wow that's terrifying.

It's already possible, but nobody has written a public-domain implementation of it. Probably because it can sell for a lot of money. I bet someone has this software right now.

Yes, this is terrible. We're going back to the "dark ages" when a horrendous crime could happen in broad daylight around multiple witnesses and nobody would be found or sentenced.

This still depends on trust and tamper-proof devices. You don't need the keys if you can alter the input stream.

Are there any raw numbers? Maybe I live in a bubble but I don't know a single person that has one of these in their home.

You have an e-ink monitor? When did they hit the market?!

This is easily done, you can create an index for each color or color range. Additionally, you can mess with the typical B&W conversion weights for each channel. However this got me thinking, what do we want when we convert an image to b

Is there a way to do this in Linux/Ubuntu/Debian? I've looked as hard as I could but I couldn't find any solutions, at least not one that didn't require writing your own drivers.

If you look closely, at around 0:22 it causes some artifacts in the rifle's red light matrix thingy. It could be regular compression artifacts, but they look like denoising artifacts to me.

Or, we can crowdfund a very large Mylar mirror. I'd pay at least $5 for this.

Last time I tried to use GIMP I wanted to do a simple affine transform on an image. I selected the transform tool and GIMP crashed. Apparently this is a known bug since 2016. Just checked, still broken. When people say GIMP sucks they rea

Ok, I'm done using up my energy and time, since you obviously don't know shit about aviation, and don't care to learn, just to pretend-win an argument. Did you even read your articles? A small portion of aluminum skin on the

The aerodynamics of fighter jets are massively different from commercial airliners. The Lauda incident was "survivable" in the sense that they had a 3-second window to realize that the reverse thruster was deployed and take action

>What happens is the plane takes on additional drag with decreased fuel efficiency. Did you just assume that? Because I'm pretty sure that a folded wingtip in flight would result in a nearly unstoppable spiral of death.

>There's nothing safe about a Cessna 172 I assume you have nothing to do with aviation. The Cessna 172 is extremely safe. In fact I'd argue that they're safer than commercial flights, because accidents are much more surviv

That's a lot of assumptions based on top of other assumptions. All asserted as the truth. I'd be more willing to listen if the author was aware of this potential for error.

Arstechnica seems to have taken a 180° turn on Telsa lately. I suspect their expanded their PR budged even more. Ariane has nothing to fear from Telsa. Even their launch costs are still higher than conventional launch systems, if you care e

Facebook has a lot of utility. We tend to look at Facebook through goggles of hatred because it's a corporate propaganda and brainwashing machine, but if you take that away, you have a neat way of keeping in touch with friends. Imagine

And it worked a lot better than what Google does. I remember buying things I discovered through ads on my favorite magazines.

Most of the few biohackers I've come across are mentally ill or otherwise reckless and dangerous. I hate being against open knowledge-building, but a world where real viruses are build, modified and transmitted in a similar way to comp

You can produce a viable alternative for Facebook for less than $1M upfront and pretty low running costs. Maybe $10/user/month or less. However, nobody has done it. Why? Because it doesn't make any profit. Everyone needs i

After reading the study, it seems like they just made some people aged over 70, with progressed dementia, get light exercise twice a week for 4 months. That's it. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much of a difference. Personally I&#x2

Turkey owns 4 islands in the Aegean. Greece has over 6,000 in total. I don't see where you get the "screwing over" part. Is it because you think Turkey should have more territories than it does today? Turkey should have signe

I disagree with a completely free public transport. Paying creates an entry barrier that suppresses traffic surges and misuse. Instead you can offer free tickets to those who actually need them and subsidize it enough to be a competitive ch

Personally I was disappointed by the lack of coverage this landing got. Same with their space station. I'm genuinely interested in this, but the Chinese won't translate articles/sources themselves, and given the (strategic? i
