Wait 'till they hear about what's being stored at 2300 Empire Ave.
Though it's pretty clear that Hollywood is in self-destruct mode at this point so it's hard to blame the property owners when the economy is headed towards only making weapons and lattes.
Too bad The Message has shifted the business climate towards death merchants.
By time October comes around there may be new demand for the microwave pyrolysis methods of reducing plastics to petroleum feedstocks.
If the editors here are to be believed California has so much solar power and plastic waste that they don't know what to do with and gasoline is already approaching $8 there due to the foolish wars and foolish taxation.
IIRC the heavy plastic chains could help with the disastrous heavy crude shortage, especially. Chemical engineers, please correct.
It's a strange fight. The robots sometimes seem unaware of where their opponent is, facing the wrong direction or throwing kicks and punches in the air.
Not strange if you've ever played a fighting game against someone not into computer games. They learn quickly that by just mashing buttons randomly they can often get a win without actually learning anything about the game. Same principle.
I have to wonder if the geniuses who started these services ever consulted cab companies and drivers before the fact to have a better understanding of what they were taking on.
Of course they didn't. The name of the game is "disrupting an industry". Because on paper and in investor pitches, everything is straightforward, simple, and was practically waiting for them.
That reality is more messy, has more edge cases, doesn't always follow your process, is something you don't tell the investors and don't consider in your service until you've had the chance to cash out.
It's almost as if having humans around can sometimes have advantages.
But I'm sure this'll just be seen to add one more robot to the robot taxi. A humanoid co-pilot bot?
Yup, there's also the time factor.
There's an important study of boys at age six being diagnosed with ADHD.
At 6 yrs 1 month the odds are 50% higher than at 6 yrs 11 months.
Because they're both "age 6" but in boys that year is huge in development and all metrics are against the age-appropriate standard.
If you're on WoW or Roblox all your waking hours you will have retarded development vs. somebody who is in the world.
So you'll be more ADHD for a 15 yr old if you mostly miss age 14.
"Trust the experts" and sheet.
Nobody is that "stupid" in those departments.
The question should be what was the quid pro quo?
We can imagine what the PLA got out of it but what favor did Microsoft get?
And how high up the chain did it go? Who specifically approved the arrangement?
At least Microsoft probably has Windows 11 "backups" of the hard drives of anyone who might think of bringing charges.
Not sure if that strategy can be called stupid. Lots of other words apply.
"One Nation Under Blackmail" is a popular phrase.
Yeah, so if this is the cover story what other heat signatures might they be looking for?
It's not immediately obvious to me but something we should understand.
Detecting Zizians would help prevent these forest fires but it would be quite hard for a satellite to do that.
And related to Authors and others, yea they got robbed, but when it comes to LLM generated material not sure how it gets stopped now.
That's not an argument.
"Yeah, that guy is dead now. We have a pretty solid idea who did it. But not sure if that'll make him alive again, so let's not bother with catching them."
Your link - seriously?
"Tobacco giants say"? Dude, they said that smoking is actually healthy for a few decades. I'd trust my cat around buckets full of her favorite treat more than those companies.
I keep hearing things like "my grandmother got so confused, I set her up on Zorin/Mint and she couldn't tell the difference."
The more people just use their PC's to get on websites the less they seem to notice if they use Windows or Linux.
It doesn't matter if it's bad - if China and Russia agree it's bad you have to be for it.
You can never agree with China because they have a totalitarian AI Surveillance Police State there so you must support a totalitarian AI Surveillance Police State here.
If you are against techo-feudalism you must be one of them Putin Lovers.
- The New York Times / Langley, apparently.
I'm amazed to find your comment is an isolated example of reading comprehension and critical thinking.
Many others are 'accepting the premise' and 'entering the frame' of the LA Times weirdos.
Didn't expect that today.
Why is that desirable?
Because the cost to society is paid not by the smokers but by all of us. And health care costs are only the tip of the iceberg.
Cull the least smart and self-restrained.
There's no culling here. Both doom scrolling and smoking kill you so slowly that evolutionary it doesn't matter.
Just be careful; a few old IBM sites had toxic waste problems. It sounds like they were just turning off the lights and water and walking away from these.
One woild hope everything was remediated but I wouldn't bet my own safety on it.
As you will see, I told them, in no uncertain terms, to see Figure one. -- Dave "First Strike" Pare
