Let me introduce you to the convection cooled heatsink. No moving parts, powered entirely by the dissipated heat itself, it just has to have sufficient surface area for the job (and they scale up more easily than actively cooled systems).
No. If you have a machine that's 50% efficient, where does the other 50% of the energy go? That's right, heat. If you can recover 10% of that heat as electricity, your machine is now 60% efficient. Even if you could recover the theoretical 100% of the waste heat the total energy efficiency is still only 100%, so it doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics.
This would be implemented by having the steam pass over the outer surface of the hot electrode to keep it hot while the other electrode is air or water cooled.
We will see a change; either people will pull their heads out of their asses, or they will be removed.
Sorry, but do you mean the people will be removed, their heads will be removed, or their asses will be removed? I'm curious because one of these will require a novel redesign of the guillotine...
I would also suggest that selling ads means it has at least some control over the site's content, regardless of whether the actual servers are located there.
Gunsmiths also perform repairs and maintenance, and I'm fairly certain Occupational Health and Safety regulations that require repairs to be done by a qualified individual apply to the police.

Hence the word "theoretical". No machine can ever be 100% efficient in practice.
You're absolutely correct, thanks for pointing out my error.

And they were familiar with eunuchs commands.
That's two unfair stereotypes. Some women have beards.
So the real challenge is improving in-flight catering.
Yes it is. Induced doesn't mean what you think it means.
If you break the law in space, there's nothing to stop law enforcement from seizing your assets back on the ground.
"Nice city you have there, lots of friendly people. Be a pity if someone de-orbited a four ton rock on it, wouldn't it?"

PLASTIQUE SURGERY!
It's "plastic surgery". Plastique is a high explosive.
But don't feel bad, I think you accidentally came up with a way to make the movie worth watching.
"Television was a medium that declined by the mid-21st century"
Ah, so that explains "Enterprise": they were working to make the prediction come true.
You can do that?!? Wow, I guess their economy really does rely heavily on prostitution.
Well yes, it would be an ad sales office, that's Facebook's business. And judging by Facebook's own careers page and the statement in this article where a US representative of Facebook says they pay taxes on their business activities in Italy, it would appear that it is indeed Facebook. Unless you can point to evidence to the contrary, your counterpoint is unfounded speculation at best.
I would also suggest that selling ads means it has at least some control over the site's content, regardless of whether the actual servers are located there.
How is Facebook operating in Italy?
Perhaps by having a sales office in Milan?
It's definitely gone to a better place now.
It's the same license.

Yeah, that's the point: it's not really news. As much as I respect his accomplishments, Ray sounds like the boy who cried electric wolf these days.
Indeed...it's minimum wage, and babies are much better deep fried in a tempura batter.
Could be worse: Ray Kurzweil.
How do you fix a problem and keep it fixed without knowing why the problem exists?
1 - Strict mode.
2 - Cats don't seem to respond predictably to any input. I posit they're our perceptual interpretation of random number generators.
And what about the moral implications of subjecting a sentient artificial entity to this kind of torment over and over until you get it right.
That just makes it more fun.
