Specifically, the Catholic Church made that stance their official one over a decade ago.
They have been very involved in science from the beginning, they do not take that shit lightly and have a history of believing whatever the scientific consensus comes up with and steering their belief structures around that. In fact it was a Catholic Priest who came up with the theory of the Big Bang.
I have a feeling this only seems newsworthy because most folks here are more acquainted with American Catholicism
But how is that right? Isn't the whole point of Catholicism that that the church in Italy is in charge. Period. You don't go native and just teach whatever you want.
I wonder how many other benefits it brings?
Are the 64 bit registers and arithmetic used often, or would that have more of a scientific number crunching (corporate) application than anything else?
Or can they sometimes cram two 32 bit numbers in a register and process a 32-bit program twice as fast?
I assume that that 64-bit opens up a lot of extra room for processor commands. Do they use more commands making bitcode more succinct and faster?
And of course it would make them quicker to execute as more data can be crammed into a single word (The Word length would go up to match the number of bits, I assume. I think I remember working with 32 bit words in univ, so that makes sense)?
Posts like this are why we need a "+1 Stupid but funny" option. This comment is so ridiculously uninformed that modding it up makes no scene, but it is enjoyable simply for its stupidity.
Of course giving power to anyone who does not understand that power is immoral.The argument that "those people would of died anyway, it might as well be you who profits", would only appeal to a die-hard sociopath.
And I would go further. I studied AI in university a little, I quickly came to the (perhaps overly stereotypical) conclusion that creating a new species of life would necessarily be such a morally portentous event that it was not something that any non-sociopath would want to be involved in. Do you really even went to be the one to develop a species of intelligent being owned by corporation and forced to serve regardless of if the servitude is expressed though murdering or cleaning?
Is that not sort of the definition of strong intelligence?
If you understand it perfectly (which makes it perfectly predictable) it is just a dumb algorithm working on a data set. With a bunch of ifs and loops.
If you don't understand it, it is unpredictable, magical, and intelligent.
Why would it ever be even close to that high. Every decent system I have ever encountered raised some serious flags after 3-5 wrong guesses. If you flag an account after 10 wrong guesses, start requiring a CAPTCHA after the first one, and ban ip addresses when you detect massive multiple account attempts, you can offer security fool proof security, with, lets say, around 100 guesses.
10 million people getting laid off is not good for the economy. You have to have a pretty loose (The Purge style) understanding of Capitalism to think that getting rid of the poor makes the remainder richer.
Weight is key in space. This is why I have always maintained that paraplegic midgets are the way to go. Cut off their useless legs and they will be like 5 pounds, that is like 50 times lighter! And that weight and size difference translated to less food, less water, small equipment and living spaces.
And possibly more to the point, you can be sure they lost a lot more than that because they were involved in this suit.
To me, it seems like if they have proven their case, they need to be given enough to retire comfortably (because no one is going to hire them in the tech industry ever again). $5000 is like one weeks wages for tech workers in these companies.
Do those actually accomplish anything when the entity who signed teh agreement just when bankrupt and disappeared?
I cannot imagine there is anyway to enforce any agreement on an entity who is legally dead and without any remaining assets of any kind.
I'm glad to see this comment was posted, and so early too. While Jobs can be credited with the work others have done, Musk is the one that, IMO, has already done far more in terms of technological advancements.
They did? I sort of thought he just "invented" slightly tweaked things that already existed and respectively made the second most popular version of them, and then the most popular version of them.
At least with the computer you could say that he was the co-designer of the modern computer, designer because neither of them invented the idea just popularised and commercialised on the idea. But I am not sure that the Apple computer really had that much sway on the idea of what the PC is/was.
And while he was the leader in mp3 players and then smartphones, I am not sure that his designs were anything other that high-quality copies of what others had already done well before him.
If Jobs was a leader in anything it was of aesthetic design and branding. Musk is the new Jobs, but he seems to be doing a better job of actually leading the pack instead of just following.

Well if that is your attitude, obviously you are already a sociopath and the question is moot.

I would say that Elon Musk has been watching too much Babylon 5, but we all know that there is no such thing as too much Babylon 5.
So that he will be able to use this credit, even in the next 15 years?
Thinking positively about the future has loads of negative effects. For example, increased Anger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuDAfU3uj6o).

Gmail already has some category thing that turned off when it came out with it. So they are re-releasing this, with more fain-fair this time?

Because they want humans in space, not probes. Does not matter how good of a robot you build when they are only interested in sending humans.
The real reason we need female astronauts.

A better analogy would be locking up people for downloading movies/songs that look like they are copyrighted.
This PSA has been brought to you by the Vulcan Science Directorate.
So you would run on a platform of "change" and "transparency"?
You are not fooling anyone Obama.

How is that supposed to work when everyone in the world is trying to do the same thing?

Fixed that for you.

I ... recently came to the assistance of a young woman who was ... attacking [her boyfriend]
And you think participating in an assault makes you good FBI material, why?
