Well damn.

Uploading can also work by doing it gradually, replacing neurons one at a time with artificial ones, or fast links to an emulator. This could actually be done after being placed in a Matrix-like device that replaces signals going into and out of the brain. This has the upshot of not creating copies, meaning that there isn't a "you" that dies in the process.

Could this give us a method for mind uploading? If we are able to track every cell in the human brain, especially over time, we should be able to emulate it wholesale with one or two more layers of software (electrical and chemical signaling).

Very exciting times we are living in.

...isn't a currency.

Sorry.

None of those other things was Thor either, if they even existed.

Mvdwege is now a transexual african-eurasian from Pluto, which is a moon of Neptune for some reason! If you don't agree you are a bigot!

It's like saying CmdrTaco will now be a woman. Thor is the name of a person, not a super-hero alter ego like Dread Pirate Roberts or something.

If it's a woman who takes up the Mjolnir, then fine, but it's not Thor. I don't care it its another blond haired blue eyed ponce from Sweden, it's not fucking Thor. Its Sven. Or Svetlana. Whatever. Let them be their own person with their own personality, not a canon fucking rule 64 gag.

Wow, so now AGW people are comparing the warming "trend" to sin(x)? A function that trends literally exactly even over time?

And here I thought they were just ignorant of physics. Guess they can't into math either.

They're just blaming Uber for what they themselves have done to the taxi industry. It should cost NOTHING to start a cab company, aside from the price of your cab and fuel. But government intervened on the side of big cab companies to force them to pay huge amounts for permits to decrease the competition.

If Snapple had lobbied to force other drink companies to pay a million dollars for each distribution truck, you can bet that whatever drink companies were left would be charging outrageous amounts, and would probably try to ban people from drinking tap water. Such an arrangement would certainly be taken down by a series of lemonade stands.

Uber has just pointed out the inefficiency and waste that has been created by government interference in the transportation industry.

So where's the warming? Both poles have more ice than usual.

If you want to claim its the oceans, then you are going to have to explain where your heat pump is, or why the oceans just now started warming instead of a hundred years ago. Yes I have had this conversation before.

We do have AGW, but it is caused by humanity shifting the water vapor equilibrium (through irrigation, paving, combustion, and cooling towers). It is a tight equilibrium, so there is very little chance of runaway global warming. Ocean acidification, however, is an extreme problem that is far more likely to do grievous harm to humanity. But no-one wants to actually think for themselves and do the calculations themselves. They just want to fit in.

There are poor white people too, you know. More and more of them lately.

But I suppose that is a racist thing to point out.

So if they force disclosure of a password and the data that was "known" to be on there isn't there, do you get to sue for violation of your fifth amendment rights?

This is sort of like saying "tell us where you buried the bodies or we'll jail you permanently for contempt". Actually no, it's EXACTLY like saying that. The key sure as fuck IS incriminating evidence, just the same as the location of a dead body.

Right, I'm sure they didn't just have a visit from the NSA (Not Secure Anymore) who wanted a backdoor in their software, and they refused to give them one, shutting down instead.

Security through obscurity isn't security, anon.

Governments squash innovation. News at 11.

I see you don't know the difference between money and currency.

You will know the difference one day. It will hit you in an instant, but it will be too late.
