Rember the accronym M.A.D. (Mutally assured destruction). MAD is the only strategy that works for nuclear weapons, even to this day! The idea behind it is that when one country shoots a nuclear weapon, the only thing the attacked country can do is respond, by detonating a bomb on their enemy. And what does that country do, detonate another bomb. This goes back and forth until both countries are destroyed or out of bombs. The simple idea that the United States and the Soviet Union would have suffered so much damage at that time, brought them to descalate the crisis.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

It could carry more weight

Explanation:

The horse made a much better work animal than the dog because it could carry more weight than a dog. just by the fact it's so much bigger, so much stronger. It's strength was definitely the major reason why it was preferred to the dog, but the horse also adapts easily to its environment. Even if a horse eats more than a dog, because of its size, the benefits of using it for work are much bigger.

It's also much more calm and docile than most dogs, although some dog races are quite good at training and being used as assistance animal for the handicapped or blind people.

alex41 [277]

This quote illustrates difference between the thinking of the humans that are significant or not.

Explanation:

The quote does, in a way use an argument that goes away from what it wants to talk about but does it so that an important point is understood.

We are worried if the machines can think or not but we are not worried that most people do not use their own thinking capability to the potential either and it is something that has been an issue in the society.

The focus on machine learning before human learning does say a lot about our own priorities as a society.
