How do you get rid of gigawatts of waste heat every day?

Heat up rocks and drop them?

Not only that, but people are relying on third-parties to keep the data available 24/7/365 until the end of time. I can tell you for a fact that if a company goes under, so does your data. I had an SVN repository hosted by a third-party. The company went tits-up and al of that data is now gone. There might be a backup of it somewhere but it's inaccessible to the company's customers. This is really no different that relying on some physical media to store data. Long gone are 7-inch, 5-inch, 3.5 inch floppy disks. Gone are Syquest disks. Gone are magneto-optical disks. Gone are Zip drives. Gone are magnetic tape drives of bunchteen flavors. CD-ROMs are probably still readable... if you can find a drive for them. Compact Flash probably still work. SD cards and Micro SD cards, plenty of those around... if you can remember what was on them because you can't easily label them. Oops, did you roll over one with your desk chair? Sayonara. External hard drives? Oh, did it use some long-dead interface like SCSI? Heh. And the drive is also hopelessly stuck. Not to worry though. Most of that data wasn't important anyway.

Your question implies that it is a subjective matter and that anyone can render a verdict. My point was that information is objective not subjective.

You keep using the word hoax but clearly have no idea what the word means.

I like everything you wrote but wish to point out that the word can suggests it might not be happening right now. These idiots are dangerous and people suffer every day because they are allowed to shoot their ignorant nonsense. It's not something that can happen, but rather something that *is happening*.

Misinformation has a definition. Hint, if someone thinks there is such a thing as alternate facts they can't tell accurate information from misinformation. Of you go now ...

Yeah, I'm sure Morgan & Morgan are just salivating at the thought of companies sending 8 ton death machines out on the highways unsupervised. They are probably training the lawyers right now that will manage whole AI lawyer divisions.

Some people will always want to lord it over a chauffeur, even a time-share one. A self-driving car does not provide that subservient human touch.

You don't seem to know the difference between source code and assembly code. Source code has comments and variables with properly chosen names that cannot be derived from the binaries. That first statement means you don't really have any experience writing software and reverse engineering.

No real CS student (aka hacker in the vernacular sense) is ever concerned with A let alone B or C. They are only interested in exploration of technology and how to make it do things that the designers and gatekeepers never intended. Read Steven Levy's book.

* Obvious typo is obvious

No; it is not. They are decriminalized based on qualifications. There actually is such a thing a being over-qualified. They also aren't going to hire anyone else who they know will jump ship at the first opportunity who is likely to find one.

Think all of that wind and solar was free? And while we're on the subject, the Salt River Project in Arizona boasts that they are a non-profit company which means that any "profit" doesn't really get returned to the customer but rather to upper management.

Only the UN would expect first-world countries to slit their own throats because a bunch of third-world countries did. Sometimes I wish that line from Heavy Metal were true "The UN? It's been turned into low-rent housing."
