I don't see how you can come to that conclusion at all. What makes you say that? I see creative achievements in the news much more often than I do science stuff. As for your anti-science sentiment, I'm not going to comment on that. People b

The problem is that updates becomes a monster problem if you have lots of connected records, since the same information is duplicated in many places over your data store. Failed updates can easily lead to inconsistencies.

The quantum world is indeed discreet, and (as far as we know) half a planck length doesn't make any sense physically.

The smaller the pendulum the harder it is to balance, so I'm sure a human could be trained to do this if the setup is large enough.

I hated it. I felt like the author was just trying too hard. There's just not enough actual content in a book of 800 pages.

I think he means on arrival in the US, not before you get on the plane.

Yea you are correct, I forgot to include 'as a hobby'.

In the US you can fly AUVs like this one as long as you keep it in visual range at all times (and stay away from restricted airspace)

Off topic but I had a very interesting experience reading Dan Brown. I read 'The da Vinci Code' without knowing anything about it or Brown, and I really enjoyed reading it. Then I saw the movie and I immediately recognized the massive holes

I expect to see a lot of homebrew robots using Kinect for vision in the near future!

by Devilboy 16y ago
The Kinect works by projecting an infra-red grid on to the room so you can't use 2 of them in the same space (unless you modify the hardware somehow)

First you gotta work on the '/10' bit, the '0' will improve later.

I don't craft mines but it looks like the active 'wire' bits are not voxels like most other things in Minecraft, but instead are painted on 2d surfaces yea? Please elaborate!

What happened to the "spend < $1" earlier? What do you mean? He's saying that instead of spending about 60 trillion by 2030 we can instead spend only 9 trillion by 2100.

A 50/50 split can work fine as long as you have a roulette clause. With a roulette clause or similar it's always possible to easily part ways if the 2 parties reach a deadlock that cannot be resolved.

Yea so Lomborg is basically arguing that we don't need to be quite that aggressive and that it would be cheaper to stabilize slowly in 90 years rather than doing it for a high cost in 20. Sure it will cause more problems for people to do it

His solution is much cheaper than the proposals from others. For example this panel: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05... wanted 100$ for a tonne of CO2 emitted, that's way more that 100billion per year.
