What’s “high”? Screenwriters often get the scale wrong, so begin with this fact: the lower the number, the higher the worry. DEFCON 5 is peacetime, while DEFCON 1 is imminent war.
Like most members of America's elite, I will be using my BitInstant card to buy tulips since it's safer than gold. In the movies, people are always trying to break into Fort Knox. You never see them rob florists.
Did you see the customer review? It's great:
"Such good value, I bought two of them. One to use for my TV, one to tie the dog up to the gate when she is outside."
Robots either need very different safety rules or they need systems developed to make them respond more like humans (the people in the article seem to be working on such a system).
If only there were some sort of code of conduct, or better yet, Law of Robotics we could apply to keep people safe. Unfortunately, nobody's ever come up with a set.
No, it's not; Yakov and the Simpsons are never obligatory. Nobody's making you post it. Maybe if they gave you money to do so like in TFA, you should feel compelled. Otherwise, it's really not that funny.
Exactly. People seem to forget that power drain and energy consumption are not the same thing - power consumption is in energy consumed per some amount of time. For a completely unrelated example: If you run a 30 W load over 1 second, it will use 30 joules of energy (because a 1 W power draw means it consumes 1 J per second). But if you run a 500 W load over 1/100 sec, you'll only use 5 J of energy. Batteries store energy, not power, so what is likely to be more important for mobile platforms is which one used the least amount of energy over the time span of the test, not comparing peak power or power in short bursts of activity.
That is, if you're concerned about battery life. Peak power might play a bigger role in talking about current load and CPU/battery temperature issues.
Wow, the SimCity games are some of my most fondly remembered games. I played all of them to death except SC4 because I didn't like it at first. Eventually it grew on me. I remember greatly anticipating SC3k's release and rushing out to the store and buying it. Hell, it had some of the best music of any video game I've ever played.
And now they think they can move away from "realistic urban simulator" and expect a die-hard fan like me to take them seriously? Well, the term is "die-hard", not "die-impossible"... and I think they just killed me.
If it is second to the great storm of 1958 (need I remind you that we lived through it?), then what's the big deal besides a greater reliance on technology these days? If it were 5 times stronger than the '58 storm, then I could see a concern arising.
Only thing I can think of is the smaller features in electronics lending themselves to higher susceptibility to cosmic radiation than before.

You know damn well he's not going to bother looking up what a hair shirt is.
IIRC, that 50k median income stat you mentioned is median *household* income. Median individual (personal) income is closer to 30k.
Sometimes you have to wade through tons of mediocre Slashdot comments to find diamonds in the rough like this.
And over a distance of 37 Kelvin-Mega!
Science really does push the boundaries of what I thought possible.
Actually Defcon 1 is peace, and Defcon 5 is war. War Games got that wrong along with most other cold war films.
Nope, DEFCON1 is imminent war, while DEFCON 5 is peacetime readiness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I wanted to also mod this as offtopic, but then I began to wonder if tongxili knows someone is spoofing his name.
And he's got big balls / And she's got big balls / (But we've got the biggest balls of them all)
He's saying "This" as shorthand for "I agree with this" or "you can say that (this) again". It's pretty stupid and annoying, if you ask me.
Amazing. I demand to see the word "bitcoincidence" used any time Bitcoin is now referenced.
And likely just a *little* too early to blame Nikola Tesla... if we would have had any conspiracy theorists left.

The Segway, just as was originally predicted.
We have safety rules to deal with this.

Where's your 99% statistic coming from? I doubt many slaves and former slaves had much access to education.
You'd better have a good way of proving it, because my working hypothesis is that the server was just very slow.
