The counterargument would be to pit healthy 20-somethings against other healthy 20-somethings with vastly different amounts of accumulated knowledge. Does a young rabbi who can recite the whole Torah verbatim have less fluid intelligence than someone who never read a book? Do trained London cabbies with immense knowledge about routes (and who have objectively larger brain structures after they commit all this rote memorization) have less fluid intelligence than their age-peers? The "old people just know more" argument won't hold up if people the same age with verifiably different knowledge stores don't show differences in fluid tasks.
1. Korean War is the longest cease-fire in world history. It is still ongoing. Neither side won. Neither side lost.
2. The Iraq Wars, whether considered the same war or different wars, were handily won by the USA. I don't recall our leader being hung in the end. Theirs was.
3. Afghanistan was a loss? Now you're just trolling.
I'm 37 and robots still can't perform the simple things I wanted them to do when I was 4
A robotic arm that can attach to drywall and is light enough to not need drywall anchors or drill into a stud. It is mounted above and/or behind the door. With the push of a remote, it opens/closes the door. I shouldn't have to replace the whole damn door. The robotic arm should adapt to a traditional door.
Robot, find my keys. No, the keys do not have an RFID tag. I know you don't know where they are right now. Systematically search for them without trampling pets or trashing my shit.
Shave me. Don't poke new holes in my face. No, I didn't need to shave when I was 4. Was just thinking about the future.
Scan every girl in the club. Breakdown the odds each girl could get pregnant tonight. Weed out those menstruating. OK, yeah, I definitely did not think about that when I was in 4. The tricorder fantasies came later.
There hasn't been a single case of toxoplasmosis in humans where they couldn't rule out the vector was tainted pork. Granted, cats do help spread it from pig to pig.
The title is awful and misleading. It should read How Big Data Is Changing The US Healthcare System. The denial of coverage criticism is made moot by the Affordable Care Act and addressing it was a major impetus for the law being created in the first place.
Can we just call them $^@&ing planets and moons and not resort to EXOPLANETS and EXOMOONS?! Seriously? If we find a gas giant with large spherical rocks revolving around them, yet be within its atmosphere, we can call those f--kers ENDOMOONS. You didn't call the humongous bright thing an EXOSUN or EXOSTAR, so let's have some consistency here.
What next? "A long, long EXOTIME ago on an EXOPLANET far, far away"
Misleading Title. Should be: What's Lost When a Conference Goes Virtual. Nothing of value is lost during a meeting because meetings are near worthless!
Should say "real hardcore nerds who coincidentally also have access to tons of capital." Not many are so lucky. It doesn't strip them of hardcore nerd status.
States and the education institutions that lobby them still want their cut from license fees and paid supervision hours. If you start providing therapy across state lines where the endpoints don't provide license reciprocity, you'd best hire a lawyer first.
... collect the iris and fingerprint records on a voluntary basis of every one of India's 1.2 billion men, women and children.
It's voluntary yet records every one of 1.2B people? Either India is the most sheep-like country ever (unlikely), or this system isn't really voluntary. Is this like voluntary income tax in USA?
The project would be a bold deployment for Australia, but for the second-most populous country in the world...
Humans vs. Robots is moot right now. As long as we are sending baryons, we still have a long way to go in advancing propulsion. We suck at accelerating matter. Learn how to do that well, first. It took us 40 years to get ONE OBJECT out of our own solar system.
I don't know about flies, but some insects, like roaches, have air current sensors near their back legs. If they feel an air current rushing towards them, a signal is sent to their legs to start running forward. This detect/react cycle bypasses the longer trek to the brain and then back down to the legs. With flies and mosquitoes, if you slowly creep up on them with a hand, swatter, tissue box, shoe, etc., and THEN quickly strike, your kill chances are greater. The time difference between them detecting an air current and being smooshed is a lot less. You'd think they'd detect/react to a HUGE object gaining proximity and blocking more light, but nope, they don't.
A fly-swatter is a double-whammy for a fly. The holes means less air resistance, so we can swing faster. Holes also mean less air current rushed at the fly, so they are less likely to detect/react to it. You can also "snap" your wrist so the swatter travels over a wide arc. Not only will you get a fulcrum effect for faster speed, but less of the air current is directed at the fly, so they don't react as well.
More likely "saving the lives of The President, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Legislators." Or what the GP is worried about, "culling the infected." Why would they bother redacting "Defense"?
'Professionals who are paid entirely to teach, in fact, make for better teachers. Makes sense, right?'
No. No it does not. The researchers are much more heavily incentivized to win grant money for the school than to teach, which is entirely secondary. Pure teachers merely aren't distracted by all this research, so they stand out by contrast.
The solution is to have all non-graduate classes taught by pure teachers, but occasionally invite the research professor as a guest lecturer on something he's passionate about.
The problem is corruption. If your tissues highly match a party leader or his child, he might bribe a judge to make sure you are found guilty or sentenced up to execution. Truth be damned.
If your BIGGEST headache is your fans, you're obviously not prioritizing correctly. Bigger headaches should be funding, staffing (hiring and retention), negotiating with publishers/distributors, quality, testing, advertising, and treating your labor with respect while still eeking out a profit. If you're paying attention to non-constructive whiners, you're doing it wrong. I felt the last season of The Guild was entirely unnecessary, but if this problem is as prevalent as this article makes it out to be, I'm now hoping that season was a therapeutic wake-up call.
It's a silly conversation. Let's say we all concede all web apps are forever doomed to be second-class citizens. As far as second-class citizens go, they have it freaking awesome! People don't just want them, they clamor for them! They are lauded and keep getting better and better. Even when you do use a native application for better performance or to fulfill a niche need, you can't help but wonder in the back of your mind how soon before you can do this with a web app, too.

Unfortunately, it's also highly feasible as a terrorist target. How are you going to patrol the entire span of the cable for kamikazes?
"When you hear a friend's voice, you immediately picture her ..."
Nope. I do not. I might visualize an abstract, inky blob, but I most certainly do not picture the person.
