I say it's so cool that in South Carolina the mighty politics have rid the place of theft, poverty, crappy education, inaccessible healthcare and other ailments so they can focus on the real problems that are left to solve.

If a word offends you, it's your own problem with the word, not the person who said it. When a word loses its shock value, it won't be used as a curse word anymore. So the more you care about the issue, the less likely it is to go away.

Monkey trumpets!

Do they ride on the roofs of the trains because it's too hot inside or because they don't like to sit down?

Maybe there is no room inside, packed like cattle in too few trains.

I guess it's cheaper to spray them with paint than to add more train. Damn people who want to commute! How dare they?!?

It's hard to find an appropriate comment before such an obscene display of overkill spending. I'll just say this:

Home theater: $6M
Lazy boy couch: $1,200
People without access to electricity on Earth: 3B

It's hard to take one video shot of some garage workshop experiment at face value. From the possibility of complete hoax to "flaw in reasoning", not to mention honest mistake, there's so much in this that does not pass scientific evaluation.

- Big snake nest of wire
- No diagram
- No clear view where those ampmeters/voltmeters are in the circuits
- Not enough information to reproduce the experiment

And as an explanation, we have an MIT professor 'stumped' by it. There were many comments from people closer to nuts and bolts that offered much simpler explanation. I don't have a huge background in electrical engineering, so I can only second the explanation that appear sound.

And as a last comment, wouldn't it be a more proper way to "create load" by inserting a resistance, something that "consumes" power, instead of shorting the circuit (which is like 0 ohm resistance, save the internal resistance of the wires, which, clearly is not much)?

Topology... headache...

Neat though!

It's astonishing. They have mastered the art of invisibility!

I think we got the purpose wrong.

It actually keeps the polar bears away. And for those who think "duh! there's no polar bear in Malta!", I would say: "Well exactly, it works!"

It gets really funny towards the end where they dress up in their little mormon shirt and preach atheism to people in Salt Lake City.

A good example of how proselytism is bad. You can have any belief you want. Gold tablet, magic translation stones and white native americans and all. Don't force it on other people.

This is pretty good! Thanks!

This ad = teh funny!

These people have a really good sense of humour.

So it's a thousand years old piece of jerky, bone-in? Sorry, I'll pass.

I like posts like this. I file them under the category of "interesting". There are plenty of sites that will posts pictures of cute kittens, maybe the people disturbed by interesting stuff should visit those. (don't get me wrong, I like cute kittens too)

I can provide a lot of hair from my shower if you're interested :)

It looks amazing from the demo. My concern is that it demands that the algorithm _knows_ what are the important features of a picture.

I'm eager to try this on one of my random picture and see how it performs.

Indoctrination needs to start early when the mind is soft and malleable. This is how religions spreads, by the forcing of fairy tales to children.
