Final paragraph makes nebulous claim about highly parallel low power devices being able to do tasks the human brain can.......this has zero to do with any process or structure found in the human or any other animal brain.
Wrong, the extradition treaty between the USA and Sweden does NOT apply if charges made by USA were cyber crime or theft. In fact, the USA could be very creative in making charges that do not apply to the "political" exception the treaty has.
Connectome will be done not in centuries but a decade or less, really that's problem to be solved by automation and computing
However, the 2nd reason, left out of the quote but in the article, has to do with the function rather than physical configuration of synapses and neurons. We don't understand that well at all. And that is probably where the "mind" is.
In this purely fictional and hypothetical scenario the "shelter" will be occupied by unconscious or dead people before fully breached, no worries. Solved problem by the WW II "shock troops"
bullshit, we just don't pay for the freeloaders at all. they'll find gainful employment or starve and die. I don't appreciate people like you taking money out of my pocket, I need to support my family with that, not parasites.
to paraphrase Alice in Dilbert: I don't need to spend the money for a luxury bomb shelter. When civilization ends, I only need guns, burglary tools, and the addresses of luxury bomb shelters
see, there you go. That's exactly what we're talking about, people like you fantasizing about dinosaur's sex organs. Well, that filth might pass here on slashdot but at least amazon is walking the path of censored righteousness.
depends, do you have old encrypted files with weak encryption? best rotate the crop! and if the only place you have the key is your home, guess what happens if your home goes up in smoke?
So, you haven't solved the issue at all, in the sense your data is in hands that can be trusted as far as Glacier can be trusted. Maybe they are trustworthy, or maybe they are in country that makes that impossible.

quite right, the systems that handle your money, insurance, communications, inventories of things your buy, are all admined by rooms of people either clicking and pointing on GUIs or moving holograms in the air with finger gestures or speaking into microphone.
nonsense, it is nice sarcastic title that would have appeared 15+ years ago. And it is tech news and also indicator of strategic direction of Microsoft.
In short, better than 9 out of 10 slashdot articles
Well.... a lot of the handy network and IPC stuff I use appeared in the early 80s.
You can run mainframe programs from the late 60s on a current System Z though. And the Burroughs then Unisys MCP operating system is even older (1961) yet still current!
whereby for this particular application they have put "probes" for specific sequences of all known viruses on "tiles" of a rectangular area. In general, the tech could be used for RNA, DNA, proteins, and more
Wrong, you missed the point entirely. Carbon (and sulphur) pollution of the world has gone UP in the last 30 years, not down. Thus "clean air" laws didn't solve the root problem
you really don't know? the phrase "..writing a check they can't cash..." is old phrase meaning talking or promising grand things but not being able to deliver.
This shows the foolhardiness of trying to legislate clean air. Alternative energy sources is the only real cure; make a set of criteria on paper (emissions levels or carbon credit trading) encourages fraud, and we already know billions of dollars of that kind of fraud is known. How much is unknown? We can trust in the power of the almighty buck and power grubbing scum to know even more is unknown.
We have algae that can turn cellulose grown on scrubland into a direct substitute for gasoline (butanol), we can make biofuel substitute for diesel. But there is no serious investment that way, only token efforts.
Electric cars? maybe, but 65% of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels.
I don't even see the need to argue or worry about the artificial additives of vat brains, the superior taste of cage-free grey matter is reason enough for the discriminating zombie palate.

oh boy my old legacy x86 code will run on the pi arm7 because of the "backwards compatibilty"? wow, that's miraculous!
"Ass" is slang for one's self, used especially in the context of needing to protect or be wary of hazards or risks to one's self.
my goodness I'm over fifty and I'm explaining slang to you?
A couple of my relatives with AIDS visit the rest of the family in southeast asia without incident. That's common. Maybe you have some misconceptions.

No, legislating clean air has not solved the root problem; your air, the world's air, is more polluted NOW than in decades past (carbon dioxide ppm)

No, confiscating wealth from others to artificially support an economically inferior solution is not the answer.
we have certain large fossil fuel corporations with lawmakers in their pockets holding back alternatives and holding back progress.
the really good salespeople and managers know face-to-face is best and irreplaceable. such people will never settle for videoconferencing
