Google is a singular noun. Although it is comprised of a collective of individuals, it is an individual entity. To use a plural, indicating that those collaborating as part of the team effort that Google, The Company…
The of productivity overkill going on in this idea is painful to think about. The world can wait. Fuck it. Just slack off and waste some time. That's what I do. When my eyes feel bad, it's time to destroy an hour of the…
On the other hand, what if you paired it with an Apple Watch running Windows 95?
Oh god, we're talking about overclocking SD cards? I can't wait to see experimental results not only in general, but also in edge case scenarios like when encountering counterfeit hardware.
While the distribution of mass might quickly redistribute itself into a toroidal formation, internally, I think that area of effect (the fuzzy red zone in the diagram) would probably be pretty opaque to visible light.…
Congratulations on replying to me. I'm sure you're feeling good about it. I just wanted to let your know that I noticed, and feel special too.
Only if it stays in the coma.
Okay, rockets that can go very high, can still crash very far away. An unpredictable, malfunctioning rocket could still million-to-one itself onto a school bus filled with children, halfway across a continent.

Unless they have plans to incorporate self-flying cars into the massive campaign to roll out self-driving cars, there's no way 99% of ordinary people can be trusted to safely negotiate flying a heavy piece of equipment…
The point being that Dark Matter doesn't even seem to interact with matter, so why call it any kind of matter. Matter isn't matter unless collisions prove it's occupancy of space. That's pretty much why matter is…
Yeah, yeah, I get it. And I still say that's a non-explanation with a misleading name. There's no proof of material at all, thus not matter, thus no such thing as dark matter. I'd willingly accept other names such as…
Just going to point out that science is filled with garbage theories, and "Dark Matter" certainly feels like one of them. Why not just go back to calling it The Æther? Or mayhap a form of non-luminiferous aether, if I…

So, the T-1000 was not an apparatus made of grey goo?
That math term, "singularity", re-appropriated as a technology hype buzz word, is rooted in a fundamental concept, though, and used to have a specific meaning: unpredictability. In calculus, when you try to graph a…
Okay, but people are gigantic and heavy, and you have to feed them. Also, they usually have to breathe and go poop. They're like hundreds of thousands of grams, and then some, so 70M is less surprising. Sending a…
You've identified that a group of humans will make mistakes, possibly as much as machines, and that's not incorrect. The real hazard, on the other hand, is the unrestrained laziness humans might adopt, once the norm of…
Why do you hate freedom?
Asian giant hornets (Vespa mandarinia) don't seem to be listed in the Schmidt Pain Index yet... I guess, presume it rates at an automatic 4 simply by the capacity for human lethality? ...or maybe just stay tuned, and…
The only scenario, in which DRM makes any sense at all, is B2B patronage. Other businesses probably SHOULD license hobbled, encrypted garbage from provider businesses. It's a use case where a collective group of people…
It's kind of funny, but when you talk to a lot of fellow worker drones, who lack the kind of free will required to accurately describe their own motivations for holding down a job, most will continuously describe…
There's a massive potential problem, in either idea. Passive aggression and resentment. The implicit loathing of a compulsory task. The article is written by a volunteer. She finds the scenario repulsive, because there…
It's when the people stealing the precious moments of your life, take five or sixty minutes out of their busy schedule of not actually working (see: meetings), and dunk your head in the baptismal toilet of despair, and…
It's funny, the whole complaint about the tactic of bundling. This is something that punk and hard core music has done, pretty much since the beginning. Most punk rock discographies are filled with repetitive overlaps…
