I've long wondered the same thing, but for that to be true, the antimatter would have to be outside our observational universe; otherwise, we would detect the matter-antimatter collisions.
One way to effectively accomplish the same thing without affecting freedom of speech is to assign copyrights of an electronic image where a naked person is the primary focus of the recording to the naked person. Then it becomes a copyright issue and not a free speech issue (that is, if you don't consider copyright to be a free speech abrogation!). This shouldn't affect normal porn since the actor would presumably agree to assign the copyright over to the business or photographer for a fee.
Now, sex acts would probably constitute a joint work, and would be fair game for either party to publish (although royalties, if existing, would be shared), but that means that one party would have to be willing to upload emself to the revenge porn site. Fine, if you wanna do that.
From the summary, it sounds like this theory is saying that a quantum computer is useless, or that it cannot be scaled up, because something in quantum mechanics is preventing a quantum computer from efficiently calculating an NP problem.
But it asks the question, what is the reason for this computational limit? It's not like atoms are actually using computer algorithms to calculate their behavior.
This estimate seems to based on natural reproduction and natural selection of sexual partners. The first interstellar colony would be anything but natural. Clones, genetically altered humans, controlled mutations...
In the first article, the graph shows that agricultural yields for the North mostly increase. South of the Tropic of Cancer, not so lucky..., but we all know that they don't really get a say in anything.
That's just an excuse. A lot of people in poor countries do give a fuck, and (accurately) blame the West for most of climate change. China is not a role model, but they are making substantial investments in alternative energies. Unless you are in China, they are just a distraction from local efforts. Climate change is not some binary switch. Incremental improvements will reduce the impact, even if major devastation is unavoidable.
I think there are enough people interested in meaningful pollution regulation, but first it's necessary to get coal money out of the pockets of politicians.
They are leveling the field for bankers and brokers, but it would be nice to level the field for everyone, and let me personally buy stock without getting screwed by some broker.
Hmm. We would probably send robots ahead of us to prepare the colony for when we arrived. An all AI crew could travel substantially faster than any human crew could, and would have plenty of time to get things started. But, just imagine...
By the time the humans arrive, the robots could have developed a vast interstellar empire. They may or may not welcome the human colonists, who are beyond primitive by comparison.
It's not quite that simple. The robot will have fairly consistent quality and will never go on strike, but might break down for some reason, requiring expensive service. The human might slack or complain, but is easily replaced if ze breaks down.
to play the devil's advocate.. Who would pay for scientific surveys of alternative medicines? It costs like 5 G$ to develop a drug. I imagine the actual trial stage costs much less, but probably still millions. You can't exactly patent an herb.
Because people like you are scaring away sales from women, various ethnic groups, and gay people. If people like you would stay away from the chat rooms it wouldn't be a problem.
Come on... this is just easy to pick apart. It's not misogynist to have women avatars in combat. It's misogynist to have all the women in combat dressed in battle thongs.

Exchanges could easily make HFT unviable if they wanted to. But why would a private exchange ever want to do that?
TFA says 70 barrels, not gallons. A barrel is 31.5 gallons.

We are a longer way off from interstellar colonization.
More likely, you move 0 adults along with thousands of sperm and eggs, who will be conceived and hatched by robots.

The problem here isn't a trust between Comcast and Time Warner. Rather, the problem is a trust between Comcast/Time Warner and the local government.

It could maybe make an interesting short.
Big things cost more. There's probably an optimal size.
Hacking a password = jailtime
Forcing a password out of someone = give that guy a job as a cop
The parent can opt to home school the kid.
Depending on your time management skills, work ethic, and class load you can do your homework at school.
Class load varies so much with school. Some schools are massive babysitting institutions. Others grind you to tears.
Price has to do with power which is a function of supply and demand and other factors.

A terrafoam house is probably nicer than what most poor people have today.
The telemarketers question needs to be rephrased: likeliness of robots not being replaced by humans in the next 20 years.

If this was the address of an abortion doctor or an animal researcher, this free speech would be deemed terrorism.
