's there to decorate my bar. 3. My go-to scotch is Deanston 12 year. 4. My backup go-to scotch is Monkey Shoulder. 5. My backup backup scotch....
There's a Macallan 18 year on there as well, and a nice crystal decanter with matching glasses full of Clan Macgregor Scotch.
I do drink scotch. However, as a scotch drinker, one does not refrigerate scotch.
On my liquor bar I have...
1. Johnny Walker Blue Label. 2. Johnny Walker Blue Label (full of Johnny Walker Double Black for people who don't know scotch or think it should be mixed or have ice in it). 3. Signatory 1988 Fettercairn (Bottle #211 out of #216)
In the fridge I have....Milk.
In the freezer I have two little metal cubes that can be used to chill scotch if people so desire.

Well, you definitely weren't first, but I'll grant you that you're retarded. At least you have that going for you. :)
It's a small start on a long needed road of reform. At least they're having the discussion.
I'm having fun watching myself get modded down hard. =D
