    If we assume the hypothesis that the current officials are russian plants, then since F.B.I already is being taken over and diverting resources away from foreign threats then this …

    Scrum is moronic and has proven itself worse and worse over the past 20 years. It started out with good intent but today it is either merely not-in-the-way or horribly dysfunctiona…

    Perhaps? But unless I'd report directly to Elon, I might not want to work in his organizations. Amazon is clearly a whack place for many and there is no shortage of horrible storie…

    simple: there is no such set.

    I think you meant "separate".

    What do you mean? That's the entire point of talking about things.

    Well, take a car as an example. The question is not what you use a car for, but rather how the car is built.

    I've used it for about 25 years and still love it. Wish you would port it to Windows as well!

    They're likely irrelevant anyway. We're all shouting into the void.

    This is nothing like a nuclear bomb. A nuclear bomb doesn't choose to explode itself, nor can it replicate itself.

    Comment #35379392

    That's besides the point. The argument still holds. We don't want to find ourselves with our foot on an exploding mine before we stop walking across the minefield. At that point it…

    What is the limit of intelligence? What limits the human intelligence? How many more times intelligent would an AGI have to be to have the capacity to take over the world?

    Nobody says that it necessarily follows, but it's a quite trivial step once you have the AGI, hence pointless that you bring up it as an argument.

    Who said it followed? That's a strawman. To dumb it down even further for you, I guess... There are brains, therefore there can be created an artificial super-brain. Artificial sup…

    Nothing hand-wavy about it. The article that this thread is based on provides the evidence, and you are refuting it. I am refuting your refutation. My experience aligns exactly wit…

    What a horrible argument from this guy, whoever he is. And ending with a whataboutism just for the sake of it. I hope nobody regards him as some authority, because he is quite unin…

    I can't find a flaw in this argument. That is a bit scary actually.

    > It's not exactly built-in obsolescence, so much as being built to cost. How do you know this? Seems completely implausible. Source please.

    The regular consumer, like us, don't give a rats ass about the technology behind the light, we just want them to work well. The light is much, much worse than incandescents for the…

    Hi, also European here. Everything the article complains about is true. The light from LEDs is significantly worse, even in Europe.

    I can't argue with your points about not having evidence, but I refuse to brush it off as "merely anecdotal" as well. > I think of system design as something that is tediously hard…

    Even though there isn't a formal theory, there definitely is a big difference between a person capable of doing good system design and one who isn't. I don't think all people are c…

    Except, you can combine VPNs with other tech. There is nothing exclusionary about it. It's defense-in-depth which, tada, NIST recommends.
