    President Clinton made a lot of statements that were later found in court to be perjurious.

    Matter and particles can't. Space itself can.

    Good luck getting the energy necessary, though.

    I can see why people in Vegas think the world is a hell hole.

    Everything for the sake of appearances, etc.

    But ... ah, overpopulated? Hmm. That one's much less clear.

    Christians didn't freak out when they discovered humans in North America, Hawaii, or Australia, or whatever.

    The Bible doesn't say anything about that (hint: because where you live doesn't affect the value of your life very much, especially compared to how you live and what is going on inside).

    They just sent missionaries to tell them about Jesus and to clothe and feed them.

    The athiests aren't freaking out that life isn't forming in all these planets, moons, exo planets, whatever. If evolution is so likely, or whatever, there should be life all over the stinkin place.

    The athiests didn't freak out when Darwin's attack on genetics turned out to be false and mildly ridiculous either.

    People are just deciding how they want to live and then backing their world view into it.

    Live happy, I say.

    They don't live like they're religious ... the politicians, that is.

    Anonymous does not need state sponsored assistance in spawning garbage.

    The ability to feel pain is not what makes you a person. Agency is the quality of being able to make choices reflecting your values and priorities and fighting for them over time. You know how you can be certain AI's are not people? AI has never come even REMOTELY close to winning a Turing test ... to the point where AI competitions have made it a forgone conclusion that can't be the criteria they use ... since all AI's will always fail that way. And, btw, why is it fetus's are not viewed as people? It's so the more powerful (their dark, dark parents) can rule over and murder those who aren't capable of protecting their own interests.

    Yep. Explains it.

    SUCCESS is illegal, and it is punished by theft from the do-nothing continent.

    Seriously guys. No wonder people from Europe immigrate to the US and not the other way around. We make all your movies. We do all your medicinal research. We do all your pharmecuetical research. What do the Europeans do? High horse pilfering.

    Today its about protecting animals.

    There are judges in Europe who are calling them "people".

    There are science fiction shows where "Holograms" and AI are called people.

    After AI, ordinary rocks and ideas will be considered people.

    Eventually everything will be "protected" equally in that nothing will be protected.

  13. You are growing synthetic premises faster than anyone can keep up with.

  14. What kind of weird ethics is this?

    Other people manufacture clothes, appliances, and household goods for me. Dishwashers clean my dishes.

    How is that incriminating?

    It's a good thing we have people like you to make these assertions.

    Otherwise people if left to their own impressions might think Trump is getting things right.

    That is, btw, what you are implying here.

    "very similar to earth"

    Some of the details get hidden away here (e.g. for the purposes of click-bait).

    I read a similar article covered from a different place and it mentioned this very close size to earth is more like 30 times the size.

    I'm sure if you got off the rocket ship and weighed 30 times more you'd hardly be able to notice.

    The keystone cops experts come in and say, "well in astronomical terms it is very close". Which is exactly why astronomy has little personal significance to anyone (other than draining their pockets, of course, in the form of massive tax dollars).

    So your alternative proposal is the government just disallows this cutting edge tech and people just die?

    Maybe a government that forces people to make this decision is flawed?

    Or run by murderers?

    I don't understand why a tech news / forum site like this should exclude virtual currencies.

    Perhaps you think they're too ubiquitous to be considered news worthy now?

    My knee jerk reaction is to just assume you're evaluating this politically and want the government to stealth tax everyone with monetary policy where the government can control the currency.

    There must be some part of the journalist brain that involuntarily peppers headlines and articles with that word.
