Then most anything is not necessary. In theory, we could replace restaurants and kitchens with Soylent. I wouldn't want to do that, because food tastes good and I like having that option. On the list of things that are useful, Uber

I get the feeling that you have absolutely no idea how low depression can go. "Don't care at all about real food and can't eat" is decently common in the less painful stages.

I can cook! I've made Chicken Cordon Bleu! But cooking is never as easy as what you're saying. I get home, just thinking to figure out what to make is a pain and sometimes leads to not eating at all. I have to thaw the meat

That poster doesn't seem to be calling for anyone to lose their job or have their life ruined by using the term they don't like. Instead, the poster is saying that they just aren't listening anymore.

You make a good point with your last paragraph: given the circumstances, if we held a vote on who should get to vote, the answer would not be one millenials would relish. Those calling for disenfranchisement of the elderly are not only mor

If you believe in a deterministic world and no cartesian duality, there's no "spirit/soul outside the game" to do better or worse. Your willpower and moral goodness and empathy and adaptability are all the result of gen

Pidgin's facebook plugin doesn't seem to parse thumbs up or images, but works well enough other than that. Google hangouts/chat plugin works well, too.

I could have sworn I saw an earlier source where Hassabis said it would be SC2, not SC1. As an aside, the "best player in the world" referred to in the article is the SC2 player SoS. I think Zest is pretty commonly viewed as best

That's not even the all of it. Modafinil can have a 15+ hour half-life and he took a dose which was obviously too large. It feels like he had an expert compose a list of "things to do horribly wrong" before starting.
