Pain is a warning and defense mechanism even animals have this. Pain is also subjective as some people cannot feel pain. It is obvious you cannot prove any of what you talk about.

If your friends all drive Mercedes, BMW or Rolls and all wear watches the price of a house you are hardly going to impress them.

@nireviews8492 Film was still being shown up unto 2010 and beyond that even. The last film I seen was around 2012.

The technology that will allow us to live on mars will also be the technology that will transform our civilization. The things I talk of are nanotechnology, computing, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, energy abundance and space travel. Humans do not use 98% of the space on earth nor do we even use the oceans at present. Education and material abundance will get rid of the slums. Mars and the moon will probably be our first engineered space habitats. Its a brave new solar system.

The crisis was caused by government interference in the market place.

@Anonymous_Lee19 No Lee it is not that. These are not my own views nor are they my own desires but just an explanation. The idea of the tokens/crypto is to take some of the financial power that corporations currently have and to have it distributed into the market place. The idea is that a user can take those tokens and use them to build on the net without the need for corporations to providing funding. So an enterprising user could build an organisation that could purely be constructed from those tokens. Every user will have access to those tokens. The key here is to understand that it does not mean a user will not have access when they have no tokens but if that user wants to trade or build they will require them. We also have a plug in our thinking hole in that we cannot imagine such a system with next generation technologies such as vr and ai. What exactly would such a world be?

There is nothing wrong with a person defending them self with a gun. If there life is in danger they have that right.

Some of you have hypersonic on the brain yet have no idea what it means.

It is confusing because web 3.0 and web3 are two different things.

He is a guy with money that has to invest it. His strategy can work if used sensibly. Now I am of the complete opposite and want diversification. My portfolio exist of money, land, stocks and shares, Index investment, Direct company shares, Agriculture and cash. My view is that hedged investments are a must so that you do not loose everything or get hammered. His strategy does work as well as long as you do not invest every penny you have which is more than likely what he does.

I am sure the person who buys the 35 grand watch will also go on cruises if they desire and they probably go skiing as well and Scuba diving. They probably fly business or first class as well. They probably drive a BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Rolls or Bentley.

Your sympathy is irrelevant. Many people lost their way of life because of the crisis. Some never recovered again.

They took a massive hit of course but they are still there if you invested wisely. He did state some useful advice investing in the stock market is not wise for most people. And most people cannot out perform professional investment firms who employ all manner of analysts. If you notice he did not give any direct advise.

It will more than likely occur in the 2020s. When there will be super computers that will have the power and the human brain will have been studied in enough detail for computer architecture to be constructed in a fashion that will allow brain computer simulation. The future is much closer than what people realize. We are now only starting to touch the surface of the concept of quantum computing and that will be truly revolutionary and the human brain will be tiny in comparison.

The 5nm sizes being claimed to not actually mean anything.

Not even close to it. 70mm has a resolution of about 18k and can form screen sizes so large that no digital cinema could come close to it.
1
@renegade637 70mm IMAX at 15 perf is the largest cinema screens in the world. 65mm film projectors can make an image far larger and more clear than any digital cinema can do. Even 35 can do a larger screen. 35mm has a minimum resolution of about 8k. It is not even a contest.

What if you construct a machine that is an exact replica of the body with nerves and also with nanotechnology cells that are an exact replica even down to genetics. Will that machine be able to feel pain.
1
The US has a massive microchip requirement that is going to get stronger as the years advance.

35mm film has a resolution that is about 8K. There are no digital theaters or home set up at that level. Then there is the fact that no digital system can match the color presentation of film.
1
@LORDVADER357 There are very limited 8k projectors that get used in science museums as part of some display in the open floors. They are simply not cinema grade projectors though. Most cinema films today are actually 2k digital not 4k digital.

@Izann1 When he is asked to leave he has to do so. The parents are nothing to do with it.

@John-yg2rt No they are a sound company that are a good investment. There are other companies out there with a similar outlook. They had a long track record and do not do anything crazy or stupid. When you invest you know what you will get.

Are you claiming that pain is not part of the nervous system. Yes or no.

$50k is a start why be pessimistic when 20 years ago most of this would have been considered Science fiction. We will have the capabilities in 10 years to go to mars but will we is another question.

Computing power is growing exponentially so by the time we reach the mid 2020s computing power will be more than what is required to do a human brain level simulation. A fruit fly simulation was not possible 20 years ago and neither was parts of the human brain. I remember 15 years ago that people said an insect brain could not be done and when it was point out that by 2010 there would be the computing power people did not believe this. This also applied to the human genome.

Film has a resolution of 8K digital is nowhere near that level.

I am assuming that you mean we have not dealt with all of mankinds problems. The type of science and technology that will take us to mars will also help us on earth.

Governments have to invest and also see a return from their investment we cannot have a situation were government just sits there and gains its income of taxing people it makes not logical sense. They need to partake in the market and for people to stop thinking that the market is actually government that is one of the reasons that so many governments are in massive financial trouble.

@Alexander-vg4ss Socialism is not compatible with capitalism. It is like saying a little bit pregnant. Socialism is about complete control and ownership of everything from money, property and labour by the whole economy. That means you would not be allowed to own anything and would also be subject to the system of socialism. There is no half way in between. People confuse a social contract with socialism so you will hear people talking about fire service and police being socialism when they are nothing of the sort.

Part 2 Elon Musk is an example of a person who has built 2 companies with billion dollar valuations. Can you name others please. Was cuban lucky absolutely not he went and pitched his company to Yahoo and managed a billion dollar plus sale (share options) Do you think that was luck or easy. Do you think the world works that way. Do you know how many people pitch companies everyday with out success. I have been involved in several failures.

And what do you do when they are American citizens maybe even 4th generation. And what about Americans who have converted to Islam would you deport them as well. And how would you deport them if they are from America.

Spiritual? That is just mystical and holds no scientific value what so ever. Human consciousness is derived from electrical activity in the brain just as a worm has neural electro-activity in clusters. Pain is a chemical reaction in the brain and people who lack this chemical reaction can some times not feel pain. So are those types of people any less human in your eyes.
1
I am sure he is laughing all the way to the bank. it still stands most people should not go near the stock market even profession active investors struggle to match the market. Over 60% of professional cannot even match market growth so Cuban is right and you are wrong.

@generalralph6291 Such a concept is either going to intersect with ai or it is going to happen after the ai break development of the web.

It may keep working but it is a mechanical device that has wear within its movements and if you leave it too long it may require a complete overhaul. Depending on the watch every 5 years a clean up and check and a little lubrication will do it no harm.

Web 3.0 is not the same as web3. Web 3.0 is a set of loosely canonized protocols that would run web services. Web3 is an idea of decentralizing the internet. They are two different things to be honest. We are currently at a crossroads in terms of what direction we go in. Either the internet/web will become more centralized or it will go down the decentralized road. Both will have advantages and disadvantages.

Clearly you are hanging out with the wrong people. Everybody I know has a watch.
