I have an outstanding hypothesis that suggests that even if the opoid epidemic went totally away tomorrow, this is not the steepest increase, and the increase will continue for the next 20 years. The suicide rate should bump itself up subst

This clearly has outliers from fantastically ancient civilizations. Give it a qqnorm and you would see. The median age is much more interesting than the mean, and more relevant for today.

I wonder about auto-correlation and repeated sequences of runs. If it isn't totally random, then it is partly not random. What is the nature of the non-randomness?

The f*ed up part is the impact on the fetus. The dosage level before harm or death for kids is 10x smaller than for adults. For babies in the womb it is way smaller than that. These folks may have covered up something that resulted in the

Using a wavelength transformation to send this through the non-absorption windows means more energy hits the ground and you aren't hacking terrestrial albedo in a bad way. That global warming is about absorption of sunlight, so puttin

I was pushing this a decade ago. If you have "fusion in a bottle" and don't want to share, this is a decent way to make it harder to steal/damage/use-for-terrorism. Also, giant beam transmission facilities and giant

this is good that they are there. It means that the radioactive material can be sequestered. It means that the radioactive material can be inventoried, and escapee content determined.

There is a lagged autoregressive technique used in forensic analysis that allows 3d reconstruction using 1d (mic) sound. A CNN should be able to back that out too, and do other things like regenerate a 3d space. In the right, high-fidelity

Google built things that circumvent it. I love how commercials "follow you around". If I search for diamond rings in a browser on one computer, they suddenly materialize everywhere. I tried it with Duck-Duck-go, searching for som

You know, there are illegal cell phones in prisons. If the prison folks have the ability to determine whose voice is speaking, then they can related an outgoing cell signal at the prison to a particular incarcerated person. It would be lik

And now they are superhuman with regards to "Fog of war"! A truly crushing next step would be to make "World in Flames" into a computer game, and have Alpha-Star-Zero, which is coming, to become the best it can on that.

Duh! It is 1/3 the cost (bullshit aside) for someone from a culture of hunger, hard work, desperation, and oppression. That makes them easy to work very hard, unlikely for them to push back, and so they have superior output for 1

Why hell do we need something that is 10x stronger than fentanyl or 1000x stronger than herion??? Is there nothing in the world that will make the FDA stop killing people? Opoids kill more than all auto accidents combined including drunk d

I feel that they steal the universe from me by making new prescriptions that presume normal distribution in use-case, and because the new prescription mandates new glasses. I have heard that recycling of glasses is illegal. Isn't that

This sounds like an amazing thing! Anyone serious does their work reproducibly. This shouldn't add more than a little bit about storage on devices and paper, in terms of costs.

They are lying. The only winning strategy is if the FBI does investigate, and if there is an actual penalty. Nothing less will impact the long term behavior of AT&T or any other cell company. Seriously, it is game theory. They are say

Also worth saying... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMjPqr1s-cg Are we now, this moment, coming to 5:15-5:34? I suspect, and hope, that the eulogist was pointing this toward ARPA and SRI and not me.

Given the prevalence of "grass" in national forests, I suspect it is the kind that has only been legalized at a state level. If the folks growing the "grass" find out they can be detected, especially before their "

I don't know that the distrust in similarity between images of noise is unwarranted. They are pseudo-random, not purely random. Each is not independent, but is a pile of sequential draws in a row, perhaps 16384. There are thought to

Humans are in the way. There is an intermediate "rich" communication light-set that speaks more than intentions, and more directions than backward. If you go "no driver" then your market dies. It is going to be an ironi

Also, cities do it. They have real-time feeds from traffic cams. Phoenix comes to mind. Every big-block, every direction at the intersection, relatively high resolution realtime video feed.

In the US, if you can pay, you pay more for the same or poorer care. You don't get the best anymore. It is shown elsewhere, not in this article. Obamacare killed the US as a medical mega-power. Economics 101: if you force the same p
