Dr Chun, Can you comment on the potential of machine learning? Is it theoretically possible for a "naive" AI system to undergo great qualitiative changes simply through learning? Or is this notion a fallacy? Although it is an attractive concept, no one in AI has pulled it off despite several decades of research.
Self driving cabs will eventually displace both traditional taxi drivers and Uber. The drivers can make as much fuss as they want, but they've only got another 20 years tops before they all become irrelevant.
You can't be loyal to the company and not put in boatloads of overtime. Doesn't matter if you're gettting anything accomplished; the company is the be-all end-all and deserves the blood sacrifice.
1. It is fun to spy on others. It is not fun to be spied upon.
2. You exert power and authority by spying on others, and by forcing them to accept surveillance.
3. People, if they know someone's spying on them, will find ways to thwart or subvert surveillance. Spying then becomes an arms race between those who want to observe and those who resist being observed.
No way. With Earth's heavy, thick atmosphere, boiling-hot average temperature and lack of life-giving ultraviolet rays, life there would be impossible.
We don't even know if calorie restriction works in humans (not enough people have been starving themselves for long enough to tell)
With billions of people and many, many different kinds of diet, you'd think there'd be more than enough data to validate or falsify CR for humans. For example, prisoners fed near-starvation diets have not been observed to live an extra 50 years.
As with red light cameras/speeding cameras, car tracking data can be a source of income by state/local gov't. The Feds have restricted the sale of DMV data, so governments are looking for alternatives.

Cripes!! They could at least have thrown a tarp over it....

"Not even wrong."
Sorry! Antimatter has positive mass. Now go look for stuff with negative mass. Thanks!
In related news, Odin will become a transgender drag queen with a flair for theatrics. Loki, however, will remain low-key.
Just give me the blow by blow account.
It's DOS all the way down...

0.1% of lightspeed is only about 20 times faster than Voyager 1 is currently moving
Current speed of Voyager 1 is about 62,000 kph, or 0.0017 percent of the speed of light. 20x that is 0.035 percent of the speed of light.
Can anyone even drive the thing, or does it take specialized training?

The current season of 24 could be cut short if the US gov't simply landed the drones....

If the technology depends on ultracooled atoms, how's a smartphone supposed to keep them cool?
No way. With Earth's heavy, thick atmosphere, boiling-hot average temperature and lack of life-giving ultraviolet rays, life there would be impossible.
It's pretty amazing to me that they count every electron on a particle," Shinbrot says.
Millikan did that in 1909.

ISPs hold their collective breath until they turn purple and die, new ISPs take their place.
How 'bout a completely open-source fork?
Bit rate != compression ratio. You can use 256kbps to carry well-engineered sound or over-compressed pop crap. The bits don't care.

An extremely loud air horn, such as those used on locomotives, sounded repeatedly, might get the point across to errant cyclists.
