    I was hoping this would happen. It will probably become a EU thing now. The idea of a privately controlled currency needs to die quickly. Never been a fan of crypto currency in gen…

    I don't think it's that easy.. There's numbers.. Systems using missiles can be zerged with disposable decoy drones until they have no ammo or tricked if using thermal tracking. Gun…

    Ha!, yes, what does it mean to understand something? To fully understand an apple you must fully understand the entire evolution of the universe, where it came from and down the ra…

    Buildup of damage due to radiation, chemicals and the like would introduce more errors/damage into offspring.

    In my case 500/500 fiber @ ~$40-45/month, somewhere around $20-25/month for 100/50 4G and something like $60-65 for 1000/1000 fiber. Semi-rural areas are usually not far behind. Wi…

    Well, I do see a lot of potential problems with law enforced using ghettos as an "arrest shop" and the like but that's not really on the technology or your company. In general it's…

    Right, so slap the largest fine on each one. They had 2 years to prepare and obviously didn't. Before the GDPR this would have been stamped "identity theft" putting the company in …

    It's a common thing among adults across the globe though. Well, "imaginary friend" might be pushing it but lots of people let imaginary entities help them understand the world and …

    What will the certification process for the next plane from Boeing look like? The FAA certified a plane that had obvious flaws. From what I understand they out sourced the certific…

    It's a bit odd to go solo in Eve and I'd agree that you probably don't get much out of it. The medium to large PvP side of the game includes a lot of planning and communication tho…

    Thanks for that link. It mentions a postal van lasting a week on one battery stack and testing with full loads. Cynical me says politics and oil industry but manufacturing and logi…

    Both options seem radical. Either penalize success or forcefully take things from people their families have, possibly, owned for generations. If you compensate the owners of the l…

    My teachers skipped past the paintings and went straight for helicopter and grave digging. Strange that it was a sword wielding turtle that got me interested in learning more. I ha…

    If people aren't scared of automation there won't be any political pressure to restrict automation. This will probably increase the adoptation rate so I'd say it matters a lot in t…

    Are they allowed to sell the "fingerprint" packaged with your name to advertising agencies? If so it should only be a matter of time before those Minority Report inspired advertisi…

    No, they need facts, the willingness to learn and the courage to think for themselves. "Guidance" is just another way of saying "my way".

    I always imagined super computer coding being a place where assembly is considered abstract. If you are that close to the hardware then measuring your code in clock cycles does mak…
