This is how I now see biology, and more so with each reframing. Cells being squishy, floppy bags no longer counts as a point against them being "tech" or "robotic." That's deliberate engineering—a complex scaffold o

This is backwards. ccTLDs are much higher risk than gTLDs operated by commercial entities because those entities are governed by ICANN which has pricing requirements and a plan in place to transfer them if the entity goes under.

Ptable renders them with WebGL from the quantum numbers using the Schrodinger equation, wrapping a threshold density of the generated point cloud with a surface. https://ptable.com/#Electrons/HOAO

Kind of the opposite algorithm behind CT/MRI, if every string required nails at the edge.

Curious if these old email addresses that became a tech embarrassment will see a rebound in cachet. "Ooh, a résumé with @compuserve.com. This guy was there at the beginning."

How does it compare to https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut ?

Mathematical universe is obviously true yet uselessly ahead of its time in the same way as Schrodinger asserting heredity was controlled by an "aperiodic crystal" a decade before DNA was discovered.

"Keep your username" already sold me. Exhausted with every new namespace landrush. Lemon8 made a terrible mistake not piggybacking off TikTok's, alienating everyone who didn't want to battle anew, and no one is happy wit

How has this not yet been deployed by a startup to unseat three-quarter billion market cap Matterport?

There are a lot of fictions that are valuable to society. Might this one be important to hold up for the sake of "incels"? In the end, you'll get the girl and the jerk will be lonely, so until then don't get too angry an

Another point for my favorite minority quantum mechanics interpretation, two-state vector formalism (TSVF).

I was excited to learn PO box numbers are unique in my city and have their own ZIP code so theoretically mail could reach me with an address of only "37939-0002" (ZIP only) or "PO Box 2, Knoxville" (no ZIP) if someone wa

Domestic abuser: "I tallied only 748 minutes of calls across these 9 pages, and after subtracting the 500 included minutes in your plan, we were only charged an additional $12.28 instead of the expected $12.40. Explain yourself!"

Now I'm curious to see the same experiment stopping with the 3 minutes of eye contact as a control. Maybe that's all it takes.

I could never set foot in a grocer again if online shopping didn't suck. I don't even need VR. Just give me side-scrolling pictures of entire aisles with clickable items and I'd be satisfied.

What's your prefixed prompt? It does not reflect current thinking on dreams being forced replay of avoidant thoughts. I'd try something like: > Understanding that dreams reflect fears we are trying not to think about and our su

Does no one recognize a made-for-AdSense content farm targeting the top pay-per-click keyword, mesothelioma?

Oddly no mention of two-point correlation, another anomaly suggesting quantum effects at the birth of the universe gave it its large-scale structure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function_(astronom...

Beware of going too far out there with new TLDs. I use something like manager@clinch.estate for house stuff and it's nearly impossible to explain over the phone or even in person. "Clinchestate at gmail?" A friend has the sam

I thought regenerative ability vs cancer incidence was a problem for evolution to optimize per species rather than some statistical certainty per cell.

Odd how Comcast needs a data cap for "outliers," yet every apartment complex can offer free unlimited, unmetered water usage.

Just keep TOTP in your password manager at this point. Whatever security is lost by it not being a "true second factor" is made up for by not having to recover or restore backups due to a lost or stolen phone.

Almost certainly it's a cybersquatter upset his cache of squatted names is being seized and is attempting to manufacture dissent. Recommend the site owner look at IPs and see how many HN accounts he has as well and flush those, too.

This will break sites that count on "transitionend" event callbacks to determine when one part of an animation has finished to begin doing something else.

This proved tricky for me because of Core Web Vitals. I made ptable.com work without JS, but I still show "dead" interactive components (the properties area above) because expanding it when JavaScript arrives would destroy my Cumu

I wrote software to find minimum spacetime distance between camera rolls using embedded GPS. It runs all client side if someone wants to try it out or take up the mantle. https://github.com/Lucent/photo-distance

This is going to work great on me, having spent most of my life pouncing on this name on every platform.
