> The first type is vastly more common than the second. Depends- you might not even qualify non-type-1s as sales people. Especially the type that's trying to help you get what you need, and listen to you in the process.

Huh? The human not understanding anything is kinda the point of the Chinese Room argument...

It depends where you're coming from. The waltz has a very different rhythm to most other music. If you can tell (obvious) waltz music from (obvious) non-waltz music, you could identify the dance fairly easily. But if you do not know t

I'd say that web apps became a thing because Google really wanted them to be. They first tried with their browser plugin. That worked, but adoption wasn't good enough. So they ditched Google Gears and started developing a browser

I must be not quite following your explanation... In most of the EU, there are multi-party systems. From what I can tell, that is because of multi-member districts. Eg. The Netherlands has only one district for parliamentary elections (150

Oh come on. Its not as if they're showing you photos of what those folks look like in real life either. If you expect realism from an adult entertainment site, you might as well go buy a bridge or two.

Even if that were true, I really think the solution ought to be something else than "let's stop AI so that really poor women can be forced back into selling their bodies for sex".

Honestly, if more people wondered about who'll read what they write online, and whether it matters that those folks read it, the Internet would probably be a better place. I really don't care about youtubers using tools like this.

You're right about phones also being provided. With that in mind, I'd say: if your company and other places of business you tend to visit all go for this concept, I think it could work. But as long as the boss expects you to wo

Me, I already have a laptop. I'm used to working on a laptop. I'm used to having 2 screens in the desktop setup (one being the laptop's). I actively use that fact. Using only one device would mean a downgrade in my work setup

To expand upon that point: a new feature for smartphones that really takes off has to fall in one of two categories: 1. so incredibly convenient to always have with you, that everyone's willing to overlook shortcomings compared to dedi

You make an excellent point. Companies could eg. have 25yrs to make a profit. On the other hand: if an artist produces something that slumbers in anonymity for decades before it suddenly explodes into popularity and becomes part of the cult

> You’re young fit and healthy and you want to die? That is a logical impossibility. Mental health is a thing; your mental health is not okay if you're physically fit and want to die. My stance is that we should extend human being

I figured people listened to them while commuting. It seemed the best fit: lots of time, mostly little attention needed (except when you alight or are driving in adverse conditions).

Around here, cost of solar have risen recently. Even though there still is the stimulus rule that any surplus put into the net can be extracted later (ie., the net functions like a storage facility for any residential installation), recentl

A CFD analysis is based on a model - an abstraction of reality. If the CFD analysis found everything is okay, yet reality shows it isn't, I wouldn't trust the competency of the person behind the analysis.

> I don't think it's really popular here in the United States I recently read a longform interview of someone who married into the Pelosi family. Apparently, at least at those levels, a "vanity wall" with pictures o
