Comment Re:Fireworks Fatalities Much Lower in UK where Leg (Score 1) 106

so how is it that guns are perfectly legal while you are banning fireworks?

It's not legal to fire guns indiscriminately or in lots of specific areas, either.

So making fireworks legal - while putting some limits of the types of fireworks allowed

If they cut us off from fireworks, we make them.

Comment Re:Singularity via Human neural network (Score 1) 49

This is kind of funny, but if you assume that this book was written by AI, which is being used to train humans on it's hallucinations to program / improve AI, this almost becomes a link to singularity, with humans brains as part of the neural net.

That would be a hive mind, not the singularity, because at no point will it become effectively infinitely intelligent. Instead, the stupidities multiply. It's literally the opposite of a singularity.

That's like a man only dating married women....hoping they will leave their husband for him...problematic, foolish, stupid...but that's how tech works, unfortunately.

That's exactly what I thought of. Not even necessarily married, just in a relationship. But if he'll leave someone for her, he'll leave her for someone else, so that's the dumbest possible decision.

"In exchange for this you will get access to substantially more money than if you didn't go to college."

No you don't. You have a CHANCE to access that.

The problem is there are much more college graduates than jobs that warrant that "substantially more money".

The hardest hit are those with certain arts or humanities jobs -- at least as far as pay. a BA/BS just isn't going to win you that 6-figure pay to allow someone to pay off their student loans unless you planned your major very well.

To be fair, some of the blame goes to employers. They want experience and real world skills -- which virtually NOBODY has right out of college. Its like they are hunting unicorns instead of training horses.

I'm sure the state needs all the money it can get from it's citizens. You know, to give them all the social services it gives to those in need.

Correct. Since the federal government is cutting essential social services which keep people alive, California is going to have to step up again and pay for the stuff you broke bitches can't afford, like health care.
