Meh, if Mark Zuckerberg has only that one, same, tired sideways quote dragged out and tossed around every time criticism is leveled against him, then Christ almighty if he isn't squeaky clean. A little too clean, if you really wanted m

Hmmm, so a there's a broad suspicion that endocrine disruption is a widespread problem, and suddenly we see a dubious article provoking confusion, and possibly a lot of very costly research only to determine we might've been barki

This makes me want less software control in my vehicle. Ideally none.

Yes, that's the idea. Force specialization in the attack sphere, reduce the attacker population with prerequisite knowledge as an entry barrier, simultaneously shrinking the targetable hosts. Yes, I get that electronic signaling is ele

The only way true isolation will emerge, is by regulatory mandate of a purpose defined hardware implementation, with a separate protocol, different datagrams (instead of TCP/IP/UDP packets) and independent land line plants, unders

Put another way, there doesn’t seem to be any apparent correlation between effort and success.

Much ado about nothing. You could say a waste of time is worth a waste of time. I don’t think there’s anything to fix here, when the real problem is adults with the power to vote, can have their votes swayed by Saturday morning cartoons, be

Yeah, one terabyte is simply an absolutely gigantic octal value, with a trillion place settings. Perfect for storing a quantity of high resolution “unique numbers” which you might need to recall at some point, when you want to match them up

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have some really limited applications. There are maybe 5 or 6 silver bullet consumer ideas I can think of, but they’re such prohibitively expensive concepts that I can’t think of a way to bring these id

I don’t think you should feel bad about it. The New York Times should be held to a high standard.

Feature phones that run android will lack an accelerometer, might lack a camera, but any phone without a microphone would certainly be strange. Nonetheless, there's nothing preventing a system bus from reporting that a virtual device e

The problem with this type of system is that the primary benefit is outnumbered by at least two unwanted detriments. The primary benefit is that remote control can be effective from around the world and outer space. This is countered by the

So, the guy “Travis Bickled” you?

Yes, and now you’ve mentioned that it was mentioned in the article. So here we are, mentioning things.

Hey, neat! Jupiter almost has an octagon on it's north pole (and nearly a pentagonal version on it's south pole), similar to Saturn's northern polar hexagon! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn'

Also, consider the ecological effects. It may be wiser to coalesce material and fabricate structures as satellites than to import them onto the surface of Earth.

Expiration after installation makes sense from the perspective of planned obsolescence, and in anticipation of long-term-support sunsets. It makes absolutely no sense to the end user, acting as possessor or potentially a reseller of an obje

A discount, in my mind isn’t quite the same as a rebate, even if the net result is the same. A rebate usually requires the full retail price to be paid up front, with the cost savings deferred to a seperate transaction, often paid by the ve

Beside the fact that you should be concerned about whether the controlling company goes out of business, or sells your data, here stands yet another reason to never trust devices that require an internet connection to activate in the first

Wow, you know, I never really thought about it, but this highlights the political premise that all postmortems are only expressions of either extreme shame or heroism, and perhaps only rarely honestly recount mediocre transgressions.

Meanwhile the article links to https://www.igkt.net , which I'm sure, must have some members interested in topology, as applicable to knot tying.

I think it's about force and hardness, contrasted against elastic and inelastic collisions. Either that, or maybe the caustic qualities have something to do with it? I'm not sure of the chemical aspects of the exhaust, but that pa

They also negotiate a rebate. Uh, right. How does that part work, precisely?

But... brain damage? The level of energy at work, required to cause harm like that would have to operate on the level of two sonar pings from hell, fortunitously converging to form a node with appropriate geometry to harm a watermelon-siz

Given TOR's U.S. Navy roots and the theme of TOR's origin story, I can't say I'm particularly shocked at this. That TOR was a technology developed as part of naval research that "no one wanted anymore" was kind

In a shooting war, you wouldn’t want a large conventional rocket attack or zodiac-delivered explosion, to disable the controls for scuttling the ship, and disrupt the chain of command for orders to scuttle due enemy action killing key crew

It sounds like it’s likely to be subsonic, since whatever it is, it’s maintaining a low profile in every way beyond simply being a highly visible white paint job, and appearing on radar at all. The ATC commentary suggests a fast relative sp

If the universe expands in a big bang, collapses in a big crunch, and then expands in another big bang, then it’s not a different universe. The black hole wouldn’t be older than the universe. The black hole is just older than the last, most

Wow, paying money to have a large corporation invasively coerce me into agreeing to adopt obligations that only benefit them? Where do I sign up?
