"The UK dropped their space launch capability and decided to focus on what would become ESA, making them the only country to have developed a national satellite launch capability and then to have dropped it."
Unfortunately this has been a common trend in the UK. Look at the Comet airliner that was ahead of the times that got shelved after issues.
If he thinks that objects everywhere will have displays his vision of the future is very limited. In the display will be always in front of our eyes similar to Google glasses, so we can have it literally ANYWHERE. This will shortly be supplanted by a neurological HUD without physical form.
Surely this goes against everything we know about the expansion of space time?
When the universe expands, it not like an explosion where matter expands into space or void. The actual space itself stretches and thus the ruler with it. Not to mention there's nothing to expand into as the universe is the entirety of everything. This is true even if you take into account the size of the universe being bigger than what we see in the observable universe due to the event horizon.
So a universe pre-inflation of 1 ruler unit in radius will still be 1 ruler in radius unit today? What am I missing?
I think it's a good idea, just as a notification system is in Android and iOS.. Except it should be using the OS's native system, not a secondary one.
The problem is.. they haven't done this.. they just removed it completely.
Didn't the whole "websites can trigger desktop notifications" thing only come out about a year ago?.. have the abandoned that by doing this?
Many people even on here are confusing Intelligence with Consciousness and Knowledge.
We created knowledge when we passed on information to our sons and daughters via grunts and gestures and scribbled the first symbols and drawings on cave walls.
We created the first intelligence in the last few decades with computers and are continuing to advance each year at a fantastic rate... (Google Now still blows my mind)
We have not yet created a consciousness.. nor can we even perceive what one actually is beyond just the words "being self aware". This is not a technical or scientific barrier but a philosophical and theological one.
Many who talk about emergent AI, bundle intelligence with consciousness when they are completely separate entities. I personally don't believe that consciousness can just spark into existence as an emergent property. While Sir Roger Penrose's theories of quantum effects causing consciousness are interesting, they still don't explain any mechanism and just rely on it just emerging. I don't think he ever talks about how it causes being self aware either.
I find the consciousness aspect of AI very "spooky" in that I can only attribute it to a higher being, be that the person who runs this simulation or a God.
If anyone knows any recent theories or work regarding consciousness I'd very much appreciate links to it.
"I wouldn't really call it false positives since there's a sliding scale between giant planet and star."
No there isn't. There's a very binary distinction that occurs when there's sufficient mass to cause nuclear fusion.
The problem is there's announcements several times a year about super-dooper battery tech that is just about to storm the market. The reality is that battery technology is evolving slower than most other technologies and is lagging behind by a massive margin.
Slashdot Mirror
Which is just another Star Wars episode anyway thanks to JJ.
Unless you're Elon Musk, who's opinions about everything are valid. Even his turds hold secrets about modern technology and science.
I quite agree. I've seen places try this as a VERY short experiment 15 years ago. No software shop actually uses it.
Godel proved this mathematically. Why is this even a thing?
.. may cause you to install malware.. Er.. Is this really an article?

Are likely to be social leaders, scientists, engineers, astronauts, science fiction writers and philosophers.

Not true at all.. Think of a an airplane or spaceship cockpit
I agree. I mean how the hell are we going to pay for a new Enterprise in 2016!??!
"Cosmic radiation, supernova explosions, and collisions with small galaxies make much of the Milky Way too hellish for _our type_ of biology"
Did you read the article and that it never said we have parity in 2015?
Maybe if you say "shit" one more time it will help promote your "shit" videos that promote "shit" what you can do on youtube videos.
Why does it matter to you or anyone else where the decimal point is? It's a version number, not a mathematical scale.
So why not juice move to Chrome or Edge or Opera or whatever you like.. Why the allegiance to FF?

Does "someone else has installed Linux" headlines grab you more?

Along with better smartphone batteries, the space elevator, a mission to mars and.. Linux becoming a household OS.

No the moon is hollow and brought here by the Pleiadians, der!

Then the Windows user went on and did something actually productive with their OS
But we never seem to find any of these new technologies finding their way to actual batteries the general public can access.
