Considering that people like Musk want to finance it commercially (yes, really), this point may be moot; however... The technology involved in going to mars will significantly advance (and cheapen) several areas that would otherwise be igno

My friend's mom used irc in the 90's / early 2000's for dating chatrooms. IRC can be plugged into the browser and embedded into applications seamlessly. In contrast, I've never even heard of all the things mentioned

I know an engineer who is amazing at building beautiful products. Would probably be his dream job. He doesn't; likely because being a designer isn't highly appreciated (with the monies).

Then maybe the GOP should start listening to issues that tech cares about? They seem to oppose pretty much everything that tech people care about except maybe lowering taxes (but does that ever happen anyway?).

My favorite part: "plaintiffs conclude that there is a greater than 9.9999999999% chance that the NSA has intercepted at least on of their over 1 trillion communications on the basis of an arbitrary assumption, namely that there is a 0

I'm not entirely sure that info (% of traffic) is possible for wikipedia to obtain accurately. There are however 3.3 billion people in the world estimated to have internet. Assuming that 90% of internet traffic is autonomous, each pers

Pretty much this. Anything I want to do, nobody is qualified to go do it on Monday. But they can start figuring out how to do it.

I could write a better reply, but I'm tired. Sorry if I articulate this poorly. One funny problem with a society based overly on data is that we start deciding things simply by how we analyze the data. Trends become self reinforcing to

Ask him to come in 10 minutes earlier than he is needed? If lateness doesn't actually change the job output, then is it actually a problem?

The real question is what to do about it. As a species what will happen to us when we completely obsolete ourselves?
