4) The government uses their military to take what they need , then handles out IOU's for it 5) They try to inflate the value out of it by favoring those that can "store a.k.a decirculate" the most IOU's and making these exceptions the norm , thereby reducing the "perceived" value.This means that the "top 1%" will allways need to be "reduced" ad infinitum 6) Those that see through this don't matter if they do or don't comply , the only question is : DO YOU LIKE THE PAPERWORK ?
The obvious thing about economic subjects like this, is that , allthough physics does not claim to be even analytically able to solve a three body dynamical evolution , when budgets are involved , everyone is suddenly the expert.
And the instrument everyone is using is the holy grail of all arguments.... : the percentage %
All talk boils down to this amount x percentage , compared to that percentage y
All the world is suddenly describable within a scale from 1 to 100
I enjoyed the read.
Many quotables afaic.
Concise and to the point answering , tongue in cheeck where possible , ego centered , but not egotistical , and how could you do any different ?
Here in the Netherlands I'm commuting by bicycle
26 miles/42 km daily for the last 10 years steady without a helmet.
In those 10 years I had one fall that broke my upperarm and shoulder ,
and 2 years before that 2 broken ellbows .
In my whole life of biking (38 years on the bike) I have never bumped my head because of a fall or accident.
It's the arms that will break the fall ,
a helmet would be such a drag...

Our "intelligence" is vastly overrated compared to our self-maintenance and repair
Especially when this "intelligence" is not even a proven mandatory requirement for survival
Start with machine-based self-maintenance on the order of the human body
When you have reached that pointed , THEN you are able to establish some real machine-based learning via trial-and-error
And then again , how do you program for self-modification ?

AI would form its own Fermi Paradox : If there is intelligent life , then why aren't they answering ?

Hey man ,
"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”
Anything is possible
I doubt Google ever made a profit from their hardware ,
but they paved the way for others to step in.
Valve is it's own carrier in this respect.
And it will find producers and marketing to sell something other than a hacked-together pc clone
"something related to a game with a 3 in the title methinks."
Uhhm , Portal 3 ? Left for Dead 3 ? Help me out here Gordon ....

The brain has evolved around the interplay between sensory input and motory activation.
Computers have neither.
So it's thinking would be a whole different class.
So its upon humans to decide upon the input and the desired output.
This would only make sense if you aim for an output that cannot humanly be predicted from its input.
So the output would be an unknown
How do you then verify the validity of such an output ?
You can't , apart from crosschecking with a similar setup.
But the interpretation of this output must be verified in real life .
So the only way to validate a thinking war computer would be to start that war.
And for some that would be the desired output , only to be decided upon by politicians.
Yet the politician is then not allowed to trust upon the computer data for obvious reasons of indepence
The reverse argument holds :
Being 1000x dummer ,
we are unaware of their visitations up to now
having mediocre *basic* knowledge about something that's used in pretty much every field would actually be the norm (Basic statistics ...?)
Thank you , that is the perfect analogy to this article ...
This article reeks of Heisenberg Uncertainty ...
Maximal effect , minimal impact
Yes , we are on the right track , Blarny.
What about : the meaning of the trip is in the travelling and not in the destination ?
Shouldn't of... that is my pet peeve.
It's shouldn't HAVE. Jesus aren't you guys college grads?
Being a non - english native , ....
it took me some years to understand that this is not intentional
Someone copied Bill Gates' 1995 book "The Road Ahead," where he predicted charging fees to the senders.
" ... Gates is not so much a wizard of technology as a wizard of precognition , of discerning the shape of the next game ..."
I see bussiness
These are exciting times we live on
Logic enters the 4th dimension
The no-loop version would be an entire maze printed on a single line ...

It's funny , but totally wrong.

Kind of silly is it not ?
pool.ntp.org is our one and only external resource that we need .
centuries from now ,
our time will not be known as the Information Age ,
but as the Cable or Copper Age ,

I don't think the Institute is meant to teach Tim Fox anything
Apprehension of basic science can yet still be a source of bewonderment (to a journalist)
The foremost argument against current renewable energy sources is that the electricity cannot be easily stored and transported for storage
If Yes , then nothing is in the way of assuming that the simulation itself could be virtualized as well.
So this exercise in philosophy is another way of devising an experiment to whether Nature is knowable or not at all

Then read the Quoran and know that it was an absolute improvement ...
