Two Facts of Life
1. You can not convince an atheist to believe in God
2. You can not convince a God-believer to become an atheist.
#2 is not true. I was a strong believer, then I turned 12. Did someone convince you to change your belief, or did you change your own belief by yourself? It was a slow process, but piece by piece the Catholic storyline stopped making sense. Reading Bible accelerated my loss of faith. What a bunch of hogwash! Stoning, killing babies, cutting off hands, flat Earth, talking snakes, 6000-year-old Earth, 6 days creation, living in the stomach of a whale etc. Too much to stomach. Read any science textbook, then re-read the Bible again. See what you get. I bet you, you will not get through Genesis before you become an Atheist. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1367154.0 You forgot to be a critic after you turned 12, you found a doctrine that was convincing enough, I recognize there's some truth in science however there's no proof to convince me that God doesn't exist, there's no proof about the creation of the earth point of view from science, there's no proof of evolution, you then forgot to analyze and examine the evidence of the veracity of the bible, it's everywhere, geological proof, historical proof, the miracles that are in video, then this proof doesn't matter, you became such a critic that became selective about what proof to believe in. Could you please share some of these miracles recorded on a video? And while I think that all of that is in Bible cannot be taken in word by word but is rather a metaphorical story I don't understand how can you say there is no proof of evolution? Also, a few friends of mine who have faith in God have not approached this issue by saying that there is no such thing as evolution (as there is scientific proof behind it) but rather said that they believe god is the creator of things that can be explained by science as well. Your arguments here however are not really based on anything except for anger. |

I think one of the issues which needs to be solved with AI assistants is its not just a dumb speaker; but some of the requests, it doesn't just phone home for the servers to respond to the question, rather if its a typical everyday command its stored locally in the machine.
That way its not constantly sending stuff to external servers..
I'm somewhere in between with this and quite unsure what to believe. It definitely makes sense that it's not sending all the information back for analysis as it only reacts only to certain phrases, but then again, if we believe so strongly that someone is in fact, spying on us through our laptop web cameras then home assistant AI would be just as useful if not more useful for gaining various information, no? |

This topic makes me think of the movie BlacKkKlansman - yes it is comedy/drama, but still directs the issue that we see in today's society and all the hatred that is spread. I believe there are hundred many more cases just like these two and this is just the tip of the iceberg sadly.

Related: why West hates when Russia is protecting it's borders?
Gorby dismantled USSR on promises NATO will not extend. Those promises were broken.
So West is crying four years now about Crimea suddenly lost to NATO bases, and pretends there are no
legitimate borders that need to be protected. Including South border of USA.
Aren't these totally different things? I mean, one thing is occupying a part of another country and totally different is that you want to keep all people of colour out of your country? |

I really don't think it will be replaced by anything anytime soon. Even people who are not in crypto world yet know about Bitcoin... for them blockchain and bitcoin are the same thing.

I've been trying to use my phone less by holding it on silent and not receiving social media notifications. Actually helps. Also the apps that show you how much you actually spend time on your phone are rather good.

what is currently wrong with the employment process? I wouldn't be happy if everyone could see where I've applied especially as I'm still at my old job and I don't want my boss finding out I'm applying for other positions
