You'd be lucky if that's the next phase, more likely it's just more Twitters and Facebooks.

Person of race A and race B have two children. People tend to think child 1 is race A, people tend to think child 2 is mixed race AB. In the social sense, it could be said that child 1's race is race A, even though genetically it

The line I always heard about that was that just by taking notes you'll remember and process more of the content, even if you don't review them later. I think for some content this was true for me, but it definitely wasn't un

I read The Book of All Skies and quite liked it, but yeah, I basically just skimmed over the especially mathy sections. In that one the math is about (spoiler?) how gravity would work with a very unique planet, with comparisons drawn to ele

I don't see how genetics allowing for instinctual/"inherent" knowledge requires a creator. Once upon a time there was a bug that had a little sticky bit on it's butt, it had a billion descendants when one of them ra

If I'm interpreting it right, no, it's not the same argument. It sounds like she said she basically checks if it's been talked about in Science besides as an existing paper. Seems reasonably for a publication to consider it&#

As mentioned, Nano is inherently feeless. In theory it's supposed to remain fast and reliable at high network usage, and as of right now it's very fast, but it's only doing about 26k tx/day (about the same as Monero) so

A capitalist would argue that, but they would probably be wrong, given massive long-running "market failures" in improving the planet and average quality of life on global and local scales despite reasonably free markets. Markets

Is being distracted by your thoughts so terrible that the rest of the movie should be expunged? I'm more of the opinion that 5 minutes of graphics that were probably impressive at the time could be cut.

A prototype could use manually sourced news sites that consistently use datelines that are easy to parse. It could be hard to scale that up, especially for languages-you-don't-read, but could still be interesting. Could also have a glo

I don't think these reasons are very persuasive, as everything but 5 has been true at different times in the past. Obviously it's much more people, more dollars, and more impressive systems (but slower hardware progress), but I ho

The poor are poor because they don't have money. If you give them money, they will no longer be poor, QED. I say that somewhat jokingly, but I think it's basically true. AFAIK welfare/basic income studies have shown that givi
