So does Intel. A 2x boost power consumption is pretty standard and Intel often goes beyond that with its turbo.

About your analogy - quantum cloning may not be allowed by laws of nature. That would make any consciousness unique at any point in time. Also I feel the experiment suggests split …

His insinuation seems that crime would immediately (eventually?) spike up once police doesnt have the same financial means. So a citation that says lower police funding correlates …

Not analogous. Sons are practically obligated by family (and indirectly by the immediate society) to marry even against their will for keeping the tradition. Also females were cons…

For 1 because your trading existence in that universe would change the future which you can't account for. Your activity influences decisions of other HFTs in real time whereas wit…

Well not at all scales. Gravity at quantum scales is still not well understood. Also the only way to claim it works as expected at any scale is to test it out. This allows scientis…

Who is everyone that you refer to ? One thing I can certainly say is that US isn't the only one that interferes. China is a growing power with intention to dominate. We're already …

We already have a fairly good auto pilot. The complexity lies in rules of engagement.

Fractional reserve banking is independent of the currency. You can implement a bitcoin fractional banking system if you have trusted party available (the bank) and as long as you c…

That's a strawman argument. Few centuries is a very reasonable timeline to worry about. I know people who have seen close to 3 quarters of a century of their decendants and are min…

It's not a difficult thing to look up. https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/24/politics/fbi-economic-espiona...

A professor speaking anecdotally, sure.

You're saying a person (deranged or otherwise) did what he did without malice towards his fellow humans! That's some seriously warped observation.

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing that. I read Nobel in Economics as 'Nobel in maths (largely statistical optimization) and behavioural psychology'. I personally believe the fie…

> I say this as someone spends a fair chunk of my time reading economics books and blogs. Them credentials!

The net providers and Ajit Pai's would sell it as a 'premium feature' being made available to poor start-ups at a discount. FTC can't go after Amazon for giving out large AWS serve…

It's quite standard political hogwash saying how net neutrality is disincentivising investment. What is really curbing investment is the monopoly of the few network providers. Ther…

How about Comcast put a straight up 10% equity cost for their 'start-up bundle' to use their 'non-substandard' channel? Would you be ok with that?

Haha ... irrational indeed!

I'm not sure you can use 'energy conservation' to determine ideal diet patterns. Everyone should be drinking kerosene otherwise. Cattle can digest fiber and can eat tons of fodder …

> just because you like Clinton better. Upvote for illustrating my point. In your universe there are 2 mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups - Trump people and Clinton people. I…

I never quite understood why a mention of Donald Trump needs to have a comparison of Hillary Clinton along side - and for that reason anyone? He is a vile and despicable human bein…

"British Indian history". That pretty much sums it up. No country should ever have the ignominy of appearing second in its own history. Every Indian wishes the 1857 revolt had snow…

I believe that's how free trade works. US has dominated in technology due to the same effect. But the most important part is when a country chooses to not specialize in something, …

Sure. Basically the guy wronged 5 million people, $100 each. Makes it a significantly greater crime than a comparable mugging of a single victim.
