You aren't even talking about the same type of "efficiency" while also talking about technologies that are not likely to be practical until 20 years after cold fusion.
No, they were "socialists". They promised to overthrow the powerful elites that were stealing all the money and power from the little guy to bring about a socialist utopia. Obviously they were full of shit. Which is pretty much exactly how I see most of the "socialists", "progressives", "left", "liberals" or whatever they're labeling themselves now that use pretty much the same rhetoric and tactics. Remember the "final solution" wasn't the first thing attempted; it was the atrocity that happened after all their previous attempts failed because they had no basis in reality.
Abstractly speaking a "benevolent dictator" is probably the most efficient form of government. Likewise it is also the least reliable and least stable.
Much like the most efficient way to gain wealth is winning the lottery. It will certainly grant someone wealth but you would never recommend your children plan their future based on the assumption of winning the lottery.
In continuing the VR trend of "just spend more money" you can actually get prescription insets for the Vive. The Vive also has enough room for normal glasses but is less comfortable that way.
I think it has to be treated as differently as it is from normal gaming. Because you are up, moving around and have something strapped to your face you're probably going to want to take a break after an hour or two (as opposed to playing Fallout for 10 hours straight). The much smaller install base makes these giant scale AAA games less feasible as well. (Fallout VR is still my most played VR title though.)
I went through both Apollo 11 VR and Titanic VR and thought they were spectacular. I want more things like these. Racing games (and I imagine flight sims) are also amazing in the current VR.
Cars and boats seem to have become pretty popular despite some people suffering motion sickness from them.
There are many people that do not get motion sickness from the current VR headsets (I am one of them). I predict that those numbers will rise as children are introduced to it at a younger age and their brains learn to adjust. That won't work for everyone of course. The same people that suffer from car sickness now will probably always suffer from VR motion sickness as well. But there are people that get motion sickness from movies and normal videogames so I'm not too worried about it.
There are some genetic conditions that lead to massive muscle growth. Even as children they are shredded. Sounds great in theory but I don't think I want to live in a world where every idiot is as strong as a gorilla even if I also am.
It's dangerous if done for any extended period of time. The body needs a certain amount of power to run and without that it will start to break down or damage itself. The brain takes huge amounts of power on its own and I wouldn't recommend starving it. Sure fat stores are used to make up some of the difference but it is much harder for the body to burn fat for energy than food. You'll probably just feel like shit and be too lazy and exercise and too groggy to think straight.
I didn't appeal to anything. Said I would "trust" his word over yours because I trust that he would have done his diligence when saying it hasn't been proven impossible. Lack of observable phenomena is not the same as proof. How long did it take to observe the curvature of space-time?
Time-travel is highly unlikely based on what we know but that is not the same as proven impossible.
The term "a lot" is comparative. If the average man is stronger than the average woman then there are a lot of men stronger than the average woman. If the converse is also true the statement has no meaning at all and is being purposefully misleading. The term "a lot" is being used as a weasel word in this case (how many is 'a lot'? 5? 20?).
Lol, that's right people. Don't trust your lying eyes and your lying brain. AmiMojo knows you are wrong.
The outrage about the Last Jedi was not people not liking it- every popular big budget movie has people telling us why it sucked. It was blaming people for not liking it. Like it was somehow my fault it was a terrible movie. Because I was tricked by those horrible Russian twitter bots that I've never seen.
No one has ever complained about bad writing before Russians learned to use bots.
I am extremely curious how you track ideas back to "Russian bots" in the first place. Although I have a hunch it mostly involves pulling bullshit out of your ass.
The last Jedi was a bad movie. Russians didn't make it a bad movie. Bad writing and execution made it a bad movie. Morons turning its piss-poor reviews into a social issue is just sad. But hey, if you want to pretend you are fighting for progress by defending the interests of a giant, unethical corporation be my guest.
An excellent generic remark you could post about anything you want. If I were writing bots, the first thing I would do is collect a library of remarks like this.
You can't raise everyone in your country into the lap of energy-wasting luxury and cut emissions. The two are intrinsically linked. China can have a better emissions rate per capita because so many of their people live under conditions Americans would consider oppression.

That soot does not come off as easy as you think. If a little rain washed everything off why are there so many window washers around?
Your nose does not exist on the internet.

Glad to see the 2016 election strategy is still the go-to.

Honest question: do you, AmiMojo, think you follow these more or less than the average slashdot poster?

That's kind of like saying humans haven't changed in 65 million years because that's when the first primate popped up.
Think I'm going to trust Hawking's word on this over yours.
Will you accept it if smarter people tell you any "solution" to the problem is worse than the problem itself?

If the converse is also true the statement has no meaning at all and is being purposefully misleading. The term "a lot" is being used as a weasel word in this case (how many is 'a lot'? 5? 20?).
However there are a LOT of women who are stronger then the average men, They are also a lot of Men who are weaker then then the Average Women.
I don't think you understand how averages work.
Do you like la-la land by choice or is this a cry for help? Do you really think being obviously dishonest will convince anyone of anything?
Lol, that's right people. Don't trust your lying eyes and your lying brain. AmiMojo knows you are wrong.

I take it your definition of "alt-right" just means "anyone who disagrees with my clear superiority"?

The issues I have with that era of early 3D is not so much the graphics. It is the early 3D controls. Very painful.
