We will have our fully autonomous cars when we get our flying cars.

The real problem is that the HK tycoons and the HK government control the real estate market in HK, making the average people lives miserable as most of them can't even afford a dinky apartment. That's the real issue but the average HKer are instead mostly brainwashed by the media to realize that's one of their root cause of the suffering. So the standard of living already for most of the low/middle class already sucks (despite whatever "standard" you see in some fancy report), it remains to be seen whether China can tackle the issue of HK real estate.

Intel will add a new additional attack vector in their CPUs. Your CPU hardware should NEVER be a place to add anti-ANYTHING; it has one job to do and that's it.

Won't surprise me if Skynet will be built and/or funded by the US military. From that sense it'd be the gravest threat to humanity.

It's always the others who did it, whether it was the Jews, the blacks, the Russian, the Chinese, the Muslim, the Mexicans, the Whites, the Conservatives, the Liberals, the other sex too, it's always the other side but never your side.

Typical western fake news; I hope one day the sheep wakes up and fuck you over. I won't be holding my breath though, given how pervasive that MSM try to push their Anti-China narrative.

Tell me this is a peaceful protest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

They even attack an old man who just happened to pass by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Or a random report who happens to be Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

By large, the original protests in 2014 were pretty peaceful and initially the protests started fairly peaceful but it has definitely descended into riot/violence later on. But let's just pretend all these are fake, and reality and fact doesn't matter. Keep drinking your Kool-aid.

*Cough cough* Points at Amazon and Google..

At not that distant past, most of humanity lived in small tribes/villages where anonymity did NOT exist AT ALL. Only at some point in the last 1-2 millennia did human started to live in large enough city where there was any form of anonymity, even though it was still the exception than the norm until recent recorded history.

The idea that there is only one version of "truth" in an Encyclopedia; written by someone is the actual issue; as we fully know that at any given moment on any remotely controversial topics that they will always be biases. For most of history, what we know as history has always been written by the victors. With the age of Internet, we no longer need to be subscribed to a single version on any given story. It will be up to you to discern what you write is the actual truth, or whether it's just someone else version of the truth. Human affairs will always have biases; I would rather that we collectively own up to these biases.

Lol may as well write to Santa or God while you are at it; and at least with Santa you may get a generic reply back.

Raise fare, cut unnecessary/underused service and clean up the subway. It is disgusting.

As an (one of the few?) Ubuntu LTS user; I welcome this. I am on 16.04 and had to look up that support ends at 2021; which by then I am fine with upgrading to another LTS version (next-next LTS of 20.04 would be out by then). So I think while 10 years support sounds good; in practice the current 5 years cycle is more practical and quite adequate.

While I agree in theory with you; I think in practice anything greater than 10 years is not practical. Providing support has a definite price to pay in terms of resources and providing for a decade is an extremely long time. Just think back to what the computing landscape by going back every 10 years ago will make this obvious.

Would like to see in the future for Microsoft to partner with Canonical and just sell Ubuntu laptop; MS can even buy Canonical if they wanted to. But for Linux to get mass adoption at the desktop level that would help a lot.

Hell will freeze over before Oracle do any good; their corporate culture and legacy has been toxic.
