Do charlatans have a right to stir up fear to enrich themselves via books and useless substitutes, with no evidence of a problem whatsoever and tons of evidence in safety?

Pardon me, I have to go buy gluten-free cheeseburger buns. It must be a valid concern, right? Also, I am getting a vaccine without thimerosol or adjuvants, whew!

Stop posting all those Windows 10 OMG!!! threads.

Just wait for little quiet dragonfly drones, which you won't notice, can't hear unless close, and ability to crawl into cracks.

I am sure government has these already, and not just at prototype stage we see on science articles from time to time.

But if this happened...

Methinks you would be all...

with self-righteous fury.

It's just another thing for people to wipe before shutdown.

The goal of being able to solve NP-hard or NP-Complete problems with quantum computers is similar to being able to travel to the moon, mars or deeper into space with rockets.

I thought it just functionally added massive parallelism, and didn't really solve this, by offloading the calculations into the quantum path space.

That's mechanical use of keyboard, but you're also gonna need a phrase anyzer and commonizer. Grammar and phrases used by writers should be unique enough to identify the same anonymous writers on different sites, at least over the long run.

If you can tie a controversial anon to a known account like facebook, you can then go all SJW on him, outing them to their employer and getting them fired.

I am less concerned about racist assholes than more general political opinions and so on.

"A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it."

A fully weaponized attack could take screenshots and camera pictures of you tossing off at Wikiarmpits.

Does that site have, ummmmm, plans for, ummmmm, other 3D-printable body parts?

The standard desktop at the company I work for used to be a Sun Ultra 5, and when the company imploded I picked an Ultra 5 with a fast processor (400 MHz), put some more memory in it, took it home and put Debian on it. It worked fine. Entirely decent interactive performance, like a fast Pentium 2. Not a box for video editing or other high-CPU/bandwidth activities, but fine otherwise.

I was amused to note that it wasn't a Windows box, so it was immune to Windows attacks. It wasn't an x86 box, so it was immune to x86 attacks. I guess I amuse easily. :-)

We had a pile of 32 bit SparcStations. We (literally) couldn't give them away.

$1.3 trillion! That's a lot of money! It's a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier every 30 hours, or about what the US borrowed every year just a few years ago zomfg that's alotta money!!!1!111

I'm voting for Bernie, the Independent Social.

This forum, in spite of the leftward shift in recent years ("What in god's name does this or that story have to do witb News for Nerds???") is somewhat balanced.

On another I read, the vast majority are walking around with EFB, Erections For Bernie, so long lasting and firm they're well past the point they "should seek medical care".

This tech exists already and only needs polishing. Auto-tracking and aiming. That will continue to be developed regardless. Slap it on a mobile Google car bought at the dealer, give it a route, and let 'er go!

Having humans decide who gets killed by the robot, as opposed to the robot deciding, is an added feature, and thus disposable to core dancing bear functionality.

For it to work it has to be banned by international law so rogue states can be punished. But it is trivial with soon-to-exist pieces.

I heartily agree.

However, I do want research to forge ahead with gorgeous robots who force you to do things to them. Gross, unhygenic things.
