You don't. Even better, this would be great as a scam, if you simply count on it being handed a couple of times from person to person before someone decides to check the code online. Who are you going to complain to if it turns out not to w

Think of it as an open ending, there is still much more to come.

The hard part will be when reality rubs up against things set in stone. The big trick will be to determine exactly when change is needed versus when some people just want to change things to make their mark.

So, someone still wants to argue against this being a bubble?

When you work with people you could at least respect their right to make their own mistakes and to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I should have verified that I guess, but it doesn't really matter either way. Brin is very visible as co-founder of Google and can expect his words to be quoted. And typically those quotes will come out in the worst possible way so when you

A memristor can be simulated by a couple of formulas and a few variables. (just like neural networks can be simulated). In spite of our ability to simulate this sort of process for decades we have not succeeded in building a strong AI, the

> Even so, I fully expect memristors to deliver strong AI. Why would they? Is strong AI a function of storage capacity or speed? An AI running at 1/100th of what a future AI may be capable of is still an AI and I can't see how a mere im

The interesting bit is that in 50 years or so people will likely go "Salman Who?".

I'm sure Salman Khan would agree with you. Now let's give it 50 years and we'll see how 'Global Free Education on any subject that matters' sounds.

I share much of your sentiment, possibly for different reasons. I keep hoping for that moment when the country that I thought was going to be the example of how to run a country will find its bearing again and stop the madness. The potentia

Well, then maybe he should have said something to that effect. The problem with speaking in public is that people will actually hear what you say. If you don't intend to come across as flippant don't be flippant.

Fair enough. The reasons why it rubbed me a bit are (1) I know you're an American living abroad, so at least you've seen both sides of the fence, and (2) I used to think much like the OP and today I won't even go to the USA for business any

As long as you are in the process you are there legally. Weird but that's how it works. Only after your deportation order has been issued and you do not contest it for an X number of days does it become final and then you have to leave. If

That goes for lots of countries. They want you to apply from the outside. In Canada for instance that can get really funny, where applying from within Canada for a European is only possible by applying in the United States (Buffalo, for ins

A non-criminal removal is simply removing someone from the country that has no criminal record and is an 'alien'. As soon as you commit a crime (and are convicted) you are subject to a criminal removal. The main issue seems to be that crimi

A Groupon IPO is one of the worst things that could happen to the industry, at any price. It's reminiscent of the .com crash and it gives me serious doubts about the rationality of the current tech market. Let's sell stuff at a discount so
