Even if some hypothetical species jump were to occur, at the most it could effect one or a few individuals. For a gene drive to work, you need to release a large number of the target species so that a significant fraction of the breeding population will have the modification.
Any mishap with those glasses, such as getting a bit silly and having them shift slightly on your face so that a specular reflection of laser light off of some dust particle in the air reaches your eye, and you are instantly blinded for life. Not a good idea while high.
Actually, emoji might seem frivolous, but I see it as the very beginning of the English language transforming to include pictographs, which is quite interesting. In 100 to 1000 years the language will be quite unrecognizable, I think.
I briefly considered the possibility that they intended to use Knuth up arrow notation with stars instead of arrows (or carrots) but then within about a half a second realized that 10^^10 (or 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10) is wayyyyy more than 10 billion. I've spent too much time pondering G_64 to consider 10^139 to be that unfathomably large. I mean, it is more than a googol, but less than a googolplex, so it can't be that bad.
What I'd like to see is for them to release the API so you can make your own arbitrary things out of cardboard and then program the console to sense and interact with your creations. That would be awesome.
Regarding the problem of wealthy people receiving the UBI, you just have a smaller standard deduction and higher marginal tax rates for each bracket. So everyone gets the UBI, but there would be a level of income where you would be paying more in taxes than the value of the UBI.
The old testament is not a valid historical document. Also, it takes quite a bit of motivated reasoning to think that we are anywhere near pushing maximum human lifespans to 1000 or even 200. Not going to happen. Everyone reading this now will be dead and gone in no less than 115 years. Get over it. To return to the topic, though, the limit should be realistic for purposes of fraud detection. You wouldn't want families going on collecting great-great-grandma's pension long after she is dead. As others have pointed out, it is a design flaw that there is no way of handling edge cases with manual oversight, though.
I got declined for a job. I had a friend who worked there and told me why I was declined. I was completely off base about what I thought was going on. He said it was just one guy who was completely against me since I had given a really bad answer to a technical question he asked. The guy didn't show it at all and he it didn't even register that he had such a huge grudge against me.
That reminds me of a company that I used to work for. The company had been acquired, and everyone was being laid off. We were all given the contents of our personnel files, and in mine was the physical copy of the resume that I had submitted when I originally applied. There was something written at the top in pen, but crossed out fairly thoroughly. Not thoroughly enough, though, because I could still make it out: "Karla doesn't like". Karla was someone that I knew from college who was also one of the people at the hiring interview. Fortunately, it didn't seem to matter that she didn't like me.
The emails were a felony only in your imagination. If the Republicans keep pulling shit like this they will become even more irrelevant in reality than you imagine the other party is.

Many smart phones can have a much stronger password to unlock than a four digit pin. Of course one has to balance convenience with security when considering how strong a password to use for their device, but that is ultimately up to the user.
It would be a nice feature for TouchID to distinguish between your thumb rolled a little to the left vs a little to the right; simply link one gesture to unlock the phone and the other to duress mode.
I was skimming the summery and about halfway through I was thinking they were talking about some device that they plug your thumb drive into and it detects weather it contains porn or not, which is dubious enough; but then I suddenly realized that it was a literal dog named URL (in all caps) and suddenly I couldn't decide which of those two things is stupider.
I'm sure the dog is happy, it doesn't know that its job is total bullshit. Ignorance truly is bliss.
It is fascinating to me that people seem to be advocating that YouTube should force its customers, which are the advertisers; to pay to have their ads placed on videos which the advertisers perceive as a bad juxtaposition with their ads. Do you really think that Pepsi wants to have their product associated with a video titled "Leaked Video of SJW LOSING IT Blows Up In Her Face"?
Look, it's simple. YouTube content creators are not entitled to monetization through YouTube's advertising system. They can still post their videos for free and YouTube will pay for all the bandwidth for serving their video. They are also free to monetize their videos in other ways. Patreon is probably a good fit for video creators with large fan bases and controversial content. They can also still find their own sponsors, but I object to the idea that sponsors should be forced to be associated with any and all videos on YouTube regardless of content.
Eli points out one problem, though, which is that YouTube makes it hard for people to find out what the rules actually are. It would be nice if they could be make things more transparent.
Good lord. If your priority is to avoid public restrooms, then that would rule out doing anything outside the house. Hardly a problem particular to Broadway Theater.

Why should I be able to sell a copy of Hamlet to you without having to give William Shakespeare's heirs their cut?
Why should I be able to sell a copy of Moby-Dick to you without having to give Herman Melville's heirs their cut?
Why should I be able to sell a copy of The Tale of Genji to you without having to give Murasaki Shikibu's heirs their cut?
Why should I be able to sell a copy of Charade (1963) to you without having to give Stanley Donen his cut?
I'm siding with the self proclaimed turbine engineer.

If all companies get breached, then no company should be allowed to keep data on a scale like that that can be so damaging if it gets stolen.
It's worth noting that Farnsworth also invented the only device to achieve Nuclear Fusion that has ever been commercially produced.
Hardly a neutral point of view, there

She was married to PGA Tour pro Arnold Palmer...
False. I could link to wikipedia, but seriously, if you feel the need to look it up yourself, that is easy enough.

Good lord no, just a personality conflict which I was entirely oblivious to.

You can disallow cellular data on an app-by-app basis.
Is your latest version more than five years old?
Each update you do will have new code, which would be a new copyright. The freeloaders would have to use a five year old version.
This is a good incentive for you to keep working.
Yes, feature phones can explode.

Here are a couple of videos on the topic that give some context:

Yes, but there is an upper bound that can only be approached asymptotically, even with arbitrarily large amounts of money.
