Guess we know who you vote for don't we?

"Know any smart people."? Heh. I'll see your "top five" with a "#1" and your "STEM scholarship" with a full ride. And I now work at one of the top engineering firms in the world. But I bow to your 'expertise'.

College education is required for those going into the engineering field, which is what Panlantir is labeling their hires.

Ahhhh, tell me you didn't go to college at all without telling me.

I do NOT want someone who has skipped college engineering my cars, my nuclear power plants, my wind farms....

I do NOT want someone who skipped college treating my wounds, performing surgery, or teaching me advanced mathematics.

The number of people who can learn fluid dynamics, system mechanics, aeronautical engineering, nursing, doctoring, or any other real technical subject by just going 'online' is vanishingly small. Like - near zero.

Getting requested requires a certain threshold of suspicion. ICE does not. If they CHOOSE to stop you, they scan your face. And they can stop you for any reason they choose. There is a big difference between someone suspected of committing a crime being scanned, and ANYONE THEY WANT being forced into a biometric database.

This is out of control.

You stood on the shoulders of giants, using their technology for your accomplishments.

You got huge government contracts with enormous kickbacks.

And now you turn around, call the people who provided that technology and money "boondoggles"....

You are arrogant assholes. If it weren't for your your suck-up neo-nazi Elon playing in politics and paying off all the right people - you wouldn't be shit.

I have no patient for assholes like you. It's time to cut the government money off, cancel the contracts, and tell you to fuck right off. Then start restricting all that airspace you're being given to fly your satellites, and watch you crumble.

Take that a step farther. I'd argue innovation in video games isn't all that important either. Fun gameplay, and decent story telling is all you need.

Sure, Nintendo has made their bread and butter on putting out "unique" blockbuster games, like each new Zelda iteration.

But frankly, most successful games are simply games that are fun to play. These deveopers lose sight of that.

Comment And TP-Link is being investigated for a ban.... (Score 4, Interesting) 34

We have a problem. We don't make shit in the US anymore. Which means that innovation is happening elsewhere. TP-Link is on the table for a potential ban by the US government, but they are also leading the way in Wi-Fi development. So.... do you ban TP-Link and screw yourself out of early wi-fi 8 adoption? Or do you find some way around that by certifying certain equipment from TP-Link?

Are they dieing? Are they really? "Publishing" is going away, because there are so many ways to write, edit, and market books yourself. Did this study look into the number of e-books that are being sold, and shared? I agree that reading literature is slowing. But I don't think it's going away.
