This is rather more interesting from a machine learning point of view than philosophy. For instance, it seems a blind person does know about space from touch, but cannot innately identify space from visual information. What can we infer abo

As nice it is to see some hard figures, the numbers are disheartening. They say it's possible to make some side money during college, but don't even think about trying 10 years later :/

I've been to that campfire. Turkmenistan's main non-urban tourist attraction. First, the gas seeps up through the ground, not through a single bore at the surface. So it is hard to capture. Second, the amount of gas coming out of

A nice combination of lo-tec and hi-tec. I find it is a key element that the "bots" are primitive, and thus cheap to create when needed in masses. The little "bots" are apparently capable of 3 degrees of freedom movement

Hey, you're asking for help, and that sounds to me like you're on the way up again, even if it's a long and hard road :)

I have heard of Threes only because of 2048, and by extrapolating wildly, I can only conclude that there is no factual basis to it hurting Threes' sales.

Weird how the higher order (imo wrong) interpolation on the graphs immediately gives the whole article a suspicious flair.

I do wonder if something like this exists, now. I'm familiar with the Dyson ring and sphere, but I never thought of a torus. Even though after the sphere, it seems the most plausible 'mode.'

What makes these headphones an order of magnitude more expensive than venerable work horses like the HD-25 ( http://en-de.sennheiser.com/on-ear-dj-headphones-hd-25-1-ii )?

Since you're not building the same thing every time, you don't have wholesale proven and tested solutions for everything. The engineering part is going about filling the gaps systematically, and figuring out what parts require clo

The reasonable here does not mean what's techincally easiest or reasonable for the government, but what a reasonable violation of the suspects' or innocent people's privacy is, in light of the suspected crimes. Grabbing the s

Engineering is systematic approximations and best-guessing. The art of it is knowing when shortcuts are good enough. Only very small parts of software can be proven, especially for things like flight control, where the parameter space is

TL;DR: long winded bad analogy, but maybe helpful That doesn't sound quite right to me. Not that it is wrong, but maybe looking at it the wrong way? For the discussion, I propose an object has some state, and can receive messages and

It does not happen when driving over a hill. There are two different levelling functions. What you describe is the "homing" procedure for the stepper motors (typically) that do the levelling. Static levelling is mandatory for HID
