alternative_right writes: It turned out that people who resorted to prosocial lies (those intended to spare someone distress) were evaluated as more moral than those who told the truth directly. "Prosocial liars" who provided overly optimistic feedback, were perceived positively, likely because they demonstrated sensitivity to the needs of the other party.

Nope. Every true-Scottsman driver would have intuited the child preparing to leap from behind a parked car just as his car passed by. Humans are hardwired to do that .. both ... computers not so much. It's like giving your gal-pal flowers on the Thursday , when 6-years ago she lost her freckles.

alternative_right writes: The age of humans is increasingly an age of sameness. Across the planet, distinctive plants and animals are disappearing, replaced by species that are lucky enough to thrive alongside humans and travel with us easily. Some scientists have a word for this reshuffling of life: the Homogenocene.

Yes, normal people enjoy new experiences, problem solving and interacting personally with external agents. Of-course I'm personally involved with maintaining plumbing and wiring in my home, as I am with lawn mowing and tending the gooseberry plants. Not overwhelmed, not multi-tasked , not isolated and not pandered --- we desire mid-range interactions and human contact as Aristotle observed. It's to the financial advantage of BIG-DATA companies that they replace all other personal interactions with human-->computer addiction.

Well spoken. Drives a wooden stake into the heart of post-mod blood-sucking "innovation". Does anyone listen, and if so what's the end-game ?

alternative_right writes: Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem on its head by building a tiny quantum refrigerator that actually uses noise to drive cooling instead of fighting it. By carefully steering heat at unimaginably small scales, the device can act as a refrigerator, heat engine, or energy amplifier inside quantum circuits.

Yes indeed. And you bake your own French bread, fuck your own woman, catch your own brook-trout , write your own GOTOs and read your own Heart-of-Darkness. Throw baseballs with your own daughter & son. Worship your own gawd. Sounds good to me. Bet you know toxic fucks who do all "IT" digitally.

Attached to: 'Hundreds' of Gatik Robot Delivery Trucks Headed For US Roads
During truck deliveries by free-lance owner-operators the unloading is often performed by an unofficial, but well organized "grey market". Workers "appear" at the unloading site ( unemployed/illegals/felons/2nd-jobbers ) and do the merch unloading; they are paid cash by the owner-driver; very "leaky" transfer, but no tax no bonding no security-check no union.

"... middle-mile trucking, which, like long-haul routes, has a severe shortage of human drivers, according to Narang." No doubt bitch-Narang lies through his teeth. Wonder they don't melt ! Yes I DO have several friends in the trucking business, and for the last 40 years there have been plenty of skilled USA-citizen owner-drivers. Only issue has been driving-out the toxic border-jumping illegals. Some states and trucking companies pimp-their-ride to buy votes or lower costs. Scabs should be neekapped.

"Neanderthals are considered to be descendants of Homo Erectus (as are Homo Sapiens). " This assertion is probably wrong. Fair chance HSS has/have been around a long long time, evolving alongside those commonly called ancestors. Who "taught" hand-axe chipping to those 750,000 YO Moroccans? We did.

Your comment is non-trival. The answer will probably be YES ... very-good tool makers are a different (sub)species from Homo-sapien. Probably true-Scottsmen are yet another race ... that's the drift of some modern genetics research. Don't have a cow.

Fewer goods will cost more, when American manufacture is required, but that's OKey. Tuff luck Karen and Biff ! Proles will have meaningful jobs, and NOTHING ... (repeat) NOTHING is more important than that in a (re)publican culture. Meaningful job means: if "they"(citizen) don't produce it then you( all other citizens) do without. In case of fewer dildoes we get more pregnant women. In case of fewer PCs, we more clever "computers"( maths people). In case of fewer foods, we get more self-harvested home canning. Who says food harvested by migrant labor benefits a (re)publican culture? But, the culture is self-governing, self-sustaining and self disciplined. It will last a very long time at the cost of a bit of bling.

Do you want to live forever? Live fast die fast is a perfectly functional meme. Survive service. Get a hottie to cover-your-back, a coal-burning 1960s Brit sportster and Montana A-frame. Tie your own dry-flies and guide those that cannot. G*d will come for you in His own time.
