  1. Society evolves very rapidly these days, a singularly focused society could seek to undermine Worker driven economies for their own advancement. it could, in theory , completely undermine the working class in a decade.
  2. I don't like science focused on the personality, not so much the science. Aside, if you were a kid in the sixties you have this new drug and people are talking about a new affective vaccine, its novelty was part of the news. Its sort of like how famous einstein was after the atomic bomb was dropped. Or madam curie back in the early 20th. The salk vaccine just sticks in your head if you are of the sixties.
  3. They could not be completely self learning. A couple has two robots, the couple has a fight, the wife says i want to kill you, her robot compliess, the hasbands robot kills the other robot and then the wife.
  4. Hmmm, better get new power supply.
  5. Wow, who uses a voltmeter with wet hands. Does your gigabyte have a VGA port, if so set your ob vid, and remove the MSI. If the computer starts normally its the Powersupply, by a good quality supply in which the watts for each transformer is as stated. Many supplies can only produce 85% of stated power. Some mobos do not boot with certain USB, mine will not boot when the USB wifi is present. Your bios settings may not be properly set, see if you can get help from gigabyte, they may have a bios upgrade.
  6. How fast did it take production to move to china. 1980 china went from a closed country, 2015 it is now the largest manf in the world. if you have a country, and the goal of that country was to suuport its population by taking over the largest production capacity. It would not need a large population, just have an excess of ports. lets say the ukraine decided that the y were going to turn as many industries as robotic as possible, relatively low paid workers maintaing the bots. Extensive oversees borrowing, jobs could disappear say in china as production moves to a new location. Ok so now replace Ukraine with russia, which has ports on the Pacific, Black sea, Baltic, Arctic. Decent resources and oil. So its not likely the would hurt badly US or European, but such a state could do major dange to deveolping economies such as china, malaysia, India.
  7. STEM is important, people don't realize that to stay relevant they need to plan for the future. Highly repetitive tasks are open for replacement, the use of robots to pick up garbage etc, but fields might be added such as separating trash into green items and things that go into the heap. With global warming you could have tree planting robots that replace humans in dangerous jobs like coal mining, or ramp workers in airline industry.
  8. You assume Americans do, many skipped to the next one failing to answer. What you probably mean is whether a monkey realized it is being asked a question. - - - Updated - - - Well I had trouble with the tides question, I reread it and the word "main" basically placed one answer above the rest. No answers as a result of an exclusion process. Although the question about Jonas Salk is not fair, because this is name recognition and not about abstract science content, most americans in their 50s and 60s should have some recollection of Polio, it was something kindo of biggish in school. It should have been for extra credit. (12 of 12). Oddly the magnifying glass one I remembered frying ants as a kid, that convex lens focus parallel rays of sunlight on a tiny object, like an ant and they sizzle, easy.
  9. Taking anti-biotics would be a natural disaster, exploited by the nemesis clostridium dificilus, the universe bomb.
  10. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34264164 To satistfy Camacha I have added that Blue Origin was started couple years ago, and that I really couldn't ...... But that some many rich guys are starting rocket companies, and I mean where are all the buyers with this new found competition.
  11. If you trained a monkey to answer only one per test question, it would because of the test design score slightly more on average than 3.5. The monkey score was a term commonly used at the med. school to apprise the teachings staff of repeaters, cause if you got the monkey score you would have to repeat the class. Monkey score means essentially that ind. X knows nothing at all about the topic, X is oblivious, that X probably should not ever speak about global warming or evolution or topics of that due to X's complete and utter ignorance on science related issues. The Pew institute if you read the whole of the links that public opinion on science issues often markedly varies on scientist opinion on the same issue. I suspect that if a monkey can read he/she might on average score higher than the monkey score.
  12. I think on a computer, techically an un launched game would be a class, and once an instance of a class is created it becomes a new object, once the objects parameters are saved then it becomes a permanent object. A universe would be for instance all the PCs ever made, individual PCs would be galaxies, The programs they run would be like classes of stars, and individual instances would be like star systems. System objects would be defined object variables in the object, each representing instances of a lower level class, and sprites on each would be objects also represting even lower level variables of a Sprite class. So basically each time you spawn a new game you are spawning a system, not a universe. Sorry to pop everyones bubble.
  13. http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/results/ Take a look at the results, a monkey score is 3 or less, a monkey could if taking the test 20 times score an 8 but a sizable fraction of americans could not reach that score. Forty percent of americans score lower than a monkey best score if he took the test 20 times. 3 percent of americans scored lower than a monkey.

  14. But the dolphins told me it was a very bad idea. You are nothing but a bunch of osscillating fields, why should i belive you, :^).

  19. One way to do it is to basically warp the calculation of an orbit that intecpts L points if the crafts trajectory reaches inside the soi. It would make slowing down for insertion easier.
  20. Cant argue for 4 core. Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis fried my single core Prescott although it could have been a MB fault, could not use the computer when the program was running, sometimes several days. With two cores it was slow but not a problem, ran faster with a slower process rate. Windows XP running A virtual DOS emuation mode, using a VT220 window and constant communication with Com1 clobbered gui function, a dual core processor with single proc rate a little over half the speed resulted in an almost seamless slower gui operation. Theoretically speaking if you had a process intesive program that was set to run in the background, as long as is had decent "Do event" frequncy, you could run 3 programs and and the results of each being fed to a forth using filed packets, which could pick up the packets once closed by the first, draw in the data abd deleting the file and you could triple the processing rate. I would not do this; running CPUs with intense numerical and integer processing for days on end ages the hell out of the processor. But occupying two cores, and letting the enviroment run a third is fine.
  21. It is possible to create SOI for the lagrange points, it would not be greatly accurate but at least it woukd give players a chance to explore their use. Arguing for lagrange points is not neccesarily arguing for the use of N-body physics. One deficiency of KSP is the complete lack of a stellar scientifci program, and a great thing to do with L2 is park telescopes.
  22. They could be stable in a three body problem, But not for N-body. Since a star looses mass over time, if the star lost mass at diifereny rates it would be unstable.
