Does anyone have a link to this particular paper?

We've had that, except by word of mouth for most of humanity's history. I think that it's one of the ways we got here, unfortunately.

Playing devils advocate: Why should I hire anyone who is accused of rape when I do my background check? Why should anyone else hire such people?

The downside of this is that reputation systems can be wrecked with rumor. A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can take the first step. However, I don't know what's going to work to take people with vast amount

You know it bugs me, but why can't we find the people abusing chat services to do these things? Are there that many of them? I'd like to hope that the percentage of men who are scum is not that high, but recent events have shaken

If you get a chance, try DocFetcher[0]. I use it for my personal calibre ebook library at home, and I love the fact that between it's independent indexing and the calibre portable distribution, I have a completely portable library on m

I agree. Due diligence is always important, but it often seems that a lot of financial advice seems to say "Don't have anything go wrong in your life, or in your family's life."

I wrote a database and interface once that would automatically catalog and run the Safeway Monopoly game, all I had to to was scan in the pieces with an app on my phone. It worked well, but demonstrated just how bad my luck was, after 614 t

I agree. These out of context questions really bother me, as I have no frame of reference to relate the quantity to to know if it's excessive or not. It just seems like a pure ply for attention. Here are some questions that would make

I think that this is the same basic concept as a memristor; current flowing one way probes the state, enough current flowing the other way changes it.

Try this battery instead, if you want something lighter and more portable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3S00H0/ref=oh_aui_de... I used it while camping for the eclipse, and only had to charge it on

Much of the time, it's because their parents or grandparents live there. Having family connections makes it hard to move away from a place, unless you like risk. Which, of course is how those families got there in the first place...

I think that what you're describing is some sort of variant of the "Won't somebody please think of the children" rhetorical tool (or the fallacy "Appeal to Emotion"). I don't know what to do about it, but

I'd guess that it would be close to the size of the adjacency matrix for the human brain, if it is given that the brain has ~1000 dendrites per neuron.

Although I agree that this is unlikely, until we are multi planetary, with at least four worlds/stations, this is not the case.

You tell the child that that is a good, but complicated question, and it will take time to give them the full answer. Then you can introduce them to the pieces as they can understand them, and as you have time.

Have fun with global warming then. I think that humanity needs to come to terms with renewables and nuclear power (with fusion being the best case scenario) for the future of everyone on this planet.

The same sort of tactic can be done with humans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_pAcIjqcuY Nothing (and likely on-one) is foolproof.

This reminds me of Bob Ross and his "Happy Little Trees". I think I could paint some on here if the canvas were bigger, and there was an area off to the side to mix the paint.

I'm more curious as to what the goal of increasing fat mass would be for the virus. You'd think that it has to be part of its reproductive cycle somehow. Are the viruses hiding out inside of fat cells?

by aperrien 10y ago
No, but a virus could change your appetite, your body's allocation of energy from lean mass to fat mass, or alter your overall metabolism. Or any combination of those.

This is interesting, and I guess I have a few questions, for someone knowlegeable out there: Can these nanowires be fabricated on an on-chip array? If so, how densely? I'm assuming that they are electrically conductive, so can we creat
