"We refer to the question: What sort of creature man’s next successor in the supremacy of the earth is likely to be. We have often heard this debated; but it appears to us that we are ourselves creating our own successors; we are daily

I think you should include the time to copy the data to the SD cards as a 1Tb copy is significant time.

I expect the meat lobby to craft many a vile hit-piece over the next 15 years as their market share is (ironically) carnivorously devoured.

Anyone who'll say something is amazing without saying what it is is trying to game you.

Culture is continuously created/reinforced by individuals. Technology has nothing to do with it really. All cultural change starts with individuals who then pass it on to others through their energy & effort, or by raising their ch

I have similar thoughts but state them rather more bluntly, that the US military is 20%~ a program for national defence and 80%~ a socially acceptable public-jobs program in a society which is phobic of "socialism" but nevertheles

Good thing there are no real problems left to work on in this world or this would be a gross mis-allocation of macro resources. (No judgement on you OP this is the situation we're in)

Dude come on, theoretical physics is harder than plumbing. We dont need to leap to the defence of plumbers here.

This highlights the risk of going all in with 1 company, especially with one area of your life like comms.

I feel like you mean this this is a joke but it I also feel one of the great unaddressed problems of strong AI - the human brain, optimized through evolution, still has a pretty large defect rate. On the march of progress it seems pretty li

For some reason its the ones with all the expensive equipment that get me. The MRI machine, rows of motorcycles - all presumably instant scrap. Obviously the human loss is greater, but that's not really the focus of these photos.

Yes there are poor people who work hard. There are also rich people who become crackheads. I never actually mentioned poor people I just said some people are screw-ups, which is true.

Believe away Dorothy, reality is a small % of the population, i.e. millions of people, are pretty much screw-ups. Welfare is the blanket solution for how we deal with it. Giving everyone BI and taking away peoples welfare is going to fail i

I think there should be much more focus on this kind of plan. People dont need income, they need housing etc. My concern is that if you swap out welfare and services for basic income inflation will eat away at it and sooner or later BI wont

> this is a really easy problem to solve. Support or create an open standard... We call it the tech industry but 90% of it is actually politics. Big money influences things the most but everyone basically looks out for their own interest

Your comment at OPs seem to be misaligned, or rather very aligned - you're arguing againt his point but you seem in agreement.

A small percentage of vehicles by sheer number perhaps, but not by miles travelled. An average truck is working 50 hr weeks, plus commute time for the driver etc. As opposed to your average car which runs twice a day for 30 mins.

Your last sentence is perfect. Get rich and get out. Probably the front and center thought of every tech worker.

The cognitive dissonance in marketing starts very early. I read this book cover to cover in a previous startup life (1) because it was a recommended first year college text in marketing. I have it in front of me right now. They define marke

by Jedi72 8y ago
There is a deeper truth that marketing people (like yourself I am guessing?) don't want to admit: what you do is wrong. To it's very core. You're attempting to take away people's free will, using the dirtiest tactics one

Where do you draw the line. If I throw up an open internet forum, am I responsible for administering everything that gets sent on it? If the Christchurch shooter had set up their own live-streaming box, who would we be getting mad at? Do yo

The difference is that in the case of programming, for the cost of some side-study you can get yourself a competitive advantage.

Did you read the article? You are not Google. If you ever do really need that kind of redundancy and scale you will have the team to support it, with all the benefits of doing it in-house. No uptime guarantee or web dashboard will ever subs

Amazon are pushing very hard to convince the next generation of devs who grew up writing front-end JS that databases, servers etc. are some kind of technical wizardy best outsourced, when a few weeks of reading and playing around would be e
