History?
History is scrap books written by the victors. To get behind that façade, you need to go DEEP, and quite frankly most people don't want or will ever go deep in history.
Scince Fiction goes Deep, but presents it in a plausibly deniable way.
Look at ASmimov's Econometrics. Who could possibly believe that there is a foundation out there that is controlling world events to eventually provide for the better good, even if it isn't all that good right now.
I mean, economics and psychology are weak sciences that could never be used to predict future conditions, right?
Well, I'm talking about ScFi, not shlock...
Try Stephanson's Seveneves for a good modern scifi
Or anything by George RR Martin, his short story collections are incredible.
Even GoT is about current social problems. It's an even better series if you read it as such.
Science Fiction is *always* about current social commentary, the science bits are nice, but truly just fluff.
right now Asimov's "Nightfall" should be required reading
For anyone who wants to see what SPU code looked like, here is a an old article of mine from IBM's DeveloperWorks on the subject:
Robots are coming to take over jobs regardless of whether the minimum wage goes up.
If anything, I'm actually surprised that there aren't already a chain of fully automated McDonalds kiosks, with just a traveling crew of humans to maintain and restock.
CBO’s finding that a $15 hourly minimum would result in 1.3 million jobs lost was a median estimate. CBO's upper estimate of 3.7 million jobs lost poses another test for Democratic centrists, many of whom were skeptical about the impact on local businesses.
Price meet demand.
Time to invest in the fast-food robot industry.
Isnâ(TM)t it against the AdWords TOS to be disingenuous with your advertising like this?
The burning down of the Library of Alexandria is so overrated.
All of the Alexandrian hipsters had long ago left it behind for the Coffeeshop of Alexandria.
It's very clear from the conext of Crowder's usage that he is being hateful about Maza's sexuality.
We want every communication to be black and white, but some areas of language use are very nuanced and we don't deal with that very well. It is especially hard for content moderators to deal with.
A gay man referring to himself as a "fag" might be playfully recognizing his ostracism from conservative society.
A conservative man calling out a "fag" might be intending hate and derision, calling out the person for ridicule.
This is designed for high end video editing, period. Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm will think nothing of buying dozens of these, fully loaded, to edit their next few movies.
$6k is an entry point. Apple obviously designed this beast with the high end in mind, then asked, "How can we strip it down to an 'entry level' model for regional TV studios.
And then, because they're Apple, they always want to have Good, Better, and Best options, with the Better capturing the lion's share of sales. So they'll sell a ton of the Better systems in Hollywood.
Recent investments will yield a slight profit.
