If I can log onto your system as you, I can destroy everything of value to you accessible from that system. "Vulnerable through software" doesn't enter into it. Every OS has a list of unpatched privilege escalation exploits, so I can also destroy everything else on that system.
No one has done anything for the LOLs, or even the lols, for 10+ years. You do it for the keks these days. Do try to keep up with the kids on your lawn.
We are quite close. Just ignore the Tesla hype and look to serious companies that will make their big marketing splash after they have working product. Volvo plans self-driving cars (of the sort the pull over safely when something's wrong) by 2020. Be interesting to see if they make it, but they're gathering test mileage already.
For all your skepticism, Volvo has hundreds of cars like this on the road, accumulating test mileage. They plan to launch for the public in 2020. Their cars very much will pull over safely if something seems wrong, or they won't sell them.
Tesla has glorified cruise control. They're just now selling cars with the right sensors to be self-driving, with the software to follow Real Soon Now(tm), probably after Volvo IMO.
Doctors have social status because they make vast sums. Remove the money, remove the status. This is why software developer can be a higher-status job in India than doctor or lawyer.
So what happens if not enough people want to be doctors? Wait times grow arbitrarily. (This is also a problem in the US for some specialties, but it illustrates my point).
You need a system for rationing the available care-providing resources. You need a system for deciding how much to fund care and research. A market-based system couples these, giving an optimal answer. The current US system is the worst of both worlds, because health insurance is procured by companies, not by consumers. No market signal, and some people aren't covered. The only worse idea is the O-care exchanges.
Well, you have that backwards, Models are to opposite of measurements. Multiple models let you make correct predictions by random chance, and thus decrease confidence. Multiple measurements go the other way, and are less likely to concur by chance.
Sure, the models agree with each other on a lot of stuff, but that means only that they aren't independent models - but of course they aren't, that's not at all how science works.
Sure, but it's not "buy stuff from Amazon from a catalog, is my point. The catalog itself it the thing (with the logistics infrastructure behind it, otherwise it's just fiction).
But Amazon has clearly been trying to move into actual stores for a while now, with a variety of ideas that haven't gone anywhere. That kinda makes sense to me, as they could compete well on price given their back-end, and customer service, given their culture.
If Amazon can use its logistics network to cut Whole Foods prices to something close to QFC, they can keep the checkers. Of course, if Amazon's idea of "automated checkout" ever really works, I doubt people will have a problem with it.
The environmental damage due to farming is proportional to the amount of food grown. Modern farming just concentrates that. Better than cutting down all the forests to get enough farmland IMO.
Given no prior knowledge, 2 sigmas is roughly 95% confidence that the observation is not a false positive.
Give 20 independent models that are totally random in their predictions, one is expected to get 2 sigmas of accuracy. There are hundreds of models (but, they are not independent, so it probably isn't noise).
We can't estimate the costs well either way, is the problem. These models just don't have the predictive power (yet) to say "if we change X, it will save us $Y", so we can't do a cost-benefit analysis.
But, as you say, it's academic anyway. The inevitable march of technology will obsolete fossil fuels before very much longer.
Amazon business model is a mail order catalog but on Internet.
Maybe for the first 5 years. Today, Amazon's business model is "excel at logistics", and charge a subscription to provide access to that network, for both buyer and seller. They don't need to sell you stuff any more - they're happy if you pay for Prime and only buy from 3rd parties.
Whole Foods is the customer in this story: customer of that logistics network. I'm hoping that we'll also see Whole Foods delivery added to or replacing Amazon Fresh, but that's not really the point IMO. Cutting Whole Foods' backend cost I think is the point.
But, yeah, it won't be so disruptive, because WalMart is also amazing at logistics, and sells groceries. So this isn't breaking new ground in the world.
The usual plan is to buy a brand with a good reputation, and start selling cheap-as-possible crap instead of what the brand used to sell, milking the reputation and customer inertia for years. Good money to be made, for those with no soul. But you don't announce you're doing that! So I can't even guess what Amazon is thinking here.
Currently climate models are giving us about 2 sigmas of certainty (and there are so many models that you'd get that by accident, if they were independent). It's a great place to start: good progress for a very young field.
But before we make decisions involving $trillions, maybe higher confidence is called for, even if it is a bit pricey.
The level of indirection for the observation of the Higgs Boson was quite a bit more... indirect than the evidence for the electron. The level of statistical certainty they waited for before any announcement was completely correct, given that fact. When it's all statistics, you want really good statistical evidence.
Bullshit. Humans only have 2 methods of conflict resolution: discussion, and violence. Pick one.
If you're afraid your ideas will lose in the marketplace of ideas, come up with better arguments! If you think you're the only one smart enough to see the truth, while those peasants are just so dumb they can't see why their ideas are wrong, stop being an arrogant prick!

60C (140F) for 8 hours is massive overkill.
Massive overkill is exactly the right amount of overkill for bedbugs.

Very Zen man, very Zen.

"Proven"? Rumored. Like every other case of "unintended acceleration" in automotive history, it was driver error.

If you imagine that multiple models can ever improve confidence, I'd suggest starting over on stats.

Conscription was never an element.

olitical, according to standard dictionary definitions has something to do with government.
So nice to know the workplace is entirely politics free, then. That's a relief. But maybe you meant to say "power". And mobs also have power.

All controversial speech is political, because of human nature: we try to suppress what annoys, disgusts, or offends us.

"Hate Speech" doesn't exist.
It's all Free Speech.
Wrong way of looking at it.
"Hate speech" is the important subset of free speech. You don't need a constitution to protect inoffensive speech.
You would hate me when I go to Whole Foods.
On, no, you're just right. You see, you're local color. All part of the theme park shopping experience.
