As long as the encrypted communications are logged and available in accordance with public records-retention policies, using a good encryption system sounds like a good thing, no?

A long-press for flagging/hiding would be great (or even a confirmation-screen).

What happens when you accidentally get a pebble or grain of sand inside these foldable phones and squeeze/sit on them?

I've never done this arithmetic before. With a massively inefficient usage of a french-press, I get something like three cups of coffee from a press and perhaps 7 fillings of the press from a bag from my local store. That coffee is $6

AC came to predominate precisely because it is easier to work with at an infrastructure level. Stepping voltages with transformers is simple and easy. If you're AC all the way, there's never a need to rectify your generator, eith

Can be quite a bit -- the low bidder gets the job and gets paid. The higher bidder doesn't get paid and gets to continue looking for work.

If you want to "stick" to spacetime, there must be a reference frame that is somehow different from all the others. There is presently no experimental evidence for any such frame, despite a century or two of searches by very cleve

As an experimentalist who worked in the field for a long time, my answer to the title is: The Equivalence Principle. Because gravitational charge and inertial mass are seemingly inseparable from one another, gravity is special. It is the co

Attorney-time isn't just for drafting simple documents. It is also for knowing which documents to send and when.

Why did the safe fail to protect the paper -- too hot, too long?

I'm a little sad that the mission-planning team didn't include a "Look out below!" warning on the other side of the plaque. Dropping a half-ton, two-foot-diameter, sphere of brass out of orbit is something of a health ha

GOCE is a wonderful (and beautiful) experiment. Its scientific contributions are particularly wonderful. When I think of pretty gravity experiments, there are many, as the form must follow the function and gravity is geometry. I'm part

We have a battery-recycling bowl at home as well as drawers holding old phones. My guess is that batteries are more-often recycled than phones/laptops, even just on data-privacy issues alone.

I think Twitter's popularity and endurance suggests that there is interest in that global groupchat. What's unclear to me is whether or not there is enough money in it to make it worth maintaining/moderating.

40 minutes is a very long time, especially in the rare-isotope world.

A sticker or a "skin" might solve the first concern?

If your executor sends GitHub a death-certificate, that problem is completely resolved.

At ~$150k per willfully-infringed work, infringement at scale gets expensive real quick. Do you feel lucky? What if a specific version of Stable Diffusion is found to be infringing and there's a way to back-attribute an image to it? h

It seems that the more useful way to use AI would be TDD, where you write the tests and perhaps a simple implementation, and AI makes the implementation good/fast and points out inconsistency in the tests.

The AI process isn't going away, but suits like these will preserve the opportunity for artists and coders alike to get paid for their work or choose the terms under which it is shared. Without enforcing copyright rules on AI, it may m

As near as I can tell, Mastodon doesn't really have #2 in the list above. Last I heard, the social architecture was hostile to comprehensive indexing of the entire fediverse for search. That's probably one of the biggest reasons t

There's a further subtlety -- the US would like to retain the capability to do this work without funding the entirety of the work itself. A lot of the expertise and infrastructure is unique and world-class. In my view, the entire fi

If Meta has registered the work with the copyright office, the statutory damages in this case, should llama-dl lose, might be quite large. Check in with an attorney before launching a battle with an opponent who has unlimited resources. Th
