  • The French will never agree.

    Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

    They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, "Fuck with us and we will end you."

  • If we all exist in a simulation, what will happen once we start running out of RAM?

    Jump

  • Simply put.

    We wouldn't notice anything.

    Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.

    The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.

    Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.

    Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City

  • People thinking the English language is static and has to follow rules.

  • Rakuten launches cloud storage with unlimited file transfers, targets businesses and individuals, with free 10GB storage

    Jump

  • unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.
