Sorry, that line was erroneous, but didn't affect the rest of the calculation as far as I can tell. I have removed it.

Makes sense. Another thought: Barnaby Jack was one of the top speakers and was to speak on a very controversial subject. I would guess that out of the 5000 speeches that were presented in your scenario only a few of them, maybe 2%, would co

That doesn't consider that the age and economic status of conference speakers isn't representative of the U.S. as a whole. Not that it's impossible for it to be an accident, but the odds are certainly less than 49%, given tha

Ben, pat yourself on the back... you potentially thwarted a world renowned, best-of-class spy agency from collecting invasive personal data from your very lifeblood, your children. This may be the difference between your kids being ordina

"How can you read that and write that alcohol is the "preferred substance for [promoting] oxidation"? The study says precisely the opposite, hence the title "Ethanol causes acute inhibition of carbohydrate, fat, and prot

1. From your link "We conclude that ethanol was a preferred fuel preventing fat, and to lesser degrees, CHO and protein, from being oxidized." So for the few hours that alcohol is in your system, it is the preferred substance for

Regarding point 4, most of the calories that come from red wine is alcohol. Alcohol isn't metabolized the same way as other foods, so comparing calories from alcohol to other foods is misleading. http://www2.potsdam.edu&#x2F

That would only apply if people used the map within the game. Specifically, if when they wanted to find how to get somewhere by subway they actually turned on the game, navigated the character to where the map was in-game, and then studied

Regarding the modding, I guess the group think is still in the doe eyed fanatical allegiance phase.. and hasn't reached the bitter disappointment and finger pointing stage yet.

There probably won't be any prosecution because Snowden most likely defected to the Chinese government. It may have been his plan all along. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would love to leave their families, and

It could be that Eric Snowden is really just a cynical bastard who was trying to get away from his family and defect to China, bargaining with the rest of the secrets he knows to live a comfortable life. Releasing the information to the pub

I've stayed there, too. I felt like I was living in the movie Blade Runner.

China is a big player here, too. And they don't shy away from kidnapping.

I still would question why he didn't then hop on a flight from Hong Kong to Iceland before he let the cat out of the bag. Edit: Maybe he left Hong Kong after the interview but before they published it?

What bothers me is that Apple and Microsoft have both been cooperative. It's not much of a leap to think that the NSA has a backdoor into Windows, MacOS, and iOS now either.

by conroe64 13y ago
Not only that, but Microsoft and Apple? The same companies who make the most popular OS's and phone OS's in the world? It's not much of a leap to think that the NSA has backdoors into each of these OS's, too.

It's really hard not to leak information. This is just a guess, but if they see you doing something they don't like but can't decrypt, they can check their huge PRISM database for your ip. Even if you do a good job at hiding who you are, co

Here is a quick tip, especially for those non confrontational types. When the company makes an offer, just say "Hmm.." and pause for a bit. If the person offering the job is insecure in what they are proposing, they may think you are about

That's what I thought it was, too, at first glance. It would be some gnarly math to figure out how to make the storage reliable, since clients could arbitrarily connect and disconnect at any time (carrying a portion of your data with it). I

So why do you think that an AI could do any better? You really think it's too complicated for people to figure out how distribute wealth fairly enough and that's why it failed? All an AI tasked with making things fair for everybody can do i

A central planning AI to impose fairness and the right to basic survival could only come about and remain standing if there was enough support for it from those already in power to allow this. How would you suppose this would come about? Th

This idea fails because we had the resources to feed everybody today yet it doesn't happen. In the future, when techno-baron A sees that techno-baron B is getting ahead, techno-baron A consumes more resources in order to defeat techno-baron

So, post singularity, people with no wealth or ability to work will be prevented from starving? There are many people that are dying from starvation today. Why would this change?

In minecraft, you can chat with other people within the world. So there is communication. If you raze someones creation (which may or may not be possible depending on the access you've been given), someone else may react to that and tell yo

What do you mean by "does not invite the player to explore ideas and concepts that are going within the game at the same time"? And why is this so important to a child's development that without it, "overall the child is no better off"?

The thing is that a lot of what people do in minecraft is not towards a single goal or accomplishment that is pre laid out by the minecraft developer(s). If you haven't played it before, it's a vast 3D world of detachable bricks that are cr

I don't understand what you are saying? Playing minecraft or watching amateurs' videos of themselves playing is conditioning ? By who, and how?
