  1. Re: 90% = shit on Algorithm Can Identify Suicidal People Using Brain Scans (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    I do see merit in this. People who commit suicide have eroded a control in their minds, or never possessed it in the first place. Words like death, dying, graphical images etc lose all meaning with the right conditioning. Think of it like taking the safety catch off a pistol. All someone needs to do now is to pull the trigger.

    They're just preparing supporting material for their Frame Shift Drives (http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Frame_Shift_Drive). Pretty soon you'll be able to hail an Uber to get there.

    Does everyone who does want to view footage of me as I have nothing to hide, have nothing to hide?

  4. I can see you are having hardware issues. Can I suggest some v1@gra pills from the prince of nigeria?

  5. Speaking of games and nanotech awesomeness, I loved Anarchy online's take on Nano bots. As nanobots were ubiquitous on the planet, a special caste of character was used to hacking other nano bot networks, and basically performing magic. Even the engineers leveraged the bots to create stuff.

    Although it sounds crazy now, there will be a day when we can throw a bunch of lawn clippings in a pile, and get a pile of synthesized meat appearing. We won't have the concept of rubbish anymore, as literally everything would be recycled.

    Shaping and redesigning our bodies as we see fit. Would we be morally imposing standards on narcotics, if the damage that was done could easily be repaired? Our bodies would become practically immortal as micro damage would constant be sorted out.

    It would be a very exciting post scarcity world.

  8. Re:Sweet news! on Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The real problem is the mindset of "near enough" is "good enough". Few strive for perfection these days, and it has sweeping effects over society. The race to the bottom of cost, to make things cheap, and to maximise profit result in a wide sweeping tragedy of commons. Einstein said that things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. The same applies to economics, things should be made as cheap as possible, but no cheaper.

    We hear the CEO of Tata Consulting Services, Amit Bajaj, talking about how Jugaad should be adopted by Europe. https://www.euractiv.com/secti...

    How can we expect a first world society with third world thinking?
