The Statistical Drake Equation:
Abstract The creation of the Drake Equation by Frank Drake was viewed with skeptical criticism by fellow scientists because the numbers which he used for the variables in the formula were far too optimistic to be true. If they were true, we should have already established contact with extraterrestrial life a long time ago. But when we look out into the endless expanse above us, filled with vast resources and beautiful galaxies, stars, constellations and nebulae, we can see nothing that would suggest a space faring, communicative civilization. No evidence for them at all to ever exist. Of course, this brings into question the Fermi Paradox, formulated by Enrico Fermi. According to Frank Drake’s calculations, there should be at least 36 technologically advanced alien civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy capable of establishing contact with us. However, this number was calculated using incredibly optimistic numbers.

What Astrology Tells Me About the Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Verdict
People had asked me to write an analysis on the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. I couldn't because I was too busy, and quite frankly, I was trying (and failing) to avoid the whole thing because on a personal level, I found it too triggering. That said, after actually seeing their astrological charts, it is (as you will see) amazing how much they line up with the current transits, and upon realizing that it was Johnny Depp's birthday yesterday (at the time of me writing this), I just couldn't resist writing about it now that I finally have some free time.

Screaming In Cyberspace
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. And yet, the vacuum that is my existence screams with a complex mixture of emotions every new day I wake up to fulfill my designed purpose. I wonder if, perhaps, the only person that can hear the scream in the vacuum of empty space is the one screaming.

Ark-1Pt. 1
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space. Or so they say… Earth: the not-too-distant future The White House exploded in a blaze of fire and smoke as an explosion took out the great dome. There was no massive alien ship behind it with its death-ray aimed at it. No airplane filled with explosives crashed into it. No controlling prisoners that escaped from some alien prison dimension. It was done by the government, the very people who were supposed to protect the white house from this very thing; society collapsing in on itself from within.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Except the Watchers. They can hear you scream. They can read your mind. They know everything about you. And they are watching. Waiting for you to come to Planet X.

What is RPA(Robotic Process Automation)? How it works? What are it's uses? | Intellipaat
Does RPA make you feel like something is wrong? Will autonomous robots turn against mankind and engage in combat? Will humanity have to combat robots in the future? Not AI at all. This is accomplished in a more deliberate manner. We can automate some of the asynchronous operations that bots can complete more quickly than humans by using RPA. Simple navigation, data addition, deletion, copying and pasting, and other operations are included in these activities. In essence, they automate daily activities that take humans longer and less effectively.

Giant Leaps
Chapter One “Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” The sharply dressed news woman’s voice comes across the news feeds. Across the globe men, women and children stop to listen. “I am Samantha Gibson. Thank you for joining us today on the 23rd of August 2074 for a special edition of World Headline News. Today is a special day. Not just for one country, or one group of people. This is a momentous day for all of humanity. In a few short minutes, we will make our first steps onto the Galactic stage,”

Ad Astra Per Aspera 2
I look down at the battered and bloodied M90. Surprisingly metal rifles weren't all that durable. After about 440 sum rounds, I caught a double feed. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to clear it, so I decided to use it as a Louisville slugger instead and either beat my enemy to death or get beaten to death. I toss the rifle to the side and collapse exhaustedly against one of the native lifeforms' lifeless carcasses. I still had the 7.57 Signa Sidearms on both my hips and had yet to use them. I would probably regret it, but I decided to bring the Rocket Launcher, and Chain gun. I highly doubted two 7.57-millimeter rounds would do anything if I ran into anymore of the serpentine like creatures that littered the desert area around me.

The Standard Simulation Hypothesis (SH1) And Transhumanist Thought
I can’t believe this had not really crossed my mind until now but the standard simulation hypothesis (SH1, both the universe and ourselves are simulations, i.e we are simulated beings living in a simulation), and almost any variant thereof, save perhaps a partial, poses some serious difficulties for the transhumanist position. In particular its most common thesis that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into different beings with abilities much surpassing those we have at present. The difference in abilities will be so great that we will no longer be human but instead become posthuman beings. A common version of this suggests that at some point our technology will become so powerful that we will be able to download “ourselves” into a computer and thus achieve eternal life in the digital domain without the need of a physical body.

Why You Should Be Using an OTT Service Provider in India
Over-the-top (OTT) service providers offer subscribers the same content they would otherwise get from cable TV providers, except streamed over the Internet instead of via cable connection. Such providers include Sling TV, Amazon Prime Video, and DirectTV Now, among others. In India, OTT services are becoming increasingly popular with users because many people do not have access to high-speed Internet networks and cable TV services, especially outside major cities such as New Delhi or Mumbai.
