Buzzfeed is shaping up to be the one of the best sources for investigative journalism. Who would have thought?

I don't think AES or video decoding uses coprocessors or FPGAs, that's just implemented more or less like any other instruction. If you're going complete coprocessor, you can do much more like Apple has done with their motion

Well, I'm not a chemist or anything but I, maybe naively, thought that the properties would be similiar. More similar to each other than to silicon anyway. I mean it's similiarity that makes you think of carbon as an alternative t

The obvious answer would be adding more CPU cores and surrounding circuitry. Especially on mobile it probably also makes a lot of sense to move more algorithms from software to hardware.

Given that both diamond and graphene are both just carbon, what's the difference between the two approaches?

I don't think I can come up with a good definition that I would be perfectly happy with. I do believe however that everything you experience will to some degree have an impact on you, even if you don't necessarily form memories ar

Why would the amount of time we consciously remember something, and this alone, define it's value?

There may not be a no human right to cheap rent in Mitte but most voters probably agree that even people with low incomes should be able to live in the city. Also I think a good argument can be made that rent-seeking behavior by property ow

Before you talk about how affordable Berlin is you need to take the income of people living in Berlin into consideration. You can reasonably live in Berlin but it's by no means extremely affordable. You also can't arbitrarily incr

The problem isn't supply, it's supply in Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Neukölln. If you want a place outside of these districts, you can get a place quite easily. Increasing supply outside of them, which would be

Berlin is a poor city. In fact it's former mayor famously described it as "Poor but sexy". It doesn't have the liberty of increasing supply on it's own to a large extent. You also can't increase supply, no matt

Is there any reason why Amazon would suddenly "waste" money on profit? Could this be an indication of a change in strategy or is this just a temporary thing?

Developing and maintaining software with a sufficiently large focus on information security will almost certainly cost so much money, that people will reconsider whether the investment is worth it. It probably takes several relatively large

The being able to generate more power than it uses is a problem for nuclear fusion reactors. The problem with modern nuclear reactor designs is that they're just that, designs. Great ideas people in comment sections love to mentally ma

There are at least two such services in Germany WebID[1] and PostID[1] (not to be confused with the older PostIdent that requires identification at a post office). I haven't used PostID yet but with WebID you basically have a Skype vid

Python doesn't store the entire AST at runtime. You can hook into the import process and modify code before it's compiled to bytecode. You can modify the bytecode at runtime but not any that's on the stack. Python is also not

They might not show it but surely the people working at ESA, Roscomos and NASA are excited and celebrating successful launches as well.

Erlang was developed for developing telecommunication systems and is still used heavily in that area today. When was the last time you heard of someone unable to make a phone call because a phone network went down?

That's not the premise. On most projects people probably also do exactly that.

It would be far more interesting to see whether code review is actually successfully rejecting code with technical debt. Is there code that passes code review and isn't identified as introducing technical debt, considered to have intro

You could create much larger power grids, that smooth out these fluctuations, even if they don't eliminate them entirely.

Right, forgot about those. Still those are just two more commands, which brings us to 5. That shouldn't push the complexity up significantly and doesn't change anything about my argument.

Essentially you want 3 operations. Generate keypair, encrypt X with key, decrypt X with key. You want this as a library that's impossible to misuse and a nice CLI on top. The fact that it took you half an hour to understand the "b

The concept has been abused and will no doubt be continued to be abused. It's very important to fight against such abuse. Nevertheless I think that the fundamental idea behind it is a good one.

The primary ECB objective is to maintain an inflation of 2%. Everything else is secondary to that. The ECB is currently making cheap money available. That's exactly what they're supposed to do and the only thing they can do, to re
