On the other hand you simply can read if a illness you suffer from has a an acupuncture treatment and try it. For that you do not need any outside party to make a study first... And it would cost next to nothing, compared with modern medicine costs for pills.
Yeah... If we exclude personal health... time... followed by exclusion of money paid to all those "genuine" hacks willing to stick needles in you for money cause "it can't hurt... and it costs nothing to try... for certain values of nothing". And if it doesn't help... well... you're probably holding it wrong. Or the Moon is in the wrong house of the chakra and your feng shui is off because of sunspots and shifting of magnetic poles.
OR... we can simply look at all the people whom it didn't help... which is everyone whose problem wasn't psychosomatic. In which case there's a far simpler and cheaper alternative. It fixes everything from bad eyesight, through parasites and bacteria - to aging. I'm currently running the reverse aging one like a motherfucker. Then I'm gonna do some wealth, telepathy, love... ah screw love... where's the one that will enlarge my penis? Hmm... here's one for a thinner nose... maybe that's some kinda code?
90% of the literature over the last 3000 years is unfortunately not english or available as translation.
Nearly 100% of literature on Atlantis over the last thousands of years isn't in English either. Same goes for various gods, angels, witches, wizards, jinns, devils, demons...
And why bother with thousands of years? Wouldn't a modern, scientifically proven, examples suffice? It's not like it's something that USED TO WORK but now the magnetic poles have shifted, ice caps have melted, we're on Mars... You know... like magic and dragons.
If you were actually interested in that topic you had informed yourself long ago.
I don't know... sound's a lot like that onus probandi thing, which is also originally not in English...
or how should the one poking you not know, kr know if he is really poking you? And how can you mot know if you get poked or not?
Easy. Leave the poking to the assistant who doesn't know jack shit about where he/she SHOULD poke - just how to stick the needle into a predesignated spot marked on a drawing. Compare results of "real acupuncture" to "randomly poking with needles" and "deliberately wrong acupuncture" - giving patients "cures" which would promote their illness. If it works - it'll show.
As for the subject not knowing... there are several ways. Subject could be just poked, without actually being stuck with a needle. Subject could be given a local or general anesthetic. Subject could be asleep. Subject could have severed nerves. Subject could have spinal injury. Subject could be in a coma. Subject could be given acupuncture without knowing which kind is it ("right", "wrong", "fake") - while being informed that the choice will be random. Same goes for subject being informed that the choice will be one of the three - while actually being given a random choice.

There's a story in it by Cixin, which is lifted from the Three Body Problem books (or which was adapted into the book... whichever came first). It involves building a computer with basically neolithic technology. See if you don't mind or don't find any of holes in its logic. Cause whatever is in that story, it's in the books as well (story itself is a part of the book... though with some changes).
Personally, first book can be almost forgiven its flaws (which at time range from groan inducing to "I wish a had a paper copy to throw it against the wall") cause a promise of a trilogy is there and it doesn't really need to make complete sense. Though, if you can't stand string theory bullshit... particularly BAD string theory bullshit... well... get a paperback version for that.
Second book... oh my... I wouldn't recommend it to people anywhere near a depressive spectrum. It's depressive as hell. The contents is depressive. Main characters are depressive. Faith of the mankind is depressive - in more ways than one. Then all that buildup fizzles out. Through actually even more depressive "resolution" - which actually resolves nothing.
Third book... I simply can't get myself to pick it up. First two were too disappointing and at moments too retarded.
Author has a very dark and distorted outlook of the world which, to borrow a koan is all about hanging between tigers all around, but without any strawberries anywhere.
Social networks are not about websites or tools you use for access - they are about PEOPLE you connect to.
So, yeah... sure... Every from teenagers through grandmas to everyone you know surely can't wait to jump onto that sweet ASCII thing like it's 1990s all over again.
NOT!
Slashdot OP is stupid, confusing people with software.
BTW, is there a criplecurrency called Butcoin? And I don't mean that fake one. My analsis (60 seconds of googling) can't seem to assertain if there is one.

First of all, Obama's campaign used Facebook data LEGALLY and with EXPLICIT APPROVAL of Facebook users. And they were so nice, they asked for it twice.
From TFA which you haven't read, cause you can only just copy/paste what other people feed you, sad creature that you are:
They started with a list that grew to a million people who had signed into the campaign Web site through Facebook. When people opted to do so, they were met with a prompt asking to grant the campaign permission to scan their Facebook friends lists, their photos and other personal information. In another prompt, the campaign asked for access to the usersâ(TM) Facebook news feeds, which 25 percent declined, St. Clair said.
Once permission was granted, the campaign had access to millions of names and faces they could match against their lists of persuadable voters, potential donors, unregistered voters and so on. "It would take us 5 to 10 seconds to get a friends list and match it against the voter list," St. Clair said. They found matches about 50 percent of the time, he said.
I.e. Obama campaign explicitly asked for permission, openly stating what the data will be used for - then took only names and photos and matched that data to existing voter lists.
But the campaignâ(TM)s ultimate goal was to deputize the closest Obama-supporting friends of voters who were wavering in their affections for the president.
Did you get that numbnuts? They were looking for known Obama voters who may have for any reason decided not to vote in 2012. It was a RE-ELECTION campaign! Get it?! They were digging through data the voters already gave them back in 2008! They were digging through public records looking for who's missing this time around!
Let's compare that to Cambridge Analytica scum...
When the Psychometrics Centre declined to work with the firm, Mr. Wylie found someone who would: Dr. Kogan, who was then a psychology professor at the university and knew of the techniques. Dr. Kogan built his own app and in June 2014 began harvesting data for Cambridge Analytica. The business covered the costs â" more than $800,000 â" and allowed him to keep a copy for his own research, according to company emails and financial records.
All he divulged to Facebook, and to users in fine print, was that he was collecting information for academic purposes, the social network said. It did not verify his claim. Dr. Kogan declined to provide details of what happened, citing nondisclosure agreements with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, though he maintained that his program was âoea very standard vanilla Facebook app.â
He ultimately provided over 50 million raw profiles to the firm, Mr. Wylie said, a number confirmed by a company email and a former colleague. Of those, roughly 30 million â" a number previously reported by The Intercept â" contained enough information, including places of residence, that the company could match users to other records and build psychographic profiles. Only about 270,000 users â" those who participated in the survey â" had consented to having their data harvested.
I.e. Data was gathered without permission. Data was gathered under false pretenses. Data was far more extensive than just names and photos. There was no prior relationship between the people whose data was mined and built into psychographic profiles - and the campaign. These weren't old Trump voters - Cambridge Analytica was pushing scare ads to DISSUADE voters from voting. I.e. VOTERSUPPRESSION!
Were any laws broken? If it's illegal to hire non-citizens to do campaign research, how does the Hillary campaign paying Christopher Steele get a pass?
A good example is how we are learning that the best way to secure honest elections is to abandon technology for something much older (paper ballots, counted manually with lots of people watching).
That's not abandoning technology. No more than choosing cooking with an oven instead of by pouring gasoline over food, lighting it on fire and declaring "Dinner's ready! Eat up while it's hot!"
Democracy requires human participation - not human automation. Even when it comes to security and certainty of the vote. And neither should be sacrificed because of modernity, speed, cost or whatever.
As for "perfect tech made by perfectly moral people"... Please... Technology is just another word for TOOL. Tools don't have morality. Nor can morality be applied to them. A shovel is a shovel is a shovel whether you use it to plant a tree or dig a mass grave.
And Plato was an idiot with limited understanding of the world (and that's being generous) but with a HUGE ego to think that he's gonna settle all the questions for everyone else. Just like any other navel-gazing philosopher out there, usually either too lazy, too drunk, too horny or all of the above to make that final leap and start a religion with themselves as either a god or prophet. That's disregarding all those philosophers too lazy and too intellectually stunted to reach any conclusion other than "Because god".
There's already a perfectly moral race of beings. Same as there ever was. They're called humans. The only race on the planet with ACTUAL morals and moral hangups. Just ask grizzly bears. Or lions. Or even rabbits. See how they do on the moral scale.
Which is what this article by Lora Kolodny is. She really, REALLY, REALLY has an issue with Tesla.
And again... she puts doom&gloom in the title...
Tesla employees say automaker is churning out a high volume of flawed parts requiring costly rework
Tesla employees say the company is manufacturing a high ratio of flawed parts and vehicles that need rework and repairs.
The electrical vehicle maker has had to ship some flawed parts to remanufacturing facilities to avoid scrapping them, rather than fixing them in-line, according to sources; Tesla denies this.
Then she digs through "at least one Tesla employee profile on LinkedIn" to try to "prove" a much greater level of part rework - cause an employee listed working in a team of 130 instead of 40 on a CV. But the best part is where she quotes experts.
Like this part at the end of the second paragraph...
Lean manufacturing specialist Matt Girvan, founder of MAG Consulting, said: "Even during what is considered 'launch' mode, if a company is selling its cars to customers, it should not be experiencing large amounts of rework. This speaks to an internal quality issue that is on a magnitude that is not normal for most car manufacturers."
Then... after much more text and a "sad" photo of Musk (Why not a meme, Lora?), more text (including that LinkedIn part) - here's that same expert again, near the end of the article:
He said, "Problems are unavoidable in any factory. 'Rework' does happen... These listings speak to what is probably a large amount of product that has either not been built to specification or that has been built to an incorrect specification where the error wasn't found until later."
In autos, there is a widespread philosophy of "right the first time," Girvan added. Usually, automakers spend a lot of time on planning and prototypes before going into full production. One reason for a cautious approach is that too much scrap, and a high portion of parts that need rework, can eat into the already-challenging profit margins of auto assembly.
Also... Buried between Tesla's responses:
At least, Girvan said, "It's better to catch a defect in the factory and fix it -- far better than something occurring in the field involving a customer's vehicle."
Hmm... Put that way, all that "rework" (note the quote-marks in reply by Girvan) sounds a lot like quality control. Instead of... you know... "backlog of flawed parts and vehicles", "flawed or damaged parts", "defect rate is so high", "surprisingly high ratio of flawed parts and vehicles"...
I don't know what it is about Kolodny and Tesla... but she really has it in for that company.
But the issue is that when I go to sleep at night, I lose consciousness. When I awake, it's me again.
Or is it?
"I" don't have to survive that. Whoever I am tomorrow will think they're the same person that I am now because they will remember all my experiences (including this one), so there's no reason for the consciousness residing in my brain tomorrow to be the same as today. We literally have no way of knowing how that works.
That's why I've installed a large neodymium magnet inside my toilet. It catches the serially numbered ball bearings I drink with my vitamins every night before going to sleep. All the balls are accounted for. Though some were collected out of sequence.
Planing a trip anywhere is a bit of a bother though. Packing the magnet and all...
Of course, this means you have to guess what kind of thing will be valuable enough 100 or 1000 years from now for someone to extract your consciousness.
Just make sure you have enough lawyers for them to keep arguing that you're technically not dead. They'll also have to chase down all those profits from your art floating around for all those centuries. I suggest making something simple, like a children's book.
The significance of that depends on how quiet they've gotten it.
It ain't the noise. It's the debris, including parts of neighborhood pets and various other critters, being flung around with each takeoff.
But that's not why you should forget it. You should forget it cause there is no way in the world for an "autonomous flying taxi" to know if its passengers are carrying flammable liquids and explosives in their bags, waiting for the "autonomous flying taxi" to fly over a large gathering of people or a building of some significance.
Even 9/11 hijackers had to go to a flight school - and still they were completely ignored despite active disinterest in learning how to land a plane.
Otherwise I think you're going to need to either do a computer generated average image
A computer generated image based on a global model which would include all most recent census data from all over the globe would work great for that. Particularly if the whole process was automated, updating itself on its own as new data arrives.
And as for anyone feeling underrepresented by such an image, you can legitimately tell them to go and reproduce themselves. Reproduce themselves billions of times.
