Comment Re:Trolling is necessary (Score 1) 457

No, I do not. the act of trolling is more or less a sanity check. What do you think people do when they can't take the trolling and also can't swallow it? They lose their civility and do stupid things (and arguably either stir unrest or backfire in most cases) which either tips society into chaos or eliminate themselves in the process. For those who can take or swallow it, lives go on.

The system is at steady state (photons are already at the lens/detector) by the time you start, so when you do, you are taking the photons that are closest to your detectors first, whether they are in front of the lens or next to your detector. What I am interested in is that at trillions of frames per second where do you get hundreds of TB/s to PB/s of bandwidth between camera and storage? I do not recall stuffs you buy at a store go that fast.

From the article:

Though Siri now responds to such queries with a "That's very funny", the software at the time actually responded with the following:

What kind of place are you looking for? Swamps. Reservoirs. Metal Foundries. Dumps.

I am saying that the fact that they changed it is implicit that they are telling us what not to do. This is in common with what Google and MS (reporting someone to the authorities is a good way to tell them not to do something) do but not identical.
If you need a more accurate comparison it is probably the censorship of search engine results in this case. And with this precedent the problem will be other places will start the censorship of search engine results in order to tell you not to do something.
