I think all account credentials related things should be handled by special support people, who were trained to understand the situation. Shouldn't be that big percentage of all requests when people need to change/remember passwor

Well, they also should think of the way they will accept money, which is harder to fake.

I'm not sure about that, in 2030 he'll be 75 years old, he might have different perspective at this age.

Well, I wouldn't mind if most restaurants had robots instead of waiters and digital food ordering (like tablet on a table). Human element I usually need is people I came with, not waiting staff, I don't remember when I had any use

I think more beneficial would be if we focus our force on getting thermonuclear fusion working (or other source of 'free' energy'). Cheap endless energy will superspeed all other endeavors.

It's still based on human games. It plays itself but the way it plays was inherited from human. I wonder if there is some fundamental barrier to what you can reach with reinforcement depending on your base.

Yes, but how far can it go beyond human level? Will it be slight margin, so it can win 4-1, or it will soon became able to beat top players with 1,2,10 stones handicap?

Yes, but is it known if there's some limit to what you can reach doing this? I mean, if they trained it on games of bad amateur players instead of good, and then played itself, will it keep improving continuously to the current level o

> There's no doubt that with further refinement, we'll soon see AI play Go at a level well beyond human Will we though? AlphaGo trains on human games, so can it go well beyond that level? Will it train on its own games?

You still can leave right star-rating - as I understand it's not visible for the host. Even with bad reviews - you can calmly choose hosts for the future staying and ignore few who don't want to rent listing to you because of bad

I think Spanish, English and Portuguese are broken languages (French less, because France dominates it) because they were spread during era of colonial empires and now there a big countries which use it as main language, they have evolved s

Great news, so pharma companies could focus more on drugs itself and less on marketing. It's huge money waste with mysterious intention - if your drug is the best, doctors should use it anyway, and if it's bad but you can increase

And now, when advertising is allowed, doctors don't have to learn those new drugs?

Looks like one request to 'controls.account.microsoft-int.com/me?partner=surface&market=en-us' makes whole page very slow, at least for me it waits for 20 seconds and only after it fails page continues loading.

I think it's a complete script for an oscar-level movie and I would love to watch it.

It's written in pretty easy way, you just must be interested in this stuff, then you'll enjoy it :)

I don't know if there's something new in there, but Leonard Susskind wrote a book in 2008 exactly on that matter - "The Black Hole War" [0]. He describes his "battle" with Hawking on whether the information is

I was thinking why they use ball form instead of something sheet-like. E.g. thin pancake - it will have same properties as the balls but will cover surface more efficiently, if you count material.

by aquadrop 11y ago
Looks like 3d simulation example came to life :) But seriously, why balls are used? They say it's cheap but 36 cents doesn't look too cheap on the hundreds of millions scale. Wouldn't it be better to use sheet-like form? It w

I think they are growing much slower than the industry and competition from AWS makes their margin razor thin. Latest quarter report shows that revenue growth was only 1.6% over previous quarter and profit margin of 0.6%, and their shares a

Local shop owner offers consulting service - go with you to the Home Depot and help you find right things for your project (and hoping next time you'll go the his shop, after you see how good he is) :)

AWS is a giant construction store like Home Depot, where you can find everything. Rackspace is local home improvement shop, with good service, which was doing fine until Home Depot build it's store nearby. Now people have less and less

What about remote jobs? Do any companies in your pool do that?

I was confused by this as well, usually it's the other way around. I think regular reasoning is from largest (widest part of arrow) to smallest. Thanks for the site though :)

What about Mexico? It's near, you'll be disconnected in another country and I think you can find something cheap but good there.

I don't know, making hard drugs easily available in the country with large number of people living in poverty could end up not too good... I think we should dig history more on that, China and opium comes to mind: http://en.
