Ahh, so volumetric rather than holographic then. I always get a bit suspicious of claims of commercial holographic displays due to the data requirements, if nothing else. Here's an analysis from the MIT Spatial Imaging Group, for insta

Scraping = extracting data from a third-party website. That definition would seem to include some journalistic quotes.

That seems wide. I thought it was human readable to machine indexable, not human readable to human readable.

I've run into those folk as well, and they also usually believe in chem-trails, crystal healing, that all tech is from aliens doing deals with the government and that we never went to the moon. I think someone must have left a copy of

Big doors and time-locks are likely to work better. Side-arms to protect computers is just security theater. The only reason I can think of to have armed guards at a data center is if the people working there are at a real risk of armed att

This job will be more appropriate for somebody else, and this company will probably be better off with somebody happy working in the new environment. If several senior developers leave because their attitude is not a good fit for new mana

It occurred to me recently that there are several forms of police state. What most people mean when they say police state is when there is political intent to create a police state, a good example of this being the Stasi. However this polit

I just looked up the company Whole Foods Market that has those premises, they started in Austin in 1980, so presumably the City of Raleigh must have some of the best public officials in the world, given they can predict both yuppies and the

No he hasn't, you are completely misrepresenting his argument. He has been arguing for strong AI, but against it being a UTM, on the claim of there being problems that humans can solve that are provably non-computable. He may be wrong,

Perhaps which is more pertinent to a discussion about Yanukovych's 'dictatorial' ways? The second election, obviously. In the first election he was not in power yet.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has a lot of good social satire in it. They cut far too much of that from the film.

The hippies and love-children and down-with-the-man types of the 60s and 70s have been in power for the last quarter century. In the Ukraine? Are you completely mental?

I think that many of the powers that be in the UK are very wary of a manufacturing economy. I suspect they equate it with an organised labour movement and that was part of the ideology behind the push for a post-industrial economy in the 19

Well, we are doing pretty well on the corruption front. I don't get the impression that we are as corrupt as Russia, but then again, we are not rebuilding from utter collapse. In 2003 Operation Tiberius found that men suspected of bei
