That is the future. Robotic caregivers for the elderly, and AI chatbots for the mentally challenged. Humanity is about to dehumanize itself, in the name of technological advancements.

Nice posting, thanks for that. I still cant really understand the hype around Gould and its goldberg interpretations. Yes, they are good. But no, they are far from the best I know. If you ever get the time and a recording, listen to Rag

Thanks for taking the time to explain what you see. This sort of confirms my initial suspicion. Weird.

As a diehard terminal user, I think this headline should interest me. However, I am assuming this is some sort of JavaScript perversion? Visiting the link with lynx gives an empty page. Can anyone explain whats going on there to a non-GU

It looks like it doesnt respect $LINES (or something similar). On first try, the top 2 results scrolled off the screen.

This is so weird. In some US states, you can buy weed legally but hiring a prostitute is illegal. Where I come from, its the other way round. Go figure.

There is a difference between refusing to fall for manipulative writing and lack of empathy. Since we're already on such a personal level, I advice you to concentrate on your Torrent download and Crypto hobbies, instead of lecturing o

I envy you for your age... There was a time when everyone and their dog knew what L0phtCrack was.

Lisp is definitely not as functional as for instance Haskell is. Side-effect-freeness was never really a topic for Lispers.

So the acronym should be changed to BI then. And if it is not U, I dont care supporting it politically...

The name is strange. Reminds me of a product-naming story I heard years ago. Papenmeier from Germany was once planning to create a small notetaker with built-in braille display. They originally planned to name it "Braille Assistan

No idea, never tried. I went from SuSE straight to Debian, and haven't bothered to check any other distros out since.

This brings back fond memories. When I came back from CCC Camp 2003, OpenBSD got me interested. So I gave it a try, and had a real fun time in the ensuing 12 months. The simplicity, pretty good docs and the installer ("Do you want t

But how would you force people to vaccinate if they are on UBI and dont have to jump when their employer says so? Or do you crack the U of UBI then, attaching strings to the basic income to make people comply to what you want them to compl

Oh the irony. Hyper superstitions people (read: beliefers) claim they are against superstition. That is almost a newspeak example.

I need no nobel prize, thank you. That is reserved for great peace makers like Kissinger and Obama.

Wrong. I am not defending Bitcoin. But I am opposing people like you who think they have some kind of monopoly telling other people what to use their silicon and electricity for. In fact, I couldn't care less about BTC. But I hate

Same here. Margarine was something inflicted on us by parents. I didnt touch the horrible thing the day I moved out of my mothers house. Margarine, and the lack of creative pasta sauce are the two food related things I shudder when thinki

I have some experience with outsiderisms. I am an outsider almost my whole life, being a person with a disability. I always had to find my place in groups where I was the outsider. If I felt like people like you seemt o imply all the time

This finger pointing style of saving the planet feels so extremely juvenile, its no longer funny. Yes, bitcoin uses a lot of energy. But so does artificial snow. Or gaming for that matter. What would we see if we add up all gamers on th

I remember listening to a CCC presentation around 23C3 with a very similar title, which basically did the same for me.

I am suspecting the problems you have are due to the name of the scene. It appears certain keywords do overrule locally-defined names. Whenever I put an address book entry for a taxi company with the name "taxi" in it, Siri isnt

Yes, believe it or not, it will try to call itself, and fail.

Which would make the offering they have for european customers even more laughable.

Well, looking at the skills offers by alexa, I am not sure if a siri appstore would be worthwhile. 99.9% of alexa skills are totally and utterly useless.
