Some of us are interested in the theory, not to mention that both the article and the paper contain actual images. It's not the fault of the authors that you didn't bother to read them through.

This is an impressive step forward in image processing - while reconstructing an image from diffuse light seemed plausible in theory, figuring out how to do it in practice is a hard problem. These guys deserve some respect.

Because there are rich people who live a good life, but also want it to last forever.

Seems like neither Google nor Microsoft wants to compete with the other, so they partitioned the PC market with Google getting the mobile part and Microsoft the desktop. Business as usual.

Set up a few antennas that add some noise on the controlling frequencies, problem solved.

True, but there's a third ingredient Ukraine doesn't have: money.

Maybe that's the problem. The schools don't like evidence that bullying is going on there.

I think he is talking mostly about academic research, which doesn't care much about using robots to make our lives easier.

Society advances because each generation gives way to the next one. It's time to pass the torch, old man.

This is not a new technology, and have been under lab testing for a while now. The problem is that what's theoretically unbreakable isn't that secure in practice. Turns out it's quite hard to distinguish between eavesdropping and noise.

Old things get buried over time, it wasn't necessarily the original owner who buried it. As for the why, my guess is that they were used against attackers.

That game already exists.

I'd love to have the problems of that guy who can afford to spend 10000$ a month on a game.

Because no matter what profession they choose, they will work with computers. That's the way the world is going. Teaching them how to use those computers effectively will be a huge advantage to them. For example, most office workers spend their days doing the same repetitive tasks over and over again. Knowing how to write scripts to automate those tasks would be very useful. Teaching the basics of programming isn't equivalent of training them to be developers, it's just showing them how to use the tools they will be working with.

Solitary confinement reduces the harm done to others to pretty much zero, because the prisoner is physically isolated and thus incapable of causing trouble. What other method are speaking of that can guarantee that?

These children wouldn't exactly be like their parents either, that's the point.
