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 wild. Which is what you want to know if we are going to start

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 conductivity, and manpower.

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 of Genetic information I suspect you could get it to work if

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 from the list of words that you least likely to guess using

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 even require thinks like the company take out life insurance

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 warehouse when something breaks or needs to be repaired. On the o

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.

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 if the old path is comcast > Level 3 > google then

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 service everyone looses so they can make a higher profit fr

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 = 32$ a day or 1.30$ an hour. I do this because I can't wo

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 that the top result is still the 'best' one. And even if you

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 are going to show up eventually in somebody. Which present

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 that trillion on? IMO, R&D would have a much better RO

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 counts as external decoherence. PS: I have no idea if this is p

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.

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 object.

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 locating something in the middle of a long list is much easier w

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 / second / thread. And often it's a question of delayed op

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 is a ghost town.

They have grounds to sue someone that logs into / uses their service using someone else's password even if that person gave them the password. It's also a felony, but the feds rarely take up such cases. It's probably OK for your boss to te

One of the most basic safety measures cars take is to reboot critical systems several times an hour and have mechanical backups so the breaks both work and can overpower the engine. You can't exactly do that with a drone.
