Right, that's what I mean by "inherent". When all OSs include features like this and all applications know about them, security and malware immunity will be much improved. Linux is usually out front in getting OS features in

I like the part where he talks about Quintessence as if it's a valid scientific concept... not in terms of a hypothetical form of dark energy, but in the original sense that it's the "quinta essentia" or "fifth elem

Nifty concepts. This sort of system being inherent in next generation OS design will be a big factor in limiting or eliminating malware and security issues as they presently exist.

What most graphs showing garbage being thrown into the environment won't show is who is doing the discarding. China, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam dump more plastics into the ocean than all other countries combined. Th

Lots of hyperbole there. That mentality is more or less unique to one large generation in the US, it's not universal and not perpetual. Also, there have been democracies for more than a thousand years that have withstood this sort of t

I agree with your #1 point, humans aren't quite as different from our ancestors as we think. That said, I don't think the author of the article really supported his points adequately. He seems to have a very strange view of the w

If you stretch the definition of consciousness enough, sure. I'd argue that there's a major difference between consciousness and self awareness or sentience.

Personally, I hold the same view of climate change that I've had as long as I've been aware of it. Humanity isn't yet advanced enough socially and in collective maturity to take the necessary actions to stop climate change. W

I'll expand this statement a bit. All sources of information today may provide false, biased, or limited data which is used by the source to subvert the will of the person receiving the information. Therefore, an operational and well t

Much of food science and the media reporting about it is thoroughly co-opted by the foods industry. See also the stories about pushing fat rather than sugar as the cause of obesity in the US. I have a friend with a Phd in food science who

Nah, genetic algorithms are quite well known, and have been taught in college courses since before 1990 or so. They're very useful for certain things, but they do take a lot of computing power to iterate on... they were once the domai

I have a hard time taking the author seriously if he confuses low level vs. high level languages for primitive vs. advanced in language design.

You should meet more Chinese people, then. Also, just in general you need to get out a little more.

>There is no such thing as good anti-malware defenses. You prove my point for me. Good defenses doesn't consist of solely antimalware software. Defense in depth is needed, along with education and awareness of new vulnerabilities.

This is mostly notable as an option because: A) It's cheaper than building a Yucca Mountain B) It can be built faster than Yucca Mountain, enabling it to actually be finished before it can be defunded or protested out of existence. Mos

Some people were, but it wasn't too common. Workstations had far higher resolutions long before this, but home PCs running non 3d accelerated hardware were still mostly 1024x768-ish. The BeBox itself was vastly different hardware than

That was more the exception than the rule. Besides, 1080P is about 45% more pixels per frame than 1280, and likely at a higher frame rate. Big difference in hardware load.

The device was returned, but that pattern is the ship that likely carried/deployed the device, not the device itself. Per another post that box is part of a fine grained positioning system, so I'd expect the ship deployed it then

Do you happen to know if there's a LIDAR system (I'm aware that many of them just use LEDs) that operates at UV frequencies near the transition to visible? I'm looking for a LIDAR that can provide basic terrain and obstacle m
