It's a bit easier to vet the contractors working at the Pentagon than it is to vet all the restaurant employees nearby.

Angry and defensive? Sounds like they are saying AI is ten times less efficient than what we've already built but they are fine with that because of the convenience the new tool offers them. They seem like they are attempting humor more than expressing anger to me.

Precisely. So much added expense for zero, or rather negative, added value.

Proving Netflix could be replaced by five hard working people.

Bragging about not helping others isn't the flex you think it is. :(

All the Henry looking gents are in monogamous relationships I'm afraid.

I don't see it. He just looks like a buff version of the guys in my family.

Starving children, bombed hospitals and schools, whole neighborhoods reduced to rubble... Yeah let's worry about properly defining "civilian".

Also William Gibson wrote about foiling facial recognition with makeup over thirty years ago.

Oil makes the AC work. Duh. Cheaper AC is what these people want.

If Biden was full of bravado around breaking the government so we wouldn't have more elections like Trump I wouldn't vote for him either. It's not about the D or the R.

There are no good options but I choose the one that's going to allow future, hopefully better, choices.

Every self defense class I've been in says to be ready to fight, create distance, escape. Bilbo knows what's what.

CGNAT sucks any time you want a reliable link to anyone else behind a NAT. Multiplayer games, p2p sharing, video calls all are less reliable.

We planned for that. We should be fine at least until we are an interstellar species. We could assign an IPV6 address to EVERY ATOM ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, and still have enough addresses left to do another 100+ earths. It isn’t remotely likely that we’ll run out of IPV6 addresses at any time in the future.

Lota of differences but the key is: A ponzi scheme pays returns out of future investment. Fractional reserve lending pays returns from interest collected on investments.

Not literally. I bet the poster notices the overlap between ponzi and fractional reserve lending and doesn't care about the differences

Even better... I'm cracking up over here.

9 jurors agreed on by both prosecution and defense decided unanimously that the crimes occurred and he was guilty of them. How is that political?

I feel so validated. :). Star Trek Beyond... I tried twice and didn't last through the ATV action scene either time.
