I understand your argument but it's taking a very narrow view of best. Specifically, you're usually making a very small selection from a small sample that responded to a specific job description. Now the chances are that you haven

Hard to get excited about puff pieces. If they released some detailed info about their tech (seems unlikely) then that would probably draw some interest here. I'd also take the "replacing a lot of researchers" with a pinch of

Being an advocate of free speech isn't the same as being supportive of every poorly thought out, tangential comment ever written. Equally, a lot of the commentary here is against the idea that FB is having to make decisions about what

This was precisely the concern that led Eben Upton to develop the Raspberry Pi. The idea was to make a cheap, small, device that booted to a prompt so that you interacted with it in the same way that you would have interacted with the DOS p

Obviously I have no idea whether this will be better than the current system or not. However, I'm completely left cold by most of the the argumentation in the article. For example, it complains that 40% of Congress are lawyers, effecti

This is going to sound a bit conspiracy theory but here goes... I was looking at the highlights of the EU competition commission[0]. Is it just me or is there a theme (with a few exceptions) that runs something like: + Large US company

Hmm. The rules are a tad arbitrary. This would be entirely allowed if less people used Google search relative to its competitors. Note, it's not illegal per se. It's not illegal because of a de jure monopoly. It's not even il

According to this [0], which was the press release for Intel's fine, it gets taken off the EU central budget so the member states pay less net. The EU budget is ~145bn EUR I believe. [0] http://europa.eu/rapid/pres

Not to belittle the internal combustion engine but that's just the theoretical efficiency of chemical combustion. It's a local maximum. That's tiny compared to the global maximum energy available from the same amount of fuel.

Did I read this correctly? Is it saying that a general internet connection, without specialist low latency connectivity, is only 37x slower than its theoretical minimum? That's astonishingly good. It's great that they think they c

We call the schools you pay for public schools. We call the schools that are paid from taxation state schools. It's just us being quirky. It's not intended as a deliberate attempt to confuse and confound non-natives. Honest guvnor

Indeed. The like for like historical comparisons [1] that cover the period of the paper to today lend themselves to a very different interpretation. If anything, life expectancy for a 65yo dropped a little through their "golden age&quo

When I first started to be interested in this area, it occurred to me that it might be something like a 'stretchy' spacetime i.e. the particles are actually locally connected but appear unconnected if you use a static spacetime as

The shaking represents any sort of action that doesn't perform a measurement. It was the first thing I thought of that could affect the ball without opening the box. It could be that the shaking didn't have an effect. But equally,

With quantum entanglement, what happens to one particle prior to measurement affects the other even if the effect occurred after they were parted. That's where it gets really spooky. To belabour the colours and boxes analogy: We have 2

That's only true if the interest payment is larger than the income that can be made available to pay it. If you live in Greece then, yes, this is a bit of an issue. The solution there is likely to be some form of writing down of the de

Right, but if that was the limiting factor on throughput with the original pipe, then there's nothing they could do to the bespoke 'yes' to beat it.

It's because the thing generating the thoughts (you) is coupled to the thing perceiving the thoughts (you) via pathways that can carry the information. I, however, am not connected to that thing (you) via equivalent pathways. I am, as

For you to perceive your thoughts doesn't require different properties to other people's thoughts. Just different values to common properties. It's not clear why you would expect this to be inherently different from any other
