Go read about the founders of DeepMind. These are not kooks, they are people with publication lists a mile long coming out of academia.
You know how industry always gets things later than academia? Well guess what academia's been working on for the past decade or so...
Are you living in another universe? You said precisely nothing that applies to the world I live in.
100 years of Progress shall have achieved the unwinding of the Civil War, affording us velvet entitlement handcuffs that are far more stylish than the metal affairs of chattel slavery.
What does this even mean?
He compares 3 countries with what he defines as cultures of fear based in freedom myth as the root of their anti-democratic evils: the US, Israel and Apartheid South Africa.
So he just lumps together the countries the European Left loves to hate with no regard for their actual political and ideological orientations?
US: ultra-capitalist oligarchy pretending to be a two-party democracy
Israel: military rule in one area with sectionalist social democracy in the other area.
South Africa: EXTREME sectionalism based on actual tribal affiliation, coupled to a legacy of extreme racism.
If I was going to make an analysis, I would call sectionalism the common factor between these countries' problems, not a "fear based in freedom-myth". That, however, requires that we actually admit the United States has factions and sectionalism at all, which the dominant factions in the US refuse to admit (because by doing so they can cast themselves as the One True Representative Faction of all Americans rather than as a two-party system representing what are increasingly two separate nations).
The original intent was to have the government composed of a white, male, Protestant, landowning aristocracy "of merit" (ie: they did manage to own land, they must be competent rulers!).
Fuck the original intent, we should do something that's actually good!
When the cost of a resource increases, and the pay doesn't increase in about proportion, that's inflation.
No, actually, that's not inflation. That's just redistribution of wealth from labor to capital. Inflation means that salaries rise too.
In Europe you can reach another country in which to practice an nth language by driving for three hours or taking a train, and you don't even need to bring a passport within the Schengen Zone.
It's really much simpler than that. Any translation in N dimensions can be viewed as rotation around the appropriately-oriented axis of an N+1'st dimension.
Well that is why the phrase used is "Pinkie-Swear" rather than "Pinkie Promise". They do have lawyers for this sort of thing.
Honestly, you know we're in for it the instant you start seeing names of so-called movements that outright refuse to provide coherent definitions of themselves.
Actually, looking at you, Occupy Wall Street.
Yep. Well.. Not a lot of sympathy for French people either, so it's all good...
That is the crucial difference between salary and hourly. As a welder, you would get a nice 50% rate bonus if you have to work late.
You're confusing "if you have to" with "I want to". There's a huge difference between being ordered to work extra or get fired, vs, I'd like to work an extra hour today. If no one wants to sign off on overtime that day, you aren't getting a 41st hour, doesn't matter if you want it or not.
when Murray asks if you can work fast
Yeah just what I want in my storage gear, the fastest to market. Eh, reliability, long life, ease of use, who needs that stuff.
I think I'm done here...

Pretty much works out the same way as any other fad.
Other people could use that time for e.g. watching the TV, but is that really any more a valuable way of spending one's time?
Also just because I make "skilled craftsman" type hourly rates (about as much per hour as a plumber) unlike a plumber I can only realistically get precisely 40 hrs per week. Not 39, not 41, but exactly 40 hrs at that rate.
Yes hrs 1 thru 40 I get about plumber income per hour, but as soon as I hit that 41st hour at home, I would have to hunt for a job and in this economy blah blah and with the flexibility required for a second job, and only wanting to work precisely one hour not 20 every week etc, I think I'd be VERY lucky to cashier at quickie mart for $7.25/hr, if that is even possible.
So unless you can actually do it, and you want to, don't assume the cost of a marginal extra hours labor is your regular pay rate. In other words the cost of an hours labor at $job during regular business hours is plumber-ish hourly rate, but at home after hours I cannot realistically earn more than a couple bucks per hour.
If it is only for minecraft? If so, and you are trying to pinch pennies, have the kid stop playing minecraft and get a job.
Or do more than minecraft. Home file server to start (try not to turn yourself into a world wide warez site... unless you really want to of course). Then stick some PCI video cap cards in, some mythtv backend software... Add a X10/insteon controller and misterhouse for home automation... Wire up cheap tiny speakers all thru the house and install some jukebox software for whole house audio...
He who has but four and spends five has no need for a wallet.
