Since we're well beyond non sequitur now, I grew up in Africa, btw.

If you can't laugh at this you have no humanity.

But this is both racist and sexist? How can /. allow this?

This can only get unintentionally funnier.

It's not "woke" that is bad, it's the fact that it is lazy and incredibly stupid, as if it was made by the most inept nepobabbies simply because they can. I grew up with both men and women as heroic characters, and it wasn't that bad. What is bad is that everyone who is in charge of writing ignores what makes writing works, and with all the tools at their disposal, there is no excuse. So I am thinking it is deliberate(ly stupid).

another man-made horror beyond belief.

This will be used by dual-citizenship holders, who will fly on taxpayers' money.

You son of a bitch. Gratuitous close up of biceps

The way you react makes you seem like you are benefitting from something that is contrary to the betterment of the general population of the US of A.

The current "approaches" will not give any scalable results as they ignore basic physics. It's at best a very power-hungry gambling with database entries, at worst a noisy and expensive waste of time. I think that it's fitting to call users of these things for gamblers, and the tokens they use and pay for are the same as in gambling, and they are all gambling for a good result. In the end, the house always wins.

Dune's Mentats.

So, this is in the process of being regulated as gambling?

These "tech" companies do not have "leaders" who think. They only want to destroy. That is their mindset.

This is sounding more and more like sportsball but for people who align themselves in some way with the "tech"-industry. Whatever these companies produce is mostly high-cost entertainment anyhow. They keep ignoring physics, so their "solutions" are unreliable when before a simple db-lookup would give the same result every time, we now are gambling like in a casino, and the house always win.

Or Quake 2, where you are using communication lasers to alert the fleet of your presence. It's a common sci-fi trope.
