With comparative advantage, even if you do better at both things than everybody else, the world derives more benefit if you do most of what you're absolutely best at, even if you're better at everything compared to everybody else
Also, what would be the demand for such batteries if Tesla stopped manufacturing cars?
There is some evidence that consciousness is an illusion, and that people make decisions unconsciously, and then rationalize them after the fact [about.com].
But how could we rationalize about stuff if we weren't conscious?
Slashdot Mirror
And has he posted it countless times?
Ever try doing math in PowerPoint?
At least in my school, using the American English was considered an error.
And what school was this?
But then who will make/pilot the drones?
There were C compilers before GCC, but were there free C compilers before GCC. Stallman had sought such a compiler, but he was unable to find one.
Someone else would have written some other C compiler in response to some other bureaucratic stunt.
So a free C compiler would have happened? Doesn't that make you the Whig? Also, Coherent was proprietary, so would it have had a free C compiler?

Captain Renault: I am shocked to find that espionage occurs in this establishment.
Minion: Here are your data, sir.
Mozilla proved more successfull because it was DRM intollerant.
I thought Mozilla was more successful because it ran on Linux.
The Free Software Foundation want's Mozilla to stop enabling companies from taking away control from the user.
Even if Mozilla did not support DRM, other browser makers would sufficiently enable companies to take away control from users.
And if he never existed, who would have written GCC? And without GCC, how would free software development have gone?

FTFY..
Is Turing computability sufficient for your purposes?
Hint: Pi is a computable number.
Only under a certain use of "computable". Will we have arbitrarily long periods of time to get sufficiently good approximations?
I would say that the font distinguishes the post, but not in a good way.
OMG did you just put Al Franken and Rand Paul in the same sentence?
No, machineghost put "Al Franken" and "Rand Paul" in the same sentence.
NSA apologist trope #57: [insert foreign country that has no 4th amendment] routinely does the same thing we do.
Does the Fourth Amendment apply to the NSA's spying on foreigners?
Yes, but those don't always have the real-time demands of driving.
Rules of the road are supposed to form our expectations of what traffic will do, because they are supposed to determine what the traffic will do.
So now we have to adjust to fifty (forty-eight?) sets of laws?
As Jefferson would say, only eternal vigilance can protect us.
Quantum mechanics can be approximated by Turing machines, but I'm not sure if the integrals can be exactly evaluated by Turing machines.
Apache doesn't start if networking is down.
What if just want to run Apache locally (to test web apps)?
What algorithm do we have for computing pi? Hint: Infinite series are not computable.
Are brains Turing machines?
