Flash memory has considerably better read/write speeds. It can also be read electronically instead of chemically. I don't think it makes sense to compare them.

Rape is a regular thing for ducks to the point where males and females have evolved weird reproductive organs in some sort of evolutionary arms race. Bed bugs practice what is known as 'traumatic insemination', where the male lite

What would this protection look like, in your ideal world? How would it work?

Do you really want prison guards to get used to firing (to kill) on inmates? Besides, I imagine/hope that most of them wouldn't want to. Let's take inspiration from George R.R. Martin and have the judge who imposed the death

If you want to do the 'scientific arguments' thing, then surely it is up to the EMH proponents to convince the rest of us, while the rest of us stick to the null hypothesis.

As far as I'm aware male fertility decreases a bit with age, but there's no such thing as menopause and ovulation for men. So I doubt there is as much of a market for a male version. Besides, our male egos are way too fragile to r

Doesn't feel manipulative to me, just annoying. I wish there was a big 'open all boxes and skip animations' button that I could click every few months. Right now my boxes tend to accumulate because I just can't be bother

You have 30 days to comply, so if you regenerate those cached pages regularly (e.g. once every 3 weeks) you're fine.

What does "fairness in statistics" even mean? Perhaps there is a very obvious definition that I don't know about? Would you please define it for me, and (if this is non-obvious) explain how it relates to the school choice pro

by Thiez 8y ago
Fairness is absolutely a subjective concept. E.g. in the context of school choice, which is fair? Let's say there are 20 students applying to a school, and there are 10 spots available. a) All students applying to the school have the s

We keep getting back to the actuators. If the birds would "design" a human being with the intention to keep it in a cage, why would they provide functional arms and legs? Don't imagine a fit human being. Imagine Stephen Hawki

The terminator is incredibly strong and could easily break out of a wooden cage. Like I said, don't give it powerful actuators. A more reasonable approximation would be a terminator head locked in a big metal cage. It might be incredib

You could just not include any network capability, put them in a Faraday cage, and don't provide them with actuators capable of breaking out. Tada, a safe sandbox. That said, there is no reason to believe an AGI would have a desire to

Apples and oranges. I'd wager that most people would agree that there is something fundamentally broken with a calf that rips apart other calves.

You can still see to which servers the software connects, ostensibly the only servers would be those for sending and receiving your emails. If you're feeling particularly paranoid you could enforce this behaviour using a firewall. For

But there's no reason to believe that will be possible either. By that same reasoning it might be possible 'in 5 years' to recover the erased (and overwritten) data from the storage device, so you never can delete anything. I

In the case of Facebook, people people upload photos with gps data, attend events that have an address... No judge would accept the 'but they said they weren't a EU resident' argument.

Is it disgusting and shady not to buy and use something when it is more expensive than you are prepared to pay? What obligation does Google have to drive visitors to newspapers' websites and pay the newspapers for doing so?

The GDPR seems to have many companies changing their policies and behaviour, and it's not even active yet. So there's that. I'm sure they'll be plenty more data to be gathered on the consequences of those rules the next

Can you explain why? I assume those c# programs are used for backend stuff on servers, surely it isn't hard to get a 4.6+ runtime installed?
