We have the raw data on the actual DNA for several people which is what you need to make a copy. What we don't know is what the data means and what all the mutations are in the wil…

Cooling costs often double your direct energy costs. (Your paying for energy, capital costs, and maintenance on the cooling side.) Your also paying for floor space, network conduct…

For fairly simple organisms we have 'cold booted' DNA and swapped a cells DNA with artificial DNA from a closely related organism and it still worked. So, while humans have a lot o…

Cool, but assumes all words have an even probability. Vs a week player the ideal word list should only include 'common' words. Vs an ideal player you need to assume they will pick …

Yep, traditional banks. As long as the revenue is stable enough you don't need a personal guarantee from a traditional bank. They can be just as intrusive as other investors and ev…

I think maintenance costs / downtime is also a big factor. With robots most failures simply reduce throughput but with conveyor belts you risk shutting down sections of the warehou…

Revenue also opens the door for loans which can be a great if dangerous source of funding as you don't give up equity and can still scale slightly ahead of your growth curve.

Talking with friends in the that work at backbone companies. One of the funny stories I remember is the sales people having issues making sure that they actually charged more money…

If your latency is generally a combination of # of routers, physical path, and network congestion between you and the destination. Locally number of hops dominates the latency. So …

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy gave the most succinct advice for how to fly. You fall down and miss the ground. The upon reading this and in the absence of any native examples…

Local Monopolies have little incentive to improve their infrastructure. When you enable them to charge premiums for degrading existing service to carve out 'bandwidth' for premium …

(d) Conservatives are more centralized. Quick, what's the most influential Libral TV station?

Sure, but as someone on salary I tend to find disposable income and then calculate that spread evenly over time. AKA I have 1,000$ this month to spend however I like that's 1000/31…

Google does give up on determinism when they can. Search is a great example, ask 1,000 machines to give their top 10 results and if 5 don't respond in time your still 99.5% sure th…

There are plenty of drugs that work for cancer type A, B, C etc. Unfortunately, there are billions of people in the world all randomly generating Cancer's so all possible mutations…

You can't store electricity so it's mostly pointless to build extra power plants beyond what we are actually using. So, if we don't need more power now what should we be spending t…

I mean build 1,000 tiny devices can preform the two-slit experiment. Repeat the two-slit experiment using those devices as the projectiles. Then see if the internal decoherence cou…

Assuming the limit was close to the average number of take down requests it's reasonable protection to prevent a buggy third party script from harming their site.

(2) The best arrangement of solar cells is always going to be a single tracking array on top of a hill. But, as costs drop the advantage of a tracking system needs to be balanced v…

The more fascinating question for me is can you demonstrate the double slit experiment on something small enough that you can detect the effect in two separate scales with the same…

There is a lot I don't like about Windows 7 phones but I am going to stick with the tile interface because it's the most obviously bad design. Smooth scrolling looks cool, but loca…

I don't think the parent post was suggesting you completely avoid dynamic allocation just minimize it. Because it's not a question of dynamic vs static memory but # of allocations …

Can you be more specific? I found Windows Phone 7 to be terrible as in worse than Android, iPhone, and Blackberry bad. The tile interface falls down vary quickly and the app store …

Windows is not produced by your computer; Windows runs on your computer they are separate concepts. The mind is a vary similar thing, it's an emergent property all the little piece…
