Genuine question: I didn't followed closely this case, and I'm quite surprised to see so much people defending Ulbricht or the Silk Road on behalf of internet freedom. Some people comparing him to kevin mitnick... I mean, ain&#x27

Yes, it's a possibility, and I based the rest of my argumentation on a human brain model scenario.

Another thing that might interest you: "lets imagine I'm infinity tough and not torn to shreds due to tidal forces" In fact you don't need to be infinitely tough. If you choose a black hole large enough (like the massive

Also, to clear things up, you are mixing two point of view here, so here is the separation (you are the object going into the black hole): "the universe would appear to be slowing-down/getting-smaller until it had dimensions of ze

First you have to understand that a black hole in fact, doesn't have anything really special (until you enter the event horizon), except that their escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. But gravity applies to it like for

Yes, if you looked at something going into a black hole, it would appear to you that it is slowing down exponentially the closer it gets to the event horizon, until a point where it appears to completely stop (before reaching it). But in th

So you changed your mind? Partaking into and funding research on the subject is now not sufficient to express themselves? And i'm the one not being cohesive? And please stop with your arogant (and erronous) definition of what science i

Thank you for the compliment. Stephen Hawking partakes in research, with Intel, mostly on speech recognition, to help him being able to better express himself. Elon Musk funds several startups in the field of advanced AI.

Thinking about something (more than during a HN argument), to me, is the opposite of not giving a fuck, so I am being very cohesive, thank you.

Fear is a demonstration of non competency? So there can never be harmful technologies? If someone more knowledgeable than me on a subject fears it, well I think it's worth at least listening to him. Not dismissing his concerns arrogant

You cannot have non sci-fi proof of future events, it will always be unmeasurable theories. So you can choose to wait and see, and maybe it will be too late or to hard to act when you have sufficient proof. Or you can choose to start thinki

Black holes most certainly exist. What he said is that their is a problem with the way we comprehend them now and that our current model for an event horizon may be false.

70% of hacker news readers develop software for a living, that doesn't make us in any way competent to judge that. I would even argue that may make us less competent, because we use our day to day development routine as a reference for

Wouldn't it be nice if we had identified global warming earlier and started acting on it before industries that pollute became a vital part of our society, and hence became much harder to change?

A black hole is a singularity. You can reach it, you just can't come back from it.

by Voloskaya 12y ago
Nice reasoning. We could die from many other ways, so why should we care about another one? Why should we care about global warming, I mean, it won't stop asteroids from smashing earth. Why should we care about nuclear war head prolife

On what basis do you say their fear comes CLEARLY from ignorance? Maybe it is your assurance that comes from ignorance and their fear from insight?

The primary objective was always planned to last few days, and it did that part pretty much perfectly (80-90% of results were received). After these few days, there was a secondary objective, which was to turn Philae into a kind of weather

Gets reinjected in a special fund that the EU can then use where they want. It's usually just injected in the central budget, to reduce the contribution each member country has to pay.
