In essence, in order to figure out the brain, we would need to figure out how a single neuron actually works. I think that will take us 500 years, give or take a few.

Digital Native, eh? I've been on the Internet since '86, when my dad was at school at Purdue. I had a commodore 64, and 2 1541 drives. One was hacked by me for bootlegging. I did the BBS'es but found them boring when compared

All this started with General Electric and Chakrabarty winning the patent case against the Patent Office over patenting life forms. If it wasn't for SCOTUS going in favor of Chakrabarty, we would not be in this mess.

"Gypsies and Jews are destroying Hungary" to "Jews should be welcome everywhere, but we need to stop Muslim immigrants from destroying our tolerant open society" Family infighting sure does suck, doesn't it?

That's because cults are this weird thing in that someone has "salvation" or knows the secrets of "the universe". People get suckered in and empty their pocketbooks and life into someone/thing they hope is for

>I think with tractors you need some heft so they have sufficient traction to pull the equipment behind them. Good point. Analysis of vehicle and applicable torque would be a primary issue. > Also with ten small units you have 10x the

That routing detection you're doing for the tractors looks very similar to a 2d GCode. Maybe there's room for new tractors in the industry. How about autonomous tractors? Make them small, cheap, and autonomous. Instead of the farm

And many of our jobs are in automation research and implementation. Our work puts dozens, if not thousands of people out of work. When driverless vehicles are finalized, that work will put millions of people out of a job. Is it a crime? No.

Don't make the argument "unless your time is free" unless you have 0-turn around time->money converter. Which, your argument is that "Time isn't free, so neener neener", which falls flat in its face. I'

The trick to that is make yourself "qualified", if you want to work one. Holes in employment, sketchy details, questionable descriptions. Or you could go the complete opposite route, and blatantly lie on your resume. As long as yo

In reality, I think of Reddit as Usenet. Tons of groups, and very very low barrier. Flamewars, trolls and idiots are everywhere, and finding a quiet corner for intellectual studies is hard to find... but it is doable. There are also such th

I agree. The system right now is fucked, and we are at least 20 years out before we see the full ramifications. Instead, I imagine something different for a school. If someone fails a course, one has to retake it. This is silly if one is tr

Precisely. Ever since Reagan, Public schools are dwindling to Private with a token appreciation and control from the state. My parents also told me of a time when one could work a summer job and pay for the rest of school year. Long are tho

I know it's not "realistic". But it is a viewpoint as from a student. I just distilled it down to the absolute minimum I could. I work in a staff role at an university. I see things from the students and the faculty role. I s

I might buy that argument if the student and the professor shared the profits. They don't. Instead, the student is bound to pay every last cent of the education. Nowhere, other than court punishments and child support are debts protect

The professors should be servants, in the same light a server is to a meal. I pay for it, I get it the way I want.

Who's paying? Simple question. Really convoluted answer. But the end payers are the students. And they want their money's worth. Of course, the worth is derived from their uneducated selves, and "higher educated" peoples

I would tentatively agree. Fuzzing does appear that it might work, but given the current corpus of what the spy companies have, this is probably a bad avenue of approach. Instead, lets use The Pirate Bay. We can build a scrape of WebMD and

You're right. That is very immature. But OS detection can have good sides to it. For example, a stateful antivirus scanner turns on only for Windows machines. Or with Linux, certain connections and services are made available. Or it ca

I made mine using a line laser and a webcam. Its slow, but I can scan decently well, and in color. Of course, the more lasers and cameras, the faster I can scan.

by kefka 12y ago
When I devised my format for laser scanning, I used X, Y, Z, R, G, B where X, Y, and Z are 4 bytes. RGB was 1 byte each, total of 3 bytes. That's 15 bytes. So.... I'm 600% more optimized than Faro? I think someone's off on th

I would be apt to think that if there was a fair meeting of the minds, and not a Uber based over the barrel "agreement", then this is a non-issue. Every case where 1099's have complained, is because they are employees where t

Wrapping a binary blob and then saying <xml binary=start> ~~~~ <xml binary=end> doesn't make something XML. It's still MS proprietaryness wrapped in an open transport.
