Government interference to enforce net neutrality may be harmful to a free internet, but it is not harmful to the customer. Unlimited free markets invariably lead to monopolies and collusions between them to maximize profit, and to erect barriers for new entries.
One of the problems with your position is that the largest cost is maintaining the last mile. The marginal cost for getting the bits on the ISP's network is relatively small.
But it also has fibers, which help digest the sugar
While fibers are healthy, it's not because they help digest the sugar. The body can digest sugar just fine, and that's the bad part, actually. Fibers are good because they slow down digestion, they retain moisture, and they feed the intestinal bacteria.
"Juicer" typically indicates that you make your own beverage from fresh fruits and veggies, which is not at all unhealthy
That depends on the ratio between fruit and veggies. Most fruit is high in sugar, while most veggies are low. If you juice from pure fruit, it's quite unhealthy.
Actually we could adopt the same approach if we gave up on switching speed and went instead for low power and parallel execution. But we'd need to redesign all our algorithms.
The problem is that many algorithms can't be redesigned to work efficiently on a (massively) parallel computer.
What they're talking about is a way of improving the speed of learning. Nothing else (that I know of). Also nothing less. This is quite important WRT the practicality of using current deep learning approaches, but it doesn't make the end state any more powerful (except that it can continue learning faster).
They're also talking about reducing the size by several orders of magnitude.
Physicalists are a very strange kind of fundamentalist religious, as they always assume their view is obviously true and the only possible one. These people are thinking they have rejected religion, only to replace it with something that has all the characteristics of fundamentalist religion
It's just simple observation. We observe that brains are physical objects and that they have intelligence and consciousness. To deny that this is happening, even though we observe it, that's fundamentalist religious.
That very likely requires consciousness, i.e. some major fundamental breakthrough that is not even on the very far horizon as nobody has any idea what it is and as it does not seem to be part of what can be implemented with physical machines (there just is no mechanism for it).
Whatever consciousness is, it can be implemented by a physical machine: our brains do it. If you feel that this is impossible, then you need to adjust your notion of what consciousness is.
I've lost count of the number of times I've come across a coworker doing something that's taking forever, and a little time spent automating the task (even if it's a one-off) saved gobs of time.
I've seen the same with most of my programmer coworkers, so I'm not hopeful that teaching somebody to code is going to fix that problem.
It's not the first walking fish, but this one is newly discovered, and has unique way of walking. Quote the abstract:
In all other fishes, the pelvic bones are suspended in a muscular sling or loosely attached to the pectoral girdle anteriorly. In contrast, the pelvic girdle of Cryptotora is a large, broad puboischiadic plate that is joined to the iliac process of a hypertrophied sacral rib; fusion of these bones in tetrapods creates an acetabulum.
There's only one more gap, as this particular walking fish has nothing to do with salamanders, except for some resemblance in the way it walks. And the gap between walking and non-walking fish was filled with fish with intermediate walking skills
It's more evidence for a weird phenomenon where a bunch of bodies behave in a very non-random, coincidental way.
If a bunch of bodies in space move in a very non-random, coincidental way, there must be a mass pulling on them. There's no other remotely credible explanation.
In f**k's sake, please make sure that those believe in "God" are all christians as there are many religions other than christianity. Christianity is not "THE" religion and your christianity god (or gods) not "THE" (only) god.
Your objection is hardly relevant in the context, as 90% of US theists are Christians.

Technically yes, but in practice it doesn't hurt anyone.

Proper science doesn't censor incorrect results, it lets them speak for themselves.
Proper science is conducted in scientific journals, not through bad propaganda films.
Also, eating an orange means you're getting quite a bit more fiber.

If you're paying for someone's health care, it's because you offered to pay. Rescind the offer if you don't like where the money is going.
It's a democracy. I can choose to vote one way or the other, but I can't just decide not to follow the law without nasty consequences.
While it still contains sugar the article is talking about ADDED sugar.
The article is also talking about pure juice.
So unless you fresh press your own juice and than add a teaspoon into every glass you drink fresh pressing your own juice is far healthier.
Freshly pressed orange juice still has the same amount of sugar as regular cola.
Fresh home-juiced fruit isn't much better.
It seems to claim 'orange juice' is very high in sugar, but then implies it means orange juice with added sugar, not pure OJ.
Pure orange juice has about 8.5% of sugar and about 2% of other carbohydrates. That could be called 'very high'

Also, let me know when you'll stop using the -1 mod for "Disagree, but I can't think of a good reply"
Let me know when bitcoin can handle 2000 transactions per second, which is just equivalent to VISA average.
