The Owncloud Android app ( https://f-droid.org/packages/com.owncloud.android/ ) has options to automatically upload pictures and videos as they are taken. It's working well for pictures, for videos it tends to

Is that technique really "greener" than cremation ? Maybe you're not generating as much CO2 on-site but sodium hydroxide is made by electrolysing salt so it consumes a lot of energy.

The alternative is not "nothing", but what he knows of the default distribution by law if he leaves no will. It's always dangerous to try to guess what's going on in people's heads.

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. Usually people rave about how the free market is the solution to all problems. You can't have a free market in which you can make rational decisions without adequate information.

There is a problem though, GMO and agricultural research in general is oriented towards making produce survive better the transportation, have better yields, look better in the shelves so that they are sold more easily, etc. The goal is to

His reasoning applied to the length of Broadway plays, or the length of political terms, is valid because such events have been going on for a long time, there have been multiple occurrences and they have a naturally limited length. Many ha

Employers "bully" their employees all the time to lower their salaries and work conditions under threat of unemployment. It's only fair that employees would union to balance things a little bit in the other direction.

You say "the code recurses a sha256 computation 1714 times to get a password for decryption, and then once more to get the lookup key", however in the code above the search string is computed as var search = sha256(key); , note i

He mentions in his presentation that the BFR will have more pressurized cargo space than an A380, which can carry 853 passengers in an all-economy configuration. Let's say the BFR would carry a bit more that that, and prices would be a

He didn't seem overly enthusiastic about a Moon base, he mentioned it almost in passing, as if saying "I guess a Moon base is now a possibility, if you fancy it then I suppose we can sell you some rockets for it". I'm no

Amusingly it detects that the code for the RPN calculator is in Polish. Maybe it's smarter than it seems.

That demo was quite impressive, but the technique is completely different. Adobe uses deconvolution to recover information and details that are actually in the picture, but not visible (unintuitively blurring is a mathematically reversible

It sound like much more than "thinking and dreaming", he thought about quite concrete points like the number of people being part of the team or the kind of tools he'd use. The only thing holding him back seems to be the IP i

Looking at the code and the actual file generated, it seems that the image is not compressed at all, using one byte per pixel. It also defines a palette of 128 colors, which is mostly unused. A bit of compression would drastically reduce th

Not really, if a library is stable and doesn't need any change it's likely that the developer will not bother to recompile it, or even will abandon it, making it unusable (unless you compile a new version yourself). You also need

Seems contradictory to buy a low quality item based on unfair reviews, complain about that fact, then go on saying that reviewers owe nothing to anyone. They obviously owe a modicum of honesty and objectivity to other potential buyers. Why

This illustrates how workgroups and committees are vulnerable to lobbies and interest groups. Such entities have the resources to relentlessly put forward their viewpoints and have them considered by the committees, while the majority stand

That's a false dichotomy. The real solution to this problem is, and was, as you strangely seem to have forgotten history, to abolish slavery altogether. Likewise in prisons the solution is to abolish slave labour and instead give the s

Market rates are not arbitrary numbers that exist in a vacuum. All economic actors contribute to the market, and they are the result of competition and how low the producers are able to get and still make a living. Some are a bit higher, so

Interesting world we live in, where slave labour is considered a smaller issue than a company's lost profits.

You only need to be as fast as one screen refresh period, 1/60th of a second usually, plenty of cycles on modern cpus. Many games that are very complex graphically do it without problem. Maybe an opengl or similar renderer would allevi

I sort of see it too. I think it's caused by a mix of 2 things, first when you stare at something for a while the details tend to fade away, and this image is very susceptible to it since it has very soft colors on the border, and the

All sound samples on the page start playing at once when visiting it. A bit disconcerting but I guess that counts as involuntary experimental music in itself.
