If billionaires want something for us, it is most certainly bad for us. The whole notion of a universal income is the stupidest idea in the entire history of stupid ideas. If you think you are a replaceable cog in our current economic system, you haven't given any thought to how much more replaceable you are when your income is dictated by Government.

The AI bubble will deflate (or suddenly pop) at some point, and we will be close to where we were when this whole insanity began. The technology won't go away (and it has a few genuine uses), but knee-jerk reactions like Universal Income are a much bigger problem.

I agree in principle, but real software development almost always runs afoul of real deadlines.

I agree completely. This happens regardless of development methodology. This is standard market practice. There is never enough time.

Agile has gotten a bad name from how much useless cruft has attached itself (including having a formal definition). Worthless metrics are a real problem, but they have been around for far longer than Agile has had a name. Actual agile development can be done on very few principles, but managers think that micromanaging is effective managing.

My understanding is that he doesn't object to the porting of the source code, but rather the unauthorized use of his trademark and the misleading association of the port with his work.

Don Ho is correct about his trademark (yes, it's registered), and Andrey Letov appears to be showing the proper respect to Don by renaming and rebranding the port.

AI speech to text and text to speech would be a great addition for the accessibility subsystem. The current screen reader software voice sucks really, really bad. AI speech would be a great improvement. But that's the only place I can imagine where AI would be a benefit. Scratch that. If AI could do great handwriting recognition, that would also be a great boon.

Coffee has approximately the same natural flavor profile as the stuff that comes out of my dog's ass. As I tell my coffee-drinking wife: "Anything can be made to taste good with enough honey -- even dog shit and coffee." Coffee needs a honey or sugar to coffee ratio of about 1:3 to overcome the shit-taste inertia inherent to coffee.

This will be believable if they can do the same thing for Closed Source software. If they can't, then they are lying and infringing on copyright. If they can, then they will be the biggest software company in the history of software.

Because Islam WANTS everyone killed, including themselves. That is their entire objective. They think it will bring them, and only them, eternal sex. MAD does not apply to their idiology, because they really are insane.

Compilers and assemblers have been reasoning for nearly 80 years, by that definition.

You don't need a super-intelligence to do that. Just look at any church, synagogue, temple, or mosque. The general IQ of the targets already barely exceed room temperature.

Many ISPs will stupidly block port outgoing 25 and all incoming ports by default, so I have no doubt that they would stupidly block other traffic as well. ISPs are run by technologically ignorant people, so it is a mistake to believe they act logically.

Isn't it shocking how easy it is to provide a simple, highly effective tool that doesn't require doxxing yourself or your children? It could even go further by providing tools that allow parental control over the device. It's a very simple problem to solve, and become a fascist country is not required.

Parents have been the monitoring tool for ages. Nothing changes in the digital age.

That's always been a terrible comparison. Those places don't create an easily-replicatable copy of your ID that can easily be stolen and easily used for things like identity theft. They look at your ID, verify your age, and that's the end of it.

These online age verification laws are blatantly unconstitutional, horribly dangerous, and not thought out at all.

Copyrights generally last for the life of the author plus 70 years.
