They used to have a reputation for employing smart people… Dumbass middle managers took over a while back and started making the stupidest decisions.

It really looks like we are going the other direction though… Like we are going to have a corporate Congress a la “Space Merchants”. I mean kickbacks were just legalized by the supreme court ffs.
What makes you think we are going to get rid of regulatory capture?
It’s harder to get people in favor of something than it is to point to something/someone and convince them they are an enemy.
This is a truth known for a long time. I think it is linked to our tendency to lose aversion.

Both parties are speaking to us about what we are going to loose it the other side wins. For Biden he is claiming (probably rightly based on the recent Trump supreme court decisions) we are going to loose democracy if Trump wins. Trump is claiming we are going to loose America, the real America, if Biden wins. What real America is depends on who he is talking to.
I got a 250 gallon tank. I don’t have it hooked up to my grill, I just use the 5 gallon tanks for that. It’s more of a pita to hard plumb that than it’s worth, plus if I forget to turn the grill off I’m out 5 gallons, if I hard plumbed it to my main tank…
Doesn’t say if it affects people on the fair plan…
Rates at Esky high as is. Fuck private insurance across the board.

Looks like you can create acedic acid from alcohol but you need a catalyst and carbon monoxide, not oxygen.
Or an environment without bacteria. I don’t think the wine will ‘oxidize’ without the bacteria, correct?
I am so curious…
God damnit… This makes way too much sense. I’m sad now… well sadder.
Oxidization is not the process that turns wine into vinegar, it is a secondary fermentation by bacteria that does it.
Do you want the Unabomber? Cause that’s how you get the Unabomber.
I paid for AMdroid because I can set profiles, Geo fence, have math problems to turn off alarms, fade in music, turn on my flashlight… All the bells and whistles. I would love a FOSS version, but many try to be single feature. I like all the things.
Makes me think of Man Plus by Pohl
Yeah, the 6th mass extinction.
They actually took a bunch of elements of the short story collection and jammed them together. The worst is what they did to Susan Calvin…
Ignoring the butchery, it’s a pretty generic action movie. Very forgettable. Adding what they did to the source material makes it a straight tragedy.
That is the plot of the Will Smith version of I, Robot.
If I remember correctly, it’s actually Daneel who comes up with the zeroth law. And it’s not to justify killing people.
Only in the shitty movie. Not in the books.
Also, a lot of the machine vision systems I’ve run up against use red light, but it is kind of complex. If they want to detect say blood, I think blue light would actually give better contrast for detection.
What’s going on in that second picture?
