IMHO There's no good reason for 'feminists' to be upset about robot brothels. If anything, it would re-inforce the divide between fantasy and reality. The only explanation is that it's competition. It might sate some men

For example, the order in which questions are asked is important in quantum physics but not in classical physics. But in that respect, the human mind often behaves more in a quantum way, he says: For example, in a study published

The EU may or may not be bumbling, but they have had a real beneficial effect in the past. The USB phone charger mandate really transformed a dismal situation. In any case, the EU are an elected, accountable body. Apple are not, whatever th

Another limit, now that I look, is the amount of power available to a PCIe card CPUs can draw 200W or so which already seems extreme for a small rectangle of a few centimeters. But also consider that they run at low voltage, typical
