Hahaha, it remembers me this time I was in Kingston, NY and paid the guy using among other change pieces a Canadian penny, because in Canada we are always using indistinctly US and CDN pennies. The guy did notice it and told me with a frown face throwing my CDN penny on the counter: "Could you give me a regular penny?" Like I was a burglar or trying to make me rich using false money.
That's not what I am saying neither. A by product of robotized space exploration is technologies readily-usable here while the manned space exploration didn't produce that much technologies usable here. Most of the science around the manned exploration is about sustaining life in space and a big part of the budget go to that rather than going to increase the innovation in robotics or any other technology you need when a human isn't available next door to fix a problem.
Also, unless you have bottomless pockets, you need to make choices. So, yes, using a metric which maximize innovation usable on Earth is one that should be on top, even if it is not the only one.
I don't know, I live in Quebec and I speak french. I never ever heard about this story before and from TFA, it's more than one year old (21 January 2011). That's only now I am learning about it on./, never ever read about it in our local, regional and national newspapers. So, this raises the question: What damages to his reputation can he really claim since nobody heard about it until he decided to sue the authorities?
The point is: Do we really need that many teachers around the world? Wouldn't be much more productive to have them working on their respective fields and do either research or at least development and innovation. Turning theory into practical things and stimulates the economy rather than teaching?
What's the best usage of all these brains? Have a few of them teaching, writing books and the rest of them leading projects or having all of them teaching?
Exactly and provide a full fledge working entertainement console which PS3 isn't due to numerous bugs Sony just doesn't care to fix because gaming is the only thing they take care of. The f... internet browser is full of bugs and memory leaks, it even crashes the whole console, situation for which I sent back numerous bug reports to Sony hoping one day they will fix something. Given my total desillusion in Sony's customer service, if they want me to buy a PS4 they have a couple of quantum leaps to do to convince me.
Most bad comment made by Hawking at my sense. Lack of imagination and originality in this very used bad macho joke. But I guess everyone is supposed to find it cute since it's from Hawking.
It is pretty obvious most engineers in the IT field are prone to control-freak technocracy. That's the very nature of the IT to control everything as tight as possible.
Thomas Kuhn was wrong at my sense, the picture he made is one of his time. What is happening isn't related to a productivity peak at age X and a decrease after that. A scientist having made its reputation is less likely with age to risk it at the risk to lose everything. Older scientists are just becoming prudent in research subjects and investigations they want to make. But, they are still productive and clever peoples. Younger scientists on the other end have about nothing to lose early in their career and are then much more likely to do silly things and try risky avenues. Which sometimes pay and sometimes don't pay. And went it don't pay, we said they are learning. When the old scientist is doing sometime that doesn't pay, we say he is declining. Life is a bitch!
It is sad to read old dogs are shoot after a entire life dedicated to make their employer rich and famous and the world better.
What's the problem being a lawyer paid by someone? Is the argument valuable? Yes or no? If yes, then value it. What does it change from who's mouth the argument came? Of course, everyone is paid by someone and everyone is having interests and nobody is objective in this life. It doesn't mean everybody should shut up.
I agree with you and Steve Jobs on this one. And to make a comment on the parent post to this parent. The Roman Emperors just gave the people what it asked. To stay in power, they add to statisfy the Romans and bread and circuses was what they wanted. Do not reinterpret history please. Gladiator cannot be taken for an history documentary.
There is still a major difference between all these flights and stay in space. In all cases, they were still protected by the Earth magnetic field to a certain extend. On an eventually flight to Mars, they won't be and they will be exposed to a high radiation level for a much longer time in row, which is having some kind of importance in the capability of the body to recover from the damages caused by the radiations.
So, in order to produce a more realistic experiment the next time they should plan to install the dummy vessel near Fukushima.
In fact, life is tuning itself to the universe whenever possible. And the universe could have been unobservable as well, it is currently not the case, but there is no guarantee it will be always the case.
Israel borders were in fact defined in 1948, then wars changed them. The point being territory definition and capacity to establish sovereignty on disputed territories is what defines a country borders.
That's why Canadian government is making a big deal about patrols in the Northwest Passage in order to establish its own sovereignty over these historically claimed territories. Since few decades ago, there was no necessity to patrol these territories since nobody was in position to claim them over Canada.
You can draw whatever borders you want, if the country isn't able to enforce them, that's wasted time. So is about the Palestine borders.
If they wished, Israelis were perfectly entitled to keep conquered territories during the Six days war. They were responding to an agression and an attempt to undermine the integrity of its territory.
Think whatever you want about this, but there is no peace possible without negociation between the two parties.
Canada just announced they decided to defund UNESCO as well, following USA on this one.
There is no reason to accept Palestine as a member of UNESCO without knowing the actual borders of the state. A state cannot exist without a known territory and this is exactly the case with Palestine. This is not something against Palestinians themselves, it is about the whole process of what constitute a nation and a country which is a prerequisite for the membership into an organization built around the concept of country. There is no work around for a negociation between Israel and Palestine about fixed borders. Letting Palestinian thinking they can become a nation without borders is a lure. Inevitably the war will follow if someone has the idea to force the borders unilaterally.
Someone is preparing war. Who among those UNESCO countries voting in favor of the inclusion of the Palestine will be ready to defend Palestine borders?
There is no links to make between responsability and IP rights. If Google decides to produce, market and sell a driverless car, it doesn't mean they need to own all the IP rights on the technology inside the product. Most car manufacturers don't own all the IP rights for the technology they include in their cars. The main point here, they are selling these cars, so they are making money from them and then they are responsible. It has nothing to do with IP ownership. You are responsible for what you sell and because you selected technology X, Y, Z to produce and include in your product. Many cars are including embedded computers these days and the OS and other software components IP rights are not owned by the car manufacturers. Same thing for software in avionics and so on. No, sorry, because you are selling a product including technology X doesn't entitle you to claim IP rights on it. You just have to pay the royalities to the owner. And it doesn't engage the responsability of the owner neither in regard of eventual casualities. Only the manufacturer that make and sell the product is liable. It is up to him to negociate with the IP owner for the royalities.
Optical computer is not a mandatory step toward the quantum computer. There is no need to serialize anything here, anyway, I don't believe they will listen at you.
Since the result is an hybrid from BlackBerry acronym and QNX, this was leaving three choices: BBQ, BBN and BBX, none of these were available or appropriate.

Playbook will now cum with a dildo since pricing down wasn't enough and the name of the device would then be plently justified.

Of course he did, he teamed with Khan and relied on him for some parts of the AI course teaching prerequisite maths and probabilistic theory.
