And he in turn gave the US the middle finger by cozying up to China. No sense of responsibility to repay all that he got here.

All you need to do is prove that an "alternative" app store can't be used to distribute malware or worse, some EU commie spyware.

OS X and MacOS are the same thing if memory serves.

I've looked at a few engineering PhD programs and it just seems to be all about memorizing every course you ever took since freshman year. The irony is that real engineers never memorize anything. They look it up because that's far better than relying on a fallible memory.

Every piece of technology can be used for both good and bad. On the one hand, flock cameras could track an Amber alert suspect. I know of a case in Arizona where a murderer killed two people and drove the bodies all the way to Ohio where he borrowed his neighbor's backhoe in order to bury not just the bodies but the car they were in. So, arguably a good use-case for this tech.

But then you have the recent video of cops in Colorado accusing some woman of being a porch pirate saying that she can't make a move in this town without them knowing about it. Turns out that she was totally innocent and someone else was the pirate.

So, the old saying that those who would sacrifice liberty for temporary security deserve neither is entirely appropriate here. What happens when the next actual fascist administration comes along and cooks up some over-hyped scary disease and uses flock cameras to lock you up because you violated some bullshit lockdown order? I'm guessing that 50% of you would want the cameras gone while another 50% would say "Good, lock them up because I don't want to get sick." To the latter, I say "Your papers are not in order."

You're an investor with cash. You look at this IPO and see three things. Eventbrite. Probably some value there but does it have a moat? Vimeo. Could be a competitor to YouTube if it's done properly. AOL? What the hell is there that's worth anything?

Or perhaps by getting up you temporarily free yourself from the daily grind and that's what's killing you.

1200 baud?! Feh. I started with a 110 baud acoustic coupler modem on a Teletype 110 that operated at a whopping 11 characters per second.

Under Bernie's plan, actual Americans won't get control of AI. The government, and more accurately, an unaccountable agency wholly controlled by Bernie, Liz, AOC, and a few other nimrods will have total control over it.

If this gets passed, and I doubt it will, it will definitely be taken up by SCOTUS. Assuming that the court doesn't get f*cked by packing it with crazy socialists, the tax will get thrown out.

Taxing unrealized capital gains is no different than taxing new university graduates on future income that they haven't actually made yet because, you know, some of them will eventually become wealthy because of the career path they were blessed with so why not tax them now.

...Is another man's propaganda. They SAY they used autonomous drones but there's no video evidence, not that that couldn't be faked. Sounds too on-the-nose to me.

I don't know why anyone would want a touchscreen on a laptop. I had that on an old HP machine and the device isn't solid enough to do anything meaningful on it. Plus, the angle winds up making contact with your fingernails before your fingers. The only way it might make sense is if you can fold it back on itself to make a tablet.

Never underestimate government, particularly the EU, to f*ck up good technology.

Imagine this: you're trying to build a Linux-based appliance. You run up against some problem and Google is no help. So you go to some forum and ask how to solve it. Some smarty pants says "Figure it out for yourself! You want to stand on the shoulders of giants!" Um, no, I don't want to hire a gatekeeper such as yourself for a stupid amount of money to answer one question.

AI is the next stage in the democratization of information in the same way that Google and the Internet were to expensive universities, physical libraries, and books that may or may not be available when you need it. Welcome to the revolution.

And California, in it's infinite stupidity, will refuse to build such plants because it's easier to suck the Colorado River dry and who gives a shit about those other states who depend on it.
