  1. That's the thing. The decision is tomorrow. It's way to early too know how this agreement will actually turn out.
  2. Trump is blessed? What sort of alternative facts universe do you live in to actually believe that.
  3. Yeah I agree. Maybe next year IF things go as hoped. Big ifs.
  4. I think he won't win and that he shouldn't win. But he has a chance so at least there is a little bit of drama.
  5. Voting for this poll ends tomorrow at 2 PM Thailand time.
  6. OK I admit this was a paranoid thought but another reason I decided to go for 11 before the deadline was that I haven't ever read a promise from Microsoft that the upgrade will always be free a year from now. Of course there is no rational reason to think it wouldn't be. If they wanted to milk the stragglers, they certainly could, eh?
  7. So I'll put you down as against guaranteed minimum income regardless of how many unemployed people there are.
  8. Also consider that 11 has already been out there for a long time already so you don't have the issues of a buggy new release.
  9. As I said before I didn't do anything special at all. From my Windows 10 PC I simply chose upgrade to 11 and did it. It never asked for my Microsoft account and my account was definitely not already logged onto when I did the upgrade.
  10. What appears to be coming is not only a revolutionary shakeup of sociétés but one that will happen very quicky. In the context of other shakeups such as the U.S. withdrawing from global leadership and in war cheap drones bettering billion dollar hardware, it's hard to not feel a little bit sorry for young people.
  11. AI used wisely really could bring on utopias. But history and human nature tells us it's much more likely to create dystopias. Oh well.
  12. Things are going to change a lot faster than people are prepared for. There will obviously be government and political implications. It seems to me that different countries will take a different path about that. Some will go much more socialist with base guaranteed income and free drugs to placate the masses, and others will go full on totalitarian to control the inevitable unrest and riots as the rich will become even richer and not want to share. I am not seeing a golden age where most people become intellectuals and poets. Then there are philosophical questions -- does the world really need so many people as they're being made obsolete?
  13. Sure but it will need MUCH FEWER people to do the human part.
  14. As I said I am liking 11 so far. But I had no issue with 10 at all so I doubt I would have ever upgraded without the nudge. Ain't broke -- why fix it.
  15. Complete utter delusional denial.
  16. Try Cholos in North Pattaya. (20+) Facebook Will post more later. But I do like their tacos better than their burritos, Especially the Baja Fish tacos. Best salsas I've had in Thailand.
  17. This time, it's different. Previous revolutionary technological advancements disrupted many people but then created even more new jobs and greater overall wealth related to the new technology. Personally, my career didn't even exist until I was over 30. I couldn't have been involved in it earlier before. My general not technical liberal arts education prepared me to jump in when as soon as the change happened. That was then. This is now. AI will be a massive job disrupter (which is a massive understatement) but will other than a small number of AI manager types for the super skilled, the majority of those disrupted will not find that AI leads to new career paths. I'm sure glad I didn't bother to learn to code!
  18. It's time to say it. Trump is EVIL. The enemy within is Trump.
  19. I wouldn't worry too much. Jews comprise .2 percent of the world population. OK, maybe a concern for you in the unlikely event of you moving to Boca Raton.
  20. I don't care about his appearance but happily the Thai government isn't so stupid as to even consider banning all Israelis or any other nationality that I'm aware of.
  21. I find your post bizarre and incoherent. Maybe I just don't speak maga cult-ese.
  22. They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs!
  23. Yes I agree it's outrageous but I don't share your optimism that they will reverse it.
