Sounds like a loser - out of the frying pan already on-fire and into another fire.

There are NO good bot accounts. Bots are never good. Period.

Good luck with that. Simple information theory arguments assure this will not work out so well.

Pretty much and especially if you live in a city - really no survival is possible. However, some in rural areas would survive - the odds would not be good but some would so humanity would survive the "eye of the needle" this wou

JIT supply chains have always been extraordinarily fragile. We saw a small version of this global situation with Katrina when supply chains emptied out in the South. Typically there is only 3 days worth of inventory in most grocery stores

That's exactly what they are! Seriously how is this not obvious?

I think what they actually want is: if it is x86, it needs to be a core. Currently most people are quite happy with 20 years of already having ARM as a core (SoC, FPGA, etc.)!

Sad. Because that's what "management" is: action by authority of position in the org chart. That's 100% NOT what leadership is. Leadership is action by people voluntary following the leader. It's a profound differe

That's going to end badly. But I'm only an EE.

The hard Xi-driven return to Maoism has dried up both funding and operational latitude for most large Chinese companies - tech or otherwise. Given Xi's family background, combined with his provincial lack of nuance, this isn't rem

Doing nothing is OFTEN the best solution to problems! Politicians generally don't understand this. Average people don't understand this. But it's still true.

Exactly. An entire 9-11 load of deaths in car accidents occurs EVERY MONTH ever since. The disproportionate response shows up the fraud of the War on Terror, Patriot Act and things like TSA SOPs at airports. You can compare it to any other

Familiar with that book. It's not so black-and-white, however. First it's based on a much older book that is essentially talking about "master-slave/master-serf" luxury and leisure of elites - 100% bullshit elitism.

Sadly true with modern family courts in divorce... that's why MGTOW exists and is radically growing.

by xyzzy21 5y ago
It sounds outdated but that's because "modern ideas" have tried to replace them. The fact is, you will be more successful if you can manage to have a more traditional relationship and home life - 50 millennia of human histor

I understand that's certainly true for most. It's just not true for ALL. And yes, that minority are those who: * have higher IQ or higher motivation/grit/work ethic or both * have a marketable set of skills - both hard

It depends on what other choices you make in terms of costs. If you are STUPID, you insist on living in hell-holes like California (LA or SF areas) and you lock yourself into foolish costs you can easily avoid. FOMO is an excellent and pri

No. They should avoid activities that are majority negative value to themselves, their freedom and their liberty. If you use social media, you are a fool. You are completing your own STASI dossier for FREE and WILLINGLY. You are aiding a

I agree. I vote: eliminate Facebook!

Not by the way they MISDESIGNED their entire site interaction, communication and editorial control system! True enough. Facebook management and engineering are all LAZY: technologically and morally.

Pre-rinse is useful, and particularly for older dish washers, while the pre-rinse mode on dish washers themselves is EXTREMELY useful - probably necessary to be actually water and energy efficient while still cleaning. Pre-rinse is general

No that quote is 100% wrong scientifically and logistically. But we humans, even today, often compare ourselves to Gods with infinite power even though that is no where close to possible.

Well duh. This is what all Coronavirus species do and have done for millennia. The idea that COVID could be "conquered" and eliminated is about as stupid as thinking Prohibition of alcohol cold ever work, the War on Drugs could e

How does an algorithm known TLE was illegal without holding a law degree and position on a state bar?? They don't and thus have no more legal authority to "know/id" illegality than they have to "know/id" l

This is why algorithm creators are as guilty as any executive that comes up is with stupidity like this. What happens to executives should happen to algorithm writers!

It's the same "eye of the needle" genetic resistance that ws seen with both Black Death and Spanish Flu. So people will be resistant in an almost magically bizarre way.

It's mostly NOT fixable. The problem comes from the sociological fact that groups differ from individuals in serious cognitive, sociological, moral and motivational ways. And as a general rule, groups of people DO NOT SCALE WITH SIZE.

NOTHING has changed at Intel. They have grand plans. They've tried these exact same grand plans a decade ago and failed badly. The culture hasn't changed. In fact the minority that warned of exactly what has happened to Intel -
