So your plan to fix the income inequality in the US is that everyone working unskilled jobs should suddenly get skilled jobs and magically make more money? Holy bubble, that's just not how the world works.

And extra douchey on your part to insult those people doing the hard labor that keeps the wheels of the economy turning. I hope someday Mike Rowe finds you and gives you a coal tar and raw sewage enema.

Why not just insist any person hired on an H1B receive a salary the SAME as the the equivalent in the company? That's what I do, and guess what - it works great and everyone is happy with it.

Just like pretty much EVERYTHING this administration and all of those who support it are pushing for - they don't actually know ANYTHING about the details or have lived the issues. H1-B's are just plain not a problem right now in the US tech market, it's another step in the fascist playbook trying to demonize "foreigners".

Where did LG get a pass? It's required to pass RF transmission standards, not "receiving" interference. The law is to prevent products from interfering with other devices or causing harmful radiation, not sucking as a product. That one's up for the tech/consumer review sites to trash it...

If you want to get teckienical, the problem is RF interference.

For all we know a cordless home phone, microwave, or cell phone sitting under the monitor could screw it up. In any case, something wasn't properly RF shielded...

No, really, the only ones saying this are those trying to trivialize the horrible things he's already done.

So, I wouldn't call you a doublenazi at all. Just a regular Nazi.

Do you have any proof of this? I think a few hundred million people have been following Trump's statements and actions pretty closely for the past year and there hasn't been many indications he has any concept other than his own identity...

Wow, there are so many incorrect statements in this sentence it's hard to know where to begin...

No Flash-based STBs/TVs succeeded? Many Vizio Smart TVs and BD Players, several cable STBs, as well as some other brands from circa 2009-2014 used embedded Flash for significant parts of their UI.

And no one is embedding an HTML5 rendering engine into an app? Are you fucking kidding me? First, Apple (iOS - since they have no control over Macs, obviously): what do you think a WebView is? And second, everyone else (since WTH does iOS really have to do with this discussion): there are literally hundreds of millions of TVs, STBs, and BD/DVD players that embed HTML5 engines. All Samsung TVs in the past 5 years and LG TVs in the last 3 years have done this. And there are thousands of apps on PCs/Macs that do the same.

Here's one popular framework used by a ton of PC apps: http://electron.atom.io/

It's pretty amusing how definitive you are about everything you state while obviously knowing nothing about the field...

I guarantee I have written more "code" to embed Flash and know more about Flash than you do. I have ported it to several set top boxes & TVs and was using it to develop rich Internet apps (email, photo browsers, news feeds, etc) back in 1998.

HTM5 requires an HTML rendering engine and Javascript interpreter just like Flash requires the flash rendering engine and Actionscript interpreter.

You can embed HTML5 rendering engines into apps just like you can embed Flash rendering engines. There is nothing more inherently secure in either approach.

EXACTLY! Just what do people think the *deep* in "deep learning" means? I (and I'm sure many here) played around with 2-3 layer networks 20 years ago, and while fun, they just can't perform real world tasks. Every layer you add can exponentially increase the connections. Once you start trying to emulate "human intelligence" you are literally talking thousands of "layers" (though at that point we are beyond even what is currently comprehensible).

What you are thinking of is NOT "AI".

What the F are you talking about? That was the only thing I actually *agreed* with...

I guess either you totally misunderstood the meaning of the AC's comment (HTML5 can replace Flash) or you totally misunderstand how Flash works ("standalone" = AIR, which is probably worse than running Flash in a secure browser like Chrome as it provides even more access to OS features).

Really, just going to quote your fearless leader, Trumpkin?

Do you even know what the initials SJW means? And if you do, what about fighting for social justice is an insult? Boggles the mind how people try to use equal rights advocacy as a slander. I'm sure you think MLK, WEB, SBA, etc are all "goddamn SJWs". But go for it, I guess, if you have to hate...

Since you seem to know the basics of ANN-based AI but not the details, check this article out to get into the current decade, it's a good overview of how much resources it really takes to do ANN right: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/1...

Summary is: sure you can do really crappy NLP locally, but what Google has started doing is at another level entirely. And that's not even at the level that will be required to really get "intelligent agents" to be truly useful. The limiting factor to ANN right now is computing power (and/or much more special purpose hardware). That's the reason it was nearly abandoned 20 years ago and revived recently - it was impossible with the previous concepts of "supercomputers", etc and now only with massively distributed computing has it been possible to actually simulate the multilevel networks required.

Do you just not know anything about this very publicly discussed topic, or are you one of the douchebags who actively discourages accepting commits from women or others outside of your social circle?
