Every time I try to get a good picture of an eagle with my iPhone it turns out blurry and that’s in the daytime with them flying slowly overhead. It’s been a while since I tried the same with a plane but I imagine the results are similar. I

Ultraterrestrials would be interesting but they’d also need a really good reason for hiding. Now, if they no longer live here but are just coming back for a visit…

Any sci-fi idea about what extra terrestrial life would look like is as good as the next. All of them involve speculation from almost no data. If I had to bet though, I’d say that alien life is even more diverse than life on earth since it

I think it sums it up nicely. The fact that a company makes a lot of money isn’t an argument against them and we spend a lot of money on many nonsensical things so spending more on something that drives technological advancement is a good t

I think a lot of people are more worried about corruption on the board of Pfizer than they are about foreign CIA operations. They can also be worried about government corruption at the same time since there are clear lines of influence betw

Don’t need oxidation when you have extremely high pressure to get an explosive result.

Every weapon that provides an asymmetrical advantage does that. The problem is that weapons capability doesn’t stay asymmetrical forever. Once both sides have them in abundance they start being used in completely different ways that usually

Fair’s fair, I have to ask what happens when one of these fails catastrophically? The step where the CO2 reaches 300C while surrounded by “steel shot” bricks sounds like it could be the world’s biggest pipe bomb. Although even a large leak

I am not a Go programmer but I would assume that each behaviour of Animal would be a struct with one or more methods. Those behaviours are added to the agent to make it an animal. Composition. If you want your Food item to walk like a duck

I wasn’t touting haggling, I meant a name your price model.

The problem is with fixing the prices on the sellers end. You’re leaving money on the table by not allowing for price negotiation. A set price essentially tells everyone below that price point that your store is closed so don’t even bother.

I don’t know how to break this to you… but you’re about 80 years late.

It’s really unfortunate the position they’re put in. It’sa hangover from the 1800s really when they were part of the professions and almost minor aristocracy. We need more competent technicians who are willing to work with their clients and

Does that coincide with the switch from animal fats to vegetable oils?

If that’s what they’ve been doing with YouTube recommendations then it’s definitely nowhere close to identifying interests or motivations. Whatever they started changing in 2016 has been making the recommendations less and less personally r

Well we’ve done 2 over cities closely spaced with each other and also following a firebombing campaign that burned a lot more cities. If a burning city or forest was all that was required for a nuclear winter we’d have had one long ago. For

That solution already contains one glaring fallacy. I wonder how badly the other points would turn out if implemented. There’s something to be said about human intuition or even just revulsion when faced with such boldly insensitive proposa

The 2% off visual data that we process is essentially just the stuff that is changing. It’s not some secret hidden knowledge, we can still intentionally examine things closely and see all there is to see.

And how would you solve the compression problem of dealing with all that data? Our brains are running a similar algorithm to mpeg-4 where we discard redundant data and make some basic predictions about movement. If they didn’t we’d waste a

Alternatively, it simply makes it easier to click on the presented content than to purposely seek out other content. Front pages and headlines dominate media for a reason.

If you believe so strongly in the ability of institutions to ferret out untruth then surely you’d be ok with the application of such knowledge. We have the ability to do real time analysis in communications such as email, text and cell phon

The problem is not the existence or propagation of misinformation, disinformation or lies or truth. The problem is the attempt to control any of it by decree. You cannot trust anyone with the power to be the sole arbiter of truth. Everyone

It’s important to note that while he credits the book with inspiring him to investigate bioelectricity, he states repeatedly in his talks that it is not the same method of action outlined in the book that actually works to reprogram cells.

I think 99% of Americans certainly have the stomach for it. The 1% that derive their income from skimming the difference created by cheap Chinese labor don’t.

We can get out of bed with them. The current situation is like watching the appeasement of 1920s-1930s Germany happening again in real time. Our corporations are defending their supply lines that directly involve businesses run by the CCP.
