Isn't evolution random chance + selection? That's how I've always seen it.
That is what was mentioned as "global indexes" in this discussion. The problem with this approach is twofold - firstly it negates many of the partitioning benefits (e.g. removing data is not merely a DROP PARTITION but you have to walk the global structure), secondly it requires fairly significant surgery in the indexes (that now point to rows in a single table, and so [block,item] is enough, but global indexes will require [partition,block,item]).
Can't find a sound source right now[1] but reportedly some mushroom spores are able to make it into space and withstand its conditions.

Not sure the point you're making.

I do not differentiate between agnostic and atheistic thought. They are both the same thinking/belief systems in my view. An agnostic believes there could be a "god/creator" (but does not pursue this thought any further than "maybe"). An agnostic also believes there may not be a God/Creator given the absence of evidence to justify such a belief. An atheist believes that there is NO god/creator given the absence of evidence to prove the existence of such a being. If evidence had to exist then the atheist will believe the existence of such a being based on such evidence. That sounds exactly the same.

As to your point about "we don't know" - well, not knowing is perfectly fine in science. We cannot ascribe to or embellish and fabricate imagined facts and agents to any unknown phenomenon without evidence.

Classic Lemmings had both co-op and competitive multiplayer.

Co-op is clear, as you described.

Competitive: you each have your own lemmings: blue-green vs. green-blue. You have your own start point and end point on the same map. You can only control your own lemmings. Your goal-point will accept any lemming. Hilarious chaos ensues.

Most of the people over 70s I knew have had their sight degraded or lost pretty much all of it. Her eyes (from the picture) look in a pretty healthy condition.

A couple of points here.

- Humans have evolved. Look at our huge array of characteristic physical appearances. These differences have emerged in spite of the fact that we all share an extremely common same-species common ancestor. And that's just what's on the outside. Our primary divergence from our evolutionary (different species) ancestors has not been what's on the outside, as we've become worse in nearly every way, but what's on the inside. Intelligence > all. Discussing this topic as it relates to humans today is very sensitive.

- Evolution is driven by natural selection and ultimately by who's most successful at breeding. Humanity has socially evolved in a bizarre way in that today those who are least successful tend to breed far more successfully than those are more successful. Lower income, lower education, and higher religiosity are strongly correlated with higher fertility.

The Flynn Effect [1] was the observation that 'real' IQ scores were constantly increasing in developed nations. This was a major issue since IQ is normalized such that for any given population that mean is always 100 with a standard deviation of around 15. That means that somebody in 1960 with an IQ of 100 was probably more intelligent than somebody from 1920 with an IQ of 100. This was convenient for the environmental view of intelligence as improvement in environmental factors correlated with the increases in IQ. However, the Flynn effect in many developed nations has actually reversed, in spite of the continuing improvement in environmental factors. It continues to remain in effect in less developed nations. There are many ways to interpret this, but it's certainly interesting to consider it from an evolutionary perspective.

No, but at the moment(at least over here in UK) the tax on petrol and diesel covers road building/maintenance for the entire country. With this tax slowly disappearing, we will have to find another way to tax people who use the roads, and the best way to do that is to tax the fuel they use as it's directly proportional to their use.

Same reason why heating/farming oil doesn't have this tax, even though it's technically just diesel and your diesel car would happily run on it. Yes, the electricity used in your car is the same as the one used in your washing machine, but it should be taxed more because of its use, exactly the same as we do with oil already.
> the integrity to not sell something like this on the black market

Wouldn't the investigation lead to him? He noted he did not know, at the time, that it was an RCE. So he would need to research further (where he might trigger an alarm). He also noted he utilized staging environment, which he had access to due to previous found vulnerabilities (so Google had his personal details).

So, now imagine he found something and he had sold it. If it was used, Google would do a thorough investigation to find if given vulnerability was abused in the past. And they find this guy using it exploratory and nothing else. It's not hard to put 1+1 together after that.

While the idea of finding an exploit and selling it for hundreds of thousands of dollars on black market sounds exciting, it wouldn't be so easy in this case.
Often the only other option is death.

Yes, this was post Church, under Bush Sr (as head of CIA, then vice, then pres) it became the worst.

Dunno about the way charging works, at least long term. Scooter sharing through, that's kind of promising.

Beijing (and other cities) have proven that bike sharing can become a major transport type if the city will allow bike sharing companies to just dump bikes all over the sidewalk. It's crude, but it at least let's us see how far bike sharing can go if/when stations are a non-problem.

Besides the mess (I could not imagine buttoned down European city like Vienna or even a messy one like Amsterdam allowing it), there's a problem of space. Scooters are space saving.

In my ideal world, there are "public" scooter stations that can be used by any bike sharing enterprise. These provide efficient, space saving storage and power. With the same footprint we currently use for city bikes, we could probably store 2X-4X as many scooters. One parking space could be converted into a unit. Scooters everywhere!

What about Guitar Hero crap boundled with every Mac?
That will be the equivalent of a 21 year old with no backgrounds robbing a bank. He'll just get caught, somehow. Either through financial transactions, taxes, leaves a trace somewhere, get involved with that criminal organization, etc... He'll eventually mess up.

But back to your question. If I remember correctly, the big companies started giving higher bounties because they noticed that some of the bugs are being sold on the dark market. Some of these bugs are certainly not unmarktable but the companies have to keep the promise.

Also I'm not an expert on these things. Maybe there is an entity buying whatever bug you can find and giving generous money. Think governmental institution who might be interested with whatever backdoor they can get.

Colombia caught my attention when I lived in the states. But before I come to Colombia, lets talk about Brazil.

I fell in love with Brazil many years ago. Many people did, some may still do. It was an amazing place. People were super friendly, the women were curious about foreigners...
Today Brazil is much less welcoming for foreigners, even slightly xenophobic. They still have an economic crisis and I wonder what will happen if the world economy cools down. It also has become dangerous again. People change, countries change, I may have changed.

So this brings us to Colombia. It is very cheap to fly there from the states. I had many adventures there, got certified in scuba diving, slept on a tiny house on an island when scuba diving, learned horse riding in Saint Augustin, got lost in the mountains when hiking near Armenia (visit Salento!). Partied super hard at night in Medellin, Cali and Bogota. People were super friendly, approaching me and other travelers and telling us how happy they are the things have changed in Colombia and foreigners are now visiting. The climate is super interesting since you are near the equator but also have the Andean mountains. You basically can get every temperature you want. From hot Caribbean (and overrated) Cartagena, to the city of eternal spring, Medellin, to cold Bogota. I love the Candelaria district in Bogota (as I once loved Santa Teresa in Rio). It is a magic place and brings me happiness.

People change, countries change, and I may change again. What worries me about Colombia is that more and more foreigners are coming (voted as number ?. tourist destination last year). This is seldom a good thing. Sooner or later the place will change and people will get fed up with tourists. SO if you want to visit, better visit now and not in 10 years.

I took those lines basically verbatim (translated from Danish) from Just-Eat's Danish website. I am pretty sure they're violating GDPR, based on what they say in their privacy policy. Collecting usage data and sending data to third-party marketing companies is not vital to running a food ordering website. A ToS is not a legally binding contract, and I have not been asked for direct consent to their use of my data.

This seems realistic, if it's not like that today it may soon be. But I think this is exactly the sort of scenario that doesn't go together with all the claims of responsible use of AI powers.

Given the oligopolistic structure of the industry, throwing an unlucky minority under the bus without recourse just because it's statistically "rational" will not hold up.

I think Google knows that and there will be some sort of more systematic fix (compared to reddit posts and friends at Google).

Some AI algorithms can explain how they came to the conclusion they came to and why not have a paid support option as well.
Assuming that birds are a group of therapod dinosaurs, as many scientists now describe them, it is true that all extant dinosaurs are feathered.
