The description of the working conditions, job availability in the region, and worker treatment reminds me of the initial few chapters of Manna ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna_%28novel%29 ). In the novel, employees are instantly replac

Neat idea, I like the idea of a somewhat intelligent "traffic swarm", but the article doesn't address what effects a malicious player could induce on the scheme. What's to stop people from randomly broadcasting "Traffic Jam Ahead" signals t

For the mobile phone use case, it seems like the transmitter would have to be emitting constantly in order to keep the base station appraised of its current position, for the purposes of computing the channel characterization. Otherwise, ho

How did they fit enough transmit elements into a cell phone to do that? I thought cell phone antennae were omnidirectional.

"Each client device continually transmits its channel characterization vector..." Sounds like the scheme is going to wreak havoc on the battery life of a typical mobile device.

Even if a user can utilize the maximum bandwidth provided by a wireless network, it still doesn't necessarily follow that the resulting data transmission rate would also be capable of overwhelming the information processing capacity of some

I've been to a chiropractor before and it really does work, at least for the problem I was experiencing (which was some sort of simple alignment problem.) The guy basically just pushed on my spinal column in different directions and I could

So do you think that "speaking" multiple computer languages counts the same as speaking multiple spoken languages, in terms of mental fitness and the other benefits outlined by this study? Obviously something like C++ isn't as complicated a

Scott Aaronson is basically THE go-to guy for anything involving complexity theory or quantum computing. His explanations are phenomenal and his blog is usually full of easily understood information. He posted something a few weeks ago abou

I certainly did describe a hard real-time system. It's nice to see that other people recognize the distinction. Every time I see a post describing a "real time" system I always read into it hoping that what they are describing is a hard rea

It sounds like a neat project, but I think describing it as "real time" is misleading if you're not also providing information on latency. The majority of the provided use cases seem to indicate a high level of scalability and durability, a

Why bother DDOSing the exchange when you could instead use the same botnet to perform all of the bitcoin computations legitimately at a massive scale? Am I missing something here?

So, how many of these algorithms do you think are covered by litigatable software patents?

Someone must have hacked their Gibson.

Hopefully it works better than their C/Fortran interface library. Navigating nested/arrayed MATLAB data structures through their API is a complete pain.

This got blocked by the proxy server at work. Can anyone summarize (if a summary is even needed beyond the title)?
