   I am unfamiliar with this type of technology. After r3ading a few of the comments, would it be accurate to say that the mapping drones from Prometheus utilize a variation of this software?

   But FTL travel and time travel already exist. With the former, from an outside observer's reference frame, objects inside a black hole's event horizon appear to use to travel faster than the speed of light. Not that it's all

   >Plus, much of organic food theory is total pseudoscientific bunk. I agree that the idea of Frankenfood is hysteria. My fear of GMO's is due to my distrust of Monsanto, their near monopoly position in the global food supply, the leg

   So Germany bans WhatsApp from collecting data on its users(whether you agree with this or not, at least WhatsApp provides a service with some utility). Yet, not less than a week later, demands that WiFi operators collect data on its users

   You more or less answered your own question. For example, let's say that Enceladus or Europa does actually indeed possess a subsurface liquid water ocean and becomes a colony. Further, let's also assume that a lot of the raw mater

   I guess I was imagining more of an Interplanetary Transport System that was at least self-sustaining if not profitable. The lack of resources on the Moon could be solved by finding an appropriate near-earth asteroid to mine. The ideal 1st c

   You could construct massive artificial satellites that have permanent human habitation if we could shield ourselves from the radiation. It's fascinating that we could conceivably have people born, spending most of their life, and dying

    I disagree on this point. It makes sense when you examine it naively. However, dismal past performances of a CEO's former company is not an impediment to hiring. The hiring of a CEO isn't as technical or data-driven as one would t

    I was going to post something similar. Us humans sure do love our social hierarchies. Most people find it untenable that random chance and/or the independent actions of a multitude of phenomena make up a great deal of what we perceive

    Ugh! As a kid, I visited Atlanta during the summers of 1990 and 1991. My Yankee ass was not prepared for the laser light show at Stone Mountain. The encore was a celebration of the Confederacy, complete with a laser portrait of Gen. Lee in

    No, you can't stop using Facebook. On a lot of carrier provided phones, it cannot be uninstalled. And if you've signed in once, it will continue to run, auto update, and collect your information.

    If you're successfully managing nearly a trillion dollars, that's a bargain. There are CEO's who run billion dollar companies into the ground and receive more compensation than that!

    I wouldn't necessarily call them inbred. Whites crossbred with Neanderthals and Asians did the same with some other related Homo genus whose name escapes me. Doesn't surprise me that both went extinct. If we're still this

    Modern SSRI's are not more effective at treating depression or anxiety than drugs from the 1960's including MAOI's. In fact, MAOIS raise the level of 3 neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine) while SSRI&#x2

    As far as forums go, I find that HackerNews has one of the most civil and thought provoking discussions on the internet. This is most likely due to responsible moderation where differences of opinion are not only accepted, but respected. I

    Like you, I once was on a roller-coaster of cognition enhancing drugs. I did find that I was more productive, but only if I planned out what exactly I wanted to do beforehand and removed all distractions from my workspace. (Phone on airplan

    While I agree that exercise can become repetitive and boring, it is far from an intellectually sterile endeavor. You are literally hacking your own body. Also, since no two people have the same genetic code, determining a fitness regiment i

    Normally, I loathe one-star amazon and yelp reviews. They are almost always knee-jerk reactions to some function not working perfectly, or, more often, the consumer felt disrespected and didn't receive the proper service, even though t

    EDIT: I understand the comparison to books and other creative works. However, many writers don't outright copy someone else's work word for word, they appropriate the tone, style, setting, etc. The point I was trying to make is th
