If you used a wheel to move something heavy from one place to another, you're a transhuman. If you used fire to disinfect your recently caught prey, you're a transhumanist. If you read a book .. The only conclusion to be made from

There's nothing in the article that indicates they reached out - there is plenty in the article to indicate that the assumption of entitlement to the mountain was being made, in spades.

What does the word "perhaps" mean to you? The example given was just an example - and in fact, an assumption cannot be made that the light-bearers were intentionally trying to interfere in a photo session. It is entirely unreasona

Back in the early days of the Web, there was a company started that would allow anyone to annotate any web site - basically, you could go to any site, and add your own little notes to it, for others to view. It didn't last long - there

At that scale, wouldn't it make sense to just have raw block i/o copies being done to a disk image, and then mount the image onboard to do the actual data transfers? Seems to me a majority of the overhead with 1000 SD cards is in

CD-ROM block sizes were 2048 bytes (2k), so its not entirely unreasonable to design what we now consider low-memory devices around the technology, nor is it a requirement that huge-memory systems be tied to CD-ROM drives... 128k is enough f

The issue is, glib understanding replaces actual application. Its one thing to have the AI work through the materials and explain it. Its another thing to have lost a lot of the background information required to sustain that explanation. G

Privacy is a key human right that should not be abrogated by the state, ever. Fundamentalist-authoritarian chauvinism for your own state is no justification for these human rights violations - assuming of course you are a citizen subject of
