If this guy's new AI investment fund trades as well as Siri understands what I'm saying, how can I invest in the opposite of it?

Skimming through this makes me feel even more comfortable using my iPhone ... look how smart you need to be to exploit it!

I also bought a car from Beepi, and it was also a wonderful experience for me. I chose them because all of the local car dealers scoffed when I offered to pay them in Bitcoin. So I went online, pressed a few bottons and bought a car online from Beepi with Bitcoin, which completely eliminated one of the most painful parts of buying a car (dealing with the bank).

Of course at the time I thought it was incredible that in 2015 I could purchase AND PAY FOR a new car without leaving the comfort of my couch. But in retrospect if I would have paid in dollars and kept the Bitcoin, or waited until 2017, I could have bought a Lamborghini!

Can anyone with free access post the PDFs from the Almagest journal articles? http://www.hpdst.gr/publications/almagest/issues/7-1

There used to be a company that offered something like this in MacWorld and PCMagazine in the early 90's.

Strange that the emergence of non-State digital cryptocurrencies was not even mentioned in this article. Is it that radical to envision that perhaps one day the successor to the U.S. dollar might not be fiat currency backed by any single state?

Despite these frequent, optimistic scientific articles, in a lifetime of struggling with mosquitos I've found the only completely effective way to avoid all bites is: to move to a desert.

I found it interesting that the article didn't mention another explanation: maybe people just don't want to waste food.

Perhaps this dilemma can be viewed as a typical example of classical economic 'homo economicus' vs. behavioral economics theories. Classical economic theory would say any rational human would obviously choose 20 over 10 nuggets for the same price. But behavioral economics typically takes into account other factors that classical models ignore to better explain our seemingly "suboptimal" decisions.

I think maybe 10 nuggets is a reasonable number for one person or two children to eat whereas 20 is obviously too much. In a 'fast food' situation where it's unlikely that leftovers would be saved, people may perhaps be choosing less nuggets to adhere to their very rational believe that (any) food should not go to waste.

Perhaps I'm just a stickler for efficiency. If it's something that I'm going to do two or three times a day, every day, for the rest of my life, I like to think that I can economize every possible step and movement to the bare minimum. Certainly some people like the ritual aspect of crafting something by hand in multiple steps, and like I said, it was fun for me the first few days until it got old. Now I just want to press a button and have my cup of coffee.

Perhaps that's the right track, but now someone needs to invent one where you can just dump a kilo of regular coffee beans into the back, rather than supporting some huge multinational's billion$/year printer/cartridge revenue model.

Was impressed with mine, but after the first few days the mess, fuss, and hassle started to get a bit old. Next, this guy needs to invent the 21st century version, which is connected to your water supply, filters and heats the water, stores and grinds a few weeks worth of coffee, and you just press a button and out pops your coffee, with no mess.

There are a few different definitions for that word, so I presume they're going for the "to harm someone's reputation by criticizing them" definition, rather than "to pronounce the sounds of a word in a way that is wrong or not clear"

Move closer to the equator and live amongst the other lazy people. You may even appear hard-working compared to them.

Use Aperture vault, and hope Apple doesn't decide to discontinue the product ..... Doh!

Smart move, eBay divests before bitcoin really starts eating PayPal's lunch

who wrote this, Satoshi?

Attenborough has been pushing the envelope of new visual technologies for a LONG time. Bravo to him for keeping at it. I can't wait to see it.

My cursory search suggests that it may be pretty secure: http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-49/pr...

but I figured I should ask this guy, sounds like he knows what he's doing.

How much harder would this attack have been with a fully patched OSX Mavericks target and an Apple Time Capsule router?
