My understanding is that it depends on how common/accessible water is in asteroids. If there is a source of water then it can be split into hydrogen and oxygen for "free" using solar power. Throwing rockets' worth of wa

With the caveat up front that I'm a huge idealist about space: I think humanity would greatly benefit from building large populations in space. Once the systems are in place then any power generation, industry, or agriculture done in

Does anyone know how long these sorts of electrodes are effective? I've read that implants that help with parkinsons lose effectiveness after a couple of years due to a build up of scar tissue. Should we expect that the woman in the

I'd expect a hospital has to have a pro-ish router due to the size of the network. However, I can easily see someone setting up some of these as a "temporary" fix just to get things working for some subnet. I totally expect

I found the organization of org-mode made it easier to build/stick to the habit of logging my ideas and activity. I like the idea of org-mode being the place to go for my notes. The outline and tagging style makes sense to me and how

I just finished Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You. His writing about the plight of the workers and peasants was striking. It was also creepy to read his fears in 1890 about the threat of a senseless Europe-wide conflict. Hi

My understanding is that the FPKI has tons of sub-CAs all doing their own thing and thus couldn't meet the Baseline Requirements. If they could meet the BRs then I'm sure the public comments would be full of comments about the NS

The window chrome and the shot with the overlapping windows look bogus. Not in a terrible way, but it is still noticeable.

Funny, but I bounced off of Pipedrive.com pretty quick. Why should I trust a product if they are too afraid to show me meaningful screenshots? They have more detail in the dinky little videos, but I don't want to just sit there for a

NEMSIS is ugly, but it is vastly easier to work with than HL7. That was an evil XML standard.

I worked on EMS data entry software for a while (deepest apologies to any EMTs reading) and the big issue we ran into was needing to fulfill doctor/administrator pet projects to get a sale. The county wants to collect data on if a drow

As an alternative idealistic view: you have all this awesome knowledge that you have built up over a lifetime that you are now hoarding. No one is perfect and some of your advice might be wrong or otherwise unhelpful; but sharing knowledge

What is the intent of the date range checks? Is this a identification signal where malware would put random numbers in there, or is there an issue with the dates themselves that malware can exploit?

One idea I like is to have a normal internal database ID, but also have a public UUID column to use for URLs, APIs and that sort of thing. This way you can change the record's UUID at any time to display different data without having t
