For the record, the lamps and camera are present in their lobby afaik, so you can actually go there, stand in front of them, and slightly affect the entropy. A cool parlor trick, certainly.

People forget how barbaric medicine has historically been. Just like 100 years from now, many of today's medical practices will also be seen as barbaric.

That's the biggest Achilles' heel of the Genesis/MD, too. The lack of color resolution. I helped make the palette more accurate for that MD port of Super Mario Bros, and I made two palettes - one to simulate the composite PPU

N also took the opportunity to remove the lockout chip, since the system came out so late in the lifecycle and they were largely successful at stamping out unlicensed releases. The Japanese version of that redesign also got compatibility wi

I'd believe it. What I'd find harder to believe is that it wasn't really a table with more information than just "list of assigned UUIDs". I'd be really surprised (pleasantly!) if it was only that. I'd fig

This is why CloudFlare has done what they did with the lava lamp wall. Not that the wall is such a great source of entropy on its own - I'm sure it's not their only source, but you can never have too many sources of entropy - bu

As usual, yet another article about a forthcoming law that does not provide a link to the actual text of the law. Journalists, do your fucking job https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/C-22&#x

I've said for years that the correct way to do it would be to pick up an undocumented immigrant, and give them the option right then and there to begin the legal process of immigration, in return if they accept then they will not be

The misuse of "child welfare" as a wedge for illegal legislation heavily predates the common use of the Internet. I remember Tipper Gore with music, Joe Lieberman with video games. I remember the "Satanic panics" of the

Kildall himself claimed he could input a "secret" command or keystroke to DOS, and have it print out a DRI copyright notice. He allegedly showed this to Jerry Pournelle, and neither man publicly disclosed the method. I don't

Because I'm not for or against religion, so I think it's equally important to be able to ridicule all aspects of the discussion. To directly answer your question - yes, a very strong yes. But that also applies to all religions, an

Advertisers ignored it because MS decided to turn it into opt-in instead of opt-out, and advertisers very much hate opt-in. They'd much rather require the most permissive defaults, and put every barrier they can in front of opting ou

No, the advertisers were responsible for that outcome, by using that as a flimsy excuse to ignore the setting Browsers only removed it once it was clear that the advertising industry was going to refuse to honor it

In other words, advertisers wrangled out of something that could help people because they claimed it wasn't the true intent of people? Advertisers are the scum of the Earth, as someone with ADHD who doesn't ever consent to my atte

Advertisers chose to ignore DNT because they claimed Microsoft making DNT enabled by default took agency away from the user. In reality, they probably weren't going to honor it anyway.

This is something a parent can buy for their kid and control it. According to the article, some of the filters cannot be turned off. I bet it also will end up with a free trial subscription to something like Life360.
