This explains why we can't find any evidence of their existence. The new ones we are creating will differ only in that they will be able to act in the real world.
This is kind of like whining that Fords isn't making spare parts for Chevy, and that somehow you're disadvantaged by that because you live closer to a Ford dealership.
Nah, it's more like whining that Chryslers should be able to burn the same 87 octane gas as Fords without having to buy overpriced filler necks on license from GM. Or that GE lightbulbs should be allowed to work on ConEd electricity. Standards exist for a reason. Letting monopolists enforce their own whims without accomodating the competition is bad for everyone in the long run. Ask JP Morgan what happened to Standard Oil in the courts.
We need another distributed system for counting words like we need another javascript framework for writing a Todo list app.
We need another bafflegab project description like a school of fish needs a robotic assembly line for bicycles. From the site:
Flink Overview
Apache Flink (incubating) is a platform for efficient, distributed, general-purpose data processing. It features powerful programming abstractions in Java and Scala, a high-performance runtime, and automatic program optimization. It has native support for iterations, incremental iterations, and programs consisting of large DAGs of operations.
If you quickly want to try out the system, please look at one of the available quickstarts. For a thorough introduction of the Flink API please refer to the Programming Guide.
Ok, this is/. so of course you didn't read tfa, but it does say it works on lactate, or CH3CH(OH)COO, but it isn't explicit about what it does with it. Have fun with the list of patents: http://www.mc10inc.com/patents...
IQC ('Quantum Valley'), at the University of Waterloo, and the Perimenter Institute in Waterloo, Canada, have 12 qubit computers...

To increase tenfold in 11 years, the Kryder rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... would have to jump from 15%/year to 23%/year. While this is not fundamentally impossible, in an era of diminishing revenue for magnetic storage I can't see it happening.
It would seem from http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/e... last week's coverage that Newlink had already violated the terms of their license. Seems like they sat on it as long as possible, then sublicensed to Merck. At this point though, who cares about the lousy $50M, they should just get on with producing the fricking stuff while testing in parallel.
No, it works by turning atoms into other atoms. What you do with the resulting heat and radiation is up to you. Whether you use it to drive a steam turbine, a Stirling engine or a thermocouple is up to you.
Well, an RTG works by containing atoms that are going to change themselves into other atoms. We call atoms with this property "radioactive". Still, you got the general idea.
Silly, everyone knows that the dietary fancy of C. elegans is E. coli strain OP50, so that should probably be "Do Caendroids Dream of Electric Germs?"

Thousands of dollars per school would mean a system just won't be provided to poor schools, a simply unconscionable form of economic discrimination. Fortunately there's a way better answer.
Put an app on many of those smart phones, enabled by the reverse 911 lockdown message. By the time the cops show up on scene, each such phone can have responded to report its GPS position and a half-second timestamped audio clip of the sound of (presumed) shots as heard through each classroom door. Centrally process those clips to determine the time offsets as the sound goes down the hall from one classroom to the next. You don't need to put any special hardware in the school, though having a floorplan on record would improve accuracy. Once the approach works, it can be rolled out for nearly no cost, practically overnight, everywhere that reverse 911 is in place.
I'm happy to release this idea into the public domain for anyone who'll code it as free (Libre and beer) software. Who wants to put together a quick little project?
This is like charging hookers with tax evasion for not filing. If prosecutors can't come up with a real charge then they need to be asking for a change in the law instead of this kind of bullshit.
Not all fishermen are hookers, many are found with fishnets. Besides, "honest judge, that fish was thiiiss big!!!"

Transpacific glider? I wanna see that!

In most jurisdictions wilfully spreading HIV leads to jail time. The principle is already established, we're just discussing what diseases apply.

So, what's that say it's for?
Nah, let 'em have the 72 virgins. I suggest grade-school-teaching Dominican nuns.
:D more chance of someone giving us free beer
In Soviet Russia, free beer is wodka!!!!

Bad actors have been using cell phones to trigger IEDs for a while now.

Doesn't nuclear power work by boiling water?

The main thing holding us back is internet porn.
Once our robotic overlords figure out how to enjoy that, we may be safe from extinction.
We already know how neural networks work and some are turning complete so they can do anything.
Autocorrect? Or perhaps not????
What's that in English?

Didn't Apple and Google both assure us that our data was safe in their clouds? That even they couldn't read it? What could possibly go wrong?
