As you get old you will (most likely) become reliant on healthcare at some point. Sure you can keep all your risks low, but you are in a thousand 'risk groups' to get something or the other affliction. And all those little percentages start rising with age. One of those is going to get you. Rarely do people just fall over and die and if they do, chances are they could have prevented that by going to the doctor more often.
As long as this happens after your retirement age, we as a society don't care that much wether it happens at 65 or 90 years.
Well, it seems you at least got confused by it. Because they actually mean the black hole, without stuff floating around it, thus 'naked', not the singularity.
And if he feels so creative, he is free to use that huge pile of money to create something new of his own. Should bne enough for several movies, where he can show us all of his brilliant ideas.
The first cost is in paying a guy who knows how to set up and maintain a secure database that holds the information. That is not Sci-Fi...
The government would come into play in case of a breach. So far, companies seem to face no consequences for squandering their customers data in countless breaches, other than bad publicity. If this changes, companies actually have to pay up for the damage they cause, then cost of handling such data rises.
But that is exactly the point the article makes: Holding (sensible) data also comes with a cost. Securing the data has a cost and a risk attached to it.
If the cost of 'pinging' is lower than that, then the idea may hold true.
If.
And this of would require standards so that these data accesses can smoothly run in the background between all parties.
Obviously the ingame reality has to be setup so it matches the external borders. Sure, that puts restrictions on the game, but that is a problem for the makers to solve by getting creative, not the customer by running into walls.
I'd expect there to be significantly more outliers in the low region, as it is easy to permanentely lower a humans IQ: by accident, medical issue, drug use and so on. The opposite is not true however.
To still aquire 98 points on average as a country under these conditions, the amount of people with 100+ IQ should be more than 50% of the population.
They did not put any sanctions into this deal for breaking the agreed upon rules. So what will be the result of it? They are currently hyping it as a great breakthrough, but how is it going to enforce its goals?
Yes, but this trope is modelling the outside view, where earth is just one of many origins. Of course there are a million flavors of ale/coffee on earth, but ask a random alien on the other side of the galaxy, they only know the one kind that earth is famous for (because of best marketing?).
It's a trope based on real life. Just replace earth with *exotic country*.
Still the whole 'the majority of those who are successful programmers are mostly self taught'-idea is an artifact from when there was no formal programming education and all the programmers were electrical engineers.
Weeding out is done in any technical subject at the university level as far as I can tell. Still that never kept schools from teaching everyone the basics of maths, physics, chemistry and so on. And if you are on a good school and a certain subject is to your liking, you can delve deeper into it. I do not see why this subject needs to be treated differently.
If the judge is clearly siding with one party ahead of trial, shouldn't they be able to get him off this case on grounds of being biased? Or is this also not a thing in the funky US justice system?

That is a fallacy.

Shadowrun has taught me a different definition of the term 'smart gun'. You know, link up to my cyber-eyes, mind-triggered, auto-aim-adjust...
Where did this new definition come from? It does not seem nearly as cool.
By the way, you know Instagram was bought by Facebook 3 years ago, right?
And so was WhatsApp in 2014.
Makes the fact grandparent is modded +4 right now quite ironic.

They did not 'step in' with 4B. He sold it.
And if he feels so creative, he is free to use that huge pile of money to create something new of his own. Should bne enough for several movies, where he can show us all of his brilliant ideas.
If they want to invent a new universe, they can do that with another movie. No need to make a Star Wars movie then.

That would be because the information is hidden on a level, frequency, or timescale where our brains can not detect it.
Not a fair comparison.
But that is exactly the point the article makes:

Does that matter?
The pictures only have to be high enough res to reliably enable OCR, anything above that is irrelevant.
Hey, calendars are really hard.
I wish they would make a library for that, or something...
And an SD card is a security hazard how exactly?

Don't worry, they will find ways to fill up the free weight with more stuff.

I'd rather choose my train based on where it's headed.
Being on time at the wrong destination is kinda useless.

Did you even read the link you posted there?
It says right at the top: 'The "mini" connector has a diameter of 3.5 mm [...]'
Looking at my headphone's plug right now, this seems to be correct. The upper part of it (the part without the pinch) is exactly 3.5mm in width.
If the worst thing about drugs is that buying them helps criminals, I think the solution to that would be easy...
Here, over here! I am Impressed by this.
You know how it is soo difficult to find a good idea for your hobby programing project?
This guy has ideas man. I am so envious. He knows how to waste time for good.
