nope but Gummy bears can fool the iPhone sensor. even better the smooth surfaces provide several finger prints to pull from.

Even better. We are starting to replace PHB's who know next to nothing bit are still in charge.

I can't wait until we can replace lawyers with an abacus and a cukoo-clock.

Not yet. This was the first step in declaring the need for a much much larger budget. as every app will need to be tested and certified with qualified people and testing could take as little as 12 months.

for the FDA that is amazing.

Yes but your wife isn't using directed electrical signals to shut you down.

Your wife is using directed Sound signals to shut down you down.

completely different method. Definitely worth a separate patent.

That's right

it has taken 30 years of doubling the computing power every 18 months to make a computer that can think like an ant.

In another 30 years we might get it up to a salmon.

Maybe in one or two hundred years we will have made computer smart enough to equal a dog. and then you can start to worry.

Ah but such machines are at best a short term threat. a machine that can't see beyond what it is told also can't see how cutting the building power supply shuts it off just as effectively as turning off the power switch.

if you think a self driving car is an AI then you know nothing about intelligence.

A self driving car is about as smart as a worker ant. it can move around obstacles, it can move heavy loads(like a fat arse). It has taken 50 years for computers to replicate an ant. And to do it we need 100,000 times the power requirements. Oh sure the self driving car follows GPS instead of sent trails. but no self driving car can follow a trail that doesn't exist.

You should see how airbus builds their planes.

In Europe not all the tunnels for trains are big enough for the pieces. So they use barges, and one big ass jet.

in 15-20 years Europe will pass America for Fatness.

Europe's one main advantage is you can actually take public transportation and walk to get to places.

Even that is not going to be enough.

Battery power grows about 5% every 5 years. maybe.

You are off by an order of magnitude for battery power.

Right now using the latest battery power the tesla S might get an additional 10% range. maybe if you are lucky and careful.

I have worked with 3M on custom adhesive tapes . I have doubts about that some days.

The trick is could these be use by telecommuters to feel more like they are at work?

Real Log homes seldom have wiring in the walls either. While Vertical runs are possible horizontal ones are not.

Nope the concept of a weekend off will disappear though.

ah that is because those are digital camera's. ghosts, big foots and ufo's only show up in analog photos.

digital stuff just can't reproduce all the details.

Haven't you ever listened to an audiophile talk about vinyl?
