Completely inventing your own reality, freeform… I made my argument clear and plain. You declined to respond to it, and then declared victory. An impressive level of delusion.

You couldn’t debate it if you tried. But your lack of trying is noted.

I’m saying that men have groped women many orders of magnitude more frequently and Occam’s razor should apply. You can turn this into a false flag conspiracy and blame the woman who got groped, on zero evidence Just don’t claim you’re serious about women’s issues if you do. You can’t have it all.

The hand breaking could absolutely be doled out judicially. He didn’t say it should be done without due process.

One cannot simultaneously say that it’s a serious issue and then dismiss an incidence of it, plain to see on camera, with a conspiracy theory.

If I were the president of Mexico I wouldn’t be mingling in crowds like this at all, but yeah her security was wayyy too slow on the draw.

Don’t tell me. Go short the stock and make a million.

Don’t feel bad. I don’t think shorting can do any good. Betting we won’t need powerful chips in the future seems like a bad bet. The main scenario where we won’t is if we’re all dead, in which case all stock market bets are worthless anyway.

Yes. Please remember to downvote this post and all others that are based on overblown articles from nobody science blogs.

I’m ready for this entire category of “science blog” website to disappear. Mainstream media are bad enough at interpreting movements in science, but these shitty little websites make their entire living off of massively overblowing every little thing. Shame on OP and anyone who posts this kind of garbage.

I don’t say loss of ALL function.

You have lost functionality, sir. But people who overpaid for early Nest products have always been amazing at justifying their own purchases, so I’m not surprised you’re now minimizing this move.

I agree. This word does not mean what they think it means. AI may be theft, it may be complex, it may be bad for the world. But none of those is what Machiavellian means.

You just added more analysis :D

I’m just pointing out the words actually used in the article and what they mean. I’m sure you’re right about how it got this way.

That’s what I thought at first but the headline leaves out “from the world of organized crime.”

It sounds like they are making the distinction between organized crime and thieves operating on their own aka “petty criminals.” The word “petty” has many pejorative connotations but it can also just mean small in scale or scope, and that appears to be the meaning here.

I’m not going to excuse ICE and all the shit they are up to. I’m just going to point out that immigration status doesn’t require the same process to determine as the guilt or innocence of some other crime. In a murder trial, you have to prove motive, opportunity, etc beyond a reasonable doubt. With immigration status, it’s simpler: either you can document your legal right to be in the country or you can’t. When someone isn’t supposed to be in the country we don’t jail them for years to rehabilitate them and then release them into the population. We remove them. So everything about this feels and looks different from a standard criminal due process because it is different. Even without the aggressive tactics, masks, and all attendant bullshit, it would still be different.

With their mask-wearing they’re practically advertising their methods. We should take the clue. Everyone still has their COVID masks, right?

I’m not going to spend time on how dumb it is to compare a speculative total valuation to the real economic output of a single year.

If we zoom out, it’s not that surprising that emerging tech is going to require greater and greater computing power. We thought that our desire for our laptops to be faster was driving this, Moore’s Law, whatever. But now there’s a new technology that seems to raise the requirements by an order of magnitude. In the short term, this is fantastic news for the makers of computer chips. We’re living in the late Information Age. Is it all that surprising that there would be moments like this where our ability to consume computing power outstrips our ability to produce it? So Nvidia has a high valuation. BFD. Investors are confident in its future. That doesn’t make it 16% of the US economy.

Yes, thank you. A lot of people live in a house that’s worth more than they make in a year. We can write a breathless sentence that makes this sound shocking if we like.

“Think about that number. You have tethered 450% of your economic output to the fortunes of one structure!”

Thank you. I mean what??? The phrasing is idiotic. This company has a large market cap, therefore the US has “tethered its economic output” to it? What’s that even supposed to mean?

They were rude to you about it too? Jesus. I’m pleased to say I’ve never bought any Samsung product.
