The term "artificial intelligence" was formally coined in 1955 by American computer scientist John McCarthy. He used it for a 1956 academic conference at Dartmouth College. The phrase combines two Latin roots: artificialis (made by human skill) and intelligentia (understanding or comprehension).

Ultimately the need for hemp was diminished by the introduction of steam power and later oil and nuclear to propel ships. It is interesting that the commercial cultivation of hemp is being revived as a renewable source of fibre for products ranging from clothing to bulding materials, foodstuffs and many other things. With proper processing hemp can be like the farmer's pig from which every part is used except the grunt. There are several species of hemp, some of which produce theTHC that is the narcotic. I haven't found out which species is the non-THC producer that is grown for fibre etc. The plan to develop hemp production in thenew colony wasn't mentioned, and continues not to be mentioned in history classes is due to the maintenance of the "crowded hulks" myth. No Nev. The use of rum as a currency ended in 1808 when Macquarie became Govenor. I imagine that the need for the colony to produce food for its people took a higher priority for some time. It looks like it ws not until nearly forty years later that the colony was established enough to look at hemp as a suitable product to grow. Britain still ruled the waves up until WWI, and don't forget that Britain's mercantile marine has always had heaps more ships than the Navy and in the 19th Century, even up to the early 20th Century sail ruled.

My daughter who is a CPA sort of explaine stocks to me. She said that a person buys a share with the expectation that the company will make a profit of some amount and each share entitles the holder to a portion of that profit - the dividend. The share itself represents an amount of money. The amount of money each share is worth depends on how much someone who wants to buy it is willing to pay for it. The size of the dividend depends on the amount of profit the company makes from providing its product or service. no product is sold, or a service is not taken up, then there is no profit. I recall an old business saying, "No one makes any money until something is sold". It seems to me that some of Musk's businesses don't sell much.

Here's a bit about Musk's wealth. What I found more interesting is the comment relation to stock and the stock market.

A: abbreviation of artificial intelligence. Earlier in 20c. it stood for artificial insemination (pregnancy without pleasure).

Just to clear up the terminology. "Tariff": A tariff is a tax applied by a government to goods brought in from other countries. Key purposes include raising government money, protecting local businesses from foreign competition, and acting as a tool in political trade talks. Other names for the same thing are "import tax" and "custom duty". Most countries employed tariffs, but it seems that in recent years global free trade arrangements and globalisation of manufacturing have reduced their importance to individual countries, unless as a political weapon as we have seen with the USA. "Export duty": An export duty is a tax charged by a government on goods leaving a country.

A little update on this topic from some further research. I said that one reason for the colony was to provide a base from which to establish on Norfolk Island for access to those tall pines for masts and the flax for sail canvas. Wood and fabric were not the constraints on both the naval and mercantile fleets of Britain. It was the amount of rope needed to operate the sails. A Man-o-War could require 80 tons (yes old measure) of rope in its rigging. Britain was getting most of this from Russia, but in the early 1780s, Catherine the Great of Russia began limiting trade in hemp with Britain. At this time Russia was starting to expand its territory and Britain was an obvious competitor. When plans were being made to establish a presence in Australia, the growing of hemp for rope-making was high on the agenda. Sir Joseph Banks supported this plan and supplied hemp seed as part of the agricultural supplies sent with the Fleet. Hemp was most likely planted by settlers William and Archibald Bell in 1823. The hemp cultivation was part of Australia's early colonial economy, as Cannabis sativa seeds first arrived in Australia in 1788 on the First Fleet at the request of Sir Joseph Banks, with the British envisioning Australia as a commercial hemp-producing colony.

I heard of a trick that a university lecturer played to test if his students were regurgitating AI stuff. The basis of the trick was beautiful in its simplicity. When we produce a document with a word processor, we normally accept that the colour of the text will be black on a white background, as you see here. However, if the text colour is selected as white, then the text is not visible, despite the text being present on the page. There is a word within these brackets ( word ). You could see it if the font colour was not white. Wht the lecturer did was to include a word it his document bu hid it by changing the font colour. An AI helper does not take into account font colour, so the word was included in his students' responses if they simply copied and pasted what AI had produced.

Strewth! Chinglish has ben replaced by AI garble.

Should that apply to the Party or the candidate? Politcal Parties do not have many members compared to the whole population, so membership fees cannot fund the advertising needed to conduct a campaign. Sad truth, but a truth nonetheless. Should there be a cap on the amount a donor can give? Probably the best solution. Does promotion via the various media types count as a donation? Getting into freedom of speech there. Because the bookies pay tax as well. You won't kill off gambling.

I think that you have identified the problem. The electors have been shown so many examples of corruption in its many forms that they see all politicians are corrupt. Not being corrupt themselves, the electors have no faith in whatever politicians say.

I knew there would be an "out". Section 8(1) of the RDA 8 Exceptions (1) This Part does not apply to, or in relation to the application of, special measures to which paragraph 4 of Article 1 of the Convention applies except measures in relation to which subsection 10(1) applies by virtue of subsection 10(3). Can anyone translate that gobble-de-gook?

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Capitol Records in the United States, and on 16 March 1973 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom. That's 53 years ago.

I was trying to make the point that there are children in Australia from many different cultures. Why can't they join together to selebrate childhood nationally. Actually such a day is descriminatory since it excludes any child who is not Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

Haven't we gown up enough to have learned that promises made by politicians are hot air at best? Perhaps the running of teh country should be tuned over to the Public Service and politicians can continue to have their debating societies in the houses of parliament. Even used car salespersons are trusted more than politicians.

Bugger! Now "Yankee Go Home" is not PC.

Didn't someone once promise that Australia would not have a Goods and Servies Tax?

By the way, tomorrow, 4th of August is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. Anyone know the date of Non-National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day? Have I jst posted something racist?

And no other indigenous population wherever on the planet has no cultural reference to the Moon? Australia is creating a culture of lunar tics.

Changing the conditions for negative gearing in a small economy like Australia's would not endanger the global economic system in the way unprovoked attacks on the economy of another country have done.

Memes like that one make one realise that one is getting old.

I was speaking to my local Member the other day. (I vote for another Party.) We spoke of Pauline and ON. He said that ON had no practical policies, which is something that many people are coming to consider to be correct. He said that he doubted if ON's results in the next election would mirror the current polling figures. The unfortunte thing is that I don't beleive his Party nor mine have a decent set of policies that would benefit all Australians. It seems to me that we have become terribly divided in our wants. Perhaps it's because we have been infected with the 'me first, last and every otehr time' virus.

Basically I'm saying STOP IT!

The written word in situations like forums can be misinterpreted becasue it lacks the nuances of voice. I caould type that Joe Blowe is a silly bugger. Can you tell from those words if I was being humourous or accusory? I think that we previously decided that it one wanted to make a statement then it should be accomanied by a reference to the source behind it. If that is done then I think it lessens the chance of persoanl attacks.

There's a bit of aggro going on between a couple of members. Hardly the sort of thing that makes for a pleasant place to come and interact with others. The aggro does not carry any of the discussion to a suitable resolve. In fact, it diminishes respect for those creating th aggro, and respecting others should be a foundational rule for we members. Let's make it the custom here to play the ball, not the man.
