I've noticed a lot of wholes in MOOC course topics. However, at least half the courses seem to be in the computer sciences. So it would be likely that would be the first dsicipline to have complete curriculum.
The newest entrants may have never experienced a down part of the cycle. Employer get picky about credentials then. A college degress is usually always a requirement.
MicroSoft outlook.com was down much of last Wednesday. Netflix fails periodically too.
Doesnt really matter what the causes are- power failure, hardware, software, or black-hacking. Uptime seems tobe the weekest part of these super clouds.
federal loans pay be paid off as a 10% income tax for no longer than 20 years. Either paid off early or canceled at the end of the term. A pertentage is not as burdensome as a fixed amount. Unfortunately this only applies to recent loans originated through federal programs. They need make it retroactive for all educational loans.
To bring broadband to every high school in the country, especially rural ones. Sort of like the 1930s rural electrification initiative. Neighboring communities and business could jpiggy back on the school broadband. I do not know how well this succeeded in the past four years.
There are multiple definitions of consciousness. I think we are talking about "medical consciousness" here to be aware of your sensations. Other definitons include introspection, the internal "feeling" of being aware, awareness of other beings that think, hyper-aware states/feelings... Some debate where these latter definitons are necessary for intelligence, especially for non-humans.
Each section of high speed rail is a very high quality track. Each section of a hyperloop is an encompassing tube, elevated at that. The tube vehicles however are much cheaper.
Both companies still create a lot of hardware and software, but dont make truck loads of money in those sectors any more. Startups are more nimble at exploiting new computing niches. IBMs main revenue is from services.
The human technology that is: space station, space planes, interplanetary space ships. The computer technology is a mixed bag however. Computers are far more pervasive and miniruized than Marvin Minsky & Clarke imagined. But the A.I.s never got as smart as HAL. David Stork published a nice summary of this back in 2001.
At some point the US and the world lost its "will" in developing space technology. In light of the world political-economic situation in the 1970s, the US could not sustain a 4% the GDP effort that it did in the 1960s. Even one percent is a pipe dream these days. However the dot-com billionaires private space companies and a focused China may still hold surprises. My nerd-idealism in the 1960s was bitterly disappointed at the actual 2001 year. But there is a glimmer of hope.
The best plants are convert 1.5% of incoming sunlight when factoring length of growing cycle and planting density. Cheap solar panels are five times more efficient. More expensive solar technologies and/or concentrators gets into double digits.
However when you include the costs of the entire system- the startup capital, intermediate fuel type and distribution- the current cost-efficiency of both become more comparable.
I think we open up a STEM college with only MOOC courses. Then grant STEM degrees after short while. Then these guys would automatically qualify for green cards under the new law. No limit or nasty restrictions like H1Bs.
There was a documentary a couple years ago about the 1970s seminal work done with Nim when he was just chimpling. Nim was discarded when (1) he became an unruly adolescent and (2) the principal investigator decided chimps werent really using language (contaversial). After several intermediate owners they tracked down Nim, now a gray-haired middle age. And seemed to recognize his human friends from the 1970s.
I persoanlly this it is not important to have humanoid machines or computer software. But who knows for sure. We wont be certain until someone tries the alternatives.
the guy copied code onto a memory stick and emailed himself such. doesnt really matter what the files are. grounds for firing and prosecution in many places. dont split hairs on how important the code was or wasnt
First, Einstein wrote a larger equation in his original 1905 paper including a momentum term.
Second, the derivation of the equation is as fascinating as the what the equation implies. It is derived computing energry with Lorentz contractions. Only high school algebra and physics needed - no calculus. But adding very deep physics intuition which eluded two centuries of previous mathematical physicists. The intution is that holding the universe to a speed limit says rest mass equals energy.
Its kept me from buying Penros's "Road to Reality" and Susskind's newest pop physics books. And I have a PhD in a physical science.
The exceptions seem to be books about mathematical philosophy or tricks.
I dont doubel check the crednetials of people I've known for decades, even though the Internet makes that easier. She probably got established before the Internet.

TESS will study 2.5 million stars, an order magnitude more than Kepler.
The gyros have been replaced on four of the Hubble servicing missions.

In some dreams try try to prove to myself I am conscious, then realize its a dream later.
I get the gist of the plays, but only about 95% of the words. The 5% are either no longer used or changed meaning substantially.
Seems to have been my actual rule :-)

Blackberry was the premiere phone product before the iPhone family. But there are signs Apple is stalling out now. Its a very competative market.

and for the most part they are ignorant and boring
