As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.

I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.

social engineering used in practice by the parent comment, now sitting at +4 Funny. Still waiting for that 1 autistic moderator.

Let the courts figure it out. If licensed car skins were an issue, Ubisoft could choose to all the skins with Lada's, and release the server protocol.

If it's a clone it can't be brainless, unless you lobotomize it. That's evil in itself. Even then it will still have to have a functional brain if you need the body to stay alive.

Torpedo this idea. Don't condone murder. Did this guy gets his idea from 'The Island'?

They will also be replacing the LED lighting in the schools with candles, and heat will be provided by hand-stoked coal furnaces.

You are correct. Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp) has an annual R&D spend exceeding US$40 billion. Five times more than the $7 billion (in today's money) quoted as the Bell Labs R&D budget.

One issue with the overall architecture (which is just statistical prediction) is that it can't really provide useful insights on why it did what it did. Which was requirement of expert systems back in the day.

Honestly, it seem like building better static analysis tools for finding these kind of problems is a better way to go overall. The tools could be more relaxed on reporting potential issues and allow more false positive versus focusing on reporting things that are certainly bugs, but still be based on a set of rules and patterns that can be used to explain the error in a consistent way.

If the study reported on how much time was spent using Windows overall versus Macs. Because that makes a big difference. If there was, say, ten times the usage of Windows than MacOS, then affects the overall uptime.

Without this, the numbers don't have the context to really make a lot of conclusion. Not to mention that this probably all self-reported numbers as well.

I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.

you know, living is harmful to your life, every day is getting you closer to death. Eating many foods is harmful, drinking many things, breathing the air in many parts of the world and during different weather conditions. Having sex may be harmful, it can degrade your quality of life in the long term.

There are millions of harmful things, you will die and everyone else as well. I am not proposing for everyone to do everything, I am saying - if you enjoy it, don't allow people to dictate to you, do it.

you do understand we live only once, what's wrong with porn, gambling and drugs? Enjoy it if you want it.

is that a serious comment?

ever heard of team drivers? they exist to avoid sitting idle for half a day due to regulations.
