Comment supersymmetry has to go (Score 4, Funny) 50

The issue with these founding assumptions is including supersymmetry. If they eliminate that from the assumptions, it would be a better start, but the real issue preventing advancement is that they fundamentally do not understand the topology of the universe. The universe is not flat. All mainstream physicists are basically card holding members of the flat universe society.

So is biometric data required to access the internet in the uk? I dont regularly use a phone for onliine access so maybe im out of the loop here. I mean, are they really filming these children as they access the internet? Is a camera looking at your face required to access the internet in the UK?

Comment Eighties Kids are For This (Score 1) 90

In the Eighties we embraced progess. If you look at Kilmer's role in Real Genius you can see that there were concerns about what the military was going to do with technology, but in general there was optimism and I think that Val Kilmer would support this, and his older fans, like me, do too. We all miss Val and wish we had more of hime, and if we can get some more val on screen and take care of his family then I do not see a downside.

I am a medical marijuana patient adn when I travelled this winter I went adn got some gummies at a smoke shop. They were processed in the same facility that produces psilocybin gummies and there was cross contamination. Snapped me out of my depression instantly. Lasted about 2 weeks until I was subjected to another traumatic event.

It is not that simple. The matter has to behave differently than normal matter in order to account for the velicity disparity between predicted speeds at the edge of the galaxy, and measured speeds. Your comment is misleading in that it simplifies what is the longest run of failed experiments in human history.

Comment Consciousness is not the seat of decision making (Score 1) 221

This article is totally hilarious as it rests upon the idea that the essence of humanity is consciousness. Science has shown that consciousness is NOT the seat of decision making it is nothing but a notification system So NOT ONLY do we not know how to make AI conscious, be we also don't know what consciousness is, and when we figure it out we will realize it is not the goal. So this is going nowhere anytime soon.

Comment Bajau (Score 1) 130

Wait until we have commoditized life support technology. If there is enough settlement off-planet financed by billionaires, then technology to produce oxygen may become cheap. The Bajau (sea nomads) of the south china sea could benefit from underwater escape from typhoons. At some point it may become safer to just put the house underwater with a tether up to your boat. That culture could expand quickly in 50 years.

!5 Years or so ago the Planck experiment ruled out most of the preferred inflationary models -GREAT SUCCESS- -NOTHING TO SEE HERE- Now this experiment rules out the most likely candidate for dark matter -GREAT SUCCES- -NOTHING TO SEE HERE- There is no evidence for the Lamgda Cold Fusion Model other than the inability of scientist to predict the motion of stars. Billions and Billions of dollars and 100 years have shown that this theory is wrong. Time to move on.

This is not true. Karl Schwarzschild, the guy who gave the first exact solution of Einstein's equations put forward the theory that the universe is embedded on an expanding sphere. In this situation, there is no mysterious dark energy pulling the universe apart, it's just a factor of the universe expanding on the surface of a ballon. As the balloon expands, new space is created on the surface and the things there get farther apart. Pretty basic. The issue is a mental block on the part of the dominant professors to the idea that the universe could have more directions (dimensions) than x, y, an z. "well if its outside the universe we can't test it so it doesn't matter". Well, it freaking matters if you haven't made progress in 100 years.

Just checked USAJOBS.gov . There is not a single CISA based job listed. If they are understaffed as bad as this indicates why are there no job postings at their official site for hiring? None, Zero, Zip. Seems to be this article is fake news based on a stolen, uncheckable, email.

Not really news. There has been no Cyber talent in the government for a while because it won't PAY them. When you can make 2X more going contractor, or private industry, the only people in the government are people who need the ability not to get fired to have a small chance of holding a job. There is no innovation or dedication in or civil servants. Until the government is willing to meet the wages on the outside they will be unable to attract top talent.

If you think Government workers are a meritocracy and we are losing top talent, you obviously have never looked into Federal hiring practices. They self select for the worst candidate.

If you are a Govie reading this, yes I mean you.

So this move probably improved efficiency, not hurt it.
