Use big drones to distribute solar powered WiFi mesh network nodes, that act as caching proxies, across rooftops and then have smaller drones deliver caches of data on a regular basis. The small drones can even recharge at each node before moving on to the next one to update it's cache. Optimise the routes and node positions and you have the best of both options with the fastest possible cache update times. You do not even need to update the entire cache, just add new content and have the node's storage much large than would fit on the small fast drones.
The simplest way to do this is to have it act like a shift register and read the last three codons on the right hand side to determine what codon to add to the left hand side, the read head part then moves to the left one place, and or the last codon on the right is deleted.
The initial start program needs to include the correct code to maintain a pattern for the computational core that implements the truth table so that the program does not eat itself..i.e. The chain of codons needs to loop back on itself so it can read and change itself and do so in a way that ensures that there is always a part of it that contains the pattern that makes this possible, even if the position of the logic core pattern changes over time.
Well, has anyone run a simulation to see what effect that altering the albedo of that much land would have?
Perhaps putting dark blue arrays on dark blue ocean water is a better idea? Plus you get the bonus of free cooling water that would have absorbed the heat anyway.

I'd like to see proof that current neural networks are worse than humans at decoding noisy hellschreiber messages, because CAPTCHAs have moved away from those sorts of distortions.
You probably don't have children, for the same reason. It takes 30 years to get a meatputer up to speed and even then 95% of them are basically useless when forced to "wing it".
and I can't see political parties doing themselves out of a job.
How real is democracy anyway, when so many people at the top of politics are connected, even related to each other?
Only stupid people grow plants in dirt if they have a limited water and nutrient supply, not to mention limited greenhouse space.
Dirt, stupid, dirt stupid!
You can't be invaded successfully if you secretly immunised +80% of your population against something nasty and you have enough stockpiles of the (viral) pathogen to ensure that most of an invading force is going to be killed off by it. If you are particularly Machiavellian you make it genotype specific and the ill soldiers returning to their home country ensure it is also devastated without it spreading to all humans quickly. The delay is enough to cripple the aggressor while you release the science on the immunisation and make it available to the world. So it is a one shot solution, but so is M.A.D. nuclear warfare.
There are far more evil things than hydrogen bombs, things that let small genetically diverse nations very effectively protect themselves from large less diverse bullies.
Unless there is some common flaw in an area such as the firmware of the MCU that is attached to the WiFi radio and that can be exploited to open a back door by mimicking user actions to "open up" the phone. If that is the case the security and type of the OS running on the main processor of the phone may not matter much.
If they are not interfering at a level below the radio then there is a lot less they could do with encrypted packets, other than the usual man-in-the-middle type attacks.
OK wise guy first define, exactly, what a human mind is. Then when you have done that define what exactly is and is not God.
At least I know what a bowl of spaghetti is when I see it!
It is a simple principle so I don't see why people have such a problem factoring it into their thinking, the technologies required to travel to Mars in large numbers, and then settle there on a permanent and self-sustaining basis, would allow you to live anywhere including in a completely artificial space habitat or deep within the Moon. It is silly to assume that people living on Mars would live on the surface, there is no benefit to doing so and many reasons why you would not. I doubt they would bother with solar power either, it will need to wait until compact fusion power is possible. Combine large artificial caves full of plants with living spaces that have wall sized 3D screens showing real or hyper-realistic rendered views and people would not have any need to spend time "outside", and that would include people on some theoretic future Earth that was so bad that people would risk their lives to abandon it and travel to Mars.
The real reason people would flee to Mars is if it offered a better society that was not hobbled by the religions, traditions and political systems of Earth, it would not be primarily a elite based on wealth, it would be a hyper rational intellectual elite that would rather move on than argue with the idiots back home on Earth.

for people with a very particular fetish.
That is the definitive way of remotely sensing the detonation of a nuclear weapon, isn't it?
If one part of the chain can read another and rewrite it according to the following rules then you have created life.
.i.e. The chain of codons needs to loop back on itself so it can read and change itself and do so in a way that ensures that there is always a part of it that contains the pattern that makes this possible, even if the position of the logic core pattern changes over time.

That would be Hillarious.
Yup, Neil De Neural-network is going to be is so much bother now, and all he was trying to do was help coders optimise their puny human code.

You just need to buy the Apple-OLED-Cock-Ring and set it to ultra-bright mode to blind any potential perverts, Glass enabled or otherwise.

That would make it even lighter. And I don't know why they call it a metal, it is a composite, a meta-material surely?

I agree, we are not even close to being able to live off world without constant resupply and staff turnover.
But... If you can make it on Mars, you can make it anywhere.

Men can get breast cancer too, but they can't pop out kids.
Correct, your mother's risk of breast cancer could have been increased by her local environment, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
