The idea here is that industries tend to be close to where their inputs come from; there are many more resources up there than on the planet, and once we bootstrap space mining it might be more economical to move various stages of manufacturing to space than to keep them downwell and drop raw materials from the sky. Moving mining and manufacturing means also moving the big sources of pollution.

"Total productivity" and "Earth becoming a paradise" are dreams, of course. This is a song, not an economics report. But it outlines pretty well the things people might reasonably want to do in space, and why.

Preface: I'm Indian, and I genuinely want ISRO to be the space agency: if not today, then certainly in fifty years.

> Trust me, every 'poor country' must have good science projects going. If not space projects, then at least some hard engineering ones.

Exactly my point. There was a ton of nonsense around the time of Chandrayaan about whether or not it was right to spend money on such things "when people were starving": in case it wasn't clear, I think that's bullshit. And I'm worried about it coming back, and actually doing some serious damage this time.

> Indians works on these projects if they don't name the project in their language what other language should they call it in?

As some of the other replies to your comment also point out: my problem is not the Hindi. If we launched a space telescope, I fear it'd end up named "Mahakashdoorbeen" or something. Why not something less boring than "Mars Vehicle" (which is what Mangalyaan translates to)? Remember, a 19- or 20-year-old is still young enough to be attracted to shiny things, so moralizing about how this is "useless nonconstructive criticism" doesn't help. The name doesn't increase the maximum pressure the rocket can survive, but it gets you people who can.

> Im not sure if NASA has such practices. In fact me be the exact opposite. In short ISRO makes failure cheap.

That's very interesting: it's reminiscent of Erlang, in a way. Launch a ton of cheap missions, expect some to fail, work on reducing the failure rate while not crying because a couple went up in smoke. I could see this turning into something big if they took it farther in public.

> ISRO is a government run firm, which hires Indian nationals who come out of local colleges. The kind of types no software company likes to hire, in fact you will be surprised most go for jobs there because they wouldn't have got jobs elsewhere.

Why does it need to stay that way? It seems you know more than me about how ISRO works, so this just makes me sadder.

It seems from the downvotes that people think I'm one of the rabid "India is a toilet" types that surface on /r/worldnews whenever there's some good news about India. I'm not: it's just I think that more Indian leadership (for lack of a better word, again) in space (and STEM more generally) is something to legitimately care and feel proud about.
I think it's very clever. Even if I think that the sarcasm of the paper express the message perfectly, after reading some of the comments here, I'm going to spell it.

It's telling us: we live in a material universe, intelligence is just a function of physical attributes. If you want to deny the possibility of machine intelligence, the burden of proof is on you because, denying that would be so ridiculous as denying supersized machines.

Summary: This is a parody of various arguments about superintelligent AI.

It opens by parodying the classic futurist parable of history as exponential growth in intellect and technology, recasting history as a tale of growth in size (after all, the earliest organisms were tiny). It recasts fears about superintelligent AI as fears about super-large beings (wouldn't you be afraid of something that could step on you as easily as you step on an ant?).

Then it switches to parodying some arguments against the possibility of superintelligence, in order:

1. That intelligence is "irreducibly complex"; since we don't understand what makes people smart, we can't expect to make smarter machines. This, to me, is the weakest of the parodies in the article. We definitely understand size better than intelligence, and lack of fundamental understanding has absolutely impeded our ability to engineer things in the past. To get to the Moon, we had to understand gravitation at a much deeper level than "things fall down", or even than "things fall in parabolas". That said, total understanding of natural phenomena is not always necessary to replicate them: the Wright brothers didn't need to understood how exactly bird flight worked to build the first plane.

2. That intelligence is poorly defined ("human-level" AI is "meaningless"). "Largeness" is similarly vague, but an Airbus is still obviously bigger than a human. Vague goals can still be met.

3. That human intelligence is in some way "universal". I don't understand this argument enough to explain the parody. Can someone else chime in?

4. Psychological arguments against superintelligence, which says that the origin of belief-in and fear-of superintelligent machines is really evolutionary, not logical. This is a classic non-sequitur; if evolution predisposes humans to be afraid of wolves, it does not follow that humans have no reason to be afraid of wolves.

5. That the goal of AI research is to augment human intelligence, not supplant it. Another non-sequitur.

6. Arguments from the hard problem of consciousness, and philosophical questions like "can a machine ever be conscious?". Yet another non sequitur: even if you think a machine fundamentally can't be conscious, it doesn't follow that it can't be functionally superintelligent.

7. Bullshit arguments involving quantum mechanics, Godelian incompleteness, and other things with pop-cultural cachet that most people who invoke them don't have the technical chops to understand.

The safety issue is just FUD.

ABS, if not your brake system, on current cars is a critical safety system and repair centers across the US (and likely similar in other countries) can make these repairs safely and within manufacturer requirements. We accept this because no repair facility is going to want to lose business by installing bad parts or doing a job improperly and the last point of contact; the repair shop; is on the hook legally.

With regards to parts on the phone. Apple simply needs to be forced to make replacement parts available to non Apple repair facilities. They could have an authorization process or whatnot but it needs not to be burdensome.

My only concern with this would be, wouldn't that be a great way for the intelligence services of the world to finally backdoor the Apple's iDevice security.

Apparently they don't have advanced enough robots to do all the jobs for humans.

The problem with automation and AI is that a powerful enough AI will render any story pretty boring, because it can basically do anything. So when writing fiction, one has to put brakes on some implications of technology just to be able to make a story.

But assuming that fully-automated space-everything wasn't developed before Epstein drive[0], the geopolitical (systempolitical?) situation makes the whole scenario plausible - you have overcrowded Earth with most people living on Basic Income just because there aren't enough opportunities, Martians hell-bent on terraforming their world ASAP, and the Belters, who can't live downwell and whose ability to provide services to inner planets is the only way to survive out there. One could imagine a strong opposition to automated mining from the Belt, and powers on Earth and Mars not too eager to upset that.

For rot13, I've found it particularly helpful to have an alias set up to translate the contents of the clipboard. I basically always have a terminal on screen, so to read rot13 text I just have to copy and run a single command. On OS X:

alias rot13='tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M'
alias pbr13='pbpaste | rot13; echo'

(echo adds a newline to play well with bash; on linux I use xsel instead of pbpaste.)

Mining in space only to drop the resources downwell is uneconomical. Moving industry to space, where the resources are, and dropping only final products downwell might make more sense - especially if "moving industry" actually means rebuilding it with resources mined in space.

I am fairly new on the webapp scene dominated by React and Angular.

I can see some valid use cases for the blessed library where there is no way to get a graphical frontend running.

But aiming to build for terminal first?

Even if you do, it might be better to have two separate projects, or one core library implemented by both frontend subproject.

Having one big app covering it all, might be an overkill. I would ask myself the question "Will it be used on a terminal" first. And if the answer is "Yes, it will be used quite frequently on a terminal." then go terminal first.

Also, the very first question should be. Should I use X and Y languages, frameworks, etc...?

You might find better tools for certain problems then react and blessed to have something nice in a terminal.

That's really cool. We've built the first online mobile application porting platform.

We currently offer two options:
Self-Service Option (99$ USD) (recommended if you have in-house Android experts):
You use our UI porting platform to port your entire iOS UI elements (storyboard and xib) to native Android UI (xml). Before you purchase this, you get to view it online (we use appetize.io to let our customer to view online the Android UI output before purchasing the Android source code). We offer this at 99$ USD per porting session. The output you pay for is a full Android UI source which you can start from (to edit in Android Studio) to complete manually the app and get the final Android application. That means you can hire any expert Android developer to do this manual work, yet still saving you some time, effort and money. If you are looking at this option, it is a self-service. Just login to myappconverter.com and upload your iOS storyboard project and follow the instructions. We do offer 15 days free support on our UI output products.
Fully Managed Porting Service Option (Starting from 3000$ USD) (recommended if you don't have any Android experts):
You really want to use our accredited experts engineering team at MyAppConverter to take the UI Android and complete the work to deliver you a full working Android application. In this case, once your upload your entire iOS project, you ask us for a free/no-obligation quote. For that quoted price, you will get a full working native Android app and its Android source code. The way we work is that you will be receiving a series of apks for you to test and you report all issues/bugs through our bug tracking portal; you will typically get the first UI based apk, then the next one will be including some logics and more functionalities, until the final apk represents the fully working & tested app on Android. On average, the porting timeline is around 3 to 5 weeks. We tend not to take porting projects in excess of 5 weeks work to minimise customer delivery risks. This is the full turnkey option and yet fast, efficient & price competitive. We have both our in house resources also a handful carefully selected and accredited freelancers. Let me know if you need further information.

The UI porting is around storyboard and xib . We port this instantly with our porting tool to native android.

We are three co-founders based out of London and Casablanca.

> So you have to toss a coin infinitely often an infinite number of times

This is a core piece of your confusion. Infinity isn't a number; you can't multiply it by another number and get a meaningful result. You are saying you could run an infinite number of tests on Monday and then run an infinite number of tests on Tuesday and so on, but the concept of infinity holds that you did as many trials on Monday as you did on Monday and Tuesday combined. (Inf * 2 = Inf).
Any major corporation has lawyers (either in-house or on retainer) to verify that court orders are valid before complying with them. Bank of America either chose not to use them, or they didn't do their own due diligence. You can bet this wouldn't have happened if the case involved several hundred thousands (or millions) of dollars.

Court orders have to be specific for a reason - to protect property rights. If some of the information on a court order doesn't match the facts, the proper thing to do is challenge it. Using a warrant as an example, law enforcement isn't allowed to get a judge to allow them to enter a property and just take "anything incriminating". They need to specifically list what they're taking, what case it's in conjunction to, and how the property relates to the case. They're not allowed to take anything that doesn't match the exact specifics of the order.

And if any of that information is wrong, the order is invalid and executing it makes people liable to civil suits. The bank should have challenged it themselves, since they had the necessary information to do so (a name and SSN). Failing that, they should have informed the customer with sufficient time to do it for them.

Bank of America doesn't deserve a pass on this. They screwed up. The court did, too, but it's BoA's job to hold on to people's money and verify identities before handing it out. Had they just told the court that the bank account didn't match the specified person, the court would have taken "no" for an answer.
