Lynk is a messaging app that uses Bluetooth to identify all other users around you and lets you direct message them or create group chats of any size. It's not anonymous or mass group like Firechat, so you can tune in to trust-worthy s

This article does nothing to convince me that singing or playing math games with my young kids has a causal link to better math, science, or reading performance. Those both seem like signs of parents who are generally involved and likely co

Any citations for this? I can buy that this is the case for some jobs, from some school districts, for many students, across a certain distribution of grades, some number of years after graduation. I have a hard time believing that a D stud

Same with the iPhone 4s, though it tried to download the .js file first and didn't start working until I hit back. Load time was also much longer on the iPhone 4 over the same connection. Low framerate is hard to play through :/

I built a somewhat similar product http://www.dexy.tv but it only links to 'legit' content (netflix, hulu, amazon, etc). nddrylliog, send me an email if you're interested in potentially collaborating so you can list both kinds of content.

Without patents, drug research and development would have to be nationalized. The costs are enormous and drug prices drop 90% in the US after patent expiration. I would rather have new drugs and high prices for a few years than no new drugs

I'm not sure if I exactly understand your solution. Would you be lightly squishing the contents of the bag with the spring plates while sealing the front? It also seems possible that manufacturers wouldn't want chip bags to look comparative

The article didn't actually give any evidence as to why Opsware was a bad purchase for HP, and according the comments in the article the product still exists and has simply been rebranded. I suppose I was trying to imply with the $1.6bn pri

Some jobs are better suited to learning than others. Whether it's working at a public library, being a night-shift security guard, or any other job that would allow you access to a computer (having persistent internet isn't even necessary).

This may seem like another one of those trite responses you mentioned, but I would second the notion that "you can do anything you put your mind to" and that you should keep up the program, or at least keep learning CS on your own. If you l

I don't mean discussing it, I mean that doing it would be. In particular, it seems like a dramatic length to me because an outside entity would never be able to tell the difference between your theoretical swap and a 'standard' upload/copy

It's all pretty theoretical at the moment, as is all of quantum computing. No quantum computer with more than a few qubits has been made, and none that are actually faster at any given task than a standard cpu. It seems that practically thi

You can use fewer photons/electrons/etc to transmit the same amount of information. A qubit's state is a continuum (a superposition) instead of just on or off. If you can entangle qubits with just one photon, you're effectively transmitting

Nothing that you would consider usable information, referred to as 'classical information', can be transmitted via quantum entanglement. There is 'quantum information' in the state of the entangled particles that can be transferred instanta

The article may be misleading to those not familiar with quantum teleportation. It doesn't have anything to do with instant messages across the galaxy. "That means it would be possible to build a network of 'quantum repeaters' that use quan

You're perfectly entitled to feel that way. There's no objective set of human incentives/desires and everybody is entitled to his/her own utility function. For me, I'm too curious about what the future will bring to die now or any time soon

Amazing the lengths we'll go to just to satisfy our simple evolutionary incentive to live, no matter how ludicrous from an outside perspective :)

The notion of so-called uploading is an interesting one. From a philosophical and practical point of view, I think it's actually pretty simple. If you uploaded my brain into a robot and we both woke up, he'd say he was the real me and I'd s

If you become an unproductive drain on society, yes that would be bad. Otherwise there's no such thing as 'spots'. The whole point of extending human life is to maintain youth-like or better functionality. If you can't think of a way to enj
