I think the jury is still out on whether any type of intelligence is anything but highly-complex algorithms. Where do you think the line should be drawn?

Once everyone has a shovel, or enough people have mined enough gold, either the demand for shovels or gold will collapse. A savvy shovel seller will be aware of that, but it sounds a lot like a bubble to me.

I don't have Jstor access so can't read the study, but does this consider the intended demographic of the supermarkets? Just some thoughts off the top of my head: I would imagine that clients with a higher median age in general pr

It's pretty hard to come up with examples of how something does not exist. I don't know if the article has been revised since it was posted, but now it uses proper nouns instead of pronouns. Another minor nit, verbs conjugate, n

So if you have a customer (A) whose current business is worth $80M to you, and you have a customer (B) whose business is worth $8M to you, you might look to consolidate some of your operations to try to get $88M of value out of customer A w

It does. You can download playlists on Apple Music (or even use your own files with it, a rarity in the post-cloud world). Maybe OP was talking specifically about the behaviour of Spotify?

Addictions do not have to be life destroying. Plenty of people are addicted to various things but are fully functional and live fulfilled lives. It’s a bit unfair to ask whether OP wants words to have any meaning when it seems you’re a bit

Sounds a lot like bullet journaling. If you can get past the washi tape and calligraphy brigade, and sprinkle a few reviews/mid-term plans, it’s actually pretty effective (at least I have found it so).

No I just mean it’s a bit of an implausible explanation and requires Russian citizens to adopt doublethink. Not that they’re not used to it, just harder in the internet age.

Russia has always (somewhat fairly) been vocal that since the collapse of the Warsaw pact, Nato has no reason to exist other than to defend against a potential attack from Russia. Nato have always acted as though that's true, and have

I think for some people it has the effect you describe, for others it made it important to get as many “friends” as possible to maximise the number of likes they get on each post, as though that actually means something.

In the UK? Yes. I think in the UK, most people drink most of their coffee at home rather than out at a Starbucks or similar. Some folks have a percolator or a cafetière or a fully automatic, especially younger people, but if I were to be in

I think that’s a good question. I see it as also possible it would reduce real-world offending. Today, seeking out images like that puts you on the definite wrong side of a line. A child was harmed to produce that image. You’ll face signifi

Brit here, an average cup of coffee would be around 1 heaped tsp of instant coffee in a 300ml mug with a bit of breathing room, say 275ml? But that would include the milk, so maybe around 200ml water and 75ml of milk. Would vary quite a lot

Hypothetically, let’s say these toothbrushes connect periodically to an API from which they fetch firmware updates. If you’re able to MitM that connection, you could deliver whatever you like as a firmware payload to the toothbrush. Or mayb

Yeah, Yandex do a lot of similar stuff to Google: Maps, Images, Mail, File Storage etc., and referring to them as 'just a search engine' is actually less useful than making the 'Google' comparison.

Tiger also has its own meaning, which makes the parsing even harder. Both 'tiger moth' and 'bat sonar' are noun phrases in which the first word is not the actual meaning of the phrase. So you have two of these weird noun
