411,100 | He plays a 27 song set. I'll let a nigga talk for a bit if I get to hear 27 jams. | I was honestly surprised to see the setlist after seeing him at Bonnaroo. Those shitty rants took me so far out of the performance, I didn't even realize he played that much music. Granted, he did one verse from a lot of different songs, so they lasted much much shorter, but yeah, fuck those rants. That whole part of the show is so fucking dumb it's not even funny. It's like watching a parody of Kanye, except it's real. |
411,101 | I'm not trying to be contrary but isn't that exactly how live pop music sounds? | Depends whether the vocalist can actually sing or not. Plenty of them can, even in the pop world. |
411,102 | >It's still not fully clear but, "The adaptation will tell new stories based in the period preceding The Fellowship of the Ring" No that's pretty damn clear, pal | To me fully clear would have been telling us which parts of the canon they had access to. |
411,103 | Okay, I must be the only one here who thinks the poster looks just fine. My first thought wasn't "this looks photoshopped." | probably just lack of experience, not trying to call out anyone, but when you've worked with Adobe for a fairly long time, you can easily tell when something's done right and something is mediocre |
411,104 | I have no idea. But the problem with print magazines is their information is often old by the time it gets to print. And if there are any changes or updates, they either don't get mentioned in later issues, or you have to wait another month to get that information. That's why PC hardware reviewing web sites have an edge on this stuff. | Very few reviews report on long term stability. By definition it is not "news". |
411,105 | There was a record recently by the bloke from Portishead that was supposed to be the music for the new dredd film. Called something like music inspired by drokk or something. They ended up not using it on the film, but its pretty cool in that electro soundtrack style. Also check out john carpenter soundtracks for old school ones. | Yea , I saw Dredd in cinemas great movie , the intro soundtrack was really well done too ? |
411,106 | There's a long list of words to be banned on their social media website Weibo I believe - not actual physical book banning. Brave New World is on the list as well. What's more concerning about China is their Communist Party just abolished term limits which enables totalitarianism somewhat easier. They also have that intensely creepy all-seeing surveillance system and police with facial recognition glasses. But yes haha I know this is r/books | The most dystopian thing I can think of is their citizen ranking system |
411,107 | I was lucky to have read it in college for an existentialism class (insert hoity-toity cocktail party laugh here). I wrote a paper on it. It was one of the best works I read for the class! I have no idea what it would have done to my high school brain, had I read it then. Was it the first time you had read a book like that? How much did it influence you at that time? Sorry, I don't mean to pry, I'm just really curious! | Haha no worries! I'd read Black Boy by Richard Wright the year before, and I read all of James McBride's novels soon after. I didn't focus so much on the existentialism, I was more fascinated by the historical aspects, how this one man dealt with all of this stuff happening to him and the way society was at the time. |
411,108 | Nine Inch Nails. I've been following Trent for years and have to say that the style has changed so much over the years but there are a few entire albums that should be enjoyed in their entirety. The 3 songs though are these: [David Bowie and NIN - I'm Afraid of Americans] [Wish] [The Perfect Drug] The entire Year Zero Album is probably my favorite and I couldn't single out just one song from it so I recommend moving on to that after listening to these 3. | I was just telling someone the other day how awesome Year Zero is. Loved Ghosts too, but that seems to be a love it or hate it album from what I've seen. |
411,109 | I don't do this. I get really absorbed in music and have a hard time focusing on other stuff. | Interesting! I would've thought it would have been the other way around. |
411,110 | A Day to Remember is my favorite band, but holy shit do Jeremy's vocals suck live. | Thought I was the only one who thought this. They put on an awesome show, but goddammit the vocals were terrible. |
411,111 | As a high school English teacher, I'm kind of surprised your teacher thought Yellow Wallpaper was a good idea to teach to middle schoolers. I teach it to my juniors, and some of the ideas in the story are beyond some of them. | Well, she did like us quite a bit and thought we were a bit more mature than her previous classes. We also read a bit of Shirley Jackson. |
411,112 | Not to mention people want to read the next installment. | well yeah. But publishing whole books was much harder even such a short time like 1950's. Especially in genre fiction like scifi and fantasy which is why there were quite a few magazines publishing them a few chapters at a time. It also gave people an option to read a bit before they decided if they like it or not. |
411,113 | Cliche, but Relapse by Eminem. Em flows like a champ on this album and all the Dre beats are awesome. | I couldn't get passed "It's three A.M. in the morning. " |
411,114 | HP's memristors do not use graphene. Last I heard it was some combination of titanium oxide. | I never said it would be made of graphene. I was commenting on the data channels that use light to transmit data. Graphene is perfectly suited for that role. |
411,115 | Surprisingly not all who leaves these reform schools/camps have bad things to say about them. | I would imagine the beatings, forced labor, torture, and mental reconditioning they undergo has a hand in that. |
411,116 | The Jabberwock. (The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!) | Makes me all sad for the generally ignored slithy toves and borogoves. Or maybe not sad, just outgrabe, like the mome raths. |
411,117 | Right if you made 50k more a year to spend on a house what else would you really need to spend on? | What? It's still not enough to pay a mortgage on. |
411,118 | Whenever I introduce something, be it a film or song, I have trained myself to not be there when they experience it. Because, like you, I have that big smile as I watch and look for their reaction. Every time I do that, I feel like a sleazy car salesman... | It's true I often find the more hyped up you are about something you're trying to share with someone the less likely they are to enjoy it. Pressure to enjoy is distracting and kills enjoyment. |
411,119 | Does anyone else think he sounds just like Kevin Spacey? | Now that you've said so, he can't *not* sound like Kevin Spacey to me. |
411,120 | He said he had his phone stolen so he couldnt... I hope this is real | you'd log onto, for example, verizonwireless.com, check that month's texting OR calling history, check off the people who are your friends. if gmail was linked to the phone, it will save many of your contacts whether or not you like it. if you contact the phone company and prove who you are, you could also find out about this. but maybe just a karma story idk friend |
411,121 | "What if we drug him and kill his family" Or, here's a fucking thought. Why don't you drug him, then kill ... him. | The point of drugging him then framing him for his family's murder was to diminish his influence; the villain even said it himself, hercules was so popular the people may have wanted him to become their king. If he straight up killed him and his family, the bad guy would've made him a martyr and bam, full scale rebelllion. As terrible of a movie as it was, the logic behind the family murders made sense |
411,122 | Fuck everyone upvoting this. You people are the problem with reddit. How would you feel if someone violated your privacy and spread your pictures on the Internet? Just because she's famous doesn't mean your entitled to see her nude. Seeing all of the misogynistic and hypocritical assholes like you on this site annoys me so much. | Good for you. I feel the exact same way. Fucking teenage boys don't get it. |
411,123 | They were not Inuit, it was inspired by what seemed to be more or less similar to Haida to Salish-style traditions. | Don't know why you were down-voted, Haida or Salish to be sure, the setting in Brother Bear was much more west coast than tundra. I could see how they'd be mistaken for Inuit though |
411,124 | It's not in your time limitation, but: House of Leaves | I've seen this one come up on a lot of lists of the best of the best. I don't mind widening my time frame at all for a great haunted house book. |
411,125 | I felt the exact same way. I was really looking forward to seeing it and had very high hopes. I was expecting a classic car action movie with an art-house twist, but what we got instead was Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks stabbing/beating people to death. It should have been a fun movie, but instead it just got more and more grim and unpleasant. | So you didn't like it because it wasn't what you expected? Or you didn't like the darkness? Or just plain didn't like it? |
411,126 | > I've never been to a cinema that expected you to take your rubbish out. Whaaa? I've never been to a theater that expected you *not* to pick up after yourself. It's just an unwritten rule not to litter or leave trash in places. Throw your garbage away. My gum may have lost its flavor but I don't stick it to things; I wait for a trash can. My cup may be empty but I don't just leave it in someone else's business; I wait until I get to the trash and throw it away. | Of course I don't just litter in my day to day life but in reality there is nowhere to leave stuff in the cinema. There are none at the actual screen and only a handful dotted around the cinema. They would need to be huge to account for everyone dumping stuff and would probably be pretty disgusting. Having staff come and clean the screen makes more sense since it keeps them clean for each viewing and keeps the mountains of rubbish out of sight. |
411,127 | I don't understand reddit's distaste for anything by Seth MacFarlane. Sure family guy isn't as funny and the Cleveland show sucked, but American Dad is still hilarious and I thought Ted was pretty damn funny. I have faith that this movie is going to be funny. | I can never have enough of roger, he's such a dick but it's hilarious. |
411,128 | I absolutely loved this movie! The fights were really well shot especially the first one and the love interest wasn't forced and felt really genuine. Thought it was a lot better than Southpaw | Yeah, I was taken a little bit out of it with the fight scenes in Southpaw. Similar films though. They're both more drama's than action films. The love story in this film was better done than a lot of dedicated romance films. What did you think of Stallone? There seemed to be a lot of ADR, but he's legit great IMHO. I've always liked Sly, but in this he's actually incredible. |
411,129 | i heard they had to digitally remove the coke from neil young's nose when they released it on dvd in 2002. i haven't seen the original version. | Regardless of how coked out he might have been, his set was fabulous. |
411,130 | Are you French? Here we only read Brazilian books during high school :( | Nah American. I was in AP so that might've been it. |
411,131 | It's really bothering me how everyone is saying all their best songs are from their newest album. Their self titled album is one of my favorite albums of all time. | They're all new fans. [pretty sure] The old albums aren't on iTunes. |
411,132 | Wait, that can happen??? Welp, looks like its time to do a Renegade/Paragade shep playthrough. | It's not tied to being a Renegade, just to having a high score in either direction. Paragon Shep can talk him into killing himself as well. |
411,133 | Snow Crash has simultaneously the greatest and worst surprise sex scene I've ever encountered in a book. | Surprise sex as in 'Surprise, here's a sex scene!' or surprise sex as in 'surprise, we're having sex whether you want to or not!' ? |
411,134 | I'm guessing they feel compelled to frame the story for the reader, and perhaps there's a little bit of trying to diffrientiate their edition from all the others you can by. "Introduced by [insert popular author]" does have a bit of a ring to it. I don't know why they would assume the reader is having another go at it, especially when the book is "War and Peace." I always read introductions last. | Now I know but I feel so cheated right now. Publishers should take a page from the internet and impose spoiler alerts... |
411,135 | I totally agree with this. What happened to actually expressing disagreement than simply modding people into oblivion for having a different opinion. | /r/books has had two front-page posts in two days so the mouth-breathers are out in force :) |
411,136 | She's totally underappreciated. What amazes me the most is that she put out "The Cheer Leader" AND "July 7th," two amazing books, on the same day when she was only 26. She's really a gift. "Going Away Shoes"-- I read a story or two in there and I definitely like her novels better. Thanks for the suggestion about Shields-- I'll check it out. | Which stories in *Shoes* did you read? "P.S." and "Driving to the Moon" are the best. |
411,137 | It's very underrated. I wish Tarantino would do more of these low key movies instead of the highly stylized ones we have seen since Kill Bill. | 2 of my favorite movies (both from Q.T.) are Jackie Brown (his most low key) and Kill Bill (I count both as one 'film' - also, it's his most stylized). |
411,138 | This is not a server with connexions that are otherwise equal in design. These are real streets, that were built to a certain standard based on expected traffic, with often residential housing or even schools. So no, it's not plain "better" to redirect major traffic to small streets. You'll notice that when there's a necessity to do so, authorities will often bring on cops, to regulate traffic and often to operate traffic lights that were not programmed to receive this amount of traffic. | It makes locals unhappy, sure. But it resolves the traffic problem slightly more efficiently, which is the point here. Locals are always in tension with what they would term “through traffic,” but they get some benefits economically from it. “Better” is always subjective. |
411,139 | if you know the name of the book this is a good place to search for it | I searched for Kierkegaard and could only find *funny sayings and inspirational quotes* |
411,140 | This is phenomenally ignorant. Using many cores with both parallelism and concurrency is hugely dependent on the software architecture of what is running. Has anyone figured it out? Yeah, actually a lot of people have. I'm guessing you are just repeating cliches you've read elsewhere. | I am repeating what my processes show on my machine. I look at the cores that are active when I run software at home and at work, and I notice how often I am waiting, waiting, waiting for a non-disk dependent process to finish, and the CPU process in question is sitting at 12.5%, or 25% or 50%, steady and consistent. Those are unused cores. And I'm still waiting. You are delusional if you believe that software development has kept up with core-frenzy. |
411,141 | So you've never heard "I Come From the Water" or "Tyler" I take it? The Toadies got a lot of radio play in Texas. | No I haven't and I was BIG into alternative music on the early to mid nineties. Maybe it was a Texas thing? |
411,142 | They're fine as b-sides or whatever, but putting a standard cover on an album, or releasing one as a single, proabably means the covering artist is shit. Despite the pleas of deserate hipster children, Buckley's Hellelujah is better than the original in every way. Still wouldn't make a list of favourites though. Here are some good ones that are in mind right now: [Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray] covering Soft Cell. [Love Song - Jack Off Jill] covering The Cure. [A Little Respect - Wheatus] covering Erasure. [Take Me To The River - Talking Heads] covering Al Green. [Love Will Tear Us Apart - Susanna And The Magical Orchestra] covering Joy Division. [It Hurts Me Too - Bob Dylan] covering Elmore James. | I disagree. Covers are sometimes what people remember best from an artist from their show. It's not necessarily meaning they can't write (usually because there's only one or two per album- if the originals are any good the band is too.) |
411,143 | The point of assigning books for AP English tests is to pick ones that can be drawn on for the final essays. There are plenty of other books that can provoke discussion, and my bigger concern is that students lacking any real grasp of Camus' philosophy won't "get" *The Stranger,* and reading it too early will prevent them from revisiting it later. | But wouldn't it be the teacher's responsibility to guide the students toward understanding the philosophy in the assigned reading? The teacher couldn't possibly be worth their salt if they assigned something like that and failed to lead the class towards the deeper understanding of it. |
411,144 | I did not know there was a remake. I saw the 70s version in the theater. | Its especially relevant because the film focuses on the pilots controlling the Mechagodzilla unit. There are two films that proceed it which follow along that particular story arch as well. **EDIT** added a word |
411,145 | Why would people be burnt out? There are tons of action movies released each year, and nobody has gotten tired of them yet. | Do those action movies have the same characters in the same universe fighting the same bad guys every single time? |
411,146 | Well technically Zombie movies have been around long before Night of the Living Dead. | Can you name any? I really hope you're not talking about one of those movies where some voodoo priestess brain washes some guy. That's not a zombie. That's a brainwashed guy. Frankenstein doesn't count either. |
411,147 | [*Abres los ojos*] Open Your Eyes, in English. It was remade in Hollywood with Tom Cruise as Vanilla Sky. I've heard good things about Vanilla Sky, but I can't bring myself to watch it, because I love this one so much. | Don't. The girl I love second most in this world counts the remake as her favorite movie so there must be something to it, but I couldn't stand it. And I like alk the cast. Not sure what it is. |
411,148 | What's the end goal here? When you say you want to be needed, are you hoping to get a job in IT? If so, what kind of job? It might be better to set a goal for yourself ("I want to be a programmer" or "I want to be a network administrator"). That will provide some focus and keep you orientated toward your goal. IT is a diverse field with many specialties. | Network administration seems like the most ideal situation. I'd love to learn to program, but I'm more interesting in job stability than I am with being a contractor. My knowledge doesn't go very far beyond building pc's and using them at a basic level. Browsing the web and downloading files is about all I do. But I want to do so much more... I want to tap into this damn machine's potential! I'm so tired of just browsing social media, watching movies, and listening to music. |
411,149 | All of my friends: "Why won't you read *In the Name of the Wind*?!" Me: "Because I've been to this rodeo with Jordan and Martin. And I'm done. I'll check in when Rothfuss actually finishes the damn thing." | If I could turn back the hands of time I certainly would have waited also |
411,150 | An American pint is 16 oz, a British pint is nearly 20 oz. | A British pint is *exactly* 20fl oz. That's why the UK gallon is ~4.5L and the US gallon is only ~3.7L |
411,151 | You mean fans? Like you seem to be a fan of George Miller.. What's the difference besides you're a cunt? | Well, George Miller knows how to actually make a movie and not just a 2 hour music video for one. |
411,152 | From what I've heard I bet Carol is in the running for best actress as well among other nominations. | Carol really shouldn't be. It's good but nothing Oscar worthy |
411,153 | why the fuck would a recording studio get a cut of merch sales. literally zero people in this thread have any idea how the music industry works | Because labels are starting to sign artists with contracts stating they get a percent of merch sales... |
411,154 | at first i read this as sex drive and thought "hey that's a pretty funny movie cmon" then i read it again.... you're right, fuck that movie | >sex drive. This would be a great name for an amateur porn site. |
411,155 | In Windows 8.1 you don't even have to press the enter key, it starts searching while you type and you can simply click/highlight+enter on the one you want. So, if anything, it takes less steps, making it *more* efficient in 8.1 than in 7. | > it starts searching while you type and you can simply click/highlight+enter on the one you want. That's exactly how Windows 7 works too. My point is: The process a user takes is _identical_. |
411,156 | I'm with you almost completely. I started the series in the late 90s and wish I could have most of the time back. The culmination bored me to tears (Lan being the exception, though I think even that was way over the top). Despite my efforts to go back in time to when I discovered the series and let the nostalgic escapist fantasy world I loved as a teen wash over me, it just didn't feel like it had any punch. But, it doesn't come close to the loathing I have for the Sword of Truth series. I won't get into that. All this said, Sanderson is a better writer and I discovered him through this project. I've enjoyed the Stormlight Archive immensely so far. | I had a friend recommend Sanderson's Elantris to me. It's very good, as is Warbreaker. I had trouble getting into the Mistborn series' second book, but I'll probably give it another shot at some point. |
411,157 | The experience that you described is familiar, but it doesn't line up with your bizarre title. I love my friends and family far more than movies. But it does annoy me that I don't really have the type of friends who want to go see more fringe releases. I've seen 47 movies this year in theaters. More than half of those I've gone to alone. | Ah, I see what you mean. What I mean is I love movies and film way more than they do. Sorry. |
411,158 | Most of that chorus is E minor, G major, and D major. Most of which is octaves which are power chords without the fifth or power chords. So not true... | So.. almost every song ever written. You said specifically power chords, which produce a different sound and is played different than regular chords. |
411,159 | More a Fabricator-General than the outright Omnissiah but time will tell just how much he furthers mankind’s destiny to be a spacefaring species and conquer the galaxy purging Xenos along the way. | KILL THE MUTANT. BURN THE HERETIC. PURGE THE UNCLEAN |
411,160 | is this sarcasm? i cant tell. could you please add a "/s" if your response is sarcasm | I see you added a /s so you're saying your comment is sarcasm, but it sounds completely serious to me. I'm confused. |
411,161 | well, Griffith is is likable and understandable up until a point. Umbridge is just a complete bitch from the start | Umbridge might be a bitch but Griffith is [Spoiler](#s "Literally Satan.") |
411,162 | "True AI" by your definition would likely be a nearly useless tool for most practical applications. Programs don't have to be fully independent to be AI. | True AI as you define it sounds like sci-fi AI. Actually computer scientists use the term differently. |
411,163 | IMHO killer queen is much better than bohemian rhapsody as a driving song. | i know, but since i saw it in Wayne's world i play it every time i have other people in the car |
411,164 | If there was a bug in the saxophone it wouldn't have sounded leveled with his voice on playback. Probably wouldn't even be recognizable due to the reverb and vibration. And that movie went to great lengths to get audio right. I don't think there's any foreshadowing here, the point of the ending is that we don't get to know, just like him. | That's definitely a good point, but I can't help wonder why else there would be a saxophone at a surveillance convention, and why else it would so obviously cross right through the frame. |
411,165 | not strictly true, here in the UK ISPs like Sky have unlimited data, but many, like BT, Virgin, Talk Talk etc, DO have caps, some pretty severe (as low as 40Gb in some cases). This is for broadband of course, mobile ISPs charge a LOT for unlimited in most cases | It's not actually unlimited, they start throttling your connection pretty severely after a certain amount per day. I once hit that downloading all the updates after reinstalling Win7. Also, you can get 100Gb or faster broadband in many parts rural Sweden and that is still uncommon in the UK and unheard of ouside of urban areas. |
411,166 | I loved in Godzilla how they took the Golden Gate to go to Oakland :P | whats worse is the stadium in Godzilla (2014) looked nothing like the Oakland A's/Raiders O.co coliseum. It was weird watching a movie largely set less then 100 miles from where you live and you are like " Oh, that's bullshit. It doesn't look like that at all!" |
411,167 | Part of the expense was the limited destinations. Because of noise. As such, economies of scale never kicked in. That's the interpretation I always heard anyways. | A major component was the complexity of moving the nosecone down so the pilots could see the ground during takeoff and landing. We can do that virtually using camera systems now so it may be less of an issue. |
411,168 | What a phenomenal film. It's patient with the viewer, it never overloads us with anything and it requires some thought to really grasp what was unfolding. It's my favorite movie of the year, and a 10/10 for me. Amy Adams is a strong Oscar contender with her performance in this, and I personally think it's one of her best. Just a fantastic movie, damn. | Exactly! It gives you puzzle pieces much like the characters in the film and it makes you ask questions. As it prolongs and the characters put the. pieces together then so do you as the viewer and it all begins to make sense. It was slow paced but every scene had weight. Well directed and acted. |
411,169 | I think a better case is google maps being integrated into google search. It's much more prominent than the shopping results. In the map case, I feel like they are abusing their monopoly. If you search a location like a city name, you are given a link to google maps on the side. That's a separate product from web search being hooked into web search. It basically cuts off competition for other mapping services. They're arguing against google shipper though. | How the hell is that abusing their monopoly? If I search for an address, I want to see a map right there on the results page! I don't want a link to Bing maps or MapQuest or something, where I'd have to click through another link, use a different inconsistent UI, and so forth. You seem to be defining the search product as "10 blue links", which as Google says, is an antiquated way of thinking about things. |
411,170 | When I was in NZ I found the mobile network to be sub-par. Using the Telecom network I only had reception in the major cities. And it was not that fast anyways. On the other hand when traveling in Japan I got a sim which gave me 75mb/s and it blew NZ network out of the water! | TFW when Japanese Mobile Broadband is faster than your. in-home internet. |
411,171 | I noticed that all the American versions feel the need to announce that the book is "a novel"... I imagine it's a marketing thing? | Wow. I didn't realize that...thanks for pointing it out. I really don't know why that would be necessary. |
411,172 | He will have a new costume by the end of JL. | Wait what really!? Source? Not doubting ya im just excited |
411,173 | Well, my books are all set in the real world, not imaginary or alternate worlds, because I really want to trick the reader into assuming that the events of the story are really happening. And I think of them as supernatural adventures, but since they're set in the real world, I have to take into account things like physics -- so for instance I'd never have an invisible man who could see, since light would go right through him. If my novels are very different from other SF and fantasy novels, it might be because my main entertainment reading is crime-&-police-&-spy books, like Elmore Leonard and Michael Connelly. In the genres, my heroes are Fritz Leiber, Philip K. Dick, H. P. Lovecraft, Theodore Sturgeon ... etc! | Well that sounds interesting, I'll grab one of your books when I have more time. Thanks for your answer :) |
411,174 | Interesting thing: all the Culture novels are set in the past. Check the dates given in relatively obscure calendars. EDIT: it looks like I misremembered, roughly half of the Culture novels take place in the past, the rest in the future. | That's not true at all. Player of Games, Excession, half of the storyline of Use of Weapons and Matter, Surface detail and Look to Windward all take place in our future. _Edit:_ Hydrogen Sonata as well. |
411,175 | That is entirely *not* the point. He killed because he felt he had to, he didn't know what else to do. Remember, he had just recently become *Superman*. He was inexperienced. He will always feel the guilt of killing Zod and bringing the end of his own people. This will lead him to form his ideals and to strive to bring justice not summary punishment and to never kill again. This was what leads him to become the idealistic Superman that we know and love. You may be a little biased. | That's just the thing, though. They didn't show anything that depicts him feeling guilty after the fact. They had him destroy government property, nearly killing two more people in the process, and made a dumb joke about how the girl thought he was hot. Changing that one last scene to him helping to rebuild would've done wonders to sway my opinion, but they decided on the joke instead. |
411,176 | Yeah that seems to be my attitude on it. This article was written with a lot of vitriol, but this movie definitely doesnt look like the worst movie Adam Sandler's made in the past ten years. I watched That's My Boy when I was drunk with a friend and laughed my ass off. Not even going to try to see Jack and Jill or Grown Ups 2. Blended was super mediocre and I don't remember anything about Just Go With It. | Just Go With It is the perfect name for that film and Sandler's career lately. |
411,177 | Well, I already knew what the article will be like after my comments. Those concerns are real and AI/ML will change everything in the near future. I think it's important to educate people understand the issue. On the other hand, you don't know how many comments and messages in my inbox: some pure happiness there. Horny men are simple creatures. | I've been interested in machine learning for some time (not for this specific purpose but for image processing and generation). I have a background in python, php, c++ and Java. Are there any good resources to jump into ai/machine learning that you found especially helpful? |
411,178 | Harrison still gets the shaft on this playlist. 7/50 songs? C'mon. | If they include Wings and the Plastic Ono Band they could include Traveling Wilburys. |
411,179 | I'm going to be honest I read a few replies and one that leaned that way and kind of assumed the anti Trump circle jerk would be present but since I'm wrong bring on the downvotes. | Don't worry about it, I have expected it myself. I'm actually surprised this thread didn't turn out that way. Maybe this subreddit is not so bad for that, but there's also still time. It doesn't seem very populated at the moment. |
411,180 | See, I agree with you, but I've noticed a lot of people here seem to believe audio books are equivalent to reading. They are not. | How are they not? they are both the same story just digested in a different way, it is just splitting hairs to say an audioBOOK isn't a book. |
411,181 | Except when women have routinely been shallow characters in a majority of all media and entertainment far more frequently than men. Soo... | You're regurgitating nonsense from the 70's (and it was only partly true even then). There are countless complex female characters in television and film and there have been for decades now. Kill Bill, Fargo, fucking Alien, Silence of the Lambs, Misery just to name a few. |
411,182 | i felt like they came out of nowhere but they instantly knew everything about each other and were best friends. felt way too forced. also, a kid in the midst of a battle like that remained completely cool headed. bs. | I don't get why this is being downvoted. It's a genuine, considerate opinion and I kinda agree with you. |
411,183 | I absolutely love Nabokov. Lolita is one of my favorite novels, and I am constantly rotating between that and **Pale Fire** for my favorite Nabokov work! | Woohoo! How is Pale Fire? I've been thinking about grabbing Ada or Ardor for a bit. As much as I prefer physical books to listening I've realized I have a lot of time to listen to whatever I want during work so I should use that, especially since sometimes I have to drive an hour away. |
411,184 | So, when does that kick in? Because I'm 27, I've been surrounded by books my whole life, and I don't make jack shit. | Did you try being born to parents with money? |
411,185 | Hell I'm 40 and still rock some Evanescence on my phone. She's got such a powerful voice, I love her. ... mind you, I've also got Portal's Still Alive on my phone, too... | *This was a triumph*... Damn it, what have you done! |
411,186 | the line 'like tears, in rain' was improvised but not the monologue before it. nonetheless bladerunner is the best sci-fi of always. | Right, sorry I didn't mean to imply that the whole speech was improv. |
411,187 | If your graphics card uses 250W, and doesn't move or beep or blow, it's dissipating that power as heat energy. Where else would it go? | That is a good point, I was thinking of it in terms of a lightbulb in that what isn't put out as light is wasted as heat, but you're right, there isn't really any output other than heat with a processor I guess. |
411,188 | But don't ignore the somewhat campy Omega Man. | Or Last Man on Earth. I do love Vincent Price. |
411,189 | Yeah, as someone who only sorta kinda likes some rap, I thought this was only OK at best. | Mediocre rap for some reason is considered great when a white guy does it |
411,190 | That doesn't mean people are going to suddenly adopt it. I have to say... I think wearables are just going to be niche markets. Your average person doesn't need/want that | Wearables aren't going anywhere. Glass though... who knows. I usually go to the "We Are Wearables" meetup in Toronto. It's *crazy* what people are doing in that space. Hundreds of people come out. It's great. |
411,191 | crtl+f Matthew McConaughey. It was probably the one where he was leaning on something to keep his balance in the movie poster | I once learned that this is because he (apparently) has short arms. So by leaning like he always does, his arms appear normal-sized. (Don't ask me why someone can't just *edit* his arms to make them look longer, in the process of all the other 'shooping done to movie posters. Ah, well.) |
411,192 | Kate Winslet just seems to hate her performance in Titanic where the others hate the entire movie. | Yea. In the article they even quote her as saying she "wants to do it again." To improve her performance, she means, but that means no disrespect to the movie itself, just how she feels her particular contribution was. |
411,193 | Best seller just means it sold a lot. You shouldn't infer any judgment of quality on sales numbers. | I don't really mean to judge it's quality on its sales numbers I'm just saying what I think and that is that this series doesn't deserve a title like that one compared to other books that had the title New York times best seller series this one really doesn't deserve it. Again please don't get angry or offended this is just what I think |
411,194 | This book has had a hell of a marketing push behind it. I found it neither as compelling nor as well written as Gone Girl. | Very much agreed. It was alright but the comparison needs to stop. It is nothing like it. It is just another run of the mill murder mystery book IMO. |
411,195 | I'm adding you to my friends list in case you say things like this on the usual. | I just looked in your friends list and there wasn't a single friend. Was he the last of them, then? ...I'm sorry. I'm a dick. :c |
411,196 | It divided the audience into three groups. The first were ordinary people who were shocked by the film. The second were Gilliam fans who didn't get it. The third were Gilliam fans who did get it. | First Group: understandable. Second and Third groups: Really? you didn't find the whole movie to be 2 hours of over acting with a terrible script? As I was watching this film I was wondering when it was going to end. I finally turned it off after they started making out on his bed. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm a HUGE fan of Gilliam by the way. |
411,197 | If you're into this kind of music, you may want to add a visit to the Guča trumpet festival to your bucket list. It's basically several days non-stop orgy of Balkans/gipsy brass music. | Also NoBS Brass Band did a Tiny Desk Concert. They're awesome! |
411,198 | How in the hell could they even afford to bring all of those people to a remote location for a shoot and then cut their roles altogether? I understand we're talking about the super rich here but I can't imagine that movie has made enough money to be in the black. | Wikipedia says the budget was $52M and I really have trouble believing that unless all of these guys owed Terence Malick a favor and worked for next to nothing |
411,199 | Dude you just made my night. That's one of the best songs in the entire world, just listened to it again tonight. | Wait a minute...KeenanW. The same KeenanW I climbed Inspiration Peak with in August? |
