It is really depressing that honor and integrity means nothing. Do whatever you want and while claiming the opposite. If it blows up, hire a specialized PR company and pretend nothing happened.

Seems like good place to work. Complaining you are being bullied? Let's hire a company to bully you some more, this time professionally.

I wish anti-vaxxers stopped trying to insert themselves into every discussion. It is tiring. We are talking about procurement of new vaccines and whether this additional shot is actually helping or whether this is due to the fact that Pfi

If you are incompetent buyer that is kind of your problem. Governments don't have "buyer protection". But, typically, governments have armies of people at their disposal and some of these people are experts that can read and

> It’s incredible that we even have to state that. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, full stop. How is that bad? When you go to a car dealer, you know he has an incentive to sell to you. Is it bad? No, it just is . It doesn't me

You seem to have a bunch of knowledge on the subject. Can you explain where you have this knowledge from and maybe explain a little bit more? For example I wasn't even aware that actual method of vaccination makes any difference and I

I fully disagree. This is important topic and they definitely have first hand expert knowledge. It is up to us (meaning our governments) to require proper documentation for this and make our own minds based on it.

I gave it up voluntarily. I had no need for it for a time and so I just returned it. I don't understand the idea of having arbitrarily limited amount of numbers and selling them. A lot of companies just got them for free and are now se

20-some years ago I was a student and an admin in a dorm that housed some 200 people. Each had their own PC and direct, symmetric 100Mbit/s access to the Internet with public IP and no filters whatsoever.

Wow. And to think that 20 years ago I had /16 for free and did not even think to keep it. I always thought IPv6 is just around the corner.

Yes. When you type 8 characters per second, it makes no sense to have to unglue your hands from the home row. On the other hand I find that raw typing speed has barely anything to do with development speed.

I see nothing conflicting. "Software" is much more than just ability to write a small BASIC program. I have "been in software" for quarter of century and I am still constantly learning as if I was beginner. Though having

That's exactly what I thought up without having any experience in the area. So, basically do what a person would do -- identify simple features visually and then consult the book to go through decision tree to figure out what you are l

Normally you try to think and reconcile it with knowledge and experience you already have. The problem is when everything you have ever learned is suspect.

Isn't it exactly the same problem rather than opposite of it?

It has been true only to a certain level. Photos can be faked and videos can be mislabeled, but as long as it happens it small enough number it is possible to have people point it out and make a fuss about it. This changes when individual p

It is an important feature. For plants, users will immediately see that the answer is wrong but for many other things (identifying suspects automatically) it might not be as obvious. As a bonus if the algorithm can tell it can't identi

It is also so devastating that you can no longer believe anything published online, even if it looks legit. This is going to be one more dimension to misinformation on the net. Now you will see videos of politicians saying something and eve

AIs are useful for "fuzzy" problems, but are not very good at doing precise things with high reliability. Every plant has baked in restrictions on how it grows. If you can identify separate features of a leaf and how the leaf grow

Nice concept. Unfortunately, I have tried to identify some of my plants but it could not identify correctly a single one. Just an endless procession of at best similar plants, most of the time completely dissimilar. I think this is another

For a guy who can cite names and dates you show very weak understanding of history. Technically both Belarus and Russia area also democratic countries. Both countries have this written in their constitutions.

Oh, then we mistunderstood each other. Though I should have noticed, it is not possible to run 1000k in a day. Maybe you could, but you would need to have flat terrain and maybe something like a... bike:)

There exists no system that is best in all situations. Case in point, a system that does not care about rights of their inhabitants is usually much more effective at running large scale projects. For example, China just deciding to shut dow
