I thought Dune was a wonderful story by read the rest of the series with an increasing sense of disappointment. I guess Herbert IS underappreciated. I don't appreciate him as much ad I could.
Certainly not anybody posting here. Maybe they wanted to make sure they got somebody in there before he could destroy any evidence. Maybe they thought he might flee in his own chopper. Maybe they just thought it would be more fun that way.
It's not the involvement of computers that is at issue. It's the use of computers in privileged positions to screw you out of few dollars on each transaction and in ways that destabilize markets. I don't trust a market trade order any more. The price can go up or down in the blink of an eye and you can end up selling for much less than the stock was worth an instant before your sale was executed and less than it is reported to be a milliseconds later. They're making every market they touch a sucker's game.
If the government decides it's not in the public interest they can stop it. At least they should tax it so as to extract the maximum revenue. E.g. 0.1% on every transaction, waived if you hold the instrument more than 10 minutes.
The first of which you really need. The essential element to a near-terahertz receiver is that it can downconvert 0.85 THz to a more easily processed frequency.
Their willingness to die for something they believed in it doesn't prove that they believed what you believe about what they believed in. A belief that God was going to give them eternal life in heaven (a view they shared with the Pharisees and with the guys who took down the Twin Towers) would be quite sufficient..
But there's no point in the research. The prevailing theologies surrounding resurrection have been conclusively shown to be internally inconsistent and yet people choose to believe them anyway.
It sure would be an advantage! But let me first say that implications of its existence are far more speculative than its existence alone, which has to the satisfaction of many erudite and rational people and in many detailed tests, been verified.
Not it hasn't.
That being said, I fail to see why "displace"ment would have to be overt.
As opposed to covert? What I mean is that people who could remote view would have more kids and their kids would survive better. They'd find food without having to search for it and avoid dangers without having to encounter them. In a few dozen generations, it would be as common as blue eyes. In a few dozen more generations, it would be hard to find people who couldn't remote view and they'd be considered handicapped.
I also think that intelligent people have advantages over 'stupid' people; but walk into the wrong trailer park -- or country -- and spout too much intelligence ~ and you're toast.
Intelligent people don't DO that. Intelligent people either avoid the dangerous places or avoid aggravating the dangerous situations by not doing stuff that pisses the locals off.
Also, most humans have significant advantages over cows, yet what displacement do they suffer that proves humans don't exist?
You're comparing cows to humans. I was comparing humans to humans or cows to cows. Cows that could remote view might be able to avoid the slaughterhouse.
No. I'm stating that the moonshots weren't in pursuit of profit and never would have been done in pursuit of profit.Maybe some day when the cost of space travel has become (relative to what it is now) cheap and routine. This neutrino communication system that's being suggested would be done, if at all, for profit. That puts in in a whole different class of endeavors so it's ridiculous to compare it to landing men on the moon. 'cause if there's a cheaper way, like locating your trading house 1000 feet from the exchange, they'll do that first. In fact, that's what those who might be able to afford the development of a neutrino communication system are doing right now.
I used to do this back in the day, but it's a long time since I've seen fanfold paper, let alone the wide greenbar paper I prefer. Where does one get fanfold paper and a printer that can handle it these days?

Funny how only corporations get offered deals like that.
Unless they asked your permission and only installed the GPS after you authorized it -- like Apple did.
How much do we want the government to limit consumer and commercial access to technology? Remember this is tech the government already uses.
She was probably right. A sultana should wite in beautiful flowing Arabic script.

There are lots of Starbucks where you can't get a cell phone signal or a GPS ( urban canyons, grocery stores) .
If the executive won't obey the law the mechanism of control is impeachment and defeat in elections.
The programs don't have to have bugs to vise huge losses. They just have to interact in an unexpected way with other HFT programs.

Yet they didn't sell well. Working is only half the problem in any business.
A game is more about the creative content -- artwork and story flow. This aren't important components of an OS.

In science, reproducible results and testable hypotheses are more important than God. And I would argue that the same is true in life generally.

Pardon me if I wait for evidence more compelling than unverified results.
Epistemology fail!
That's what I said.
The problem's all on your end, pal.

If that's the case, the stated or implied directive is don't break this. Which means probably no major rewrite.

Technology doesn't get developed because it would be good for everybody to have. It gets developed because some joker thinks it will make him rich.
