Indeed. As to the whole "we don't actually understand how it works" - we still can't make up our minds as to how wings work, so this isn't overly novel. Sure, we can explain the outcome, but whether it's Na

Sorry to jump in with a tangential reply, but BEWARE of the following! Google treat the http and https versions of a domain as SEPARATE PROPERTIES. This means that even if you 301 every http page to https when you transition, all of your cu

It's orbiting the sun, however its orbit is such that it will take it around the comet in a roughly triangular shape - but this isn't the same thing as orbiting.

It's not just the star ratings that are broken, it's the entire hospitality system. Having had the opportunity to take a good, long stare at the underbelly of how hotel rooms are arbitraged, marketed, booked, and how the ensuing r

No, it IS a novel question, and it has yet to be answered. You talk as though Israel is a done deal, when the ongoing situation suggests anything but. Why do you need to do political astro-turfing for Israel on a totally unrelated thread?

I did this as a kid - serious fun. Used the americium from a smoke detector as a source, after several abortive attempts to build a synchrotron... The third time you wind several km of copper just to end up melting it is the last time, it t

You don't need to simulate the entire universe in order to accurately simulate a causal chain - just the visible universe. Which is a lot smaller. Hell, you could just simulate an individual and what they observe. For all I know, I&#

A close family friend is a very senior nurse at the Red Cross, and was deployed to help deal with the Ebola outbreak some months ago. The emails I've had from her are horrifying. What's being reported in the media is the absolute

It seems that everyone deriding this as pointless may be unaware of the simulation argument. It hasn't been disproven, and it's more likely than not that at some point it will be proven , given the pace of technological advanceme

"It seems" Yes it does. A year ago "it seemed" that the internet wasn't 100% insecure, however. Therefore, this was more likely than not a cover. I mean, we already know from Snowden that the bios bit is a lie. They

Anyone suspected of being suspected to having known someone suspected of being suspected of reading the rulebook, you mean. Don't be so restrictive. Once we're all designated terrorists, nobody's a terrorist. Once you take ev

Enhanced interrogation techniques, you mean. Everybody knows the us gov would never torture anybody. Just enhance them. With interrogation.

So, if influencing government policy is terrorism... what does that make the government, and corporations, who by far and above "influence policy" more than any other group?

No, this would have been September '59, most likely, after the Lunik II landing. They did it right under Khrushchev's nose. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZhgFUyCOhHcC&pg=PA205&lpg...

I can't do steady and consistent, and I can't not question everything. I've been lied to and misled too many times to take anyone's word for anything any more - only deductive logic based in objective fact and primary so

Hm, there's another extreme that you're missing, which is that of not just thinking about a problem, but thinking about all of the problems , and just forward-projecting and forward-projecting until the cows come home, branchin

Intelligence and depression go hand in hand. The following isn't blowing my own trumpet, but is framing for my perspective. The last IQ test I had (for what it's worth, I put little stead in their worth, and was made to do it by a

It's interesting how several other research groups have done the same - gone "yup, replicated", then followed up with a retraction not long after. There's also a paper floating around in which the phenomenon is explained

You're making the same mistake as most, however, which is seeing "Google, Intel, Apple, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Boeing, any of them" as typical startups. They aren't. They're the 1 in a billion except

No. They'll suppress this, and continue business as usual. In fact, they'll probably find a way (most likely the usual of just funnelling cash to "scientists" and media folks) to put a positive spin on it, win popular ap

You have virtually NO consumer protection with a debit card. Once the money is gone, it is gone. This is why merchant acquirers charge a flat rate of a few pence for debit card transactions, and an extortionate percentage for credit card tr
