All I know is that I want some of that Tech density to spread out to Texas. Texas right now is probably one of (if not THE) top states to start/grow a business in. If you're in SF and you're young (and/or willing) come o

Wrong. Any sane capitalist would produce the cheap bread if it sells just as well and pocket the profits.

God damn it, Elon! It looks amazing but the logistics are just not adding up! 2-minute departure time scales? Good luck getting the future Hyperloop TSA to do that. But, the numbers don't quite crunch for this to be a legitimate busine

What if it's not a machine replacing the man but another man who will do the same work for less?

I completely agree with you. However, let's not forget the inevitability of game theory: people will always take advantage of the system for their good. France made their rules and it really did not solve the problems they were trying

Price of automation > Price of Chinese/Indian Labor Wages ... I think the reason we don't have things automated is because of how little companies like Walmart can get away with paying its employees. A lot of people will look

I don't think I could facepalm any harder. What you are basically stipulating is that because pursuing certain leads could be almost always wrong that this would prevent a government department from following up on them? Are you kiddin

Actually I addressed both the Financial and Mathematical points of your initial comment quite avidly/thoroughly.

While, I agree this COULD all be a sham story for someone who may be a bit of an attention seeker ... I would like to counter your arguments anyways to show that this story is actually perfectly believable. In the article, the 'Task Fo

Hrmmm ... you seem to still be tremendously missing the overarching purpose of this speech. Obviously to delve proficiently into every aspect of programming through the ages and why things are the way they are now (e.g. what 'won'

Yeah, it's a cool technique. But it still has no room to scale as far as I can tell. At least not for transmitting inside licensed frequencies ... maybe they should try it out on 2.4 GHz or 3.5 GHz??

The legal statement about the FCC clause is there to try to cover their asses on the research that went into this and to try to market the possibility of a wide adoption of these types of devices. I'm guessing they did not bother testi

Sorry, but that is wrong. Figure 3 explains everything. EDIT: I should say that yes the technique is using analog conditioning circuitry to get the job done without storing power in a battery.

I would say that the regulatory question is the only question left. It's obvious that this works; but how well will it 'cooperate' in an environment? >Reading the paper, what do you think is 'massive overhype'? T

Whoa -- not to be a buzzkill but there is some massive overhype on this. Not to even begin to mention what happens when the FCC gets involved. Spectrum is bought and owned, you know. And zero unnatural interference is tolerated. Sure, you c

This could not be used for 'smart houses' .. willscott had it right when he mentioned RFID stuff. You cannot have 'ultra-low power' and have a transmitter powerful enough on a WLAN.

So it's not really some new uber-complex 'recycled communications network' as much as it is purely "Radio Solar Powered" ...

Well let's not be too quick to diminish the power of Choices. However, I do see what you are saying about: "This process happens. We make mistakes. That's how we learn what consequences exist to the choices we make. Yes, we m

Or the "laws of game theory" per say. :P But yes, with ALL the values that we hold in America: capitalism, a sense of morality, etc. It is inevitably that we will only grow towards becoming more merged with the world around us. Si

It's worse. We are in an USSR running on capitalism. Which means a much wealthier and more efficient USSR.
