How can somebody (without access to a lab) practically implement that technique?

The hardware is pretty cheap.

I don't think it makes much sense to seperate skills into platonically/romantically.

If you look at some PUA who goes for a one-night stand "romantic" isn't the label I would use to describe the interaction. On the other hand it's a word that I could reasonable use to describe an intimite Bachata dance between two people who just meet.

The ability to be physically intimite with the opposing sex without getting tense is valuable.

In dance the man leads the woman. For a shy male that's a valuable skill to learn.

Dancing doesn't teach you everything. It doesn't teach you having good conversations. The things that it teaches you are still valuable.

There no reason why we should give more status to tall people or who are otherwise physically strong. It's much better to give status to those people who are smart enough to apply hacks.

Do you know anything about the long term safety of the method?

What about that ex-girlfriend with whom things ended badly? Now she walks down the streets of your town with her new boyfriend. What if you could change a setting in your Google glasses and have him removed from view?

I think most people don't like the idea of shutting down their own perception in this way. Having people go invisible to yourself feels like you lose control over your reality.

I find myself speaking differently with my NLP grad school colleagues than I do with non-CS friends, for instance. It's automatic.

This means that humans are quite adaptable and can speak differently to the computer than they speak to their fellow humans.

I mean with parent with with their 3 year old toddler the same way they speak on the job? The computer is just an additional audience.

Just because humans are involved doesn't mean that the whole system is constrained by the human element.

Is he basically proposing to do the opposite of Occam's razor?

If you don't have any collateral and someone loan's you $500,000 it's partly their problem for engaging in the loan.

Munchkin's care about whether ideas work.

I don't thin that faking a death in a tragic and dramatic fashion is a good idea. The police investigates deaths that are in tragic and dramtic fashion.

There are probably much better publicity stunts. The most straightforward that comes to my mind would be having sex in the MoMA. You'll need a person to fill film it for youtube.

Afterwards I think all the art folk will talk about the issue.
