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 brains would most likely become 2 very different (new?) enti

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 to higher crime (specifically at current levels of police f

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 considered unfit to get married after a certain (very young) age

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 with a static history you're claiming to be able to t

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 scientists to claim that the theory checks out at this scale too.

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 aware of the cyber attacks that have originated f

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 consider bitcoins to be homogeneous. Although it'll be f

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 mindful of how their decisions affected their youngest.

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 field adds significant value to society. That said, I

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 servers to start ups for some equity.

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. There are a lot of net-neutral countries in the world with

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?

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 to extract sufficient protein - both of which

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 being and the fact that a big fraction of US voted for him doesn

"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 snowballed to freedom.

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, they have the ability to specialize in something else.

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

Actually these high energy particles tend to be order of size of proton or less - so make that 6 orders of magnitude smaller than smallest transistor.

An alpha particle for instance is atleast an order of magnitude smaller than smallest transistor. The maximum damage it can do is effectively 1 bit.

That space program is a revenue making venture - so don't worry about India - we can travel to space just fine without burning a hole in our pockets. Can you ?

by apoorvkumar 9y ago
Because Indians are smart enough to realize that it's better to fund those slippers using an uber-successful space program than to tax people or asking the reserve to print more currency.

I think the author implies that 9 (unique) crashes are with limited number of executions due to slow speed. Besides, all 1800+ crashes might not be unique.
