Does the unified memory model affect how you see this at all? Those 160GB of ram would be available to your GPU, which would not be true on a PC. For some people, that might make a big difference.

I read a blog post a while back about Japanese Adult Video enthusiasts doing some pretty ground breaking work on this.

Foreign material exclusion and quality assurance have different procedures. Sounds like it wasn’t a big deal, so the tools definitely weren’t left in an FME zone.

In construction, it’s “never put your hand where you wouldn’t put your dick”.

I think he’s pointing out the irony in conservative views. They bemoan the erosion of traditional gender roles, but undermine those roles by opposing a generous welfare state.

But, I mean, obviously it would be good if most workers made enough to support a family with a single income.

I guess I’m not a shape rotator after all.

They’re in bogs and historic buildings.

If plastic that's "properly" disposed of still ends up in the environment, how do you dispose of all the trash you collect to ensure that it doesn't end up back in the environment?

I think this is a bad idea as well, but you're not eligible for unemployment if you've been fired.

Awesome. I love that people are coming up with homebrew carts for old systems like this, but does anyone have insight into how Nintendo might might respond to this legally? I just thought they were really litigious and it seems like something their lawyers would be all over.

A lot of people like living in dense urban places. I wouldn't say they like living like animals.

So, generally, I really dislike this kind of paternalism. This rule in particular doesn't seem that crazy, but enforcement just seems completely unrealistic without major privacy violations.

Maybe that's why I dislike this kind of paternalism.

I clicked on the scroll bar to zoom through. Still pretty tedious, but I got the end.

This kind of misinformed thinking is why doctors often don’t take their patients seriously.

Lot's of people have to be at particular places at particular times. Hence, the rush hour.

Depending on your body weight, you should be able to metabolize it in about twelve hours, so you would have twelve hours of (hungover) sobriety a day.

Sometimes escaping can give you a little distance and a perspective from which you can see reality more clearly. Sometimes confronting reality is just (mis)applying ingrained cognitive patterns to a bunch of details.

Also, sometimes things are just really shitty and there's nothing that can realistically fix them and escapism actually is a reasonable choice.

You would call in a private security force to intimidate your loud neighbors because you can't? I wonder how else that security force might be used to enforce personal preferences.

I think you'll find lot's of people from North and South America would take issue with your definition of "American".

Yeah, but they took the time to go there for the experience and still missed out on it.

So way more people are able to identify those vulnerabilities and fix them?

The thing is Truman and the characters in Westworld (I think, haven't seen it) are being manipulated to create a narrative.

I we were in a simulation where the creator(s) were hands off, just letting it run its course, then I don't think it really matters. If, on the other hand, they're pulling strings and manipulating outcomes for whatever reason, then it seems like it matters a lot more. At least that's my intuition.

Yeah, it's not in the article.

I can imagine a scenario though, were they gradually increase the number of invites they give out. I think the idea is that the perception of scarcity will persist, even when invites aren't really scarce.

I have no idea what kind of compute power something like this relies on. Would this be able to run on a consumer desktop?

Yeah, it makes sense to test for this kind of thing, but they should have planned to give the bonuses to everyone regardless of how they responded to the phishing attempt.

Dude, the labor movement has been around for over a hundred years. We've made mind blowing progress on workers' rights. There hasn't been anything close to this for sex workers.

I think this kind of thing is really only economical for niche products like micro greens and fancy lettuce with high markups. It can be grown under perfect conditions, then transported and used the same day it's harvested.

So, pretty cool from a technical and culinary perspective, but it's never going to produce staple crops economically. It seems kind of silly to portray it as being particularly eco-friendly or as addressing concerns like food security.

So, you're saying there's a chance I could afford to move there one day? Sounds dope.

Why would anyone be pro-China and in favor of TPP?

I mean Facebook doesn't really decide what content I see, I do. I aggressively police my timeline and unfollow people who post garbage content. I don't really need an AI to do that for me...
