Using a general purpose assembly robot to flip burgers at a normal grill seems like a poor solution. Why not use a conveyor oven ? Or a two sided contact grill for one or two patties.
285 microspeakers and an induction coil to move one faint, wobbly pixel.
Luciola could fly to such objects to deliver a message or help to make moving displays with multiple lights that can detect the presence of humans, or participate in futuristic projection mapping events.
The problem with following the link to the web site where the image is found is that very often the page is dynamic ("hottest news stories of today") and the image is nowhere to be found.
FPGA aren't really good for massive amounts of multiplications. Modern FPGAs have dedicated multipliers, but they only have a few of them. And the reason they have dedicated multipliers is because the general FPGA fabric sucks at doing multiplications.
Not at all useful. Neural nets require large memory bandwidth and multiplications. SHA256 hashing needs dedicated logic for SHA256 hashing, and very little memory bandwidth. Besides, there are already much better chips for hashing.
Statistically, they have better lives, and lead a more valuable and productive existence. Millenia of archeological proof.
People in Africa had at least 50000 years of head start to make their lives more productive. They have plenty of natural resources too. It was their own choice to continue with tribal warfare until present day.
white countries have been rewarded with the best, most-coveted civilisations
They started with nothing, and made those themselves.
If the cameras have their exposure calibrated for a white face (middle gray), but they are shown a black face, they will automatically increase light to make the face look middle gray again, and the face will be overexposed.
He said cost is driven not by size but by parts count
Once you start landing and reusing rockets, the cost starts to move in different areas. Not size or parts count, but effort required to prepare for relaunch.
Another reason for 9 small engines is that they need to land the booster, and the required thrust for a landing is very small due to almost empty fuel tanks. Throttling down a huge engine to such a small thrust makes for a very difficult (and probably suboptimal) design. Also, you'd need an engine pattern so that you can put one engine in the center, so 3 in a circle isn't an option either.
Also, with 9 engines on the booster, a single engine is the right size for the 2nd stage, which reduces cost even more.
The number of engines a rocket has means absolutely nothing if you don't also know the minimum number required to achieve the goal.
There's a lot of flexibility in the system.
A rocket launches a wide variety of payloads to a wide variety of orbits. That means that for 95% of the launches, the rocket will have spare capacity. And even then, most satellites have their own thrusters and fuel so they can adjust their orbit. A failed engine may mean that the satellite will be put in a lower orbit, and needs more of its own fuel to become operational. Another option is for SpaceX to cancel the landing (if that was planned) and use all remaining fuel to push the payload.

What is he smoking ?
If they'd enforce carry on size, there would be no reason to put it somewhere else.
Salon: "We intend to use a small percentage of your spare processing power"
That's much less than a fully loaded quad-core.
They can pay off the 10k extra taxes that they get to finance the whole scheme.
Welcome to the internet, where we have text stories about spectacular photographs, which we won't include in the article.

For starters, video cards have too much precision.
When I tested this by entering "you should not eat", I got the helpful autocompletion "mangoes in a heatwave".
They should prevent exploitation of their algorithms in general, not just when it suits some particular vocal group.

They have auto exposure but it's tuned either for general photography or white skin
You mean that they overexpose black skin ? This means that the correct setting would produce darker results, with even less contrast.

That's all I could think of, but I'm sure there are more reasons.
Tooling. Smaller engine parts have a much better chance of fitting in standard lathes and mills.

First you have to define exactly what you mean by "conscious being", and then we can answer the question.
I can't wait to see your trained ant drive a car.
That explanation still does not explain what exactly the 'syndrome' is.
