devopsproject··on Elon Musk: Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age
I'm not looking down at anyone. Get off your high horse

A cheap VM is not likely to give the same type of performance.
devopsproject··on Elon Musk: Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age
So the question remains: What must he do to prove his technical skill?
devopsproject··on Elon Musk: Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age
My problem is that this has all happened before and we have survived. The printing press alienated non-readers, advances in agriculture killed farming jobs, etc. Its Darwinism, no?
devopsproject··on Elon Musk: Humans must merge with machines or become irrelevant in AI age
It would be a competitive advantage which would make some people more valuable than others.

As far as profit and motives, I think it may be similar to tractors: Someone will make money on the equipment and service, farmers will be more productive which will kill farming jobs, and more food will be produced. I don't see an altruistic path.

Because the feedback of the world at large would be terribly outdated and terribly mismatched.

"Should we spend the next 30 years using the internet and supercomputers to increase the world's food supply through targeted genetic modifications?"

"No, I need food and water today."

he sends rockets into space and is creating self driving electric cars. what other technical feats are needed before you can take him seriously?

> The major issues facing humanity aren't going to be solved by quicker analysis of data as EM seems to desire

You can already see the results of a society where data comes in too quick for the "average" citizen to process. Fake news, hoaxes, Trump, climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, etc.

This technology cannot come soon enough.

Appreciate your response, a better tactic would have been more effective. Thank you.

There is a reason someone might say "What is your opinion on Scott Adams?" instead of "What is your facts about Scott Adams?" (hint: opinion != facts)

The notion of censorship exists because it happens. Facebook admitted doing it. But I suppose this is another fact you will confuse with an opinion.

And I truly apologize if my "[citation needed]" offended your delicate sensibilities. I thought I was dealing with an adult but your emotional outbursts and insistence that opinions are facts prove you still have a ways to go. A long ways. Good luck!

> Scott Adams is kind of a nutbar, this kind of paranoia is right up his alley

Opinion

> He thought Hillary Clinton was going to kill him if he said he was planning to vote against her.

An outright lie.

There are plenty of things to attack the other side on. Making things up is pretty low.

> They don't because they're the claims of a crazy person

That is your opinion. Others disagree. For the record: I agree with you. But these are our OPINIONS. Others see a successful artist, pundit, investor, and multimillionaire.

> When this was pointed out to you, instead of looking into it you were rude (citation needed!).

I wanted to know where the Fact of the statement came from. Specifically, the fact that OP claimed Hillary Clinton was going to kill him.

> declaring yourself some arbiter of intellectual honesty

I never once did this. I did call you out for being dishonest and if that makes me an arbiter of intellectual honesty then so be it.

And then you started name calling which was really classy :)

Person A: I saw aliens at area 51 you can read about it in my latest book.

Person B: Here are 25,000 documents from Area 51 that prove the existence of aliens.

Who gets the most credit\fame\whatever?

There is evidence to suggest that being a trump supporter is bad for your health. Google "Trump Supporter Attacked"

There is evidence and admission of guilt that facebook censored right wing "news".

There seems to be evidence that something is going on at twitter. It could be technical in nature, but that is exacly what people said during the facebook stuff (its the algorithm not censorship)

So, no, your "miss-remembered" claim does not hold

devopsproject··on Uber Elevate [pdf]
This is a cool idea but I would really like my car at the destination so I don't have to rely on uber or buses and light rail. Surely there could be an efficient way to load you and your car onto a train?
devopsproject··on Scott Adams: The Social Media Hive Mind
No one is debating the first claim. We are debating the second claim which was absurd and completely unambiguous

> He thought Hillary Clinton was going to kill him if he said he was planning to vote against her

You are lying (again). How is this constructive? Intellectual dishonesty swings both ways. You would call me out if the tables were turned. You are better than this.

devopsproject··on Scott Adams: The Social Media Hive Mind
Poster claimed Hillary Clinton was going to kill him. Which is different than being afraid of mobs.

Spreading obvious lies is part of the problem. We will never be better than the other side if we have to stoop to their levels

This is concerning and gives the right some credibility when they claim "fake news" and "censorship".
devopsproject··on Use of Ad-Blocking Software Rises by 30% Worldwide
Maybe it isn't a tech problem or a lack of innovation but an uncomfortable conversation we need to have with "content creators" who think their blog post about last nights episode of "The Bachelor" is deserving of $100.

AdBlock is trying with their "acceptable ads" option being the default.

Brave browser is also a good idea but I doubt it will gain traction. It should have been a plugin.

After being frustrated with the lack of "decent" blockers for my other devices (android, iphone, tablets, etc) I started blocking network wide now. It will be difficult to go back.

I blocked ads on pc after getting infected.

I blocked ads on mobile devices when they started buzzing my phone, sending me the the play store, giving me popups, etc.

now I block everything on all my devices using pi-hole
