On a similar vein, I wonder what are the strategical consequences of such an advance. Assuming it works as described in the article, do you allow the technology to be exported ? Because a whole fleet of fusion air carriers, battleships, sub

Because of the network effect. It is a lazy way to keep up a list of contacts you have worked with, that will automatically update itself when people move. I don't really plan to contact everyone in the future, but I sometimes look up

If you are referring the infamous 75% tax, it was initially supposed to be a new tax bracket for the income tax (so any source of income above 1 million €), but it has been transformed in a tax paid by companies that are paying salaries and

What is not clear in my mind is how long the Dakota shale boom will last. I have read somewhere that by 2025 most of oil that can be recovered at $100 will be depleted. So likely the price will increase sharply again. So what is the next fr

I think you're first sentence is a bit of rationalization. Because it is kind of slippery slope : "You know Alabama is not really well known for its hospitals", then "You can't really find a good clinic south of 8 M

Before the nurse contamination in Spain, I was pretty optimistic. Now that someone got contaminated in a highly controlled environment with training and procedures, where people knew they were dealing with a Ebola patient, there is no way t

It is snappier, the launcher/finder works relatively well but can take some times if you have too many lens. I quite like the keyboard shortcuts to glue a window in a corner, or to change workspace. That's about it. It does not ge

This is a courageous disclosure since the OP risks to be in some trouble for his "ethical probing".

You can't earmark your donation for Ebola though, but they are spending like 85% of their funds on actual operation costs so you might be sure that your money will help.

Somehow I read "what the users want" as "what location based rating companies wants". From all the faults you can blame on Google+ (real name policy, tighter integration, etc), this is probably the one users are most unc

I am not sure it could work, people probably won't bother reacting to the help call or at the other extreme, a mob without control will form, but it is interesting because it is capturing both the gamification and isolation trends of o

It is extremely dubious that even if we had the technological mean, we should do it. Because altering the rain pattern in California will have repercussions elsewhere we can't probably assess very well. There are already plenty of tens

Nothing is unmanageable, and it is obvious that an engineered habitat will be less "diverse" than Earth that have evolved for billions of years. Take food for example. The basics will be available anywhere in the Solar system, bu

In the short to mid term, living on Mars or an asteroid will be much harsher that on Earth. It is colder, there are plenty of space radiation. You'll have to put a suit to go outside. You are not going to frolic in a shallow creek on M

I certainly does not work as hard as the cleaning lady getting up at 5 am to clean my desk. I just sit there typing lightly on my ergonomic keyboard, in my air-conditioned office and in the end, I will probably end better off, even though s

It might depends if you live in common law or civil law country. In the former case, you could say that sometimes a judge could create a law. Less so in the latter case. GP is very likely coming from the common law perspective.

To be fair, restrictions on tobacco products are well supported by the majority of, at the very least non-smokers, voters in most Western countries. You don't see massive demonstrations or petitions to reinstate the right to smoke in o

Preneur comes from "prendre" which means to take . So a more literal translation would be an undertaker , not as someone who manages burials, but undertakes something. (By the way an undertaker, would be translated as an "E

I have seen Ello popping up multiple times on HN. Ok, this is an ad-free social network with a manifesto and you are not the product. This is fine and dandy. But at the end of the day, you need some source of income. Does anyone know what i

It happens that if you are good at what you are doing you won't be promoted, because it will be hard to find someone to replace you. So you have to clearly signal that you want to move, because for your manager it might be more comfort

Another recommendation : I used to listen to "Bluemars - Music for the space traveler" stream, but it has been defunct[0] for some time. However, it seems someone is trying to revive it there [1]. It is really great to use as back

if 'libapt' is not the root cause and if it already is installed on your system , you can probably update safely using `aptitude update`.
