Or you play the same map again and have to start in a different spot, and you have the ruins of your last game on the map

You must construct additional pylons.

SESSION, the chat program that runs over the Oxen network (a Tor alternative) is much better to my mind. Voice, text, chat, all e2e encrypted and not requiring a phone number like Signal.

I have bought several of his multicolour chakra tshirts over the years and find them very soothing to wear. Indoors.

Care to share the story or what he said to convince you not to work in videogames?

Why stay in SWIFT when it's been demonstrated that they can be cut off from global supply on the whims of the US administration? That one decision did more for the death of the American empire than any other.

I understand the impulse however the cost for submitting a patent is around the half-million US dollar mark (or so i have been told by patent lawyers) so I think improving the process and helping genuine innovations get some protection would be better

Thank you for the great response. Yes, I can definitely see how mechanical or physics based patents would be beyond the AI's remit at the moment. As someone who is considering going for a software patent sometime in the near future I was pretty disheartened by the patent process - both submitting the patent (the expense can be up to $500k I was told) and also defending the patent from larger companies seemed impossible. Perhaps an AI can start with easily understandable patents like software, or primarily word- or keyword based patents, and go from there to an ML approach for physics and such.

The patent system seems like it is a ripe subject for the kind of automation and disruption that we have seen lately in the legal sphere. Where you can fight your parking ticket and work within the law to defend your rights based on advice from an AI or similar system.

Has anyone done that for patents? You could have a section for proper writing of the patent, an accurate search function that runs in parallel and searches existing patents, an easy submission system that integrates with the world's patent database.

Don't forget the boys at the Oxen network and their Session program. Phenomenal work, better than Tor

Don't they use Mitsubishi engines across the board?

This is the best reply here. Such compassion, but intelligent too. Well done!

Have you considered routing through or utilizing the Session network as well? It's an improved version of Tor and you could possibly build this into a dApp on the Oxen network (oxen.io)

No

Good article. A similar thing happened here when the Australian Federal Police enacted an operation in Cambodia and similar areas to shut down the production of safrole, extracted from the root of the Sassafras tree (also the flavouring in root beer and sarsparilla). Ecstasy became much harder to get on the street and pushed users towards harder drugs like meth and heroin (resulting in a large number of addictions and increase in overall crime).

Additionally, operating costs of a semi truck that's going to remote areas are incredibly huge - not only safety equipment, driver pay, but fuel costs as well - that you might be surprised how competitive airships are. Have you looked at the numbers for that? What about building your own lightweight carbon fibre container that is filled and emptied at your location, instead of dropping off the entire package?

That is the coolest thing. Reminds me of cloudscoops mining He3 from gas giants in science fiction books

One of the issues with getting that high is that the higher you go, the less buoyancy the airships have, and you'd need bigger ships with more gas to haul the same loads. But the sky is very big, so it might just be an economics of scale problem

That is a great domain name! You're right about the room size, I suppose you would have to keep it either in the air or parked in nature when it's that size. Damn it, I want one even more now!

Thanks for the reply, yes I believe they are called Airlander

Thank you! And that would hold around 2 tonne if the weight scales up linearly, or is it cubed? Either way still cheaper than a house here in Australia

In general hydrogen is safe to use. It's only flammable when mixed with oxygen and it's 10x cheaper.

Does it embrittle rubber or plastic balloons? Hydrogen is so cheap and easy to make, you could have a single bottle that feeds into a blimp, refilling it when enough has seeped out.

Wouldn't they just get a homeless guy to register it, and then transfer it over to them? I'm all for the intent behind your system but execution has gotta be airtight

Hello gents! I have a burning question for you - what do you think about the idea of building a small airship that can be lived and traveled in? Sort of like a tiny house or vanlife, but in the air.

It's something I've always thought about since reading about it in science fiction books. What would the cost of something like that be?

Interesting to note that the initial emails had a timezone difference of 1 hour from Japanese time. They chalk that up to some kind of misconfigured system on Satoshi's behalf, but fail to note that the Philippines has a 1 hour time difference from Japan, and that's where Paul "Slotoshi" Le Roux was living while running his criminal empire.

Where do you think the "servants of the community" dealers get their supply from?

Thats what I'm stuck on, I suppose.

Imagine the entire situation is reversed. The Reverse Monty Hall problem.

I'm given a choice between two doors, once of which contains a car and one contains a goat. I have to choose, 1 or 2.

Then the game show host reveals that there was also a third door, which contained a goat, which is no longer relevant and never was relevant. I'm then also asked to choose a door (which is also irrelevant since the problem is backwards and the supposed aim is to get the car).

Even if that last step repeats 1000 times with 1000 doors and 1 car, each removing a goat-door, the only relevant choice is still the first one as the host appears to be adding new information, but it's always irrelevant information as a new choice is always made at the end.

Isn't he also removing relevant information as well? The third door is no longer part of the game so the information he gives you ceases to be relevant.

Can you help me understand - in my view the choice to switch doors or keep the same door is irrelevant, because even if you keep the same door you're making a choice that is now 2/3 of the right answer. If you switch or keep, you're still choosing from two doors that contain a car and a goat. The other door is no longer relevant and doesn't affect the new state at all.

It's your perspective (narrowing the choice down) that changes, not the position of the car. Like getting a run of red in roulette and thinking the next one has gotta be black.
