I'm not particularly worried about the CO2 that this would generate, compared to the water vapor that it will also generate. Since (as already pointed out) much of the mass of the garbage is water, we'll be dumping a lot of water vapor into the atmosphere. Water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas in its own right.
Also, there were plans to do something similar to this near Sierra Vista, AZ a while back. Because this is an incinerator with or without the "magic lightning bolt," albeit a faster and more efficient incinerator than normal, it was knocked down by environmentalists in the area.
What I want to know is when Montana will get one. I want this.
While it's true that people shoudln't be putting private info online and expecting it to remain private, it's also true that those same dumb folk who do so are a part of facebook's community. There's nothing wrong with asking for changes to a service, and even less wrong with the people who provide that service changing it based on what their customers want. So people are dumb. Big deal. Facebook is listening to its customers.
Really? 'cause my Vex robot has a programmable microcontroller on it. In fact, the box for the programming kit was right above the "starter set." Isn't that odd?
Ogre Battle (at least, Ogre Battle 64) does this, too. Human characters begin as either a male or a female; then, depending on how they are played, you can change them to different classes. Unfortunately the main character is stuck as a sword-using knight type, as are most of his friends.
not necessarily for his typical genius mathematician nutty professor image (from which this behavior seems to stem; see Einstein's quick switch from young stud to crazy haired geek, on purpose), but because of the interest it seems to be reawakening in Mathematics.
I saw "Serenity" twice; then I went back home to my podunk little home town and showed my copy to all the web-illiterate rednecks there. Then they bought it. Know why? 'Cause it was a good movie, damnit. SoaP is a joke, only not enough people are in on it.
Poker is only one of many double-blind, "real-world" games out there. I like the idea of making an AI learn poker (poker masters are more like human beings than chess masters, certainly), but it is my humble opinion that Kriegspiel is where it's really at.
Solving sudoku with an ai was 1 (one) small part of the final project that the smallest, second-to-dumbest team in my freshman-level java class took on. In their final presentation, they said that the "hint" button (which would solve completely if repeatedly pressed) was the easiest part. The hardest part was making the buttons work. My school isn't exactly MIT.
Forget the origins of the moon. The moon's here. What I find interesting is that they're mapping the elements on the moon, and where they are. This gives us a map of where to go mine. They already said they found iron; eventually, someone will find a way to make moon mining more monetarily motivational.
While I believe, definitely, that it has to take work to master something, and that work is the defining characteristic of a grand master, it's also important to have some inborn ability. You can't be a chess master or genius mathematician or amazing athlete without some genetic preponderance toward intelligence or coordination or speed. This becomes extremely evident in bodybuilding; genetic makeup matters big time. Yes, I realize the article is focused on intellectual pursuits, but the same thing is still true.
I don't care about dolphins. Like, at all. Shrimp don't taste good. They can go extinct if they don't fit the new environment, no matter whose fault it is.
You pay for use of the sewer. If the government didn't build (and monopolize) a sewer system, someone else would, and they'd make money from it. Hell, in rural areas, private (one-household) waste disposal is necessary.
Just try to dig a privately run sewer system, and see how far you get before the government stops you.
If "humanity as a whole" benifits from such a technology, then the person who develops the technology can turn a profit. Out of curiousity, can you point to such a situation?
Grandparent's point wasn't that DARPA Grand Challenge is altruism; his point was that it was successful. This, on the other hand, failed, even though it was supposedly an altruistic project.
I work at Home Depot, as a cashier. I can back up all of parent's statements; people lose about fifty IQ points when faced with the self checkout. That's why ours have a cashier supervising them.
Think about it. When you're in the self-checkout, you're focused on getting things done, scanning your items (or staring at the barcode wondering what's wrong); when you're at a regular cashier, he's the one doing the work. You sit there and... what? Look around, listen to his dumb jokes, and (more importantly) notice the overpriced altoid knock-offs and useless 37-cent clamps.
That, or it could have something to do with the fact that there usually aren't any impulse items right next to (or in front of) the self check-out registers. Just maybe.
We know this animal from a single fossil; why do we think it flew? Not trying to troll, but the bone structure evident in that illustration looks perfectly suitable as a land animal, and kinda iffy as a flyer.
No, no, see, this whole thing is a conspiracy, too. There is no reflector array on the moon, the scientists are lying to us. All the footage of "laser pulses" is faked in a Fox News studio.
This particular die-hard capitalist, along with several others, have as much disdain for the regard in which graduate/postgraduate degrees are held as you do.
I'm a cashier, so I stand all day at my job, and I have mild scoliosis. I'm very much looking foreward to finishing my degree so that I can have a sit-down job at my computer, thank you very much.

That is all.

This would be good ai research why?

"The State," synonym "Leviathan," synonym "Government." Any government.

And here all this time I thought that persistent recurrent deja vu was an indication of my latent psychic powers.

Engage in violent acts a la Stephen King's Roadwork. That'll show 'em.
The greeks lost at Thermopylae; a better example would be the Battle of Salamis.
That comment would be more insightful if Wright hadn't explicitly said that that was exactly the idea.
