Asking this question out of sheer ignorance: Aren't (air-to-air) heat pumps simply bidirectional air-conditioning units? If so, was AC incorrectly maligned for years as being inefficient and expensive?

I don't really understand the question. Nobody got to fly until we figured out how to build airplanes, people before that lived on the ground. Likewise, we'll live with iterations on the current command line, until AI is fully i

Time will tell, most of your objections are temporary and don't represent any fundamental limit to the technological possibilities, only the current reality. Personally, if nothing else, I would gladly trade a bulky phone for somethin

If Netflix had seen themselves strictly as a distribution service, they might have taken an open-to-all, low-margin, high-volume approach, which had a chance to become ubiquitous and unassailable. Basically, they could have been the Cable-

Virtual reality will be the ultimate CAPTCHA system. Virtual scenarios can be constructed to motivate and engage the VR user, while simultaneously mapping to a real problem to be solved for the operator. In a way, every user will be helping

If those 12,000 jobs aren't generating profit, then there isn't a reason to keep them. But how do you cut that many jobs without also negatively affecting your ability to generate revenue? It seems very odd that a relatively mino

There's something very satisfying about that classic Mac look. This project has roots back to 1997, but there have been no commits for the past 3 years.

My belief is it is unfounded and ultimately based in narcissism. "I am so important that I create the external reality, I really am the center of the universe, it wouldn't exist without my mind" It's an appeal to self-i
