Sure, spinoffs are nice, but they happen with all types of public access research. Why not create a project of a unprecedented magnitude and complexity that also creates very important results directly ? It's like saying "spe

Well if someone keeps praising Germany and Austria exclusively, you know what to expect.

This is really incomplete and written in a way that's not constructive in any way. This is not why things are the way they are.

US utilities don't need saving. It seems like a bizzare statement to make. The reason behind the slow growth in electricity demand is the high price dictated by environmental politics. Also having such a high burst in demand will be a

You're absolutely right. I was thinking in terms of a previous attempt by some people, using a planar camera array with no motion involved. In that case it was impossible to reconstruct the lightfield satisfactorily. You only got a sma

You wouldn't want the unemployed masses of Europe and America to feel a connection with chinese workers, would you? Better to cover a story on how they're stealing our jobs and making billions.

actually not even that spinning camera array can capture a decent approximation of it (assuming it wants to cover the entire volume of the sphere to account for head movement). Lightfields are not going to look very good until we get DeepRe

There are a few political parties that call for a reform of the EU without breaking up. I'll try to vote for one of them. It's clear that the EU needs serious fixing, and German politicians/Brussels technocrats aren't u

Even though at the time they only ban neo-nazis, the UK can now criminally charge you for having opinions they dislike. That's not a step forward. Also surveilance and anti-privacy laws in the UK are horrible.

pistoriousp didn't really answer. Aluminum cans don't scale well to over 500ml (have you seen a 1.5lt bottle made of aluminum?), and even at 500ml they require pressurization to hold. Tetrapac is still plastic inside, but a lot mo

Do you seriously propose that stores should sell stainless steel bottles of water?

They don't control for age, so their study is worthless. Many of the countries mentioned as "the worst" have ageing populations and lots of emigrants.

>“It’s more urgent now than ever before to make plastic water bottles a thing of the past.” Great way to end good research with retarded political statements. What exactly will replace plastic bottles?

This is becoming a real problem really fast. Resumes are automatically trashed because of keywords, employers sharing histories and data of previous workers is just around the corner, credit decisions, insurance costs and access to certain

Me too, I've been waiting for something like this for a while. If I was somewhat younger or if AI wasn't booming, I would try learning Mandarin, but learning a third language is a pain in the ass, especially if you're past yo

I agree with your main idea. Online self-education was implicitly promising stable, well-paying jobs for the people without the means for formal studies. But instead of governments standardizing, expanding and accrediting these tools, they

Why is this marked as dupe? It's a horrible article but learning about CLOUD is very important.

Ok, so I guess I won't be using any cloud services of companies falling under US jurisdiction any time in the future.

When a defective elevator falls, is it the elevator's fault? AI is simply a machine. The creators and maintainers of the machine are responsible. I don't understand why someone would even argue about this.

Just because you say you're a psychopath doesn't mean you are one. You'd expect a neuroscientist to be aware of the limitations of your ability to self-diagnose. My personal opinion is that he loves the attention he gets. He

Exactly. Not to mention that Apple most certainly uses conventional and well-established biometrics, along with precise 3d mapping. The article is not even in the right direction.
