Where are we going to get the additional electricity to power these virtual worlds in the short term? We're already in a climate emergency due to insufficient green energy to power existing demands...

Unfortunately law enforcement don't have super-human powers and very often don't know who exactly is involved..

I'm not sure what the solution is.. Child abuse is an extremely severe problem. In the future encrypted-messaging may be used by terrorists developing some weapon of mass destruction like a virus. I'm concerned about privacy, but

By "don't they do everything to avoid hitting civilians" do you mean the warning phone calls? They don't make such calls when their aim is to assassinate someone - for obvious reasons.. The IDF also has good information

There's actually an entire field called Effective Altruism [1] that's dedicated to researching which charities put donations to good use - and there are quite a few of them [2] Also, overheads like executive bonuses don't _ne

Of course that was gross criminality & basically mass murder from the IDF side, but they still used the excuse of Hamas using the protests as cover to attack, to breach the border, to fire flaming kites, etc. Nevertheless there was quit

All Palestinian violence, especially by Hamas, is used very effectively to gain international sympathy for Israel and to excuse violent & unjust policies. A much greater level of non-violence from the Palestinian side would result in fa

Thanks! I've read before that org-mode is really featureful but what's holding me back is the time required to get proficient and smartphone support..

I'd also want to integrate notes & TODO - but also time-tracking, i.e. the ability to "click" on any note/TODO and log time against it. Perhaps a TODO can be a note with a tag like "#todo"/"#todo-

As far as I know we already understand quite a lot about the neurological basis of addiction. Some treatments already exist but the main problems with them are social & political ones. Discovering better drugs would be really useful, bu

It's not just FMRI - what about blood tests looking at gene expression, computational methods, tissue engineering, and stuff that hasn't been invented yet? Regarding ICSS though, I've had a look and I really fail to see how t

You're seriously underestimating human ingenuity if you think advances will stagnate for decades. It's also possible more researchers would enter the field since many young people are probably disgusted by the prospect of having t

You could go a long way with the standard scientific method - make predictions, do measurements, compare.

Yes, I know we can't simulate a worm and that it's really hard - that's the point - much more brainpower and resources are required to make progress on the simulation front, but resources are finite and many of them are curre

by metta2uall 5y ago
Lets also consider how much more money and brainpower would be redirected to the development of significantly more advanced technologies if experimentation on animals was to be even partially banned. Things like more advanced simulations, t

by metta2uall 5y ago
If animal experiments were banned in neuroscience I think it's likely that would force the development of new technologies for studying the brain that would actually accelerate progress in neuroscience - "necessity is the mother o

They have similar brains and experience basic feelings quite similarly to humans.

Prisma looks quite good but what held me back is the out-of-process "engine" that handles all queries and talks to the DB. I would imagine all this inter-process communication adds a decent amount of overhead.

I'd just want a PaaS with easy-to-use rate limiting and caching (e.g. for some routes use Redis if unauthenticated otherwise go to the backend, for other routes cache forever)

There's a really good book written by Chade-Meng Tan who was a software engineer at Google called "Search Inside Yourself". It includes quite a lot of content on empathy - e.g. that apparently the same "hardware" is

They're injecting already-made Ψ, not any of the genetic instructions that would enable cells/viruses to make their own Ψ. But the broader concern about advances in biotech being potentially very dangerous is I think a very good o

Fascinating & inspiring that so many innovative techniques have gone into these vaccines. I wonder if any are patented?

Isn't this replacing the complexities of JS libraries like react/redux-saga with the complexities of these new server-side libraries..? Reduced bundle size looks like a big advantage & this will hopefully encourage the adoptio

I wonder if there will be a "post-mortem" regarding why Microsoft didn't detect this attack earlier..? (similar question for other security vendors)

Perhaps you spent so much energy being kind to others that you forgot to be more kind to yourself?

I would also recommend checking out TestCafe. It injects its testing code into the webpage via an http reverse proxy which means it doesn't require internal access to the browser and thus works for unmodified remote mobiles for example
