Ain't no one going to Mars. The radiation and gravity differences alone will kill you. We have evolved to live on Earth in its gravity and biosphere. No amount of scifi is going to fix that. Welcome to Earth and enjoy your stay because you aren't going to go anywhere else.
It isn't an attack. It is just a comment. Basically you are saying that the NASA scientists (you can look at their bios) didn't consider the core concept of their study (the radiation blast wasn't anything like what you would get from travelling to Mars)? So do you think they are incompetent? What is your explanation?
So basically you are saying that the NASA people (who actually have been in space) did the basic key concept of their study wrong, and you (who have never been in space) figured it out.
There are some other minor things: food, water, distance, gravity difference. Have no fear though: the Space Nutters have a solution for all of those problems and they have a blog to prove it too!
Current versions of Google Chrome use 66% or more memory than they should. I guess no one noticed for years. But now the engineers are going to get to work.
You are kidding right? This could be done with a simple python script. It is just spewing text messages back from a file, probably with random() thrown in. "Digital estate"? How fucking pretentious.
Stop with this "AI" bullshit. We don't have AI, and we probably never will with the way computing is going. And no, chess playing computers and "deep learning" isn't AI even though the hypesters and people wishing for VC funs fervently try to fool the ignorant into thinking it is.
The "science" behind fMRI has been debunked even though "researchers" still cling to it. Why do people keep pushing these dubious studies? Of course the study isn't wrong: the conclusion MAY BE right, or it MAY BE wrong. What a waste.
This is what open source is all about: company with billions of dollars in cash asks the open source community to work on their code for free. Nice job Google! I am off to check it out!
Didn't you read the story about the Uber autonomous cars which are driving around in Pittsburgh right now? Disregard the fact that they actually have TWO drivers in them. The future is NOW and is only going to get better!
Why do people call these Google cars "driverless" when they have a driver in them (sometimes two)? Truly puzzling. Why not just eliminate the driver and let the car drive around by itself?
So the Google cars can drive from say Camden to Brooklyn without any intervention? The only Google cars I have seen are in Mountain View, CA and they all have people in the drivers seat. Why is that? Why aren't we seeing Google cars everywhere driving around? Why only these carefully selected areas like Austin and Mountain View?
You would think it would be illegal to drive that far under the speed limit. The good news is due to Moores Law we can expect ever increasing processor power which will allow the autonomous cars to process more information which will lead to faster speeds and make it even safer.

Why would you want to have to click a button to start a video advertisement when it can play automatically? Truly puzzling.

How about you stop wasting MY taxpayer money on this boondoggle and join us back on Earth? You aren't going to Mars. No one is.

...they want a carbon free steady power source that works no matter if it is cloudy out or not. I heard in the UK it gets cloudy. Maybe just a rumour.
Nice sig.

Um, no. Those are COMPUTER PROGRAMS running algorithms. Jesus Christ! AI Nutters.
What are these people thinking? You can't use emacs on Mars! Plus it is no place to raise your kids.

No. Moore's law is dead and has been for some time.
I'm sure if you give them another grant they will study it further and make it "mostly conclusive"

Yeah I am sure the guys who killed 90 in Paris were the fault of Reagan letting the loonies out. You must be one of them.
I did hear that terrorists hate our freedoms.
Every terrorist that has been killed has had an iPhone. The only logical conclusion is that iPhones make you a terrorist.
