Someone please explain to me how giving food to another person is illegal. This is by far the most dystopian thing I've ever read, fiction included.

It's just you.

AI is nowhere near good enough to be trusted with grading written assignments, and won't be for a very long time.

Suing for the right not to be sued. Isn't our society glorious?

Thank you, fellow connoiseur of fine music.

There's one called Andromeda. It's still in closed beta. I didn't get in :(

That really is amazing. But why did we previously think that the T-Rex's eyesight was terrible, then (as seen in the first Jurassic Park movie)?

How do we know anything about their visual acuity or sense of smell?

We know because of our alarm clocks, duh!

Terrorists and authoritarian governments are each others' greatest allies even though both pretend otherwise. Each one uses the other to endear itself to the people and justify atrocities that they would otherwise never get away with, all in the name of protecting you from the other one.

I'm not. The Sun isn't real, it's just something The Church made up to control the sheeple.

Wouldn't it be possible to create some kind of "post-browser" that takes input from the web browser and displays it after passing it through ad blockers and whatever else?

Oh, did Peru drop any nukes in Japan? That's news to me.

There is the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), and then there's Google's Android, which has both open and closed components (e.g. proprietary media codecs). There is such a thing as a pure, open-source Android, but what Google ships is not 100% open.

Think of it like Google's browser: AOSP is Chromium, the Android that comes with your phone is Google Chrome.

Part of it is automated, part of it is real people looking at the source code. That's done by sampling of course, since it's not feasible to have someone manually look over every new update to every app.

The problem is that we suck at allocating productivity. For example, we produce enough food for everyone but don't distribute it half as well as we should, so people still starve while food rots somewhere else. We waste resources propping up a whole host of parasites that add no value to society, such as famous-for-being-famous celebrities, advertisers, speculators and redundant managers, while underpaying the people who actually produce wealth. And we want a brand new iPhone every year, a brand new car every two years, etc, and by and large don't recycle. We're wasteful.

Most of the actually important and time-consuming work is automated already. If we were smart about what work we do, an 8-hour work week for everyone would be more than possible. But we are so inefficient with our productivity due to warped priorities that most of us barely scrape by as it is.

Sure, buddy. Whatever helps you to sleep at night.

You're arguing in bad faith. My entire argument is about the proportion between the people who did die and the people who could have died, so how can anyone make that argument while forgetting one of the two groups and focusing only on the other? A proportion implies both groups.
