I've read a few times vertical farms use LED that only emit very specific wavelengths. The solar panel on the roof would capture energy on spectrum unused by plants, making the sun light => electric energy => LED light thingy not

You can still pass your formula based password though a cryptographic hash function and would be fine. Although not very useful for device logins and as mentioned in some other comment probably trick to rotate passwords.

I wonder if there would have been a better middle ground by allowing to charge a fee for such requests, like some freedom of information law does. We wouldn't want to make it a strong deterrent against sending such requests to large co

Could you be a bit more specific about your criticism of the article. I found it interesting. I don't really see how it is anti-FB. It seems to describe the current situation by anecdotes instead of statistics/scientific analysis.

Couldn't the opposite work as well... choose a candidate so extreme even voters of his own party don't want to support him? Isn't that what happened with Roy Moore and Alabama? The US voting system just seems incredible bad.

The show actually felt quite shallow to me, like it focused entertaining over presenting a coherent world. E.g. I'd expect to see identical cheap mass produced body running around everywhere. I more fondly remember the near two decade

I'm from a country with a reasonable voting system that allows more than two parties to exist. This allows more than two political idea clusters to oppose each other. This might surprise US citizens, but the big parties here don't

The first few times i used apkpure.com, i downloaded the same apk though some other site as well. The files were identical. It is additional work, i now only do it for more important apps.

A house seems like a good analogy... if the owner isn't willing to do maintenance, he'll probably fence it of to avoid fines and liability. A local group might loose their meeting spot, but we still usually consider it worth it. O

Is that really true? I'd expect there to be cost associated with shitty law. Uncertainty and frequent changes shouldn't be in the interest of anyone but those whishing for extremes. Thus i'd hope for companies to support poli

You usually use obviously beneficial cases to push boundaries. Having your medical insurance pay one of your relatives for their DNA to re-rate you and other relatives or other horror scenarios will follow later down the line, once we'

But we are not just talking about replacing humans entirely. How much can more advanced robot-tools speed up the process? Like the human operator talks to the customer, makes some gestures in AR to signal where to cut while improved robots

Right. It only "got worse" while people tried to figure out the new medium. Once we have a set of options that work well, I'd expect this to become a basic meta game. People will recognize the current pattern and begin to ass

There probably has a huge cultural factor that people think at first of a gun as solution to their problem. Why not a bomb? Or poison? Or car? Burn down target property? So much options, but US culture seems to strongly favor guns. There is

Yeah, they should probably have censored way earlier to prevent that. They now have to go through with getting rid of the radicals they raised. Or re-open the floodgates, accept even more radicalization and thus even more painful consequenc

Crypto mining? More seriously, it will boots/create R&D for actual energy storage. Storing it in products might be nice early one, but having application neutral (renewable) energy available whenever for whatever we want seems like

Yeah, the US judge selection process seems especially bad. Here in germany the issue of partisan judges comes up rarely, at least. I wonder why. Maybe that has to do with the highly partisan US politics, thanks to the US FPTP voting system

An angry and easily manipulable lynch mob arbitrarily deciding my fate? That feels more terrifying than some trained and experience arbitrator with respectable work history, to me. But more seriously, the jury system also has serious flaws.

Also lets not forget Facebook as to appear somewhat protective of data, or they'll scare off even more user. Negative consequences of users sharing their data have to appear dystopian fiction.
