I've heard this, but don't understand what he was trying to say. In science, bias is deviation from the truth. In engineering testing, you inject bias into the system to test robustness.
Skepticism is now discouraged in education. Consensus is the new thing. To share
ideas and let the group find the right answer through their combined experiences.
Given how far astray critical thinking has often taken us, maybe it’s time to embrace the Millennial Generation’s approach and see if it leads to even better results than the preferred methods of older generations.
Where does it say this in the constitution? There are over 20 parties listed on national elections and a few people in the federal government who belong to neither of the two major parties.
May - Weasel word: A weasel word, or anonymous authority, is an informal term for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that a specific or meaningful statement has been made, when instead only a vague or ambiguous claim has actually been communicated. This can enable the speaker to later deny the specific meaning if the statement is challenged. Where this is the intention, use of weasel words is a form of tergiversation.
Weasel words can be used in advertising and in political statements, where it can be advantageous to cause the audience to develop a misleading impression.
tergiversation: To evade, to equivocate using subterfuge; to obfuscate in a deliberate manner.
When you figure it out, it's easy to manipulate rating systems. I used to do this for fun on reddit. I got bored and haven't done it in a while, but on a thread I was able to do things like get both top and bottom scores using the same comment, get massively high scores and massively low scores. A lot ha to do with understanding how memes and beliefs (the sacred cows) are used. Timing is also very important.
It was fun and I could get just about any karma I wanted, but also somewhat scary in how easy it was to swing opinion...almost like people had none of their own and had to be told what to think.
Why can't that be automated? We're bombarded almost daily with stories about how there's no more work on Earth because all of that stuff is about to be automated here.
Why not start out someplace much easier, like Antarctica? You can make many more and significantly cheaper mistakes, then maybe try moving to the moon.
I'd really like to know what the economy of a moon colony would look like. Would it be a bunch if unemployed people sitting around watching netflix in 1/6th g while waiting on their resupply ship from Earth twice a year?
This worries me the most too. You do realize that critical thinking is discouraged in education these days and consensus building encouraged. Read up on Morley Winograd, Senior Policy Advisor to Vice President Al Gore. and Director of the National Partnership for Reinventing Government.
3D printers have been around since to 70's and 80's. The latest development I know is extrusions, all the others were laser/polymer, I think those came first.
I have. Had a very expensive printer at work (big engineering company) maybe 15 years ago, saw 2 prototypes that it made, but I guess people did't find it that useful and never saw any more.

If you want a multi party system then you need to design a system that supports it...the US Constitution supports only two.
Old joke:
What's the difference between a computer and used car salesman?
The car salesman knows when he's lying.
.the US Constitution supports only two.

Go suck Hittler's petrified cock you Putin cum hole.
I remember learning about slab allocation on slashdot. Who let you in? I bet you are proud of yourself.

/. is the only social media (if you consider it such) that I read, have no problems going without and am somewhat prospering in today's world

because most of them would be busy...

Well, at least we traded it for the SCSC (twenty times more powerful than the LHC).

Population and technology increased during the middle ages, if that is the time period that you are referring to.
You know what worries me?

Wouldn't a biodome on the Earth be better? Even with a 20 degree increase, it will still be hundreds less than on the moon.
Maybe somewhere around the 60's. It's an easier and lazier way of talking, so it stuck.

The wheels of progress turn slowly in any large organization
Is makerbot really a large organization? They laid off 1/3 of their 500 employees in February.
Inadequate for what now?

Has Slashdot really devolved to the point where nobody even bothers correcting misuse of the word "hacker" anymore?
While I might love hacking a mars rover. That has no relation to breaking anyone's security.
One Texas is 33.45 Wales.
PS, we have 50 other states (but Texas is the second largest)
It probably made the buyer happy too.
All that people want anymore are cell phones.
