Not just drones, but -swarms- of drones. I make that point because its important to differentiate between what could be massive, battleship (or, likely, crusier) sized drones, and collections of very small drones. There's reasons this makes

Arguably, we're beating the shit out of the middle east for the same reason we beat the shit out of Japan (and Germany, just for good measure): Because they hit us. If you let people hit you, people will know that you let people hit you. Th

I'm often drawn to greyed things, as they're different...not sure how prevalent that reaction is, but its at least a counterweight to overlook.

The article is talking about a 'sheet', in the colloquial sense of the word, of the thickness of a piece of cling wrap.

I'm going to hazard that a lot is based on inherent properties. probably 'most' of the ease. They were mucking around with silicon computers with basically hobby chemistry sets back in the fifties and sixties, where today, with some of the

I believe the world portrayed used metric, though. They at least talk about nano-meters and etc in their blurbs.

my source said a .06 7 day rate, soo...I dunno. if its just .06% per year...that's horrendous. Banks suck.

So I'm a business selling stocks. I can sell them to a market which will buy them purely on the speculation that they will rise, costing me nothing over time, or I can sell them with a promise to pay the people who buy them money for the re

Please explain the intent of that graphic? Or, rather, what does where the electicity is have to do with voting power, aside from the congruence with cities?

Ah. My power bill is somewhere around 1.5 cents per kwh..

We don't even need to make the comparison so bold. the world could consume twice(I do not have statistics) as many hours of youtube as it does netflix, but still netflix would demand higher bandwidth... Netflix HD is 2gb/hour...what is the

Why on earth would you want to base votes on who has the most computing power?

starting a new bitcoin is the best way to deflate bitcoins that I've encountered so far. What do you suspect the max price would be?

how'd you arive at $100 in electrical costs? that's rather higher than I calculated, and actually more than my home's entire monthly bill, with four computers being run sporadically, plus the central air nearly constantly, the washer, drier

Paypal's money market yeild is currently .06% per week. At that rate, with $1000, you make .6 dollars a week, and buy maybe a bitcoin each month and a half...the discussion here is about earning a bitcoin a day mining, so I'm assuming you'

That's making the assumption that the exchange rate goes down. If, (big if) the currency finds demand..the exchange rate goes up. I saw it pointed out somewhere that bitcoins are meant to be rare, and that once the final bitcoin is generate

As an aside, I'm slightly more concerned with the generation of Only Children as opposed to the generation of 114 men to 100 girls...just to toss another layer of complexity into the mix.

The Chineese exchange students, that is, the ones who are not nationalized in America, the off the boat people, at my school think rather differently. They consider the government of China, for the most part, simply the nature of china. It

A lot of that stability approach can be traced back through much of the history of the Han, to the point that I'd argue the engineering background isn't the source of the stabilizing pressure, but rather a facet of the Han culture.

You say "Risk is bad in business", here, on a forum dedicated to startups? Where our conversation hinges around venture capital investments and quit your day job gambles? Yeah, some, perhaps even many, risks get you sunk. On the other side

you cannot make the argument that unforseeable effects are patently bad. You're contradicting your terms, and arguing that you have an inkling that it would be bad, rather than, possibly, good.

We'd also have to give them problems to solve outside of 'how do I raise my children' or 'feed myself' or 'entertain myself'...or is that what you meant by productive?

Children can't be compared to goods. There's biological things at worth beyond self interest. That is to say, people want children, even though its not in their self interest. I'd posit, if you were to try to assign children a status as a g

The first question is very difficult to answer..the second? >Or, how does a developed nation survive in relative bounty surrounded by nations undergoing severe war and famine? Brutality and self interest.

That currently developed nations currently have a negative growth rate only makes sense in terms of our current medical situation. If it were a hundred years ago, they'd all have collapsed by now, and if life expectancy doubled, or if peopl
