Is there no way to work a cleaning mechanism into the material? Dry it and static charge?

Eh, nowadays a good teacher can film his lecture and reach millions? So, school teaching doesent scale.

competition improves the gambling skills of administration it strangles those free spirits by forcing them to train the entrusted to perform under "circus-conditions" useless tricks.

Allow for a earning of teaching freedom by performance of student in reallife (aka student-tests, work-archievments). Allow teachers to take risks, aka bend the rules (skip circus-tests) by betting parts of there paycheck/benefits on there late-game-performance.

The problem is storage.. what to do.. what do do with all this .. freeze the pumped water storage to horizontal glaciers?

The recently posted HN Article about the elederly in japan stealing to avoid the penalty of beeing poor for a honest live in capitalism.

Brilliant- how does it perform with difficult gramars, such as fractals or organic shapes?

There is not one C. There are multitutdes of C. C is a recombination of the Programming language with the Compiler with the Plattform with the Code Convention of choice with the librarys chosen with the OperatingSystem (if there is one).

And C needs knowledge in all fields recombined to be really used freely. Know one of those fields not - and you will be like a wanderer on a frozzen lake, doomed to trust those who know to guide you by ramming posts of no return where the ice gets thin.

Its also about taking a sledgehammer to all those certaintys people have about computers from marketing and personal experience as consumers.

Extraordinarism - the ideology to think one is seperate from nature that brought the species into existence. Related to other ideologys that considered humans the crown of creation or the source of all evils. Most distinguishing feature of the ideology? A inability to watch ones own existence and the existence of ones species with a relaxed attitude. Often driven to extremes by massive consumer guilt, and by the dawning realisation that none of the stated statements contributes to problem solving.

"Humanity is so evil, even the devil is afraid we could take his soul. We eat soda cans and drink babys. We should all feel ashamed and do nothing waiting for the end to come, soon.."

This is another thing, where a sort inverse domino effect exists. The more the machine learns, the less training the human gets, the faster the conversion spreads. Same as why you trust a machine to fly you more by now then a human.

...and of the f...

Yes, they have old people who dont get enough for a pension. That is troubling as so far, as it prooves that people can in the end vote with there hands and feets against the free market approach of everyone insure himself against beeing poor at old age.

If it werent for that loner, banging rocks together in a corner for fire and sharp stones, we would still sit in a cave braiding each others hair and listening to the shaman telling use the story of the mamoth.

Completely unrelated, but maybe not. If the problm of the suburb traffic inspired the idea of the selfdriving car, so you can be productive while beeing stuck in traffic- why are there no group-commuters, that take a larger vehicle, so everyone can work ond the way, except for one driver, which can cycle?

It gets really interesting with cars that have no crumble zone - like the Smart. They managed to build that little devil in a way, that the motor gets partially shoved beneath the floor of the car..

Butlerian Jihad! You shall not have thinking machines.

Can we do this systematic?

First massive reduction, to test wether the Eco-System can handle it short term.

If yes, eradication until the diseases have vannished.

Measurement if the ecosystem handles it. Reintroduction if needed.

vacuum is not empty?

So its speed of light in quantum foam?

Is there a thing that allows for Science Annonymous?

Can you provide links to alternate timelines that proof your heuristics effective? ;)

Same way it got there? Laser focused on earth? Needs good aiming though.

Ahem.. why does the object have to be behind the solar sail? Cant it be, one object hanging between two solar sails? Or Three?

Is there something i dont get here?

We allready sold out to the advertisement industry, the military sector and everyone with a double trigit bankaccount. So feed and caress us mighty invisible hand, or we shall bite you, for we know all your secrets? Journalism ala Mafia? That is the future? Can i have Wikileaks back please? I rather prefer people not in it for the gains.

Everyone involved in this is going to have a copy and a copy of a copy for safety reasons. The whole thing will leak eventually. What a fine day at the river, watching old enemies drifting by..

The problem is, we program as we have evolved. Single Threaded, solving one Problem at a time, focusing on one aspect at a time, in series.

If you want to have a paradigm that is really succesfull, it would involve using every aspect of the human mind. We are good at perceiving 3d space. We are good at instantly computing physics. We are good at perciving other human behaviour. We are good at recombining existing tools to create more sophisticated tools. If you want optimal results, without the struggle of reeducation, tailor the paradigm to the existing creature, not the inverse approach.

Maybe should add that as a feature to a reshare IDE - if it identifys functional identical code to library functions- it offers a refactoring.

There is a passcode that is really tough to replicate- behaviour - aka habbits. Every day, you travell down the same road, meet the same people (okay as your cellphone the same cellphones, wifi-stations). This habbit is like a fingerprint, as in, there are very few people who have the exact same browsing behaviour. If you could extract a fingerprint from that information, you have a sort of biometric identifier that is at least hard to come bye.

Problem- every holiday your phone thinks youre a phonethief

The behaviour of people whos "orthodox" are able to discuss gods-rules en detail and find workarounds - has everything to do with how you percive the world and approach everything. Its a mindset word approaching.

Damn it, i lost a bet against a friend. My money was on fungi. Well, we get it everywhere, everyone eats it, and that which eats it, gets it.

Next bet: Involuntary Uplift of all species integrated into civilisation: Badgers, Foxes, Pidgeons. I give it 5 years, whos is raising 100 $ gentleman. Make the apocalypso a win-win situation. GO!

The problem is the bug catch creep growing around DataInput and mathematical operations.

I think it would really help to have a language, that differs between the original methods raw body (displaying the pure intentions) and blends out the various filters and catchy expeption handling.

Such a function with catchy names, could be allmost as good as a coment- and is usually there. Coments can be useless too /* Function taking these arguments, returning this type */
