    I wonder what are the mechanical properties of the case material (aluminium foam filled with plastic). This seems like entirely new class of composites.

    That was not my point. My point is that the issue "I don't want to be sexually harassed at work" becomes "I don't want to be sexually harassed at work by unattractive men", but the…

    Rejecting his advances was fine. What disturbed me is that given different circumstances she would have dated him without second thoughts and suddenly "harassment" becomes a health…

    No, I will not post any comment in opposite direction, and neither I will keep silent. If society wants to remove sexual harassment from work environment , then both genders need t…

    >Honestly, I might have considered dating him had he been >less arrogant and less married. Ah, I see. If you are attractive enough, suddenly it is not sexual harassment anymore. I …

    So relatable. I've struggled all my life with loneliness. I had up and down periods, but overall it is the biggest issue in my life.

    To be fair, the lady from TV announcement said that one of the reactors is damaged, which is a really bad thing for nuclear power plant.

    Canada is one of the easiest First World countries to immigrate to. Apply for college -> graduate and find a job -> get residence.

    None of the above is easy, as far I know AVX is one of the most thermally-constrained parts of the CPU. Xeon Phi is the best Intel managed to come with.

    You are suggesting to silence the opinions you don't like, don't you see the problem with this?

    An equivalent of blind or double-blind testing for pitches would make an improvement, I think.

    Our current world can be reasonably described as full-blown cyberpunk scene.

    Fairly interesting genetic live-editing program: http://www.darpa.mil/attachments/IA%20ProposersDay.pdf This program has civilian uses, but can be weaponized easily.

    "It is so obvious it can't work" is a dangerous statement :)

    The point about unfalsifiability is still valid. Even if we can simulate sentient life we still can't prove we ourselves are simulated or not.

    1) you start from Big Bang and go forward. 2) you can at any state check the difference between the simulated state and historical record 3) if your simulation converges, that is t…

    None of the above needs to happen overnight. Who knows what humanity will be capable of in 1000 years? Furthermore, in a strict sense my question would be 'Is it possible to extrac…

    You have to actually compute the simulated state and compare it to known bits of the past state to get the results. Yes, simulating Earth to sufficient precision might require reso…

    I can answer the "why" question. Provided, our descendants will be able to empathize with their ancestors (rather big "if"), they can use the simulation to reverse the death and re…

    It doesn't prevent simulating A universe. You can then compute a difference between the simulated past state and real past state based on (partial) information about the past state…

    Regarding you second point - you don't need to simulate the Universe at 1:1 scale to reliably replicate the past states of a certain region. For example, Earth itself can be simula…
