The article is an illustration of a journalist discovering the fact that as a journalist he knows not the slightest fuck what he is on about when he starts talking about the future of tech. It says nothing else about how the rest of us understand the future of technology though.

right?

TFA barely talks about actual technology or issues of "futurism"...

so much of what everyday people see in the media about tech is utter bullshit...IMHO it measurably costs us $$$

vote against whoever is in office currently and vote for their opponent most likely to throw them out

I can't imagine a more stupid, reductive way to vote.

If you see on TV that Tyson's brand chicken strips are being recalled, you don't go throw out all your bacon and ham cold cuts.

Republicans are the source of **every bad policy** in government now

Republicans are the source of **every reason why we can't change**

Vote them out.

Rep Congress forces government shutdowns **as a regular negotiating tactic**

Rep financiers and Congress hold gun to the face of American people..."pass our farm bill or watch your retirement die"

This is all about Republican obstructionism...that's the **only way** bullshit laws like this get into a rider on a Farm Bill

All Dem's can do is either **not have a farm bill** and a **shutdown government** or they can let the bullshit law pass, then fix it after people complain

That's the breakdown of the real situation, that's why this is the GOP's fault

The GOP is wrong on virtually all the issues b/c they operate for funding from donors, not to be competent legislators.

I'm going to second the request for a source...this sounds like something a redneck says at a dive bar in Charleston

this is a problem ****across academic disciplines**** and not in any way related to tech specifically.

dropping out of college is a reductive concept...and using people like Jobs or Gates as examples is patently foolish

if you realize your college **program** sucks, transfer to one that doesnt

if you realize your career goals cannot be reached through a degree, then drop out

if you want to have a **career** in tech, get a degree in tech

these stupid studies are so reductive & leave out so many salient factors...disregard!

jeez i'm trolling myself....i misread your post...holy crap...

sorry...you were agreeing with me and my previous comment will not make any sense

i need to just stop posting in this thread

I said:

"In ***unnatural*** concentrations anything is a pollutant."

You can't counter that.

ex: Salt.

Sodium Chloride...its food for crying out loud! Everyone has it in their homes! We give it to babies! How can it be pollution??? WTF?

Dump 1,000 of salt onto a field and it becomes fallow.

****THATS POLLUTION****

same with CO2

In ***unnatural*** concentrations anything is a pollutant.

Our modern industrial society makes by-products of type and/or **scale** that **hurt nature**

Scale is key. Nuclear waste is pollution b/c of its radioactivity (found in nature)...CO2 is pollution b/c of the **scale** it is being unnaturally produced

All pollution is harmful b/c it *distrupts nature's perfect system*

Pollution disrupts in many ways.

I've never understood the controversy...does anyone think that pollution isn't harmful?

Our modern industrial society makes by-products of type and/or scale that **hurt nature**

No one, absolutely no one, even the climate change "deniers" can contradict this fact.

It's about government regulation...that's the only thing that keeps companies from unscrupulously disposing of their waste.

Companies do not want regulation...that pretty much explains the entire "climate debate"

Chrometeachers need laptops, sure but it's not the essential tool of Chromeeducation.

For some Chromereason, I feel like TFA is taking benefits of ***USING ANY LAPTOP*** and recasting them as Chromebenefits of using one company's product

thnx for an informed opinion

if Google Glass's product development people had half the sense you do about everyday tasks the rollout wouldn't be so awkward

one thing I'd add is that all the benefits these people taut of using Google Glass are actually benefits that can come from using **any video camera**

you dont need Google Glass to take video

The best way to keep inspectors from looking the other way for cash under the table is to be able to see when they're looking the other way.

what?

google glass won't keep...um...people from bribing each other...they can just exchange the money at another time

it's good in a way that techies are so naive when it comes to criminality

this whole thing was some hot idea by some "product development" person who knows absolutely nothing about the **actual task**

yes...they could use **any kind of video camera**...including the old fashioned kind not strapped to your face

As an actor, she did a good job

totally subjective and highly debatable

I addressed your point **in my post**

I explained I was criticizing her acting choices and going off of **her own descriptions** of her professional choices & her approach to the role...that's totally fair game to criticize

as I said, i'm going of how she described herself in The Captians film, which came out about 3 years ago

if she just did the trailer that would change things...idk it seemed she narrated the whole thing b/c she mentioned going down the studio multiple times IIRC
