This is why it's taken so long to make a World of Warcraft movie. They spent the last decade genetically altering babies to make them into very fast growing orcs so they wouldn't have to rely on CGI. Similar work was done with dogs, lizards and birds to create the fauna.
A more accurate post would be 'Totally made a killing betting the Chiefs would lose by at least 5 points because I spend a lifetime studying football and every relevant parameter I could model. Over the years I've refined my model down to the point that I'm very confident I'll win any bet against somebody who simply bets emotionally because they want their team to win.
Go read up on the French Revolution, Napoleonic wars and in particular the Crimean War. If you want to say the Civil War was an exemplar of 'Total War' knock yourself out, if you want to say it was invented there you're fundamentally wrong. The generals were looking at what was going on in Europe which in turn were learning from other parts of the world (particularly lessons they were learning from the far east).
Saying the Civil War started it shows that you view the world through a US prism.
What, Total War was essentially invented during the US Civil War ?
We go to great lengths to claim we invented pretty much everything under the sun but there's a few thousand years of warfare that predates the Civil War that suggests humans were quite aware of how to engage everyone on both sides indiscriminately. About the best you can do is suggest that the late 1700s and early 1800 showed Europeans giving up on their brief dabbling in nice friendly fights and returning to what we as a species do best.
You and I apparently come away with very different views of that phrase. I don't see it as an argument for standing pat, I see it as evidence of progress.
Things are generally better now in terms of peace, civil and human rights world wide than they've ever been before. Could they be even better, absolutely but at least the trend is positive.
If you based your view of the world on the news, trending topics or political vitriol you'd be convinced that we're headed to hell in a hand basket, that WWWIII is probably sometime next week and human rights are being trampled more than ever but that's demonstrably not true.
We're not talking about Christians shooting people trying to get help at a planned parenthood though I agree it may have been a mistake to let them in so they could force their twisted religion on folks. This is about an unassuming child being unlawfully arrested.
Quick follow up because editing isn't an option. I sort of jumped the gun and replied to a statement you weren't making.
I agree that the day probably will happen and agree that there will be outrage and hand wringing. My post above was actually picking a side in that discussion and not a response to whether there would be such a discussion.
For many scenarios where a human will have to fave that decision the autonomous car never will because it would have chosen option C, avoid situation long before it became an issue. Take the Oklahoma parade a few weeks ago, an autonomous car would not have had to decide should I kill the drunk driver or plow into the parade.
But lets pretend that the car has to decide and chooses poorly and wipes out 10 people in a crowd including little kids. How is that a problem if across the set of all autonomous cars 100 such occurrences were avoided. Choices should be made on relative merits, X is better than Y. Not X is perfect or X is imperfect.
It would not surprise me if most of the devs for that site had to either create that site and want to hang themselves afterward or upset some god awful Public Outreach Division Head who decided to take a roll in specifying how it should work.
You missed the bit where it's in the east pacific. Historically the west pacific typhoons are stronger. It's like comparing a tornado in California to ones in Kansas. An F4 tornado in LA would be a statistical anomaly where as Kansas gets one pretty regularly.
This post is only interesting if you have a turtle's grasp of logic.
On a side note, nobody mentioned lynching in either article that I could find. Here's the context in which the author introduced the rich/black analogy.
"“You can come up with lot of words and sayings about inheritors, not one of them is positive: spoiled brat, born with a silver spoon in their mouth, trust fund babies, all these things,” she said, adding that it’s “easy to scapegoat the rich”."
Yeah, the poor sure are a mean spirited bunch. I'd definitely rather be literally lynched (that results in death btw) than accused of having oddly shaped rare metals in my mouth.
Agreed. If somebody had asked me how many employees twitter had I don't think I'd have guessed more than 1000. I'd be vaguely interested (as in I'd read it if it were in front of me but I won't go looking) to see what the employee distribution was by department and role.

Probably best if I'm just taken out back and lethally shot. It's the only way I'll learn.

Much like the tides. Tides go in, tides go out, how does it work, nobody know.s. At least according to papa bear.

A flare won't work, methane has horrible eyesight and won't be attracted by it.

I was going to post a big 'go fuck yourself' rant but I see it's been taken care of by the rest of the community.
Thanks.
Here's a thought. Use your own brain to figure out what is and isn't misinformation.
Muzzling a certain form of information because it might cause you (or others) to form an opinion you don't like is not a solution.

I don't see the issue.

The basic way to make money is to tap into stupid. Candy Crush simply hit a vein.

The problem in this particular isn't so much constant height as it is constant latitude and longitude.
Just weld some bomb releases on that badboy and let it do it. It will be cost efficient having only one airplane model
It's a joke but not the funny kind. The OP actually appears to be serious given his response.
Yep, basically a 100 mile (or more) wide F4 tornado. Most buildings aren't really build to take that kind of hit.

We can bring them ad "free" TV and small pox. Boy won't they be pleased.
