According to the article, the tumor was "95%" removed. It also sounds like morcellation instead of excision. I'm glad that they got it before entanglement with the optic nerve, but they need to follow up carefully. Morcellation of some tumors can lead to metasticies.

Should measure the interaction between developers and product managers before coding even starts - see how the developer responds to impossible requests, contradictory requirements, and meaningless buzzword filled descriptions...

No need to devise the obligatory car analogy, the article comes with its own!:

Please provide a link to the other version of this article if you are going to use it as the basis of your point.

the NSA must know, therefore Snowdon must know, therefore we will know QED.

I concede the point. The multi object argument is compelling. However, I am frightened by how this could go wrong, and hope that the strong goal in the system is to not hit anything.

not 8 wavelengths, but "8 orders of magnitude bigger than the wavelength of light used in the imaging process" (from the linked article)

And a bag with a baby in it?

You are missing the point - the system should not be trying to model the value of the thing on the road - at best it should model things for their expected behavior. Is it stationary or not? Is it likely to move or not?

I suggest reading Debt the first 5000 years for a broader view on the meaning of and origin of money.

Bitcoins are not infinitely divisible. They can be divided down to a satoshi.

If you have enough information to satisfactorily "report your lost Bitcoin", then you have the bitcoin itself.

For a bad analogy, think about a 20 dollar bill. You can't go into a bank and say "I a 20 dollar bill, can I have another 20?" and expect success. If you go into the bank and say "I lost a 20 dollar bill and I remember the serial number, can I have another 20?" you still won't succeed. If you could somehow go into the bank and say "I lost a 20 dollar bill and I remember the serial number, and I can prove that it is mine, and I can prove that I haven't already spent it, and that no-one else can spend it" then maybe you'd have a chance.

Once you can do all of that, you have enough information to "report your bitcoin lost"... but that means that you have enough information to rebuild your bitcoin.

That's nothing. Actual AI is seeing that the light has gone red, knowing that you should stop, but feeling that you don't really want to, and hoping that if you time it right you can kill the guy sitting inside you without damaging your own mind.

Was it any more successful for Ubuntu when they went to Unity?
