Unless this is a deep, deep chamber the possibility of it collapsing when pressurized precludes just plugging up holes and using it. All it's good for is radiation shielding.
History is full of self-perpetuating, self-funded witch trials of one kind or another. Funds stolen from $group_to_be_persecuted are split between people in power and those doing the persecuting. The general population is told do dehumanize and fear $group_to_be_persecuted to allow it to continue.
Forfeiture of all of one's earthly possessions is a common punishment for being suspected of a drug-related crime. It reminds me of similarforfeituresrequired in the past.
you're right but I'm not sure this is the right way to deal with it.
Imagine: you're a 12 year old asshole with parents that don't properly care for you and you're presented with the following choice
A) Admit your accusations were lies and everyone is pissed off at you and your parents punish you and you get expelled. B) keep lying your lie and you get sympathy, "free" days off school, everyone makes a big deal of you, you get 15 minutes of fame, and your hated teacher goes away.
Even if an AI controlled car will cause far fewer accidents the people killed by them will have names but the people saved will not. This will result in the technology being held back 30 years.
The important thing is that money generation and nonprofit don't go hand-in-hand. I would be delighted to hear that it helped the linux foundation enough to be worth the cost. "self sustaining" shouldn't have to be part of that.
Can we PLEASE stop putting Iran down with every other comment and harping on stuxnet? It's unoriginal and uninformative. Come up with something useful to say. you're better than this.
What's being wasted? Is it our time? no, we have more time to do what we like. Is it our effort? No, we can do more with less effort. Is it our money? No, our standard of living has risen significantly.
What's being wasted? Should we all go back to eating grubs from under rocks and wearing fresh animal skins, sacrificing 3/4 of our population to do so? Is it a waste that an excellent craftsman can make $200 per hour? Is it a waste that the unskilled can't make much money? What if the same degree of skill would have resulted in her starving to death 300 years ago?
Or are you just complaining because it's somehow unnatural or inauthentic to not have to work one's ass off? Would you prefer to not have the choice between a dinner that takes 30 seconds and one that takes an hour? would you rather be forced to pay $100 for every shirt? would you take that choice from others?
what really pisses me off is the obscenity thing. Obscenity is a test for whether a law can be made to control the speech not whether it should be de facto illegal yet judges have been using it as an excuse to punish people without a law in place.
It's like a judge saying "There's no law saying the state can't make red cars illegal so you're going to jail for having a red car."
The implications go far beyond that when "software" can include anything the robot has experienced. Imagine a network of cars that learn the most effective ways to avoid accidents from each-other by statistical analysis.
First, How can you use a bayesian model to average results into a precise number? Second, Why are you bothering to do this from theories on top of inelegant theories? Third, if the universe actually is that size What does that mean for the heat death of the universe?
God forbid. Cutting off communications in an area would also be the perfect way to quell descent or to turn an organized protest into a discrediting (for the protesters) riot. And/or disappear people whilst stopping them from telling others they're being arrested.
All it would take is a day's prep, an extra chip and 10 minutes of work to make it only blow up if, say, the message contains 5 a's. Tie the text out to something to check for the right 1's and 0's. This was shoddy workmanship.
Some Google employee will end up "accidentally" releasing a key that releases every Google book within 4 years.
Shockingly enough comprehensive documentation about how to use it on various devices will also surface. This documentation will be of such quality that it had to have taken real work by a professional publishing staff to make it happen.
The MindStorm brick is very hackable and comes with an ARM7 processor. I agree there would be a market for after-market addons for more advanced robotics.
Correction: the financial human right they disagree with is "people have the right to make a profit off of the financial loss of other, to the point of causing significant suffering/death."
That doesn't make sense. What is "significant suffering"? If I operate a small business and I take money from a poor person in return for heating oil thereby depriving him of the food he could have bought that can be said to cause suffering. As the same small business if I choose to buy gas from $BigEvilGasCo I'm still operating within my rights.
The analogy is $BigWheatCo taking money from $SmallAfricanGrocery in return for food, thereby "impoverishing" that country. Or $BigPharmaCo choosing to spend money on advertising rather than giving it away. It is disingenuous to support the right of small companies to make money while denying the right of large companies to do the same.

It would have to cost 1 dollar per watt over the entire life of the device including manufacture, installation, and disposal.

Which would you do?
I think we can all imagine a 9 year old little shit banging his toy against a wall just to hear it say "ow"

God save us from the shortsighted.
GP's point is it's entirely possible that she WASN'T posting to facebook while driving.
The Carnivore is dead and an even deadlier creature has arisen.
I wonder how much it costs to start rumors like that whilst selling the stock short from another country.

Hah! you had it easy! in MY day we hunted sabretooths with rocks and sticks and we liked it!
wire fraud? seriously? These tack-on charges make a mockery of the law.
That's a primary goal for censors. If $dangerousinformation is not seen by most people they'll be more understanding when it's prosecuted.
