If google self-driving cars project succeeds (and it looks like it will), it will save dozens of thousands of life per year in the US alone. If google life extension project succeeds, it will be a game changer, better than just saving lives

What if he doesn't want to leave a 5-star review? He paid for the project, which included the source code. The source code needs to be delivered.

What does the number of women in science or business have to do with smartness? Most businesses are pretty stupid, if you think about it - buy cheap sell high, or produce something people need. As for science, it's mostly tedious resea

First of all, it's based on the current price of bitcoin. Second, if you have access to free electricity (e.g. solar), it is profitable at almost any price.

This one allows up to 384GB RAM: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/dx290 And it costs a fraction of EC2, which would cost you $2556 for 30.44 days. I could get 10 servers with 1 Gbit each, and it w

All that matters is the success rate. Watching videos of individual surgeons is pointless to pretty much everyone except surgeons. I'd love to have the stats on each doctor.

It would be nice to have a column for a 30.44 day cost (average month). EC2 is ridiculously expensive, considering the prices at Linode, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, OVH, LeaseWeb and 100tb.

I do like the idea, but the current level of funding is ridiculous. So I have three choices 1) Work on this opensource project and potentially make 0.077 bitcoins 2) Work on my projects / startup 3) Work for somebody else with guarante

First of all, it hasn't been solved in the US, and not for these speeds, which are at least double of the fastest bullet train in the world.

I never said it's impossible, I think it's a much bigger problem than building a machine to build the tunnel walls.

Building the structure is the least of the Hyperloop's problem. How about supporting near-vacuum on such a large scale? How about dealing with earthquakes, erosion, landshifts, where even a small shift in a section of a tunnel would me

That's the biggest WTF about the whole story. I understand leaks and breaches happen, but we've had two decades of them and learned a few things that make DB leaks pretty useless.

A few random ideas in no particular order 1) Paywall. Even if 1 out of 10,000 people agrees to pay, you will have 600 paying customers per month. 2) Sell analytics / data on what's trending. 3) Offer to make prints of the images.

Your opinion about the cited figure is much more dubious than the data we got from an independent research analyst who didn't care for the data.

I just tried it, and it works, they give you free bitcoins, but it's nearly impossible to withdraw them. They give you 0.005, but you have to bet the total of 1.5 to withdraw what you have. So basically you have to stay alive after 300

The algorithm uses non-deterministic Miller–Rabin primality test. It generates (probable) primes with very high degree of certainty, so practically it should never generate a non-prime. It uses the standard browser crypto.getRandomValues()

It really depends on the videocard I guess. I just tried both Crome and FF with a million particles, and they feel roughly the same.

You can increase the number of particles by changing this line: totalLines = 60000, My PC starts getting slower after 150K, but it works, though slowly, even with 1 million.

It's definitely a bug, most likely in the pre-prime generation (not enough entropy). If we're talking 1024-bit integers created by multiplying two 512-bit primes, the facts are: 1) The number of 512-bit primes is estimated around
