I understand that Smart Replies takes away a very personal part of a conversation, and might even lead to just a couple of AIs talking to each other, but if it reduces sarcasm it can't be all that bad!

Replace non-locality with infinite universes, which is more troubling? The article does touch on this question. Additionally, the article's aim was to demonstrate that the ESSW does not contradict pilot-wave theory, not to show that pi

Better title would have been, Oil's Economic Miracle. A follow-up written today would then be titled, Miracle to Curse: How The Oil Crash Crashed Venezuela.

They sure dropped the neutrality when Nate Silver got mad at Jim Rutenberg for saying Silver missed the mark on his predictions. He definitely returned the high school lunchroom attitude back, and doesn't handle being wrong well at all

Actually, in that sense you are a psychopath, since you are in good relations with most of your ex-girlfriends. Also, how is not keeping an ex in your life a sign that you're overly emotional and can't get over a breakup? Keeping

I don't see why you got downvoted. I 100% agree with you. It was simply not necessary. If you go around the web, even to large, reputable news sites, it seems more and more people are opting to not think about language and use whatever

This seems like something that should be fined heavily by the FDA. Definitely does not seem sanitary in the least.

Civ 5 and Beyond Earth both have tablet modes. They work very well.

I have to admit I'm not a fan of the graphics. I had high hopes for Beyond Earth but haven't played more than 100 hours of it, as opposed to 1500+ with Civ 5. I hope Civ 6 doesn't disappoint like Beyond Earth did.

Well, technically speaking Stellaris is post-cold war, by about 150 years. :P

I would love it if Paradox did a Crusader Kings/Europa Universalis/Victoria/Hearts of Iron set in the modern era.

The irony with that is Rush never really endorsed Trump during the primaries. It was very uncomfortable for him, he at times refused to even talk about Trump.

You can choose political beliefs if you are aware of alternative political beliefs existing. If you live, work, and learn in an environment that is actively excluding political beliefs, so that only one political belief exists in your envir

This has seemed a little suspect to me since it started making the rounds earlier this week. Does the set point not work in reverse? What I mean is, the article states "starts at 300 lbs", but no one starts at 300 lbs, people get

No, it is destroying the idea of forgiveness. The article gives the example of how data mining could be used to target individuals who an algorithm predicts could be likely criminals. This paves the way for discrimination and removes the pr

I believe now that labelling free trade as right-wing was a ruse all along used by the GOP to sell free trade to their voters. I see the rise of Trump as a sign that voters see through the ruse. There has been bipartisan support on Capitol

You would fire a long-time cartoonist because one cartoon wasn't funny, subtle, or provocative? You have extremely strict standards!

I'm not so sure this applies to most of the people. Trump is a very polarizing figure. There are segments of the population for whom what Trump says feels safe and good. At the same time, there are segments who feel outrage and disgust

I had actually read about it last year. In the study, they used continuous glucose monitoring rather than glucose meter to track the blood sugar response to different foods precisely. They found that different people had different blood glu

Having a lot of muscle will increase your base metabolic rate. Being a serious powerlifter, I imagine the increase due to muscle was significant (speaking just as someone who reads into this, not as a qualified professional!). Also, being a

Buying a blood glucose meter is not an expensive investment (provided you don't really need it, ie. don't have diabetes) and it will pay dividends in terms of health. With a meter and about 200 strips and lancets, you can determ

Agree with this. The resolution the author reveals at the end, that simply playing with the cat more reduced anxiety behavior, almost makes me think that it wasn't that the cat was anxious, just that the cat was under stimulated and ac

This is why I can't see anyone eating 4000 calories of fat without feeling so full they'll throw most of it back up.
