Comment Exceptionally weak typing of data ??? (Score 0) 75

IBM technologists approached cancer medical centers, but "were frustrated by the complexity, messiness and gaps in the genetic data at the cancer center...

This sounds like a problem with data typing and attempting to translate between differing and likely mutually-contradicting [if not outright self-contradicting] weakly-typed data sets. Actually, if they wanted to do something interesting, they'd build an AI for classifying poorly typed data and then see whether the AI could make a best guess at matching up different pieces of data without necessarily having to shove square data into round bucket holes for data. But do not kid yourself, weakly-typed data spread out over databases from every manner of competing vendor is a phreaking disaster to try to work with, and will tax the patience of even the smartest & most experienced of human programmers. And then there's the problem of multi-dimensional data - no one can ever possibly hope to collect enough actual real world biological data to fill an entire multi-dimensional hyper-rectangular grid of data, so inevitably you're left with just a two-dimensional rectangle here and there, and no sense of how to fill the catastrophically overwhelming number of points on the grid with no known [or even knowable] data to assign to those points. [And that's about all I can squeeze into my allotment of two "P for Paragraph" tags.]

Comment And yet no one tries looking for the source... (Score 0, Insightful) 82

If no one can be bothered to look for the source, given an annual budget somewhere in the vicinity of seven to ten TRILLION dollars, maybe a few tens of thousands of dollars of which would be needed to purchase some quality microwave detectors, then what does that tell you?

BTW, I can't seem to use more than two paragraph tags per poast, without invoking the new ASCII art filter, so I guess whoever now owns /. simply doesn't want reader kkk0mmentary anymoar. It's a shame; /. used to have a least some very limited ability to abide discussion of these sorts of topics; but when it comes to betraying an ancient Anglo-Saxon tradition like Freedom of Speech, I suppose all them fiat shekels from the Federal Reserve are just too tempting to refuse. So this is how it ends: Not with a bang but with a wimper...

I thought it was gonna be a story about a tr@nny, but apparently it's about a chick with a suspiciously large nose and the last name of "Funk".

Kinda like how Jeff Bezos's mom is named Jacquelyn Geiss.

Just like DC madame Heidi Fleiss.

I think YKW I'm talking about.

Just in case your Moral-o-Meter is broken [or if you were never even endowed with a Moral-o-Meter at conception], there are very few decisions in life which you could possibly make that would be more evil than giving so much as a single penny to Amazon or any of its subsidiaries.

Whether it's purchasing Cloud Services at the corporate level, or purchasing Toilet Paper at the consumer level, you're sending your money straight to Massa Lucifer Himself, and you're creating either a business or a private life which is built upon a foundation of pure unadulterated Evil, from which eventually it will be damned near impossible to extricate yourself.

Comment 20 MILLION SYRINGES & NEEDLES - PACIFIC OCEAN (Score -1) 210

Which means that 20 million used filthy dirty disgusting chinese syringes & needles are being flushed straight into the Pacific Ocean every day.

Can you imagine being a vacationer [or a fisherman] in Korea or Japan or the Philippines when that crap starts washing up on the beach [or getting caught in your fishing nets]?

And to think that shitlibs were supposed to care about the environment...

PS: I hope that something in the ocean [maybe just the salinity itself?] is gonna kill off all the spike proteins. Otherwise you might be looking at mass fish deaths in that part of the Pacific...

Comment SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS & PHYSIOGNOMY (Score -1) 142

If the tiniest fraction of a second spent glancing at a picture of Mark Phuckerberg doesn't initiate an innate instinctual revulsion in your gut, and if your amygdala does not immediately make you abundantly aware that he is one of the single most evil hominids which ever walked the face of the earth, then congratulations, you've just failed the darwinian fitness test of modernity.

tl;dr== Always trust your instincts.

PS: My guess is that the amygdala-driven cascade probably doesn't function properly if you're on e.g. SSRIs [or marijuana or ritalin/adderall or any of the other myriad anti-human poisons of the modern world].

But I don't do any of that crap, so it's just a guess on my part.

Comment SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS (Score -1) 67



As I was saying in the recent Instacart thread, nowadays these corporations are pretty much uniformly led by sadistic psychopaths.

And if you spergs glance at a picture of Jeff "Bezos" [(((Geiss)))] and fail to immediately recognize the sadistic psychopathy in his physiognomy, then you spergs are existential darwinian failures.

Comment "actually get the cost of labor down to zero" (Score -1) 43

if you can actually get the cost of labor down to truly zero

If you can actually get the cost of labor down to truly zero, then either:

A) Money no longer has value, and has ceased to exist, but the laborers continue to labor just for the fun of it [beam me up, Scotty], or

B) Money still has value, ergo the unpaid laborers and their families will either quickly STARVE TO DEATH or else will have to be fed directly by their SLAVE MASTERS.

Comment EMPLOYMENT == SLAVERY (Score 2, Insightful) 43

These sadistically psychopathic crapitalists will stop at nothing to drive to the cost of labor to precisely zero.

To them, you are nothing but a line item on a balance sheet.

Pwn thyself, as an S-Corp or as an LLC, else prepare for a life of slavery in service of your crapitalist/kkk0mmunist overlords.

Comment Post-Menopausal Woman for a century w/ barren womb (Score 1, Funny) 109

Jesus H Christ, it's torture enough being around women for the last 25 or 30 years of their lives when their wombs are barren.

But there simply are not enough cats, cat litter, nor cat food to amuse the average barren female human for an entire CENTURY of childlessness [say, age 40 to age 140].

This literally sounds like a recipe for Hell on Earth.
