>but after you did that the two 'you's (one human, one something else) look at each other and only 1 is you.

Why? A copy of me IS me.

>There is no magic 'soul' or whatever flying over during the transfer taking the self with it.

The information in your brain IS your soul, basically. What else defines "you" if not that?

>Another instance of me is not me; everyone will think it's me (I will think so too, however I see a nice psychological Philip K Dickian mess coming up with you thinking the rest of your life that you are not you) but it's not. I wouldn't really care at all for that kind of 'immortality'.

I can not understand this preference, it just makes no sense to me. As long as one copy of me lives on that is all that matters. It doesn't matter which copy. The specific atoms that make me up don't matter. Why would it matter if I live on being made up of one set of atoms or another?
Not allowing shitty (or pirated!) music is a hard problem to solve.

As others have said, shitty is entirely subjective.

But pirated is a really easy problem to solve. Just run it through an identifier like Echoprint.

That is a misnomer. Oil accounts for about 22% of our GDP. Fact is, GDP per capita is only so much higher than that of the US, about 10% I'd say.

We can "afford to be environmental" the same way any country would be able to afford to be.
The real difference is our wealth distribution which is leaps and bounds ahead of most of the world, here in Norway a higher percentage of the population are simply able to afford the car and that is what we're seeing in Tesla's market share.
you are right, I should have backed it up, but the owner forgot to pay the bill on the backup server. So the only backup is on my time machine. Which means I need a laptop with similar configuration to restore. And right now no one is willing let me erase their mac book pro to restore backup.

I also thought about implementing a language that bases on this, a language that sees the world in all it's shapes as raw numbers, a matrix, renderable as graphs. This is so freaking awesome, that I cannot stop thinking about the crazy new ideas this injected into me and suspect that I'm probably becoming a numberphile.

Interestingly, I was just reading the Book (hardcover) with the recursive Title: "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" by Benoit Mandelbrot. And this brings an entirely new meaning into my world view after combining the ideas behind this and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifractal_analysis#technique...
I don't have to believe in magic or even in god to have my doubts. There is so much we still can't explain. Especially about the brain.

But let's suppose we are able to copy a human atom by atom. Even then a copy of me is not me. Maybe it is identical to me on a atomical level for a tiny fraction of time. But then it would be a different person with different impressions and different thoughts just because it looks in a different direction.

Whoa! There are a ton of pity scams online and there are other people in this thread that are suspicious too. It's your prerogative what you do with your money but certain things about the post just make me feel off. I might be right, or I might be wrong.

I'd never knowingly try to stop someone from doing good, but by the same token, warning that this might be a scam is prudent.

Such things exist... successful researchers can get buyouts from most of their classes at some universities. The problem is, there is way more teaching that needs to be done then research that needs to be paid for.

Also, in many places, the professors teach the grad students, who teach the undergrads in kind, like a big pyramid, but it requires active research to keep the professors relevant to the grad students.
Aarhus is great btw, the BEST CITY i have lived in out of all the places in China, USA and Germany.
So, this start-up has been developing code for a year without releasing anything. Has no money. Is relying at least partially on a developer who has been on the edge of disaster with no payment from this project for a year.

Sounds like a recipe for a disaster to me. If you can't get to your code then I assume that sets the start-up even further back.

How do you know the start-up could be successful? There is no way to tell until you start trying to pick up paying users and get something out into the wild. Until then, it's just one person blindly trusting another.

The bottom line here seems to be that you aren't really bothered and the Macbook would give you extra cash. You have already been making cash from other sources. So, what are you asking for? New students for your classes? Someone to lend you a Macbook Pro? This probably isn't the best place to ask.

Which is why in some countries giving aid actually _does_ grant you legally immunity against claims over mistakes or accidents that happened while doing so.

That includes first aid by laymen at the roadside and of course extends to international organisations.

But in those cases, any attempt to cover up problems would likely reduce the protection (because it's not in good faith anymore)

Hahah. You are the one full of anger because someone has a different opinion than you, it seems. Look, I don't know how to spell it to you if you don't know how to read my post. I mentioned "LOW INVOLVEMENT" in big letters so that I'd hope you would read it, but it seems like I wasted my time.

> I've installed them for student tenants, thinking I was doing a great thing and maybe preventing them from killing themselves with an unattended cooking fire, and you know what, two months later when I went around every single one, every single flat I manage, had knocked their alarms down

This sentence proved that you are not a regular person who uses only a single or two smoke detectors for their home. So you are not relevant. Almost nobody is like you. I have two smoke detectors and they only triggered once in 7 years living in the same place, and I had no issue whatsoever to stop them. This is probably in line with most people who have LOW INVOLVEMENT with these kind of things. You know, when you only use something like once a year or less?

If you think everyone is going to buy the best of the best in every category of prodcuts and spend all of their cash on things they don't really care about, you are in for a big surprise.

> What, are you angry because they made such a good product?

I'm not angry, I was merely explaining my point of view and I have no idea why you take my view as one of an angry person or something. I found their video nice, they did a good job, I'm just saying it won't change the fact that most people will not care and will not even know about it and keep going on with their business as usual.

Actually you are going to look like the worst kind of asshole for calling me names while I have never attacked you personally. That's ad hominem at best and frankly this is not surprising for someone who makes blanket statements about everything.

lol @ title
I haven't read anything in the link, but I guess that if the simulation system is of sufficient precision and that it is accurate enough for known chemical reactions, such a simulation system should be able to be pushed further and it may end up simulating events and phenomena that have not been observed in the real world before.

Bonus points if they observe real world reactions that agree with the model after the simulation has run.

I'm older than 90% of my immediate colleagues (part of that is enjoying making things rather than being a manager).

Outside tech, indeed I wouldn't be considered old.
Several generic approaches yield results:-

1. You take a lot of empirical observations of known reactions, build a predictive model, then apply it to contexts you don't have empirical observations of.

2. You program in the low level rules of chemistry (e.g. quantum mechanics), and see how the scenario plays out at a higher level (molecular reactions).

I think in their work they are more number 1. A predictive model of proteins without having the simulate the (exceedingly expensive) low level details of QM

What Flipkart has done in so much less time is amazing. Their Logistics are much much better. My college is in a remote area of Chennai. SO there aren't much shops nearby. So the entire population of my college depends on flipkart for its daily needs. This has solved a very big problem for us. And I'm sure there are lot more colleges in India who are connected to the supermarkets via flipkart.
Having access to your own oil is probably not going to boost electric car popularity in general (quite the contrary). I think "they have oil, so they are rich, so they can buy expensive electrical cars" is a bit of a shortcut.
Politicians immune? That't not generally true.

Also, having access to cheap oil/your own oil is probably not the best stimulus for electrical car ownership, so I think there's definitely more going on than that :)

Why should an international organisation that placed soldiers from a cholera-infected region into a region that was known historically to have very bad immunity without so much as a blood screening, then have said soldiers dump their waste (which is how cholera spreads), in a local river where masses of those non-immune people drink from ?

Why the hell should such an organisation be held blameless ? Seriously.
UpYourTime
You've got to get paid for all the hours you've worked and you've got to know just how profitable your fixed price projects are. But you've got better stuff to do than filling up timesheets, don't you? That's why we created UpYourTime. You register hours and projects on the go and you get back to work in an instant. And if you're the one who counts everybody's hours at the end of the week, you've got all the reports you need with no trouble at all.
> I think it's worth it due to increased quality of life the Norwegian system brings.

I visited Oslo a few years back, very briefly, and indeed it did seem like a very nice and well run place.

But no amount of nice social systems will buy you sunshine, so I'm still here in Italy.
I'm only casually familiar with chemistry, but I used to do research of a similar type (only far worse, of course) related to electromagnetism.

You know the main mechanisms at work, but that does not mean you can study all the processes. Sometimes it's just that the sheer size of the mathematical model itself is basically impossible to study without a computer. Oftentimes, though, it's the inadequate formulation of a model that doesn't allow you to simulate it.

A good simulation is an immensely useful tool. There are phenomenons which you know and can simulate, but you cannot easily measure their parameters while they are happening (e.g. you risk disrupting the phenomenon because of your measurement installation). I imagine this is even more so for chemists.

Real-life example from my own research: we worked on tools that helped engineers who designed really high-frequency ICs (think tens of GHz) study things like cross-talk through the substrate. The mechanism itself is basically well-understood, but save for really, really simple structures that are nothing like those in an IC, you can't solve that by hand. Of course, ours were modest achievements, but the point is that this kind of research can open new gates and shouldn't be considered "second-rate".

And then what happens is that people buy cars from neighboring countries and register them there. Happens here in Romania. A lot of people (overall a small percentage of all the cars on the road, true), register their cars in Bulgaria. Especially from Bucharest easy it's - just a 60km drive to the nearest Bulgarian town where the car can be registered/serviced.
My issue with tax incentives is that they are given without regard to income level of the buyers. I do not believe tax incentives should be given to the companies that produce the cars, only to the public who buys them and then only weighed against income level.

Being shielded from criticism and responsibility is the root of all evil and having a good mission does nothing to change that - if anything, it aggravates it: When you believe what you're doing is Unequivocally Good(tm), you're more likely to see through transgressions in the pursuit of the greater good.

The UN, like various police forces, the NSA, the military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are all committed to very commendable ends, some obviously more successfully than others. Even if they do enjoy some level of legal immunity from direct responsibility, that privilege must come with a strong and unambiguous demand that all transgressions are investigated throughly, justice is served and lessons are applied to avoid future transgressions.

Even if the contamination was an unfortunate mistake, the cover-up (if the complainants are right) was a grave crime and no level of good-doing can excuse that.

> A benefit of 64-bit is the ability to put more than 4GB of memory in smartphones

This is an annoying piece of misinformation that always rears its ugly head in 64-bit discussions. There are many ways to address more than 4GB of memory, going 64-bit is far from the only option.
Thank you! Just implemented gzip support and released 1.0.4.
There is stuff that hasn't been explained, that doesn't mean you can therefore assume your hypothesis which is overly complicated, completely contradicts everything we know about physics, evolution, neuroscience, etc, has a non-negligible probability of being true.

By your logic, the person who will call themselves "you" two seconds from now isn't "you" either. I'd still rather die with a copy of me with 1 second worth of different experiences then no copies at all.

Maybe you need to travel more around in your own country.

Not everyone has a family to fall on or gets the expected help from the social institutions.

I travel regularly in Spain and am aware of such situations.
There are programs which allow you to input desirable qualities (smell, color, density, /non/conductor, molecule mass, stereo orientation to name a few, very basic ones) and it will make computations and it will give you possible compounds.

Also software in chemistry can be used to simulate reactions and processes, which can take years to analyze with conventional methods(if at all possible), like folding protein chains.

I can't edit. I would like to add:

it's not as much a problem of displaying large images than displaying large images in <img> with smaller width and height.

Interestingly the aforementioned website works like a charm with opera mini running on my feature phone.
Chrome also uses some kind of sharpening filter for upscaling (on every image) if running on a HiDPI system, such as a Macbook Retina.

I'm not sure what filter that might be, but it sure looks good.
I agree with your analysis. If one is so keen to visit America - welcome to Canada! :) Optionally, wait until Stephen Harper is ousted :)

Also, a little reminder. It is the American citizenry that made the US "a beacon of liberty" in the first place. And I believe it can do it again. Do you say it will take 20-30 years to happen?
And what about the following scenario: your brain and DNA gets transferred to a computer, and after millenia you get a young body and your brain transferred back. In this case we need to get funded only the brain to computer transfer technology.
I think it's great. In the future all GNU tools will probably be extensible with Scheme.
> it's slower

It's slower, but... does it matter if it's not just "slow"? Slower than "so fast" is still "fast".

> and more involved

That's right.

> Also, unless you're going to be using WAVs, there's going to be some overhead for the decoding of the sound.

If I recall correctly, Firefox's Audio Data API does the decoding for you and provides the final PCM samples even when loading non-WAV formats.

> Also, the filter won't be very high order since you're going to be doing at least n 44100 operations per second

If the effect computation is a problem, you can pre-render it in a buffer.

Anyways, n*44100 operations per second is not that much. You actually operate on buffers, which makes caching useful for the slow part (memory access). Summing, multiplying, etc. is a piece of cake for your CPU in JIT-compiled code.

Check this JSFiddle I threw in a couple minutes: http://jsfiddle.net/9LpKd/2/ (please mind the awful effect and the fact that it's not audio... I'm not very experienced with Audio Data API and that would take me a bit more to fiddle with!)

44000 pixel updates, up to 60 times a second, with pretty expensive operations (sines, cosines and even square roots!), updating DOM values... JavaScript is fast enough for this.

I can see the problem in mobile devices though, but I'm not even sure Firefox provides Audio Data API in mobile devices.

>Do you have examples of the above working in Firefox? I'd be curious to see the implementation.

The only web implementing it that I can remember is http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ (you have to check the HTML5 audio radio button).

Unfortunately the code is minified and it takes a bit to make sense of it after Beautifying.
> forgot to pay the bill on the backup server

I'm not sure I believe the "owner" is telling the truth. If he forget to pay the bill (why isn't it a credit card recurring subscription?), or the credit card failed due to insufficient funds, then he would have received multiple emails warning of service termination.

Why aren't you backing up your code to private repositories, ones that can be had for free from bitbucket.org? Even Dropbox would have been a good alternative, although you might want to encrypt anything sensitive!

If you're telling the truth, I'm certain you need to walk away from this sketchy owner and this bankrupt startup.
