May be a strategic move by FB to cultivate relationships in the political ecosystem. FB doesn’t seem to have quite the free market clout it used to, and will likely rely on these relationships for many reasons in the future. By giving polit

I imagine if accelerometers were sensitive enough they could be used in place of GPS, once a device was calibrated with position and orientation.

You’re saying even if police/security had all that power, and they abused it, the public wouldn’t care. I’m saying they absolutely would. We sure cared about Rodney King, and that was the result of a video of a public event that occurr

Serious question: If they were able to see all communications legally, and had all the snooping powers they seem to desire, would we be better off in the long run? There’s probably an implicit belief - on this site and elsewhere - that thes

If all belligerents had access to robots for fighting each other; if only robots could be used in warfare; and if the outcome were to have no effect on the welfare of the people, then the people would be impartial as to the outcome. If the

According to my understanding, the current US patent system is often summarized as “first inventor to file” meaning the named inventor must believe herself to be the original inventor. Prior art is still relevant WRT patent prosecution. The

I like your probing. I think it is going to take a variety of viewpoints for you to begin to arrive where you want to be. Which is great - it’s a path as good as any. Some are born and are told and are happy with that. Others question, and

These questions are wonderful to ponder. I view the will of God as the “why” and the physical laws of nature as the “how”. When people say “everything is connected” I interpret that to mean while it’s true that physical causes and effects b

I was thinking similar thoughts. I imagine a lot of efforts are duplicated in all industries. New players have to make many of the same mistakes established players made, and this is part of the barrier to entry. Someone could potentially m

So what do software inventors in these countries do with their inventions? Edit - It seems to me that there’s clamoring about software patents without suggestions for alternatives. Were software patents always disallowed in these countries?
