Having done some SCA heavy, those open inner thighs make me twitch (armpits too, but less could be done about that). One thing SCA has figured out that the sports industry seems to have failed to is how helms work. It turns out the best way

It's what I started with too. I've seen a lot of discussion about how CS Grad students are getting underpaid. I acquired $70k in student loans to afford to live in the city with my partner while working on my degree. Essentially t

I am actually going to get my PhD in the next few days. Perhaps I am an outlier, but I really think it was the right thing for me. I hit the end of my undergraduate degree and I felt like I had just started learning, so I looked into gradua

hmmm, I've been thinking about making a website to help recruit disenfranchised millennials into indentured servitude and I'll be free and in the area (I'm about to move to the bay area). Might be fun, but i'm not sure I

Looks like: magnetic field applies forces on a substance, such that that substance forms into a conductor that further propagates the effect.

Essentially to get published you have to give away all the publishing rights for the work you submitted. I'd prefer open access journals, but the people who decide if I get my phd don't value those like I do.

aha, finally a chance to post my only meaningful contribution to computer science: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=tru... draft here (because I can't give away the final version): https:&

This will be the question that defines the era. The singularity has come in the sense that technological progress has been accelerating and the rate of legal adaptation to it is constant. The rate of technological change outpaced legal chan

so the whole idea of the "singularity" has been overblown by fiction and media. The reason we call it a "singularity" is because it is part of the "acceleration" which is the observation that the rate of human

It is fun to play "who will get off at which stop" on marta Red line because of this effect. The income disparity in atlanta is insane and getting worse.

I'm looking at moving to the bay area in the next few months. I've settled on fremont but im looking at renting. Assuming rent linearly correlates with the costs here it does not seem that bad a cost or commute (relatively speakin

Yes. I hope people get the chance to re-invent slavery, racism, genocide and every other horrible thing over and over. I have strong ideas about all of those things, but they are part of what humanity is. Maybe humanity will change, maybe i

Not much. I'm not evangelistic about my ideals. Variety of thought, values and philosophy is a survival boon. We just need enough people to think this way, all of us would not be good. I don't want to save my ideology, i want to s

99.9% loss is infinitely better than the current expected loss rate. The most effective technique for lowering the total loss likelihood is to have as many independent populations large enough to self-propagate indefinitely as possible.

It depends on your moral system. If a cause it not apparent to you, than I doubt your moral system would value it. The most universally accepted argument is that one has an obligation to one's own ancestors to maximize their chances of

I'm in favor of this idea, but right now utilizing biology seems to be a path of lower resistance and higher likelihood of success.

Honestly, that is the problem in a nutshell. We have followed the optimization strategy of self-interest to it's optima. We will have to change strategies to break out. So how can we change what people value, without destroying that wh

I view the asteroids as a better colonization target than mars because you are right. I think we should be focus on building self-reproducing tin-cans that contain a minimal human-supporting ecosystem (and humans). The problem is not findin

As horrible as it sounds, from the perspective of species survival, poverty is not a big issue. The globalization of culture and ideology that such a movement would impose to eradicate poverty would itself be a bigger threat to survival tha

It boggles my mind, with the understanding and technology we have, that we have not leveraged our entire world economy to the single goal of establishing human colonies off world and sending generation ships to nearby stars. It is the singl

It makes about as much as uncountable infinite numbers. I can say everything in the universe is within a countably infinite distance of me. Thus, anything an uncountable infinite distance from me is outside the universe. Not a very tangible

My opinion is generally is founded on a radically different premise than most economic models. I think we should be optimizing the arrangement of our people and society for fault tolerance. In the long-view, cities are deathtraps (I say as

It also helps that we GoL comes with the capacity to instantiate the universe in any configuration we wish, rather than being forced to coerce it into that state from scratch.

Honestly, I think the take-away from this is not that we should not try to make our settlements self sufficient, but rather our cities are way too population dense to survive in the long term. Maybe the population density at which all food
