Do you also get a BRRRP or MRRRP when he's snoozing and you put a hand on him? Our cat does that. And a similar noise to say "hello" when coming into a room or approaching you.

I find it a very interesting question to ponder. It may not play well with the crowd here, but ask what sort of society allows an individual to accumulate tens of billions of dollars while others have none? Now, I'm not (yet) advocatin

Can someone explain for me why the ship was sailing from Panama? My best guess is that it was easiest to sail down the west coast, cross the land at Panama where it is relatively narrow, then take another ship north up the east coast. I was

I would hope that there would be a better source than a 75 year old "summary of news book". If this is true there would surely be more recent and thorough scientific studies.

I agree with you overall, but would question two parts of your post. > we can assume that each intervention prevents at least a “ding”. I don't think we can be sure that the vehicle wouldn't have corrected itself in time, nor h

I agree with your underlying premise - without stimuli such as pain and pleasure to give motivation it is difficult to foresee an AI which will think enough like humans to be useful or that we feel we can trust. But perhaps that is just ch

Or is it because these companies (not just Google) have now saturated their markets and to sustain revenue growth the only solution they see is to squeeze harder regardless of the ethics? (upon thinking about it, the above is not incompatib

Those are very stylish, but for clarity I think I prefer this: https://www.prlog.org/11835905-audi-a3-climate-control-syste... which is a lot like my 2012 S4.

I somewhat disagree. My brain does not see a climate control button and think "that button which can control fan speed and cabin temperature probably also controls the weakly-related function of window demisting". I would have no

I would hope that anyone rational would accept that based upon the evidence to date and our current knowledge of astronomy and physics, extra-terrestrial visitation is possible, but very unlikely. Thus it becomes a case of "extraordina
