The approach you are advocating is incorrect because you are only targeting the symptom and not the solution to the problem. Now you have two problems, one of disenfranchised people (who are now criminals) and one of people wanting to excha

This article annoys me because TMS is a general treatment, there's no mention in the article of it being particularly suitable for Alzheimers or an involved study of it's use in Alzheimers. The entire premise of TMS lacks the prec

Doctor. Since no one has said it yet. My fascination of machines has turned inwards as I've gotten older and the mysteries of our bodies are still waiting to be discovered.

>Musk and Tesla are masters of marketing. Not particularly. If you do something that a lot of people think is cool they will get behind you. "The product sells itself" is the most fundamental law of advertising.

Across the world we really need to start providing free food at a national level- 1. Many large nations already heavily subsidise food for food security as it stands. We need to avoid butter mountains and milk lakes because it's wastef

I have the feeling that before we put the support systems in place for universal healthcare that you'll need a Phd to have a janitors job, and be thankful at that.

We see posts like this daily (and I know this article is more about AI) but there's still no low priced robotic arms on the market. it's almost 2017, but there's no dishwasher unloader or any other meaningful service robots e

I have been experimenting with e-bikes over the past few months and converted a standard BMX to an e-bike over the last weekend. They are unbelievably good. You have to try one to understand how much fun they are. E-bikes have the potential

Stop being overly dramatic. People need to realise that there is a happy gray area wherein regulation is most efficient. When I get into a neighbors shower I want to be nearly certain I won't be electrocuted but also the flip side of h

He basks in controversy. It greatly detracts from what he is hoping to achieve- automate humans traveling in large metal contraptions at 70mph. This is not an area for inflated egos.

As someone following Bitcoin I would mostly agree with this. While Bitcoin cannot be considered a proper (or in any way safe) alternative to Fiat I think it's growth highlights a dissatisfaction with central banking as more people beco
