In 9th grade people got so mad at me for taking what felt like a whole minute before I did each move. But I was seeing every path they could make, and I was seeing what I could do next if they dropped their piece in each of the different columns, and I've never lost a game of Connect-4 ever since.

Re: Dyson Hoovers (I having 30years of experience with all sorts of Hoovers/vacume cleaners found the Dyson to be the WORST Hoover with regards to Human ergonics making you twist your spine using them they are both heavy & awkward to use (But they look nice & colourful!) the best are very small & able to wear on your back so your arms only have to use their force on the actual tube & hoover head.

[@chrisbraid2907]

Hoover was just another Brand of Vacuum Cleaner. Which Dyson model are you talking about ?

[@jamesmorris3123]

Dyson doesn't make Hoovers, Hoover is another company which copied Dyson technology, were sued for millions and had to destroy all the thousands of Hoovers the made. You need to get your brain corrected claiming they are heavy.

Actually britan impresses me. During university i realised that there is so so much scientific output from UK. Im from the pharmaceutical/biomedical sector and i was really suprised how much research in these fields is done and comes from the UK.

[@TheNinetySecond]

I watched it through, but it seems you made the smarter choice. This presenter is unbearable, and his "arrogant American is catastrophically ignorant about the world" shtick is horribly off putting. He's also wrong about most of what he says, and his insistence on British culture being a huge hurdle for tech innovation is absolutely ludicrous. This Harvard Business Review study found that while neither the US or the UK ranked high in data-, tech- and business skills, the UK at least broke top 10 in data skills, while the US didn't break top ten in either of the three. Unsurprising to say the least, but that's coming from one of those quasi medieval European peasants that have to learn about the rest of the world, and apparently can't follow Ashlee's über cool American tech extraordinaire style.

[@samharper242]

Also un subbed, never been so enraged with a shitty peice of journalism as that before haha

[@reagancapwell685]

It's not really crazy that less people are applying to study computer science. Nowadays it's quite easy to learn most of computing at home and online from MOOCs so unless you are interested in a regulated profession like Medicine most things can be learnt at home this days.

[@over00lordunknown12]

23:32 "So that's about 1,800 RPM" at first I thought he said 18,000 RPM and I was floored. XD

[@darkshadowsx5949]

No he said 1,800 RPS not RPM minute sounds very different from second. He said either 150,000 RPM. or 115,000 either way his math is wrong on the rps 1,800 x 60 = 108,000.

Oh, "inspirational?" Is it inspirational that AI would ultimately replace middle class Brits? Think of it, who would primarily benefit from this new gadgetry? The corporations who will undoubtedly replace their workers, to whose ranks you and I belong! Who do you think the corporations of this world would replace in favor of AI? Do you think their Board of Governors are first to be replaced or is it more likely that their custodial workers are first to lose their jobs? Don't be so eager to celebrate these newly found "discoveries!" Things that should make all of us say: Hmm!

[@alienc]

@@homayounshirazi9550 Yes it could go that way but it could also go the way that the improvements in automated industries means that we the consumer pay less than what we used to pay and overall a world where less human labour is required is a world that we live in. The masses will riot and revolt if the corporations get to greedy and it turns into david and goliath our society will naturally put them back in check or so I need to hope so otherwise yes our future reality is a very grim grim one indeed.
