The source of all real insight is, of course, divinity. True understanding is not generated by the brain but rather received in the Plexus Solaris and then works it's way up to the brain, where it is turned into action,…
I'm wondering how many people in favor of legalization would actually like to see a pot shop in their own street. From my own experience in the Netherlands, these kinds of shops attract a sort of crowd that you would…
> The illegality pushes the price up; You make it sound as if this is a bad thing. I'm having a hard time imagining what benefit will result from making a potent and fairly addictive narcotic cheaper and more available.

I don't understand why AI eliminating jobs is considered a problem. If any job can be done by a computer program it simply means that humanity has outgrown this kind of work and that nobody should do that mindnumbing…
For many computationally hard problems six extra orders of magnitude isn't really going to buy you much.

The idea you can magically "generate" consciousness by running an algorithm is really silly superstition.
install google picasa, collect all photo's in a single folder.
Thread safety. If you write an API never forget that people may want to use it in more than one thread.
Running Powershell scripts that continue after reboot is not exactly the greatest feat.
