    I wonder what the acceptable collisions/delivery needs to be for it to match last mile truck safety level (ie UPS trucks are big and run into things with non-zero frequency)

    Throwing up hands and saying: internalizing the externalized cost is "ridiculously expensive" is not proof it doesn't work. The examples of the a la carte exercise brands reference…

    Burner email services like AnonAddy, iCloud "Hide my email", et al work well for actual receipt but also provide isolation.

    On this topic (parallel postulate), it took ~2000 years from Euclid and then 3 people all came to the same conclusion independently within ~10-20 years. Progress is weird.

    The specific controversy was whether without the parallel/5th postulate, there existed a logical contradiction, i.e. proving the parallel postulate

    Yet, OP is repeating the same logical fallacy: the absence of a result is not a result of absence.

    Making a hard, arbitrary deadline is a pretty extreme thing to do. ie Higgs Boson was a lot longer between theory and experiment than this.

    Non-Euclidean geometry (geometric axioms in which one postulate is rejected such that the 3 angles of a triangle are not exactly 180 degrees) was considered a meaningless word game…

    The legit criticism with a legit recommended change is even better. A time and technological gap always exists between theory and a plan for experimental confirmation. Some gaps ar…

    What's your estimate for hardware costs? You can't get phone+service for $20/month. What if they have limited or poor credit?

    Probably, but it wouldn't be the first time an axe grinding broke a sponsored monopoly.

    It's ~$1/person direct, but how much indirect cost? Things become inexpensive when automation and technological progress makes them so, and the code copyright and restriction is a …

    The bigger issue is software development, imo. eg the IT team at a hospital or the medical office can't build a tool to help coding efficiency or accuracy. Further, public resource…

    This comment is way too far down the page. If the unit tests are slow enough to want to skip them, they likely are not unit tests but some kind of service-level tests or tests that…

    "Swarm intelligence" doesn't seem a very anthrocentric/anthromorphic concept and the swarm coordination across tasks is the interesting aspect of this paper. Do you think this clai…
