"Actual estimate US wealth distribution plotted against the..."IDEAL" distribution"
"Ideal" ? L the effing OL Whose ideal? Not disclosed. I bet AC's do not allow their lives to be dictated by some anonymous, distant, theoretician 'distributor's' opinion of ideal balance.
Dear God, let's hope it's a poor attempt at humor. For my friends living there now, it's a case of comedic "too soon" for joking about the horrors of the past.
I mean, hell, the very basis for the information paradox springs about precisely because virtual particles are created, presumably with information, out of nothing. And they're otherwise destroyed through annihilation into nothing if not near a black hole.
In short, it all seems a non-sequitur.
Again, as an obvious non-physicist, I think this is exactly why the models break down at t=10^-32 seconds or thereabouts... all the information of the Big Bang theoretically fits into the current information theory, but breaks down at the 'singularity'.
And I also think that the 'nothing' from which virtual particles emerge and subsequently disappear, is not 'nothing' in the sense of absolute nothing. There are fields and energies in the vacuum, so there is always something.
Again, showing my abject ignorance, but these questions are why physicists are so excited about seemingly obscure problems mentioned in The Fine Summary. The preservation of information, the initial conditions preceding the Big Bang, and reconciling non-determinism with information theory... all fascinating stuff.
Obvious non-physicist here, but in absolute terms, information theory says that the original systems' (ice sculptures) information -- every particle's directions etc. was not destroyed, though it may be terribly difficult to ascertain by us at a later time.
I don't pretend to understand why, but the fundamental premise is that information is a conserved property.
Whatever the supposed ST politics / economics, it was a system that the Picards to keep a vast private family estate for hundreds of years. So there's no "money," but they have private property so, huh?
Roddenberry lived a lot like the Picard family IRL, so whatever his alleged socialist sympathies, he lived the free market.
iMaginary : iMagine the possibilities of magical code.
Featuring the patented iMaginary Natural Language Authoring (TM) which allows you to just tell iMaginary what application you want, followed by the command "Make It So"... And your application is ready instantly, and It Just Works.TM
Include whatever features are on your wishlist, with "Unlimited Adjective Parameters TM" to enhance the final product, such as "Run Really Fast" for code that just executes at light speed. Or say, "It Needs to be Really Secure" for an application that is simply unhackable by anyone, anywhere, forever.
Great. More industrial hardware issues. What code was it running, and have you considered decentralizing the peer-to-peer supply chain of software vendors to build a distributed fix?
A human programmer cannot possibly think of every possible situation a car might encounter on the street and pre-program an appropriate response.
I watched a talk by a Google self-driving car engineer; the funniest moment (and an example of your point about pre-programming) was the video showing the time when a Google car came across a woman driving a motorized wheelchair around chasing ducks in the middle of the street.
Sorry for your loss, that's unimaginable for many of us who've never faced that kind of helplessness. It would be amazing if this solution could spare families of the future from such tragedies. How great to know that at some date ahead, we can announce that a specific patient was the last such loss to occur.
You have 36 hours (+/- depending on municipal law) to report your vehicle has been stolen. So let's say they keep a searchable database for 36 hours then the data is automatically deleted (permanently, using the Hillary Wipe Algorithm if it proves effective).
Let's assume the temporary internship pays money. Then I would stand by my general point and amend the comment to say, "...he parlayed a temp job that he clearly did not want (based on his public actions against FB) into millions of dollars worth of PR toward a future, permanent, high-paying career position in IT security".

Of course, the ironic thing is the article is not written in the world's alternative history native German. USA! USA! USA!

About time we had a decent contest around here to liven things up.

100% of participants also did not get lap dances from a Kardashian.
Causation, correlation, or conspiracy? Choose your own adventure.
That's a huge relief - my smartphone is apparently perfectly safe, no malware or anything, nobody trying to track me. Thank goodness for America!
Sure, your tin can is safe, but who knows where that string goes once it leaves your window?
Plus, no LTE.
Yeah, virgin lifestyle is pretty much unaffected by this breakthrough.
Like they say, don't think of it as a "virgin lifestyle," think of it as "recursive iso-monogamy."
The code will just write itself!
Yes, using the latest language: iMaginary TM

Why don't you post with your account?
Why don't you get naked, climb a chain link fence, and gash your nutsac open when you swing your leg over the top?

73% of all statistics are made up.
And the other half are poorly understood.
