it was so annoying to suffer the fools who loudly complained about tesla roadblocking a universal charger while ignoring the fact that NACS was way better than the alternatives

and we literally launched into another expensive proxy war literally as soon as we left afghanistan. i think if you told people in 2008 that this would be the case, they would find it impossible to comprehend.

wow, computers writing essays that cannot be distinguished from human written essays and the ramifications of this have been going on for… ever. i dont know how to say it nicely… youre just blatantly wrong.

i hope he navigates this well and i hope he doesnt experience any pain but if people here are allowed to talk about his contribution then i should be able to do the same. i cant think of anyone who did more damage to software than him. his political zealotry, which didnt belong in a technical field, was very destructive.

because of the poisonous vitriol that responses will undoubtedly have, i wont be reading responses. dont even bother.

then you are completely blind. dont see the difference between the printing press and total human obsolescence as well as the insane ramifications of technology explosion that comes with agi

wow you are remarkably stupid. i said the government babies us, which is true, and says nothing about whether i like or dislike the government. i will not be getting in touch because you are a vapid idiot.

because you live in a privileged fairyland. other worms, like those found in pork, are common in countries that dont eliminate them in the food supply. people get sick from drinking tap water. if north america had to drpemd on washing their hands to prevent worms instead of being babied by the gorvernmemt, wed be worse off than india.

two of my family members are chemists at usda. they dont eat fruit or produce except the kind you can peel like oranges and bananas. plants are covered in feces, worms, pesticides and you cant sit there with a toothbrush scrubbing it all off. a quick rinse isnt going to do shit. especially for the pesticides. also its become clear that most plants arent good for your health even when they arent covered in terrible shit.

i do. do you have one for the conjecture of your camp? i certainly havent seen it. if you want to hash it out then lets do a twitter space. im not going to waste my time typing it out for you to gloss over. and unlike you, i take this matter seriously.

these upsides are a sirens song. it wont matter how advanced science is or whatever benefit you can imagine if human society is destroyed. the upsides will be pointless. destruction of human society is inevitable and intrinsic to artificial intelligence.

they are extremely responsive on twitter and email if you wanted to ask. i have ralked with them about offering higher value discs, UHD and rare titles. i am optimistic that they will be offering everything they might sell on ebay including UHD.

lol. am i supposed to type out a response to this? yes, i am aware of musk opening the patents. it doesnt conflict with or negate anything ive said. it certainly isnt an indication that elon musk believes teslas products should be subject to the will of the idiotic masses.

the best alternative to dvd netflix that ive found is dvd-inbox.com. its a guy who sells dvds and blurays on ebay who is starting a netflix clone. you can upload your netflix queue (netflix allows you to download all your data including your queue) to the website currently.

https://dvdinbox.com

yeah it does. the EV market wouldnt exist if they hadnt stuck to their guns. people were adamant that EVs could never be real cars before the roadster and model s. when somebody invents something, we allow them to have a monopoly on that invention for a time. it incentivizes innovation but it also gives power to people who actually have the right idea, see things as they could be rather than just follow the herd. tesla definitely invented the modern EV market and the modern EV drivetrain. and now the same people who called me an idiot in 2011 are here saying that tesla is morally obligated to make their cars “hacker friendly” or whatever nonsense? all i can say is if youre so smart then why werent you asking for this in 2012 and 13? you could have asked musk directly at the shareholder meeting.
