  • Pathetic. Hopefully the rest of the world doesn't follow suit. Renaming it just for one of Trump's ego trips is not a good reason.

  • Very sorry to hear this.

  • You're forgetting that the President is typically a decent, honorable, heroic individual in many of those films too.

  • This sounds like a really bad idea:

    The “most charismatic” application of AI, said Ellison, would pertain to electronic health records, which would let doctors monitor best practices in far flung places. For instance, a doctor in Indian River reservation would be able to see how a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering would a treat a patient, he said.

    Do we really want to give a black box unfettered access to everyone's medical records? It's a privacy and security nightmare waiting to happen.

  • Just send him offworld and close the iris.

  • IIRC, there are quite a few episodes of Voyager showing the hypospray being loaded/reloaded with a cartridge. It's unclear how many doses are contained in the cartridge, but typically more than one. I would think that for most treatments the Sickbay replicator just produces a ready-to-use batch of cartridges, whereas for more specialised medication the EMH has to actually make it up manually.

  • Pretty sure they don't want any other skills. That would be a threat to them.

  • This is not surprising, but neither is it going to make any difference, unfortunately.

  • Definitely the latter.

  • One of the parcel delivery drivers in my area does that. Usually I can get whatever parcel is on the doorstep to shift enough (without damaging it) to squeeze out the front door, but I'm expecting at some point to have to go out the back door because the parcel blocking the front door will be too heavy!

  • I guess I'll be avoiding those models when I'm next in the market for a TV, or work out how to disable it/block it at my router if I am forced to connect the TV to the Internet for firmware updates, etc.

  • Unfortunately the right seems to be much better at propaganda (on a number of levels) and I suspect people who are struggling with any of those problems - mental health, physical health, financial, etc. - are more vulnerable to it. Even worse is that it may be too painful for them to accept that they were wrong about something important (e.g. supporting Trump and co) and the internal conflict would likely worsen their mental health.

  • Poor bloke. This sounds like he was in a lot of pain. I feel for his family and friends.

    In his writings, the driver of the Cybertruck said the incident was intended not as a “terrorist attack” but rather “a wake-up call,” according to police. He wrote in a letter recovered by investigators that “Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence” and “fireworks and explosives” were best to get his point across. Livelsberger wrote that he needed to “cleanse” his mind of the “brothers I’ve lost” and relieve himself of “the burden of the lives I took.” He said the US was “terminally ill and headed towards collapse.”

  • Interesting. I can imagine a scenario where the resolution of CCTV is low enough that a mask would impede recognition in that instance. It's definitely not something I would want to rely on, though.

  • Sadly, these figures don't surprise me.

  • Trump has given the racists permission to attack anyone they don't like.

  • They're only just working this out now? Of course he's going to cut them.
