I’ve found this to be especially true of the great business minded devs that I’ve come across. They’re not giving you crap for free. Pardon my French.

Perhaps The Onion should ask - who gets most promotion of this? Well, we’re all talking about the onion. And I, personally, haven’t read onion content in a long, long while. So this kind of put them back on the radar for me. But I could b

Or, to rephrase this as a question: Is it ethical to spam another democracy with millions of chatbots pretending to be citizens of that country—if the effect is to manipulate those citizens to [take any action advantageous to US national i

I was giving 2 hypothetical examples. If someone grows up rich, or if someone grows up poor. It won't matter what you teach them. Nor will it matter their morals if they go out into a world where corruption is pervasive and corrupt

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Not just the circumstances you grew up in either. You can grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth, or poor as a church mouse. You get imparted the best morals in both cases. And you'll still be prone to participate in corruption give

Kind of agree here. It's clear if you pay attention, that China's putting inordinate efforts into other places. Africa is one example. (Probably the principal example.) So they clearly have ambitions that lay outside of Asia. No o

Tariffs are always good for someone. Just not most people. Is it good for anyone who wants to manufacture chips in China. Obviously, yes it is good for them. But it is not good, in the short term , for people who want to buy chips in Chi

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Wait. What? Serious interest here. Can anyone else verify that the Chinese don't have the ability to develop and manufacture these chips? That's stunning. I had no idea that was the case. Or is this just a, "they don't m

Well that's a knife that cuts 3 ways though. What I mean is, think about the addressable market comprised of the people who want to use the watch without iPhone. I think sometimes we underestimate the number of people out there who d

I can see that. It confuses me mostly because North Africans seem, at least to the eye, far more similar to Arabs than they seem to sub-saharan Africans for instance. Arab influence in North Africa being so much more strong than the influen

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Slightly off topic, but what's the difference between North African and Arab? Are Egyptians, Algerians, Libyans etc not real Arabs? How are they classified technically speaking?

Well, we did have slavery. So I'm not sure I would necessarily call everyone since the Mayflower immigrants . Let's just say there has been a lot of movement of people into the US on a population adjusted basis since the Mayflowe

Um.. because as UniverseHacker stated at the outset, that's a time tested method of gaining power. It works. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trump is the new President isn't he?

Both of you are taking these blatantly extreme narratives and putting them ot as though they were fact. The reality is that immigration is not all good for the average person. Similarly, it's not all bad for the average person either.

?? Doesn't that mean if they used data created by, (or even the data of ), anyone in the EU, that they would want to not release that model in the EU? This sounds like "if an EU citizen created, or has data referenced, in any p

Are you implying there are no use cases for matrix multiply? In any case, the two main deep learning packages have already been updated so for the place this change was almost certainly targeted for, your complaint is answered. I'm jus

Linux doesn't give you privacy guy. If you're using the web, your privacy is about your browser and your ISP, not your OS. At times, it's even about how you use your browser. No browser will save you from telling google too m

Huh? How old are you? "Bro" has been gender neutral for over a decade. Males and females under the age of 25 call each other "bro" all the time.

You still have massive downsides to new cotton or wool clothes. There's just less of the micro plastic downside. Clothing is just a place where we take a massive hit on everything from carbon output to micro plastics. Another issue is

I don't know if anyone would mock you, but no, it won't last 100 years. Not without a whole lot of work and a lot of things going exactly right for a hundred years. Also, why, on earth, would anyone in Kenya need solar energy from

Not quite how it works. (At least, not in the US). Firstly, not just any FBO is a point of entry. Which brings us to the second point, the entire reason for designated points of entry is so that the customs officials can be on site already.

Well, in fairness, Britain would have the right to demand the artifacts be returned. Please don't shoot the messenger here. I'm just saying hypocrisy doesn't negate legal rights. I'm American, so no dog in the fight, but

This is the real issue. It's easy to talk big, but once you run up against the Constitution in such an obvious manner, it gets tricky. The NCAA was stripped of a lot of its power in a single disastrous session in front of the Supremes.

To be fair, poverty builds character. So applying our "Tough On (the poor who commit) Crime" logic: if even poverty was unable to prevent that person from stealing food when hungry then they are clearly irredeemable. /s

Huh? They were a little funny. I mean the guy's right. 45,000 "trailblazers"? Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's like, what? 40-45 Marine Corps battalions?
