Statistics please.

Who is opening the borders? Citations please. I know the Libertarian party is pro-open borders. I don't think it's for demographics in their favor, whatever that dog whistley phrase means.

I don't get that from what they state.

Quote: "The engine for recognizing the moon was built based on a variety of moon shapes and details, from full through to crescent moons, and is based on images taken from our view from the Earth."

This says the engine was built from that training, and later on they state that the engine is applied to multiple pictures your camera takes. Where specifically in the article does it say that images not from your camera are applied to your final image? An engine is a process, not necessarily a set of images applied to your images.

It is a processing method, the mechanics of which were ironed out processing other images.

"People were our greatest asset"

I had a similar experience with AWS. They warned us of a crypto hijacking of one of our servers. They weren't any help on internally battling it. They were hands off on anything within the server, and didn't have any advice on how to address it. I had to manually battle it. Their backup and device swapping services were pretty handy though.

...because there always has to be a culture war scapegoat, if you dig far enough and provide a few selective peeks at someone's activities.

It has a beat, and you can dance to it.

Thank you for the attempt.

How do you prevent capitalism and dollars being free speech from turning into oligarchy?

Asking for a friend.

Actually, a few billion friends, come to think of it.

Just call them oligarchs and have done with the whole argument.

Wait, what happened to the robber barons? I guess they didn't have PACs.

That doesn't answer the question. Why does the government need to underwrite the risk you assume for convenience? And "everybody does it" isn't an excuse, it just makes the prospect of the government doing so all the more expensive to the taxpayer.

What makes anyone think I didn't examine the arguments?

What is your view on the Tragedy of the Commons with regards to air, and ocean?

Are you advocating they be privately owned?

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

Isn't that going from max right on the pendulum to somewhere close to max left?

I don't trust any organization that in "Government as the Ultimate Cause of the Tragedy of the Commons" states that private ownership is the cure.

Who owns the oceans, and who owns the air?

Or a Texas Sharpshooter.

You are asking for corporate welfare.

"Blew up the Norstream pipelines"...If you say it often enough, it gets truthy

Why should I care what some institution does with their language?

Fungus affects brain... hmmm...

Modern conservatism: the paranoid fear that someone, somewhere, might possibly be getting something for free.

And they, horror of horrors, don't look like you.

T'was always thus.

Every so often, another cave is uncovered, knowledge of how to hunt or recordings of various activities etched or painted on the walls. Thousands of other caves are missing or lost forever.

That is just plain sick and twisted.

Time for smellovision.

Good.

Earthsea also has plenty of material. It may be too refined for Hollywood, LeGuin's writing is on a whole different level. The only decent adaptation was "Lathe of Heaven" (1980).

I don't remember this one making a lot of headlines...

"The Man Who Was Heavily Into Revenge", Harlan Ellison

I like watching it for the Avantis.

Actually, reading it, it's pretty brilliant for 1962.
