Comment Let data centers finance schools (Score 1) 216

Why not make data centers pay 50% of electricity bills for schools, by implementing special rate structures for data centers proportional to density of power requirement. Initially they'll resist, but due to ever increasing demand, sooner or later they will succumb. It's a won war that we are losing, unbelievable.

Oh, you misunderstood the point. The code governing plane controllers is written by human and we trust the human developer who wrote and thoroughly tested the code. That code has nothing to do with pilot or copilot. Your comment on pilot and co-pilot still holds in case AI might take their roles away too but I think before taking away their roles, AI will take away developer's role.

Comment Re: ICE is essential like ZATCA (Score 1) 148

You could have told, there are no militant groups in UAE or quite a few in Saudi Arabia. Exoneration of real culprits like Iraq, Iran and Pakistan will lead to nowhere. I wonder, do you even know where these countries are located and who is neighbor of whom and what kind of diplomatic and trade relations they have among themselves?

Comment ICE is essential like ZATCA (Score 0) 148

ICE prevents formation of internal terror clusters inspired by imported ideologies and imported radicalized people, just like Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has successfully prevented clusters influenced by terror networks operating in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan from forming in Saudi Arabia. Trump's praise (or any future criticism) of ICE carries no weight. While evaluating ICE, I'd definitely be careful not to make Ad Hominem fallacy.

Comment When offence is economically viable than defence (Score 1) 314

20 years ago, attack on Iran was unimaginable. With the rising gap between cost of offense vs cost of defense, it will not be surprising if US attacks China to protect Taiwan in next two decades, purely on grounds of combat-economy. This has already happened in Palestine, where razing Gaza to ashes was economically more viable than recurring cost of using Iron Dome against order of magnitude cheaper Qassam missiles.

Let's ditch all forms of IP and settle this war forever. Agreed?
This will slow down the progress but will give the atmosphere, the oceans and all the species ample time to recover. Agreed?
This will slow down the progress but will give social imbalance, political imbalance and racial imbalance enough time to adjust against concentrated wealth and power accumulation. Now agreed?

Comment Ages ago from iTunes Store (Score 1) 77

Ages ago, I used to buy songs from iTunes Store and burn them onto CD and later rip that CD to unencrypted 320k mp3. My 15 year old purchased music is still there on Apple account, but no worries, I have local backup of my entire iTunes collection.

Gen Alpha wouldn't know what was possible was deliberately made impossible. Gen Beta will grow up believing buying and renting are synonyms. That's how the world evolves.
