Why?Why aren&#039;t they soldiers?</description>

Clearly.I know where the problem lies.You said China disagrees with Giulio, but China actually agrees with him.



That&#039;s all I said.Next time I will not say revise, but be more specific.Maybe not everything is Ignoratio elenchi ;)</description>

		<description>&quot;Maybe I just didn’t understand all your clearly written out sentences.&quot;
-- it would be easier to simply state that, human language is imperfect, no shame in that (except for being human in the first place)

&quot;If you want, please explain.Thanks in advance (I know you like to help others).&quot;
-- Not really but.. can&#039;t help it... lol, no pun intended =P

&quot;2.China revised&quot;
+M:”I never said it didn’t

&quot;Anyway: China is not &quot;
+ &quot;and I never said it was.”

Was this &quot;helpful&quot;? I mean.. if you did get this the first time, I dont get your reiteration of everything, but.. the conversation MAY have ended. lol</description>

		<description>Well, I don&#039;t know about &quot;near-field&quot; magnetic induction - but I certainly appreciate magnetic induction in general and have used my Touchstone to charge my Palm Pre cell phone everyday since I bought it (too bad HP bought it too!) ... and I sure wish the iPhone and others used the same technique!</description>

		<description>@Marcos: 
 &quot;Do you disagree with yourself often, Mr.X?&quot;
Yes. Sometimes other parts try to take over.

&quot;You’re full of Ignoratio elenchi’s today Mr.X.&quot;
Only today?Maybe I should spend a penny and watch my diet more carefully.Thanks!

Ps:
G.&quot;Or 1 kid? In both cases 2 sounds better to me;-)&quot;
+
M.&quot;2) Chinese government seems to disagree with you here too.&quot;
+
X:&quot;2.China revised it’s policies. The new government thinks there is a need for more young people.&quot;
+
M:&quot;I never said it didn’t and I never said it was.&quot;

Yeah.</description>

I never said it didn&#039;t and I never said it was.

How could it disagree otherwise? Do you disagree with yourself often, Mr.X?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure that&#039;s possible, and even if it was, there will still be a foreign, inanimate object in the tissue- you will still get inflammation. Also, coating something that is 7 microns wide in &quot;FREAKING NEURONS&quot; will double or triple its diameter, and drastically reduce the quality of recordings you can obtain with it- you would be recording from the FREAKING NEURONS you wanted to coat it with.</description>

		<description>Er. We definitely can record from a single neuron with cell-attached or whole cell patch clamp. You can also separate data from a &#039;muddle of neurons&#039; into individual ones using spike sorting/PCA.</description>

		<description>2.China revised it&#039;s policies. The new government thinks there is a need for more young people.

Anyway: China is not Giulio.That nation has more than 1.3 billion &quot;children&quot;, it may be not surprising that one birth would have been perceived by their government as favorable compared to two, if it is already so richly blessed:)</description>

		<description>&quot;Of course, after robots can fight a war, they can also take jobs away from workers.&quot;

For a moment I feared you were going to ask drones to pay veterans taxes...

&quot; The Congress has to start making robots pay the Unemployment Insurance taxes and Social Security taxes of the people they throw out of work.&quot;

NOOOOOOoooooooo....</description>

		<description>&quot;We have so many warfighters who need prosthetic limbs, these new electrodes need to be developed as soon as humanly possible.&quot;

You mean soldiers.They are paid (sold) and wage war in some way.

&quot;There was a story on the news yesterday about a family who lost their son to such a bomb. God how they suffered and cried. We must stop this as soon as we can.&quot;

I too, think you should call your troops back home.

&quot;The Congress has to start making robots pay the Unemployment Insurance taxes and Social Security taxes of the people they throw out of work.&quot;

Depending on the robot, it would make more sense to have the owner pay the taxes.

Or today&#039;s economies need complete restructuring.</description>

		<description>You sure that 1 billion dollars is better than 2? Or 1 kid? In both cases 2 sounds better to me;-)

My point is that technology advances one step at a time. This is just one step, but, I think, an impressive step.</description>

		<description>Let us all hope that Kipke was just making a conservative projection so that he would not be called over-optimistic later if a prediction didn&#039;t come through.  We have so many warfighters who need prosthetic limbs, these new electrodes need to be developed as soon as humanly possible.  It would be such a great improvement in life for so many people.  

This reminds me of an earlier article here at the Kurzweil Newsletter about a company named Boston Dynamics who were developing a robot named &quot;Big Dog&quot; for DARPA.  This is another thing that needs to be hurried along.  We need robots with electronic sniffers to chemically detect the explosives of IEDs.  Better to have robots getting blown up then our people.  There was a story on the news yesterday about a family who lost their son to such a bomb.  God how they suffered and cried.  We must stop this as soon as we can.

Of course, after robots can fight a war, they can also take jobs away from workers.  The Congress has to start making robots pay the Unemployment Insurance taxes and Social Security taxes of the people they throw out of work.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let us all hope that Kipke was just making a conservative projection so that he would not be called over-optimistic later if a prediction didn&#8217;t come through.  We have so many warfighters who need prosthetic limbs, these new electrodes need to be developed as soon as humanly possible.  It would be such a great improvement in life for so many people.  </p>
<p>This reminds me of an earlier article here at the Kurzweil Newsletter about a company named Boston Dynamics who were developing a robot named &#8220;Big Dog&#8221; for DARPA.  This is another thing that needs to be hurried along.  We need robots with electronic sniffers to chemically detect the explosives of IEDs.  Better to have robots getting blown up then our people.  There was a story on the news yesterday about a family who lost their son to such a bomb.  God how they suffered and cried.  We must stop this as soon as we can.</p>
<p>Of course, after robots can fight a war, they can also take jobs away from workers.  The Congress has to start making robots pay the Unemployment Insurance taxes and Social Security taxes of the people they throw out of work.</p>

		<description>You can say this TO ANYTHING...
better 1 bird in hand than 2 flying...
better 1 billion dollars than 2... (sometimes even not in debt)
better 1 abortion than 2... yet,
better 1 kid than 2...
better 1 WTC than 2..
better 1 human extinction than 2...
better 1 better than 2...
better 1 idiot than 2...
better 1 etc than 2...
etc etc... &lt;- doesnt help much.</description>

		<description>omg so stupid... coat the exogenous material with FREAKING NEURONS! You&#039;ll simply get NO inflammation if you derive them from the patients own skin cells! If you can&#039;t interface them in vitro how can you hope to in vivo?! gosh!</description>

		<description>Wow ... I&#039;ll bet you thought we were already able to listen to a single neuron.  Certainly a lot of articles suggest that don&#039;t they?  Nope, we still listen to a &#039;muddle of neurons in the conversation&#039; and make best guesses as to what individual neurons do.  Of course, if you know differently, then the article is being disengenuous by suggesting that the technology is advancing current capabilities ... frustrating article ... 
Also note that despite the purported advantages it will still be a decade (in the researcher&#039;s opinion) before this technology could allow prosthetic-brain interfaces implying much longer for current tech ... despite articles to the contrary.</description>

		<description>They should investigate the possibility of building NFMIC nano particles , that can penetrate synapses and stay there. That nano particles should  be capable of reading and writing signals on every individual synapse on a single neuron in totally non intrusive manner .</description>
