Right, it's better for business if people can multiply their productivity... which is arguably the reason computers were invented. If only someone could dedicate themselves to unlocking this power, maybe by studying how it works... but

The reason is there is a line of political thinking that divides people into oppressors and oppressed based on skin color, and assigns different standards based on it. It has become status quo and as a result the average left leaning person

I think it's all about incentives and right now the current policies are completely oblivious to them. You need to deter people from even thinking about living outside. Just make it inconvenient. This may seem cruel at first but I thin

I think they tried that in SF and it did not work at all. There's definitely a subset of the homeless population that would take advantage of something like that, but my guess is that those people are not really a problem to begin with

Maybe not the best example, although I still remember filters became huge around the same time the AI versions started emerging. Video transcripts are another example, or even text translation at this point. These are widely used forms of A

There's a term for this, or at least it's a known phenomena in the AI industry for a while. It's how AI becomes transparent after wide adoption. I'm still amazed at video filters that transform your face in real time, an

It isn't so much people can't defend themselves as much as not enforcing the laws, which in part happens because those in power hold a certain perspective of human nature. It seems they think humans are inherently good and that vi

Skid Row 2.0? Except a few years ago this had the potential to become the tech capital of the world. What a crazy downturn, and yet I don't see enough outrage from the people who are in the middle of it.

Interesting. I knew about the difficulties of the micro in BW but didn't think it would be the defining feature of the game like that. Maybe those elements can still be "fixed" while keeping the balance of the races, with sam

They could have fixed those issues without reinventing the wheel. Additionally you can make the game more accessible by adding all kinds of game modes for people to learn from, without touching the high level functionality the pros depend o

I think it's curious why this isn't a two way street. Every "non-engineer" I ask "why don't you code", basically responds with "that is not of interest to me". I'm seriously wondering why ca

In my opinion SC is a gigantic missed opportunity by Blizzard. SC2 should have just been a Brood War remake, while at the same time advancing the single player campaign story. Balancing an RTS must be the hardest thing in game design, and t

I feel it's also because programming has this quality to it, which is similar to some other creative arts, where it is deceptively hard. On the surface it's just knowing some rules and then writing some code, but as you gain more

If most women feel that way, then maybe that's a factor of why it doesn't improve? I'm just saying that basing one's decision on whether or not others have made that decision is self-referential and creates somewhat of a

The point is there is no evidence, and also there is no claim that I am making. It is unknown. The only claims of resurrections are religious in nature, which proves my point.

It's not empirically testable. Nobody has truly died and come back and no one can. Even if all religions are false it does not follow that there is absolutely nothing after clinical death. This is just a limitation of science, because

How else would we know what is true or false?! I'm so happy we have large for-profit corporations doing the hard work of telling us what is true and false. Surely they would NEVER make mistakes, and NEVER have any other interests in mi
