I'm concerned about both. I'm not ashamed of my body but that doesn't mean I want a complete stranger looking at a picture of me naked, no matter how fuzzy.
Given that groundwater is not just freestanding water like a pool, what's the prevent this large piece of material from getting stuck on the dirt around it rather than floating to the top to be skimmed.
The thing is, although you CAN make a computer out of tinker toys, it isn't the most efficient method of accomplishing it. Given that a brain is far more complex than anything humankind has ever produced, it seems presumptuous to assume that our current methods of computation are ideal for the creation of AI. The intention here is to study the relative merits of mimicking neurons as a method of computation vs. our current transistor based designs.
What's the profit margin on an iPhone compared with Nokia smartphones? Include app store profits and Apple is probably ahead. Apple has generally had the model of selling shiny products with fat profit margins.
How long are we going to ignore China's blatant flouting of trade and IP law? Laws don't exist if they are not enforced. The world salivates at the thought of having access to the anticipated Chinese consumer base and keeps letting things slide to not endanger that opportunity. Are they really going to give us access?
They will still be able to continue to sell this with the same exact claims. So long as it's a "supplement" and not a medication, nothing can be done under current regulations. The only thing that would get it removed from shelves if it was proven toxic, and even then maybe not.
The holdbacks you mention are definitely true. But many of the comparisons made with other countries fail to point out just how huge a country america is. Covering that much area is quite a difficult task and involves greater expense. And it isn't just covering blank areas of the map between urban centers. Our cities also have tons of urban sprawl to make the job harder. Don't get me wrong, it's a task that can be accomplished if the telecoms stop their massive massive fail/theft. But the problem to overcome in the states is harder than europe/south korea/japan ect...
People are still willing to pay to go to the movies for the superior screen/sound and crowd experience. Although the impact is far less than they claim, I would imagine pirated movies hurt dvd sales more than box office, at least in the US.
What *does* freak me out is how my credit card company can ask me to confirm my height and weight when I talk to them on the phone, and when I ask them how the f**k they found out how much I weigh, they tell me that by law they're allowed to download all the information from the Department of Transit and so they know everything that's on my drivers license. THAT's the kind of stuff that I find extremely scary, and that's the kind of thing you can't do anything at all to prevent other than living in a shack in the mountains somewhere.
But the sum of all your purchases, searches, emails ect... becomes a very accurate picture of who you are (or your behavior anyway). Google may not have nefarious intentions, but the profile now exists in a form which is not even promised to be private.
Given the experience you had with the data sharing between corporations and government, I'm surprised you don't see the potential negatives. A profile of your whole life and lives of all those around you is just a subpoena away. Maybe less than that.
Not trying to be antagonistic here, but I have to ask. Do you think your co-worker was being paid in-line with the amount of work he was doing? My only fear with this concept is that they may be taken advantage of.
The variance has more to do with the test grading criteria I think. I have heard my professors at my school tell us that women score higher on average, but tend to have less very high scores. Their reasoning is that women tend to be less aggressive and declarative of their opinions in papers. Excellent mastery of the material, less willingness to make very large assertions. Big declarative papers are a gamble. If you get it right, you get a killer score. If you get it wrong, you get a really terrible score.
What happened to women a century back and earlier has precisely nothing to do with the present day.
Do you honestly feel that the bias against females in the workplace or academics has been alleviated? It continues to this day. You can't fault a female for trying to hide their intelligence. A large part of American society still frowns upon the outward expression of intelligence (as many of us here may have experienced) of any kind. For women much more so. This feels like a very glib interpretation of the plight of the women in the modern age.
Criticizing misguided attempts at forcing equality does not mean that inequality does not exist.
There are so many theoretical & methodological problems IQ testing. Any analysis with IQ scores as a data set in inherently flawed. Garbage in, garbage out.

Do drug smugglers use airline smuggling anymore? I presumed the majority was moved in larger quantities across the border these days.
Not all celebrities can afford private jets. Lots of important and famous people do fly in first class.
Depends on the machine. Most of them it works well but on the wrong model you die instantly.

Just throw a few ritalin in there, viola! If you want to go for XTREME overclocking you have to use crystal meth, but you risk overheating.

I think what is important here is not the availability of the resource, but their behavior in controlling it.

I think the answer is quite clear, BAN PHOTOSHOP NOW! Or the terrorists will win

Regardless of any indemnity, a clever tort lawyer has got you at the very least with strict liability.

I'm totally with you on that. I see the harms of the cliff we've fallen off of but realize the futility of flapping our arms.

There was an old russian KGB adage which went something like "everyone has committed a crime, it's about who we decide to prosecute".
Self-diagnosis is so prevalent these days it's ridiculous. Most people with issues that affect their ability to function to do not talk about them.
