Ridiculous "argument". You and your puny gun against organized forces, especially the military - laughable! The only one your privately owned guns threaten are other citizens.

See Arab spring. It does not matter how many people go out in the street, unless the elites voluntarily give up control, as happened in East Germany (which I experienced). The only thing that matters is if influential parts of the elites wa

> scarce resources What now??? Russia is one of the most resource-rich countries on the planet! They are just very inefficient in doing anything with it. The country and all its people should all be among the wealthiest on the planet.

That's the problem with solving a casually made metaphor instead of sticking to the original question. Since when is AI assisted coding only when you do 100% AI and not a single line yourself? That is only the extreme end! Same with th

Nobody "waved it away"? What is at work is that you cannot treat it like electrical charges and say that the sum is neutral (and even there distance matters, such a statement would only be within a very small distance). What happe

It is beside the point, but > I think AI will be far more impactful is not correct IMO. Those are two very different areas. The impact of railroads on transport and everything transport-related cannot be understated. By now roads and c

That's where the surveillance and the militarized police force(s) come in. Especially the former now has reached extraordinary levels, given that almost all communication now is easily trackable. Compare that to when we still had revol

Maybe when the government and the shareholders start setting an example and hold the bosses and capital owners accountable, and reward instead of punish the whistleblowers, and when their are enough jobs so that losing the one you have is n

So... I remember math including doing quite a bit of geometry by hand and with real tools, at least initially. "Math" is not just the symbol stuff written with a pencil, or with a keyboard. The mechanical analog computers of old (

I only use it sparingly thus far, and for small things, but I don't find it depressing at all - but timely. All those many, many languages, frameworks, libraries, APIs and there many many iterations, soooo much time lost on minute deta

You are looking at it from the individual's PoV, but the OP is using the bird view from high above. It is the total amount of effort deployed today already to provide all the existing AI services, which is enormous. Data centers, elect

I would buy that argument if it was deliberate, but the consumers in this case are passive and just have to endure whatever is set before them. Few even try changing the available settings, possibly apart from the most basic ones. In a Gree

Never mind the battles and action scenes, just any scenes with normal movement of the camera. There is a lot of panning in the initial scenes of The Hobbit (opening scene is the fall of Erebor). I watched that movie initially with the new h

As a former child, I'm not sure I would have wanted the adults mimicking my behavior. Back then I loved the occasions where the adults and us kids got together, such as festivities, and I got to hear their stories. They were all inte

IMO "just reporting what they see" is a solution at all. I tried looking at messages through that angle, and too often there is very important context that you need, or the message's content does not make sense, or becomes so

It is not CloudFlare that is ruining the Internet, but the spammers and attackers. On the second level, that catching and punishing them is impractical or even impossible depending on their location. Businesses were perfectly fine to accept

I had to look twice, and then check Wikipedia, when I saw "1888-1993" there. * 13. Mai 1888 in Kopenhagen † 21. Februar 1993 in Kopenhagen That's 104 years, 9 months, and 8 days!

I find it strange you didn't latch on to the original comment, which has the exact same problem you complained about, but reacted to the response. The best action is to ignore threads and sub-threads you don't care about and leave

> China and Russian both have plenty of problems in their home fronts and surrounding areas. Do you know how Russia got so large? They started out small. They solve such problems by doing the one thing they have always done: expanding.
