This seems like a bold marketing ploy. At least posting it didn't cost anything

Google probably calculated that they'll win more customers with this tech than they lose. If they calculated at all, and it's not just another stab in the dark like many Google products.

It's a really cool toy if you can afford it and want to spend that much money. A tiny but premium full-frame point-and-shoot could be super useful if you're in a situation where you can't carry much. If I was rich (I'm n

Sounds really good, but neither the article nor any information I could find on the company says anything about read/write speed compared to other options. I would think that would be a big factor when you're dealing with that muc

But following your logic everything would be illegal! There's a whole lot we don't know about how aspirin works, for instance. Governments should not be in the business of banning things unless there's a clear and present dan

There are jurisdictions where it's legal, and shops that will ship it virtually anywhere. The product is pure, tested, and consistent. Of course you have to find such a shop (hint: try Canada), and it's still a lot of hassle for s

I didn't realize Brin was such a MAGA. For one thing "the UN" is not some monolithic organization, but is composed of numerous factions, alliances, etc., some of which will come down on opposite sides of any issue. And of cou

I disagree. Just because I downvote a post doesn't mean I want it to disappear. I may want to revisit the discussion at a later time, in which case I may want to review everything that's been said.

Ah, yet another "best of" list. A staple of lazy writers and editors, which dependably generates tons of chatter, since of course no two people have the exact same tastes.

Neuroscience is still struggling to understand the basic operations of the brain, let alone the "mind." There's no agreed-upon definition of "intelligence." Can you define cognition (literally, "knowing")

It's just a stab at creating a non sequitur and confusing that with wisdom. "Sure, apples fall from trees, but do trees fall from apples?"

Apparently our so-called "moral sense" is the result of all of our life experiences, and varies from person to person, and isn't even consistent within one person. I'm not an AI developer, but I would imagine this makes

"The pigment emits light in the near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is invisible to the human eye." Does this mean that it's luminescent? I always thought pigments absorbed and reflected light.
