Artificial intelligence systems can now create remarkably accurate reconstructions of what someone is looking at based on recordings of their brain activity. These reconstructed images are greatly improved when the AI learns which parts of the brain to pay attention to. read more

"Nobody believes Joe Biden can be president in four years."

Apparently it's a felony [...] #9 | Posted by visitor_
And the rest? In any event, too bad we didn't hear Trump's side of the story.
Wonder why he wouldn't testify? "A video of Donald Trump claiming that only the mob and people who are guilty take the 5th amendment has resurfaced on social media." www.newsweek.com "Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG's civil probe of his business practices" www.nbcnews.com
I must have misunderstood what Trump was saying in that video. Because of my "TDS."
The Dems should definitely listen to what the GOP strategist says!
"Trump Hopes Biden Stays in Race, Changes Tone
Donald Trump hailed Joe Biden as his most dangerous rival in a speech on Friday, in what some see as a bid to stave off having the president replaced with a more formidable opponent."

so a 700%+ markup? #16 | Posted by Tor
I think about a 5,000 percent markup for just labor and ignoring material costs. ($57 labor costs and selling for $2,780). 700% markup would be about $400 sales price. www.omnicalculator.com
But math is hard, so I refuse to stand by my numbers.
This movement picked up steam in June, with creators on TikTok telling followers in no uncertain terms "stop wearing sunscreen."
Lol! I love it! TikTok, the touchstone for all knowledge, whether it be political or scientific.
"TikTok's search engine repeatedly delivers misinformation to its majority-young user base, report says" www.cnn.com
I am not certain whether this disdainful mind-set says more about the people who have contempt for fashion or the people willing to waste tons of money on narcissistic items such as a $2700 bag. #11 | Posted by moder8
I think it says oodles about the people who spend almost $3K on an item that costs 5% of that to produce. Much like it said much about a culture that spent the cost of a home on a tulip bulb.
The fact that the owner of this company is a billionaire many times over, but the people manufacturing the product earned $2 an hour says quite a bit as well.
But hey, I'm always in favor of people with too much money on their hands spending it. Only wish that it went to those who needed it more, rather than, in this case, the third wealthiest man in the world.
With all due respect. GFY. You act as if the Democratic party is entitled to votes. Clue phone here. They are not. Want our vote. Give us a candidate that we can vote for. Until then. Sit and spin. #20 | Posted by LauraMohr
Here you go SpeakSoftly. Case in point.
There are probably few users on this site more in need of a liberal SCOTUS for protection than Laura. But cutting off nose to spite face seems to be preferable for the Greens than voting for Al Gore or Hillary. So at least I'll be able to schauden my freude when those SCOTUS rulings inevitably make their way into our society.
Meanwhile, in France: "French Candidates Drop Out En Masse to Stop Far-Right Takeover" www.thedailybeast.com
So the French thought rationally and strategically, taking necessary steps to protect their hard-won rights (like five weeks of paid vacation a year, universal healthcare, one year of paid parental leave per child). And we have the Greens thinking that they proved a point while the Repubs tear down the few benefits we have.
And just to be clear, I will be voting for Biden if that's the only choice I have that might beat Trump. My concern is that Joe has no chance of recovering from that debate, especially seeing as he was already behind before he figuratively relieved himself up on that stage.
