When do the DSPs start to vertically integrate - setting up their own dark mega kitchens, with generic styles like 'Pizza', 'Thai', 'Chinese', 'Indian'? These could appear as different restaurants, bu

I think the Apple of old that was willing to make bold decisions, even at the expense of part of its own product range, is gone. Soon Apple will start selling printers again! Its exactly as Steve Jobs predicted: https://www.youtu

USB-C/Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard support, including on extra screens when plugged in, would have been a killer feature. I guess Apple thought it would cannibalise Mac sales too much?

AI in an RTS, like Deepmind in Starcraft, can simply issue more commands and react faster than a human - since game information can be gleaned directly from the frame buffer, and instructions issued without going through the analogue of a m

Not all cultures and peoples are equal. The inherent and social capability to conduct cutting-edge science is not widespread. Historically it seems that only Europeans, Asians, and for a time Middle Easterners have been able to make signifi

The rise of EVs also presents the opportunity for generally lighter, smaller, cheaper vehicles. Already they are very popular in China: https://insideevs.com/news/340006/big-in-china-cheap-tiny-el... What would a

Pricing like this is not designed so that people actually pay for it. Instead it creates 'value' which is given away with some other product. For example: Free 5G for all business customers, all customers on an $80 plan or above,

I realise this is satire, but the quality of life of Africans living in the USA now is substantially higher than their ancestral cousins who remained in Africa.

Contrasting against Pigs and Cows: 1. Small animal which requires less bone structure to support (bone scales non-linearly with mass for land animals). 2. Shorter lifespan and use of eggs allows simpler and quicker sexual selection. 3. Less

Chinese is tonal and cannot be typed into a computer without going through the Pinyin intermediary stage. It is fundamentally ill-suited to being a modern global language.

The cultural, scientific, and commercial works that have been created in English in the past 100 years dwarf anything created in French or Latin by a gigantic order of magnitude. Why would we possibly switch to anything else, and lose &#x27

The point is that English is the de-facto single working language of the EU, and the de-facto business and scientific language of Europe, and so it might as well be made official. If countries offered Government services including education

For adults it is easy to move across the EU: you can work and socialise using in English. But for children, and families, it is impossible. How can a child move and be expected to learn a new language immediately? This seems like a huge dis

I think the problem can be summarised: There are too many people. We cannot seem to feed, medicate, or house ourselves sustainably. Maybe its time to look at a 'cost-benefit analysis' of humanity? If we wish to continue developing

At what point do these 'influencers' become entirely computer generated, applicable to any business or situation in the world? Nvidia already has the tech.

At what point do you say: this child just isn't meant to be? Why would you subject someone to a life of annual spinal injections, and society to the huge financial cost?

1c/gram of added sugar as a tax would be much more effective. The problem is that unnatural sweeteners produce a similar insulin response as sugar, and also disrupt gut biota. We need to restrict sweeteners overall. As an addendum, if

Some people take solace in the idea of childlessness. I think that raising as many happy, healthy, intelligent and productive children as possible, with a suitable partner, is our very raison d'etre. Specifically for the high-IQ HN aud

According to the SPLC, which is hardly an independent or reliable organisation. These organisations like the SPLC don't fund scientific research to oppose or rebut the work done by others, they just censor the work and classify it as w
