Why aren't other manufacturers following this model? I've seen 12-year Mercedes with internet connection, so the infrastructure has been there for a while.

China is replicating exactly, step by step, the soviet space program, and the next stop is their own MIR. There is a lot of technology to be learnt there about maintaining medium-term live in space and basic science research that could be d

Ah, the Nordic model... The country in the middle bans prostitution and offloads it to the neighboring countries. I have yet to see any macro advantage on it, besides a little reduction and a lot of smug people feeling better about themselv

In nordic countries is common to let babies sleep in the outside, in freezing temperatures. You would think is crazy, but not many seem to die from it. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21537988

That Slate Star Codex article is one of the most depressing things I've read for a while, thank you.

Anybody knows if it has something in common with the Ye Olde MSN Messenger? First time I saw it I couldn't help to notice the similarities. Even the emoticons were the same!

It needs drivers, they are just the same as the audio jack. At least in my computer (not apple), the same board that drives the audio jack is, at the same time, providing output for the optical plug without any special software. I've n

As self-driving highways, with cars that move at 250 km/h (155 mph), become common, regular driving will probably be restricted to secondary roads first, tertiary later. As time goes by, you will be seen as a nuisance from most of the

Yeah, if you want different and (more or less) independent between them personas you still need different accounts. What the parent is trying to emphasize is that the transition between them has become really easy and seamless, so if you re

Well, some people may be forced to move to a simple live, others may be forced to not live, others may continue as we go... Deciding who is going to take which path will probably be the topic of the next world war.

Yeah, but in the end, we are just replicating a 400 hundred years old process. The main difference this technological advances have produced is that the replication is reproducible and we can churn out Stradivarius like there is no tomorrow

You have to realize that when this happened, as the article says, Spain was just out of a dictatorship. Back then, freedom in the press was... Poor, at least. Specially, there was still a lot inertia going with "The press must follow t

Well, that's kind of what the Republicans have been doing when being asked about Trump, lately.

Go Spanish, they are usually cheaper as they aren't as famous as the Italian, but the quality is the same or even better, as they don't have the strange shenanigans the Italians have with the Mafia. An awful lot of the Italian oil

Don't be silly, it's a common practice in some industries for a company to pay some expensive course in exchange for X (usually 2) years of work (paid, very well). You can leave whenever you want, you just have to pay back the cou

The solution proposed by Heinlein has all the desirable characteristics: zero barriers to entry, not very burdensome (for the received benefits) and reliabilly produces good citizens. The problem is that I can't imagine a real method t

Yeah, it's obvious that Heinlein didn't really believe himself that the military route was the one to go. As the parent says, he leaves it at "man it'd be great if we really cared more for our nation", but... Alth

Hahaha!! That brings memories! I never had many problems with the Finnish silence treatment, as I've always been kind of introvert, but man, did I love seeing more extroverted people struggling with your typical frowned group of Finnis

I thing this issue is completely orthogonal to freedom. If anything, facebook has taken from you the freedom of looking at different political views. Recently I noticed that, even tough I have friends in facebook with opposing political opi

I'm going to hazard a guess. The french did found something useful to crack google down in that raid and gave their buddies in Spain a nudge so they can combine the efforts and maybe strike a big one against the Double Irish.

I'd say that, if the employer doesn't cover a need with a full-time employee working a healthy amount of time, he/she should hire another employee, full or partial time. Thus, unemployment is reduced, more money is put into t

Don't forget UI and UX, in general. The free software pipeline has traditionally been wacky in this front, and is something that matters a lot to users.
