why are people so stupid?

The more concrete situations the survey described, the more likely people were to reject deals. For instance, 43 percent of respondents said they would accept a discount if the supermarket where they shopped kept detailed records of their purchases. But only 19 percent said they would accept discounts if the supermarket could use their purchasing history to make assumptions about their race or ethnicity.

I'm using /prog/ to discuss articles I find on reddit. Don't judge me. I wouldn't think to discuss something there.

If only you knew how bad things really are:

Why don't you just go to Reddit if you like their threads so much?

woah woah dude, is it forbidden to have different websites opened on many tabs?

besides I don't like reddit that much, its for normalfags

No, it's just retarded to constantly bring Reddit shit elsewhere. There is already a place to discuss it.

>>3
I don't read their threads. The posts aren't worth the time to read. But 10% of the news links are sometimes worth reading.

Hey fucker, I'm reading articles. When I read articles, I'm going to post excerpts that I find funny or tell a larger picture about something. So get used to it. I have no intention in stopping.

Perlmind Programming Journal (PMPJ) -- details for 2015 June 04

Next we need to stub in the EnParser (English Parser) module,
not so much for its own sake, but rather as a bridge to calling
the InStantiate module. We have EnParser merely announce that
it has been called by the NewConcept module, so that we may see
that the AI still runs with no apparent problems. We declare the

http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/var#bias $bias and

http://mind.sourceforge.net/variable.html#pov $pov

variables associated with EnParser so as to make sure that
they are not reserved words in Perl. We clean up some lines
of code previously commented out but left intact for at least
one archival release iteration. We caution here that the

http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/EnParser

EnParser module is extremely primitive and relies upon
very strict input formats such as subject-verb-object (SVO),
so that EnParser can expect a subject-noun, then a verb,
and then an object-noun or a predicate nominative.
We are more interested in the demonstration of thinking
than in the demonstration of parsing. Perl AI coders
may be able to adapt pre-existing

parsing code for use with the AI

I was talking about >>2-kusoyarou

OP this isn't programming

it's clever to post a reddit link to deflect criticism though

whoah somebody get this hothead outta here

Pussy dubs.

This thread is biologically centered and belongs on /lounge/.

You say that now but you wont be able to touch a computer without a government issued license thanks to idiots in >>1 forming the voting majority of your ``democracy''.
