Ringwise, I think marriages just got a lot more fun!

...but really though. Y'all are the smartest people I know, and with a little banter we could figure things out. A win for all parties. "Yes, Mom, I took my pills today" Lol

Haven't you seen how discussion lately has improved in quality? For whatever mixture of reasons, the world is finally waking up. We should start lobbing some good thoughts and respect on folks around us, and start to bring them around.

If they actually want it to work as intelligently as possible, they'll begin taking these complaints into consideration and building in a wisdom curating feature where people can contribute. This much is obvious, but they seem to be sa

To the brim, for sure. Probably one day we'll have a "citizen preferences file" where the confidentiality of our interactions with various entities can be granularly set.

Hmm, yeah I suppose anything promoting consumer knowledge would be antithesis to ordinary business schemes. Pie in the sky, alas. Maybe they could grab some preventative lobby money with the threat of it. /s

I'd love it if Apple (since they appear not to sell data) would provide an anonymized receipt analysis service like this. Huge user base right off the bat.

I would add to #5: Remember, Comparison is the Thief of Joy - By ignoring the unfairness of others' chance good fortune, you can continue harvesting dopamine from satisfaction in your own path of gradual accomplishments.

I was pleased to see this: Succinct, and on the right trail. Starting at #2 or #3 holds more interest. Just might help your case with friends who require sources to believe in reason.

Try a used series 4 from eBay if you're curious. They have the same processor as the 5 and 6, and are dirt cheap. For me it's been good enough to overcome "I could take it or leave it" - it's handy for reading alert

Someone needs to standardize a simple reverse-authentication system for this. For example whenever a caller is requesting sensitive information, they give you a temporary extension directing to them or an equal, and ask you to call the orga

Could it be said that entanglement was originally near infinite, as it might now be in black holes? Perhaps now that things are spread out, time appears to move faster because there is less stickiness of entangled particles depending on oth

What kind of mindset would lead to this behavior?? Maybe it doesn't matter. It feels -to me- like simply being exposed to people who say things like: " What ?-- no, that's not good" while remaining professional, respectf

Great question. No study is going to answer this sufficiently. But, remember history. The generation that goes through war remembers that hell and appreciates the following peace because they know the contrast. The following generatio

Very cool, I had not seen Lie algebras before. More fuel for the organic AI ;-). Your description sounds perfectly accurate; uberdelicate electromagnetic manipulation would be the first logical approach. ...Actually Gizmodo just did an art

Great comic! How I visualize this stuff is really simple, and so far it doesn't seem to be wrong... Imagine 2 tennis balls floating in space, each spinning in some direction at some speed. The quantum amplitude is the extent to which t

> Intelligence agencies have hard problems to deal with. On top of it, they are giant bureaucracies which means cockups, incompetence, turf wars, hiding issues are the norm. All that amplifies the problems, causes defensiveness, over-rea

The article is interesting and raises a good point, but I don't think it really solves anything. With the right perspective on (understanding of) your mental processes, deep, useful, questions like this cease to exist. They are solved.

I think Facebook's main benefit from this is that they will now have users clicking a button essentially to say, "yes, I believe this." Now they have a direct metric for what type of manipulation works for that user. Becau

To me, this is truth. Not in the sense that the author is right about everything they say -- that is impossible. Rather, it's like reading the results of a years-long research project, and realizing with happy surprise that the resul

Turn off autoplay in 10 seconds (Firefox): (1)Open a new tab to about:config (2)Type in autoplay (3) Double click the obvious one. Done.

Thanks for the grounding simile. Everyone gives something to take part in and benefit by society. Corporations form, and seem to refund to their members all that they gave and occasionally more. We do not measure the externalities well, o

Amen. Everyone: If you were using CrashPlan for simple p2p backups like this, use SyncThing now. It has versioning, it's open source, and it's secure. Made my day... I will enjoy donating to their project.

Indeed, I believe it really is that simple.

That looks like a pretty entertaining project. And as a nice bonus, they now have a solid heuristic for identifying when a transaction is happening, no matter which language or code-language is being used.

Well...this kind of thing is here to stay, and at least some good may come of it. We can all be reminded that even "true" words are still just words. An example from all of history: (This is only semi-serious, but felt like a goo

Sometimes it is necessary to have a strong example of what is wrong to be able to define what right is. Most people on this forum are the type that can learn without touching the hot skillet for themselves, but we still benefit from helping
