I'm just saying, if they want to use a robot to attack you, they have a lot better option then these. The basic design heavily supports cargo/search and rescue. They aren't gonna use them as killbots, when they grossly underp

More like as robotic pack mules. Or search and rescue. I doubt that sticking some guns on them is gonna be the most effective use.

Well since they have access to the battery info, they prolly take that into account.

The article mentions planting them close together and having them compete for sunlight, thus stimulating fast growth.

Exactly. It's a work machine, used for doing work. I don't do private/personal/secure things on it, as it's not my personal computer. Browsing HN or w/e isn't really a private activity, so I don't min

Grandma just bought her laptop from the fine folks at Best Buy. They obviously know best, and why would the sell her a computer in less the pristine condition? It's fine as is, she doesn't know to or have to pay someone to fix som

Oh man I hate keyboards like that. If the keyboard is causing me to hit wrong keys, it's the keyboard that's wrong.

"Lego sets are so uncreative nowadays, I buy a set and then only build what was intended. I'm obviously not the problem." Seriously, those sets and the cool pieces just add many more dimensions to what you can creatively buil

I think this is the point where someone is supposed to say whoosh. The person above was being sarcastic.

When the motivation is more personal fulfillment or better pay/conditions, and less "Can I put food on the table and a roof over my head", there's a lot less pressure and nervousness about the interview as well.

That might possibly be the case. But then, where is any of the academic evidence? In general or even for particular settlements? There seems to be plenty of evidence saying that people were fine drinking water, there seems to be a distinct

And the fact that there isn't nearly enough storage capacity being created in the world to contain said data for any reasonable amount of people?

Not the computer that was running SR, the computer that he was accessing SR with.

Not lossless then. High quality? IDK. I thought there was something.

On the other other hand, Vinyl at least has some upsides. Listening to a Vinyl is an experience, plus it's lossless, and physically owning a record is cool/makes good art/conversation pieces. Windows3.11 would be interesting

On those kind of issues, the google results are a bit muddled. You'll get the results saying "No, of course vaccines don't cause autism", alongside a bunch of BS articles saying "It totally does, because I had my ki

Even a friendly Genie superintelligence would likely not cause that IMO. It would work to remove the problems we set before it. Unless we asked it to remove culture and fun/worthwhile hobbys/activities, I don't see how it wou

Create a currency, create an exchange for that currency, create a market for that currency. DPR = Karpeles = Satoshi would be brilliant.

I'd think that that friendly super intelligence would realize the issues associated with post-scarcity society and would act in the best interests of humanity. It would weight human happiness as more important and work to avoid the pit

Companies are free to only release wherever they want. The legal aspect is when your phone depends on an appstore that refuses to allow competition in (I.E, if Android only allowed Google Maps and not any others). That's the anti-trust

Yeah I don't know what that person is talking about. Those MUNICIPAL services are typically taken care of by.... The Municipality!

Do remember it's also based off plays, not follows. I could have 100k followers, but if I get 500 plays a day, I'd get barely anything.
