But a corporation can be smarter than any individual can possibly be.
They have far more information and far more time than any individual to put into manipulating the transaction.
Of course consumers are going to be stupid, it's not their fault they don't have a team of people running around with them performing in depth analysis of every purchase decision they make.
This isn't about evil corporations (although I suspect the world is actually evil (circumcision)), this is about an imbalance of power.
It looks a lot like the stuff I produced a while back with an rnn. I just fed the rnn raw web pages for a giggle. It does surprisingly well, often managing to close braces correctly. It really goes to show how good the browsers are at dealing with junk html. I was thinking about trying to jointly train the html and an image of the webpage, in the vague hope that you might be able to go from image to webpage. One day. Probably quite soon...
This. It's about economics. It's about extracting value from the parents. It's about making the children, who are the workers of the future, more compliant.
You may consider it conspiracy theory, to me it's just obvious.
You really think people will prefer driving themselves to work rather than kicking back and doing whatever they fancy on the way? Driving a long distance? Punch in the destination and get some sleep, glorious
This does not need any shiny packaging to be a no brainer. It's a drop dead delicious invention.
That some even entertain the notion that they don't want one goes to show how clueless people are. They are just saying what they think everyone else thinks, without engaging thier brain.
Can anyone fill me in on how reducing employee rights can be morally defended? I just don't see how people with this opinion can look people in the eye and not feel ashamed.
Its obviously traditional gender roles leaking into the minds of children. We instinctively pick up on what society expects us to be and our personality evolves around those loci. To fix this problem you have to drive out one of the most ingrained aspects of all cultures everywhere. I'm definitely not saying it's right, I'm fairly extreme, I think skirts and high heels are particularly poisonus expressions of this cultural norm.
Have you considered that pehaps he cant stop thinking because biologically his body is not ready to shut down? Sonetimes it's impossible to just stop thinking. Try taking 100mg of caffeine and try to meditate. Totally impossible.
I really cant see a reason for this. I would be quite surprised if there was a reason for this other than, the original developer/s working on the software/installer were inexperienced and didn't consider installing to a secondary drive important. Once you've made a decision like this at the outset it can be quite awkward to undo, the hard coding kind of leaks its way into lots of different corners of the appliction.
You don't get how brains work. Advertising is wildly effective because underneath the human is a monkey. If the monkey sees bananas always paired with ipods, the monkey will want an ipod. It might not fit neatly into your everyone is responsible for themselves world view, but thems the apples. Deal.
Companies should be charged for these externalities. Going to pollute? How many people a year will this kill? What is the economic cost of these deaths? Levy that sum on the companies. Very simple. Then lets see who funds the research into cleaner tech.
Medical research is currently a clusterfuck. It is an absolute non sense to create throw away data for the purpose of verifying or falsifying one theory. Fucking morons. Sometimes I think I'm the only sane person on this rock, but I used to think that maybe I was just arrogant. Nope. Now I am older and wiser now and I realise its just true.
Well. I think you might be getting a little bit too eager with your reductionist approach to mental illness. Sure there is a large genetic component to schizophrenia - I was terrified for years that I might have it because my mother did. I think it more likely that shizophrenia is a heterogenous illness - there are many pathways to the same disease state. It is quite a bold statement to say that none of these pathways are in any way effected by the environment in which we develop. Especially given what we know about the association between early traumatic experiences and various disease states.
It may not fit nicely into your mental model of the world, but biology is extremely messy business. It appears that biological systems, although heirachical and modular are, unlike human engineering, highly interconnected across all the levels. Particularly: The health of the mind effects the health of the body and the health of the body effects the health of the mind. If you do not believe this you have not learnt enough, or like many, you have ideoligical issues with this reality.
Ive also heard it said in seemingly respectable articles that no one is sure if the grey matter dies off because of the disease itself or because of the medication to treat the psychotic symptoms.
