   I imagine surprisingly many. I have operations that are not remotely on that scale. 8 employees with total data on the order of tens of terabytes. I found that to be a surprisingly heavy density of data per employee. A 1000 employee com

   Let's put your thoughts into perspective. There is no drug drought currently. Anyone that wants to get high can. Current market is not regulated. Anyone can become a seller with a little effort. Sellers are not regulated. We do not

   The distinction you are drawing is between Strong and Weak AI. Weak AI is any sort of useful application of computation. Strong AI is solving the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) problem.

    They succeeded better in convincing me that there are no habitable choices in the solar system than Titan being the obvious choice. Mars will probably be our next destination as the best-fit of several ill-fitting choices. We need a propu

    It's even worse than this. Every panel of experts called to testify on this contains doctors from the treatment/prevention sector and that subgroup of doctors holds even harder on to this bias than a regular practitioner.

    I spoke in generalities. You are absolutely correct. I have no claim to being an expert or even a layman. What I do know is that once a description of any thing exceeds a certain threshold, there are bound to be redundancies. Think of i

    Came across this when looking for a benchmark. Thought it would be informative for people now since MS-SQL is now being packaged for Linux distros.

    Ye gods. Github was intermittently inaccessible the other day and ruined about half an hour of my time. World-wide EMP leaving all HDDs in ruins. Well, at least it would keep us occupied for a decade rebuilding everything .....

    Don't think this is a uniquely American problem. Icelandic police just got handed a sentence for stripsearching a 16 year old girl.

    I'm just glad the cops didn't kill the dog. My first thought when reading about his dog was "Oh no!".

    Incidentally this very often comes about by writing code. Or installing new systems. There's a strange broken circularity to that blogpost.

    Touched this in your sibling. It's not straight forward to translate from Icelandic. The meaning anyone would convey from the original text is that honesty cuts both ways.

    No, I mean that going from a verb-based language to a noun-based language is tricky without either losing meaning or becoming "wordy".
