I don't like the idea of a computer that can think for itself, I don't like the idea of computers will replace humans jobs, I don't like the way we are heading.

In japanese culture, there's always this Tatemae, meaning you put on a different front everyday for work or even with friends so when you're alone with your partner or whoever, you act like a baby to get taken care of.

Its so difficult to show your true self if you follow japanese culture. There are many who are more westernized and open and say what they want but still, there's this shyness or a barrier you always have.

Sometimes you just have to say F it and just say what you want!

The best part is that it tastes exactly like fast food because the robot, like fast food workers, also doesn't want to be making shitty pizza for you.

Is it just me or has this DNSCrypt project been doing things without any prior announcement?

Last month or so, the main GitHub repo for DNSCrypt randomly got deleted. It wasn't until several days later, the author posted a tweet saying he/she are not supporting it anymore.

Now it has seemingly been resurrected...after I have already configured my server to use a new project called getdns (and stubby).

So, based off the map, the Indian subcontinent is basically fucked right? Although I am surprised by places like Italy or Peru.

Not sure if this will end up in consumer devices but it would be a hell of a lot better than SSD chips soldered onto laptop motherboards. The latest ultraportables all seem to have soldered SSDs because once Apple did it and the world kept spinning, that made it okay for Dell and everyone else to follow suit. Of course the SSDs themselves would have to become easily available for people to upgrade their laptops or it will just be the next MXM standard, upgradeable in theory but no one actually does it.

I wonder if Mike Nifong's prodigy was one of the complaining students. Keep your head up Professor, there are plenty of us in your corner! Let's petition Coach K to speak up on your behalf and see if the school has the balls to fire him too...

You could say, someone lost their shirt on this one.

Also using Wikidata links, you’ll get support for many more languages. It is also much easier to process by bots to get more relevant statistics on many more terms than the very anglo-centered and too limited Swadesh list.

This is very interesting facts that cyber security is something required specialized knowledge and training to quickly respond with appropriate info rather than jumping around that actually creates confusion around the industry as such.

We need to end so-called semi private rooms. This fungus was apparently found on the ceiling of a man that died of it. Sick people sharing rooms and toilets is a recipe for disaster.

The author may know of a great deal of harm caused, but so far I remain about ten pole lengths away from panic over my privacy. My Life did not seem to have much, and I have found more on myself in the past by simply googling. Yeah, I don’t like how easy it is for people to see my mostly measly political donations, but only a stalker would give a darn about the facade of my home. Seems like it is more likely we need to fear identity theft than a lack of obscurity. Here’s an idea, if you want more privacy/obscurity, refrain from social media or using your real name in comments sections.

I find Wikipedia tremendously useful and have made modest acknowledgement of that financially. That said, I tried to get them to correct/augment something they had based on a thesis from the 1970's at a top US school. The matter could have been verified but instead it was rejected out of hand and so the content on Wikipedia is less than it might have been. I had a sense the matter was handled with great dispatch and finality.

MS Windows of some 3.x variety was apparently the original selected GUI for the Atari ST, intended to be running from ROM… however, MS couldn’t apparently get it to fit in less than a couple of megabytes, hex dumps of the code would show a hell of a lot of redundant x86 stuff in there, like references to hercules drivers and all manner of bloat that they couldn’t strip. They seemed to be disassembling the binaries to translate to 680×0 assembly and kludging it that way rather than from source, which was always rumoured to be a complete mess for the early windows versions. Anyhoo, apparently Trammiel got pissed at MS for lack of progress on shrinking and refining it and went with a version of GEM instead.

Sometimes one wonders why the Times wanders so far afield, picking up where the New Yorker and others once thrived. Other times, like this one, the cause is clear, pure and joyous, a stab in the literary darkness of our times.

That last warning comes so close to being a good horror movie quote. "Something or somebody is making changes to your connection" should obviously be "Someone or ... something".

The true monster was the intrusive firewall/AV all along.

Since WW2 the difference between war and peace have been more and more blurred. Proxy wars, drones and "cyber warfare" have made open conflicts directly between superpowers almost non-existent.

Classic warfare, atomic, biological and chemical weapons all have rules and a loads of regulations. The "cyber" sector have a long process ahead to catch up. Unfortunately no one seems interested in being really serious about it it, but I certainly wish they will start work on it.

Hopefully we will never experience an all-out "cyber war". Probably a new kind scenario with massive damages to infra structure, lots of civilian casualties and almost no losses among military personal.

This is the best way to monetize my searches. And it's so good for whole planet!

The vulnerability is in the browser’s code itself. If you have the stable channel for Chrome added into Linux, then you just have to run ‘sudo dnf update.’

And this was their best decision imho.

Another model could be to run an air compressor from the turbine. Compression will give you a heater, and then releasing the compressed air will give you cooling.

Thinking about it some more, you should also be able to get kinetic energy out (or electricity) and water, by running a turbine on the compressed air and collecting moisture from the cooled air.

Essentially one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and_refrigeration_cy... - they're not technically as efficient as a phase change, but if it's simpler and there are fewer moving parts, it might be a win.

I hope that I will not forget to try it when I will be in Germany.

NYC needs these--plus, it would be a great test. Public restrooms or even stores/restaurants that will allow you to use their restrooms are rare indeed. Would be a great test of the design too. If your toilet can make it there, it can make it anywhere!

Inouï in French is a well-understood word that means "unheard-of" or unbelievable. No French person would mistake it for "ennui."
