Very simple. I am a physicist, and not qualified. I find it funny that elementary physics, well suited for a 1-3rd semester student seems to be not well understood.
OTOH, for sure we can "adress the problem by technology and science". We should, and we will. It may be enough for you, and me, our kids and their friends. But i am pretty sure that it will not be enough for the whole world.
There are two kinds of technology:
a) Trying to do planet-wide terraforming. Good luck with that. Recollecting the CO2 may be a little more hard than you imagine
b) mitigating the impact. Sure, seeing how humanity got along in respect to helping the poorer parts of the planet when it comes to ridiculously cheap to solve problems like infections/child mortality, we all believe that aid and technolody to lessen the impact will be made available to 6 Billion people and not just to 2 Billion (China, US, Europe)
> Who's to say that sufficient advances in quantum mechanics won't eventually make it possible to do this in aqueous solution,
It's not about "doing in in aqueous solution" someday (do what?), it's more like understanding coherence processes in open quantum systems well enough to exclude coherent quantum states in information processing beyond molecular reactions.
Sorry. I really have enough of this. As somebody who worked for 10 years in Quantum Science (experimental), I already know that when the word consciousness appears in a physics context, 5 lines later there will a reference to entanglement.
Let me express that *obviously* most physicists are unhappy with Quantum Mechanics and Kopenhagen Interpretation not being emergent from a known appropriately local theory of the universe, but this frustration should not lead to shit like this.
Let me state my view on this:
* Entanglement does not allow to transmit information fast than light
* In the meantime, we understand the observer/measurement problem much better than let's say 30 years ago. It is acceptable for people being educate before 1981-1990 in quantum mechanics not to have knowledge about dephasing by a coupled bath, but this doesn't make it good science to push everything which we don't understand to consciousness
* We can calculate decoherence rates of quantum states for given coupling strengths and temperatures. These rates are, in aqueous solution quite high, which clearly expresses that information processing in the brain will not happen by quantum processes which can not be described by reaction rates of molecules/ions.
* Assuming that particles have consciousness is not a scientific theory, since it is not falsifiable. (All the particles in your experiment *wanted* to fly that way today, and the day before and the day before, but maybe they change their mind)
* Experiments like mind-matter unification project and other tests of esoteric theories going in this direction never showed any result beyond what could be expected.
I consider this the transition to a more stable period. For some time it was unclear how functions would be split between programming languages. All kind of ideas were in the room, with interesting new contenders. Still the programming community decided that the areas covered by Java, Javascript, C, Python are well distributed in the way in which they are and that "good enough is still good".
C# (competitor to C++ and Java in my eyes) seems to be dying. Swift doenst take over from objective C as fast as that one is going down. So for low-level languages nothing else is left. OOP and Data Architectures are firmly in the hand of Java, which has a very small overlap and a very good synergy with C. Python coesists in other areas, and hurts neither of he two languages.
So in some sense: the war is over and java, (C+C++), python, Javascript have won for now.
so he can set up a facebook profile with the girl/woman he wants to stalk as a profile photo and then he get's notified when she appears in another photo?
What could possibly go wrong? I mean it's 100% clear that all persons want to identify with their real name...
That is IMHO not the strong side of crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is best when the solution is well known, desired by some potential users, but not being produced by the market because the product is financially not interesting enough (could be "too small userbase" or too risky).
my galaxy note 2 hardware is still quite ok (microphone problems, but using it as a phone never was a priority), but CM is non existent and samsung stopped to deliver update a long time ago.... I would be a bigger fan if they would have based it on debian, but ok...
does not happen by GPS, by normal vision or radar.
Avoiding collisions by GPS would be reckless and violate international law. (Since it would require all vessels to have a transponder, incluing small ones or ones without motor/steering).
Navigating in shipping routes close to coasts/harbors happens by Buoys.
So yes, ships have an alternative system.
About the hypothesis that GPS is easier to jam, i would have to think a little bit.
.. Delaware resident Anirudh Narayanan, 17, prepared all summer to compete in the Excel 2013 category,
What happened to summer? when i was 17 it was: hanging out with friends in your favourite spot in the evening, playing mutiplayer games on warm evenings, going biking, swimming, and just learn whatever 1-5 evening programming project fit in into this schedule.
With my 20TB decoder engine, i can compress movies down to 4 bytes! (ok, you may have to update the decoder engine once new movies come out, but hey...).
When i should stop calling a female a girl in personal life depends on the circumstances. In professional life it is pretty clear. I do not call my young colleagues boys or girls, not even if they are interns.
and twice as likely to be subjected to unsolicited sexual advances (6 vs 3 percent).
This does not represent the ration between the genders. Normally I would expect the following: Lets assume 10% of the persons don't know when they cross the line from being nice and a little flirty to "unsolicited sexual advances" and that they target a gender of their sexual preference, and that this happens equally distributed over the other gender.
The i would figure that nearly every women working in tech should have experienced such a thing, and nearly no male. So either men are over reporting, women are underreporting, or women are indeed making such advances more often. I personally think it is the women underreporting, but these numbers are dubious.
In real life, hacking back does work in minutes or hours, but if it works at all days, weeks, months or years. And that assumes that it works at all, that you hit the right system and that the system is in possession of the institution you actually want to hit (and not just a hacked system).
That was also my thought. The time that there was some electronic switch instead of an virtual packet switch are long gone, and the times that relays actually switched connections instead of computers/digital electronics which operated analog switches even longer.
And DoS attacks on such Networks are much easier than DoS on the internet.

Right way: ask your ide to guess the variable type, and insert variable with this type. It's good to know if the inferred type changed.....

I was under the impression that Ariane 5 did automatically self-destruct in 1996.
He does sound only a little better than dadadodo anyway, so i am not sure if a modern AI would make more sense than his tweets.

That described the use of my free time im Summer.

Sorry, I think it is inappropriate in both ways. And it is inappropriate to call female coworkers "girls".

As long as it's only JDK and not the JRE.....

now IE suck to much and Firefox lacks focus.
