On the side, you might see a slightly brighter line. Here's an xray of a uSD card: http://rusolut.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/msd1xray.jpg And an xray of a rubiks cube: https://c1.stat

Dwarf fortress is one of my favorite examples of emergent behavior- the maneating carp, cat-explosions, cats getting drunk, etc. Actually, a lot of cat based bugs in general.

Discord implemented the same thing, and I'd like to see more systems do it too. It works really well, especially when users can swap usernames at will.

It's moderately interesting how these work, they basically check if you're connecting to a "new" tower. Another app is called aimsicd, I use it personally. Not paranoid, but there's no reason not to use it really. N

Hm, It's not really being too heavily "interfaced" with the body. I wouldn't stick it under your skin, but this would probably be fine I think. I'd also think that most things are unsafe in molten form, heh.

I'm kinda curious how tech companies are supposed to implement this. Send encryption keys to a central repo? If I encrypt a file, and store it on my phone, is phone manufacturer liable for it? I would assume not, but god knows how this

I agree. Military tech is the best tech, if it can spot a terrorist in a bush than it can, and should be used to find victims of natural disasters. Also, I don't think UAVs are the best option for mass surveillance. I mean, there'

You know what I'd prefer? An explanation of why exactly these things don't work. Not a page long rant that vaguely covers some problems and then goes on a tangent to the effect of "government makes me sad". Now, I'v

I think there's a difference between crimanal drug usage and illegal drug usage. I mean, if it's a warehouse with massive ammounts of drugs in-out, then yes, a raid makes sense. There are criminals doing illegal things in there. H

Suddenlink does the same thing-ish. Sometimes I get a popup that says "service outage incoming at XXX" at the top of the page- I ended up figuring out there was a checkbox for that sorta stuff in the account options tab. Similarly

That's one of the best parts of the google play store; the developer can directly respond to a review. It's pretty handy, and to me, as a user, it says the app is actively being worked on.

Huh, is that show coming back around? I kinda liked how they would spin current tech events, and the idea of an AI that spread itself over power boxes was neat to say the least.

What better way to feed false information into a computer than giving it to someone else? In all honesty, I think a security researcher would be more curious figuring out what they did.

While I think his insights on how we treat our children is amazingly insightful, and I love how it's described as a religion (the point that children are our sacred cows is very good in particular) his attempt to relate it to marriages

Good idea! Soylent is probably an excellent disaster food- it's denser than anything else out there, and I'm not terribly worried about gut folia or whatever in such a situation.

That's... a really good idea. Just reading over the article I was trying to find some issue with the Chronos, and I really can't. Half the utility of my pebble is it vibrates when I get a notification, which is really all you need

I've been following the Novena since it's conception, it's a neat idea, and even though it's not 100% open source, it's closer than everything else we have. And the fact that you can just build hardware ontop of wha

I agree- I've seen some amazing Chinese products across all hobbies recently, which are oftentimes almost as good, if not better with a little modification. That being said, counterfeit products are almost universally worse than their

I can't say much of this is surprising, except for the bit about fear. Any thoughts about what would cause this?

Evolution can be nigh-impossible to understand sometimes, but this one seems straightforward- as you mentioned, it was originally two discs, which gained bumps- bugs that had better bumps were more likely to survive, and thus the bumps prob
