No, you indirectly observe what are supposed to be black holes, or better yet, you directly observe instrument readouts that you interpret as indicating the existence of black holes. If this paper is correct, perhaps a different interpretation is in order, and exciting science can be done.
It would certainly be funny, but it would also never happen, because the Singularity is the nerd version of the Rapture. Human consciousness is not hardware agnostic.
The disparagement is all in your mind. Ignorance is usually used disparagingly, but I didn't do so here. I simply used the word that was most appropriate to the situation: these people are ignorant of certain information about the world, and that informs their behavior. To stop that behavior, they should be educated, not invaded by soldiers.
Here is something that is meant disparagingly: stop projecting your insecurities and personal biases onto the world and try to--actually--consider the idea that not everyone is like you. If your use of empathy was genuine you would be able to do that, but instead you just seek to stir shit by going after anything that could be interpreted as "not empathetic enough".
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Considering the situation from the perspective of someone who is ignorant doesn't remove the ignorance from their point of view. In fact, it makes it more obvious. Their ignorance explains their behavior, and it also explains why this effort to stem the tide will probably be ineffective.
When the populace actively attack medical workers, violently disrupt quarantines, and engage in ebola spreading funerary customs? 3000 soldiers seems hardly enough to combat that level of ignorance of how disease transmission works.
Leaving aside that Asimov's laws of robotics are not sufficiently robust to deal with non-fictional situations, everything about this is way too simplified to draw conclusions from that could ever be relevant to other contexts. Robots are not human beings, nor are they harmed by falling into a hole. What happened here is a guy programmed a robot to stop other moving objects from completing a certain trajectory. Then, when a second moving object entered the picture, in 14 out of 33 trials his code was not up to the task of dealing with the situation. If he'd just been a little more flexible as a programmer (or not an academic trying to make a "point") there would have been no "hesitation" on the part of the robot. It would just do what it had been programmed to do.
If the consumer can call for some content to be provided faster, the beginning state has to be that all traffic is slowed down; you can't go faster than "fastest". If all traffic is slowed down, you're already violating net neutrality. In other words, this proposal assumes a state in which net neutrality advocates have already lost and gotten nothing.
If seasonal ice is increasing, it has to counterbalance sea level rise. Ice doesn't just appear from nowhere; it comes from sea water becoming solid. Its ultimate effect is lessened compared to perma-ice by exactly how seasonal it is (i.e., for how many months out of the year it is solid), but that doesn't mean there is no change.
People with doors that can be locked are often engaged in activities that are not, so-to-speak "legal". As a result we will no longer mortgage houses that have locks.
but then, many things are possible. What if one of these hypothesized aliens derives a higher reward from blasting signals into space than from any other method? What if it sees that as the ultimate fulfillment of its being? We don't know what their psychology is like, or even if they have a psychology. They're hypothetical aliens hypothetically doing something. We have no relevant facts to constrain our speculation.
In 1948. That's why his name became an adjective. I fail to understand why Sotomayor's opinions are news when they are not fundamentally different from high school book reports written all over the US.
In the sense that they had access to all relevant information, yes, the lights were on. In the sense that that information influenced their decision, the lights could have been off. The facts that predict future enrollment in intro to computer science are not necessarily the facts that weighed in the decision concerning admittance. Some of those facts probably were considered, others probably weren't.

No, that's not possible. Per definition a black hole cannot be observed. If it could, it would have to allow light to escape its event horizon.

Can you link me to anything about this airborne ebola? It sounds interesting.

Not to ebola, because of the type of virus it is. Not all viruses are created equal.
In my experience its a lack of love that's the most powerful antiviral. Can't get HIV from your hand.

So hackfrustrated, very hype, much wow

The more I see you post, the more I realize you've chosen your screen name extremely well.

Your mom is a visible light detector every time anyone looks at her.
Put differently, the moon is not being turned into a detector of anything, but "astronomers are building a telescope" is not a very catchy headline.
