On second thought, you are right. I was thinking of Alexander having to build boats in India. On the other hand, Google book search has never worked for me. But I do think Google is waaaay better then nothing. Howewver, I am not certain tha

Are these special effects that much better then what is state of the art today? Is their application somehow unique or significantly different or more technological? It seems to me like pretty standard special effects, in fact a bit less sp

How do you know that about Alexander? Googling finds me no source. I want to archive this comment as evidence that in the year 2011 Google and Wikipedia still were not as good as books and libraries.

I don't complain though, because I know that since those are getting upvoted, it means people ARE interested in that type of posts. Complex topics also have people who are interested in them. But for complex topics, in general, the audien

Am I the only one who thinks that 99% chance of cerebral vascular edema is STILL preferable to 100% chance of late stage Alzheimer's? This is absolutely how I feel. I may not take this kind of treatment in the early stages of the disease, b

I can't get specific because De Gray's theories are either too general or so wrong as to not even be wrong. So lets stick to fundamentals. His basic argument: ... the fundamental knowledge needed to develop effective anti-aging medicine mo

IMO, the absurd part is, how do you bring a 93 year old dead person back to life? Or to put in another way, what is more likely: That the future can bring back a dead old and then frozen brain, or that they can reconstruct an individual j

I am not sure that any other animal has evolved to have it's skull and brain squished hard during birth, like we have. This is why chimps outsmart human children for the first years of life. We do indeed have a very unusually plastic brain.

But you can be almost the same person Some people are very badly affected by trauma. But most do get over it and the almost same person is actually a wiser slightly more careful person. A bit less idealist, yep, but that's growing up.

Personally, I'd be happy with settings of the form "To contacts in circle X, display the name Y", and "To strangers, display the name Z". Personally I find it absolutely not acceptable to force me to hand over my real name. This isn't a g

This is great! But why does this (as well as Volvo's) car AI require no special permission from the law, but Google's car AI did? Is it because we welcome an AI which breaks, but not one which drives? Why? Because passive AIs are less scary

When thinking about bubbles, I like to turn the question around and ask myself: Is it possible to grow for many years without any bubbles? I would say no. And that is why while I suspect what we're in is no where near as big as the .COM bub
