Context and history attach additional meanings and sentiments to some words.
Good luck coming up with an AI that can understand nuances of human culture when they're having trouble distinguishing between humans, seals and gorillas. You're literally asking the impossible here - that the algorithm be sufficiently advanced no the first go.
Ask Slashdot was useful once, but in the last few years it's just become an opportunity to abuse the questioner. Okay, sometimes the questions are really dumb, but how about we try to assume good faith and not expect them to write an essay covering every possible objection first? You know, kinda like Stack Exchange or something.
In fact, screw it, Slashdot is dying. I recommend asking the same question on Stack Exchange, you will get more helpful answers.
He is trying to get her to do something she (apparently) doesn't want to do - "she is just not very passionate about coding or IT in general", but because that "something" aligns with your ideological and political interests you whine about abuse. What *is* borderline abusive is the fact that he is probably going to get her to do something she doesn't appear to have an interest in doing.
If you want your messages to be logically consistent with themselves you should rather be pointing out that artificially limiting her choices is sexist. You won't though. Your ideology is more important to you than fairness to women.
Pensions? Social Security? Really, at my age, I will never have a pension when I reach old age. It's what I can save away in my retirement funds and build into a nest egg.
I don't expect to receive any free govt. hand outs. Nor do I expect to need it.
If people stop having kids, have fewer kids, etc, then you must also expect to have no healthcare, no food and no life. The ones having kids today are ensuring that you'll have a doctor on call when you are older.
Yes, she could have. But per-emptively assuming that to be the case will get you called out.
I've spent time at home with my kid when he was born. To be perfectly honest if she was in any way at all attending to the kid, cleaning/cooking as well as making sure that the child was properly stimulated, carefully watched, reasonably socialised, etc then she'd be dying to get back to work. The fact that she isn't so passionate about leaving the house say's that she was probably getting a lot of "me time' in those three years.
Hell, after a few months of stay-at-home, I was looking forward to working only 60-hour weeks. The fact that she appears to be wary of 40-hour weeks tells me that she is/was/ working significantly fewer hours than those as a stay-at-home mom. OP should clarify.
Hence, don't get married. Ever.
Wrong. You'll get screwed even worse if you're having a kid outside of marriage.
You don't want kids? Just as bad - you'll be considered married in CoP if you simply live with her for a long time[1]
Marriage with iron-clad prenup and no kids is currently the least screwed-over option for men. Take it.

Seriously, if you have enough cash and connections to even think about starting a company, or even doing one of these new-fangled "startups", then you're better off than 95% of the country and better of than 99% of the world.
Robin Williams was in the upper 99.99999% of individuals in terms of financial well-being. He still got depressed.
If total overhead increase of 200KB for compiled application size, and ~3-5MB memory overhead for non-invasive DRM is a joke, then yes. But not as much as MS extending support until 2024 to allow for the "migration to
Hopefully you move onto something you understand. Do you REALLY think you're the first person to think they've got good DRM?
He's been repeatedly asked for an executable we can have a bash at, and he's refused (apparently it's too much work). I've seen this on usenet waaaay too many times in the 90's. Some new aspiring unsung-encrypting-genius will pop up on comp.programming (or similar) and boast about their encryption algorithm without giving any details about it. Suffice to say someone usually managed to decode their ciphertext within a few hours.
This appears to be more of the same - at least the usenet newbies had the grace to provide something that we could attempt to crack; this poster, as sincere as he sounds, doesn't even want the free crack-testing that we are offering, so yes, he probably *does* think that he's come up with a DRM solution that is better than anything that came before.
Thank you for being a friend Traveled down the road and back again Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.
And if you threw a party Invited everyone you knew You would see the biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend.
This troll is finally not totally off-topic
That is not one of the two options.
You make a good point - BTC is only useful if you have no other options. That being said, there is not a single spot on earth where you have no options other than BTC, which makes BTC slightly less desirable than a chocolate teapot.
The greeks have looked toward bitcoin in the past.
That's news to me - when did *anyone* seriously consider bitcoin other than as a commodity?
Few currencies are backed by force.
Now you've got me curious - which currencies are *not* backed by force?
I'm a trained CNC machinist with a 3D printer and I think your attitude is stereo-typically ignorant.
Funny all the trained CNC machinists with 3D printers are all anonymous. The non-anonymous ones readily admit that if a thing you want is all of cheap, fragile and made of cheap plastic then a home 3D printer would suit you just fine, otherwise get a cheapie mill or lathe, or pay 10-20 times that amount for a decent 3D printer.
Yes it does matter. If a piece of software does what it is programmed to do, in the direct sense, then it is not AI. If it can learn to respond or act in a manner that is not directly programed to do, then you are seeing whiffs of AI.
Using these goalposts even real intelligence, nevermind AI, would never meet the standard - if it has been directly programmed to learn new responses, ilke humans for example, then you would still fail it as intelligence using this criteria.
How about if what you directly programmed it to do was to write code to handle unexpected situations/inputs/etc? Perhaps in an iterative fashion, using previously gathered data? Using code fragments that are reassembled in new combinations, testing each mutation for success against the inputs? Because AIUI this is what the majority of chatbots *currently* do - use previously acquired data to refine their outputs.
