To robots, humans are like zombies wanting to take their brains.

Burglars and kidnappers use the same tactics. The difference is that unlike your typical criminals they don’t have to evade police after… For now.

This will change some day. What they’re doing is still illegal. The current administration that is blocking the enforcement of all the laws they’re breaking isn’t going to be there forever.

This isn’t new. I remember seeing a promotion for this exact same printer many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.

And yet the “I don’t care that they gather data on me, I have nothing to hide” crowd is still clueless

Sounds like they’re not gonna get your money after all

Many of them migrated to Canada after the war as well.

It is baffling that people hadn’t clued in about this sooner

I presume a person would curl up into a ball to preserve heat which would reduce the effective skin surface area. But that is still quite fast

Look up the short film called The Man Who Planted Trees. A great watch.

I see AI as a working animal with a bit of a behavioral problem. It can do some specific things much better than us humans which is why we use them. But you can’t trust them without a human handler. And if you leave them on their own for too long they will definitely end up doing something unbelievably stupid.

A human body will also eventually freeze in space. The same physics apply. It’s just not going to happen fast.

Yes it is. But it is the main way by which things cool down in space.

That’s how satellite electronics are cooled down. They have large heat sinks that slowly radiate heat away.

You’re talking about conduction. I’m talking about radiation.

You constantly radiate heat. The warmer you are, the faster you radiate it away. In space this is the primary way you lose heat.

In your living room you are constantly bombarded by radiated heat from all the objects that surround you, even if they’re just at room temperature, which lessens the effect. In space, not so much.

Someone who knows better might chime in, but as far as I know the trope of rapidly freezing out in space is exaggerated. You would definitely freeze eventually, but perhaps not as dramatically fast as portrayed in The Guardians of The Galaxy for example.

I see it as an attempt at manipulation and I do as much as possible to get as much of it out of my life as I can. If a gas station plays ads while I fuel at the pump I will look away. If it plays sound this station is dead to me and go to another one.

The worst is that it is a blatant tax on everyone. Not just for being annoying eyesores, but in the value of the products we buy. When a company spends millions of dollars in advertising to make their $400 product look like it should be worth $800, it is the consumer who foots the bill and then some.

Because as long as they haven’t seen the files they can make themselves believe that maybe the whole Epstein affair is speculation and grossly exaggerated and that they can’t possibly be that bad. When they finally see the truth they can no longer make those mental gymnastics. It also helps that they also likely realize that the truth will get out sooner or later and don’t want to be among the ones who protected those monsters.

Calm down, it was primarily a joke comment.

People with good Photoshop skills are about to have a great way to get back to the people they don’t like

He got his answers.

Salary: Minimum

Responsibilities: Maximum

Work culture: Toxic

I live in Canada. My rationalization is that as much as what’s happening in the US is pissing me off, I have no business going into another country to try to fix it for the people who live there.

However, if the day ever arrives that they decide to follow through with their threat of annexing my country, it will become my problem. And you can trust me that I’ll make sure to become their problem as well.
