I guess that's the "singularity" we've been told about - when the amount of bullshit is so massive that it completely overwhelms any attempts at making sense of anything online or find anything.

That thing isn't even "good enough". I mean it literally has label "dck" on it. Not even "dick", "dck". It's hilariously bad for anyone bothering to look for like 5 seconds, and yet it was s

All the help is great, but these numbers are tiny compared to what Russia is fielding. Thousands of shells sounds nice until you realize Russia fires tens of thousands per day, and is able to manufacture hundreds of thousands per month. 30

Setting cars on fire in SF seems to be new. Though in some other cities it happens more often, of course.

SF streets aren't exactly safe for cars for a long time. Breakins are extremely routine occurrence. So, this one time somebody decided to take it up a notch. No need to make Butlerian Jihad out of it.

Robot being over-cautious gets you a discussion on HN. Robot being under-cautious gets you an article in WaPo and discussion about how your company is ruining our civilization on all the morning news. Which one could hurt you more? Which on

You seem to labor under the delusion that whatever is the current state of the caselaw is always the pinnacle of human moral development and doing anything any part of this vast (also incomprehensible and many times contradictory) array of

I don't need anything like that, including paying any attention to an opinion of an internet ignoramus about what I am or am not. You can shove your moralization where the sun does not shine until you hear it click. I pointed out the d

The fundamental problem of self-driving cars in cities is that they are expected to be 100% safe. They could be 10 times as safe as regular cars, but it wouldn't save them from headlines of "robot car kills an innocent person&quot

"Indie filmmaker" is not going to be on Disney+ or AppleTV. If they get there, they are not "indie" anymore, by definition, they are corporate employees of a trillion-dollar corporation, and their income depends 100% on

Not necessarily. Big codebase in something like C, written in a rush, pretty much is guaranteed to have such things. We still are finding high-grade security issues in glibc (if you want some library to be clean, it's the one practical

I just point out your pretense at "fairness" is nothing but deception, and you have to resort to clowning and ad-hominem attacks as a response, which indeed proves you don't have any proper argument beyond "me want!&quo

That's a separate question. The fact that you want to do something doesn't make you automatically the owner of somebody's else money. You can't just say "I want to do X therefor it's fair that Elon Musk will pa

They target the same people who paid good money to chat with some poor guy in Bangladesh believing it's a gorgeous woman, so you tell me how gullible they expect their target audience to be.

Fake celebrity artifacts (like signatures, items, etc.) is a known form of fraud, and AFAIK there were prosecutions on it. I.e. if I sell you a book that is claimed to be signed by celebrity, but in fact it's my own signature, I would

Explain to me please - how millionaire is "extreme wealth"? Median household income in the US is about 75K. If you retire at 65 and plan to live to 85 (some live longer), you already need over a million to sustain that. That'

It's not "their share", it's your fantasy of getting part of their money that you're trying to impose. None of that money is yours to decide the fate of it.

Amazon has over 30k engineers. I'm sure there are mediocre ones among them - thousands probably. But for a lot of tasks in the company of Amazon's size, "I’d use this off the shelf solution" is exactly the right answer.
