How is this preventing anyone booting up an old pc and sharing a usb key data. This is utter nonsense made to control people and instigate fear and self censorship... this is 'the system' discovering the internet in slow motion an

tried to roll my own email server on a .xyz domain...basically a big no go, couple of emails went through, then nothing, just a black hole. Thanks corpos and the safety theatre.

when the state if the nation is so bad that you have homeless everywhere, healthcare, housing and education are something you have to fight for, prisons are a business, suddenly another perspective seems more alluring, a modern Nordic socia

I'm quite confused, not the same project at all? To me tiny c compiler always meant the bellard page. Super useful stuff for micro hacky projects.

Interesting behaviour, usually any normal rope knot makes the rope weaker at the point of maximum curvature/choking etc. Would be enlightening to get a comparison why the different behaviours, just a scale/friction non linearities

Unhinged capitalism will be the cause of the most devastating global crisis that is just around the corner. You can see it very easily on a simplex plot, you cannot solve for anything useful, like global quality of life, when there are par

It really boils down to medical professionals developing one or more protocols to a peaceful death, this has been hindered by too much religious crap being forced down to everyone. Just give me a bag of nox and leave me high and happily pas

Also I think the real estate disaster is one of the main culprits of most 'common people' problems. One cannot afford an early retirement from a taxing job, cos guess what mortgage is a criminal 10-15x their yearly salary..so good

absolutely agree, probably the worst general category in wikipedia, feels very much Bourbakian, extreme rigor and nothing else. Worst way to teach/introduce math imho.

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about GM crops, most people think they are modified to be resist/repel vast types of insects/pests and what not, this is in average not the case and very complex to implement, what they ar

I'll try to setup a meetup group with these premises, see what happens. At this point in life I feel like telling younger (or not) people the things I learned about 'life' in general, maybe it's old news to them, maybe n

It would take about 115k square miles of normal solar panels to cover the world energy use (23000TW), this translates to about 340 miles side square of land, I'm sure we could split this to various solar efficient locations and just cl

yep having a centralized pollution source is much more controllable and optimizable, a breakthrough in emission filtering techology and in a short time span it can be effectively implemented vs decades long new cars renewal cycle... althoug

it looks like the vast majority of our pollution and energy generation through chemical/physical transformation (like the hydrogen in the article) could be rendered 'green' by remembering the free fusion reactor in the sky..

When one considers the whole loop from incredibly polluting mining to disposing and keeping everything decontaminated in the process, fission nuclear should only be seen as a last resort option, as much as I see the great progress that has

Zooming out: I think lots of comments suffer from a combination of workcentric view of life and old school puritan values where work is holy and good no matter what. In a true 'smart' society first thing you would do along with yo

my only trouble is the HW specs, I don't want a mid-low device, I am willing to spend the same I spend for a mid-high Android phone, as long as they manage to keep the basics working , ie solid browser, capable GPS navigation, port&#x2

after many many years of similar dread I came to this conclusion: I have been 'dead' for the past 13 billions years give or take, but then I have been incredibily lucky and won the 'consciousness lottery', that is, for a
