because you actually watch porn for the plot?

As aneengineer he is the worst kind of marketing rep. His BS claims have to be back filled and it never works. “Requirements by Press Release”

there are also people who make their living by following rich people to get them to fund projects. I read about construction companies that would follow Trump around and have people slip him ideas so he felt he was this amazing business man. All the politicians are following this method.

You know that people do this with Elon and any other rich person. Stroke the king’s ego by pretenting it was all their idea and get rich off of it.

i was dumbfounded that so many people stood up against Disney. it was so opposite of what modern americans do.

java was my 5th language, having just missed it as the AP CS language in highschool by a year. oddly i could not get behind such a massive standard library having come from BASIC, Pascal C++, ASM, VHDL. now after 30 years of programing i write Java web services for a living. feels strange.

this should be the default stance when using any built in encryption. always separate the mode of encryption from the mode of transmission.

nah they just need to survive the storm for a yeas and a half and start funding dems house races. far cheaper than allowing you to repair your device.

they sent us a big box of CDs to the CS department an uni. ran it as a daily driver for a semester.

Ican’t fathom how someone, even given a perfect model of every cell in my body, could predict whether or not I will scratch my nose within the next minute.

so your argument is just personal incredulity?

The issue is not about choice. It is about control. Your next action is purely dependant on the current state of your brain and the stimuli around you. Where is the part that isn’t controlled by this system? How did you cause your brain to be exactly how it is right this moment? Was it not a cause of your previous brain state and the stimuli in the previous moment? How can you shown it’s not turtles all the way down?

The chaos comment is not really relevant. Chaos isn’t choice, I only brought it up to show that at the level of our brains and the interactions we have there isn’t anything random. A world rewound would produce the same outcome.

i have yet to see any evidence thatethere is anything that overcomes the deterministic nature of the universe. the rare bit of chaos we get from quantum mechanics is washed away by the law of large numbers.

you just need to keep a shit list of brands that are now dead to you.
