Please no. This would be nothing but a miserable tragedy for all involved.

Phenomenal example of terrible industrial design. Now can anyone shed light on how this miserable design choice made it all the way to production? Mini has a history of this, also interesting is why people don’t just stop buying these cars

First, do what you need to get the car under control. Then, switch on the hazards so the driver behind you gets a heads up. Obviously you don’t risk crashing fumbling for the hazards. Particularly useful on rural roads with many turns where

Having client installed malware detection would be the step after blocking ads. Whitelisting JS would make 90% of the contemporary Internet, including essentials like Gmail and Office365, unusable.

Nope. I was making my point using a reflection of the language in the original blog post, where the author was talking about the free software "home" being free of surveillance. This was apparently different from the "home&qu

The author's conclusions are naive on a couple of fronts: o Passwords ARE fundamentally broken and they do not put you in control. Passwords must be shared to work, therefore they can never truly be secret. Only a private/public

Reducing noise from training runs would be welcome in many communities.

They do need to train in the airspace. Would you want pilots unfamiliar with the terrain to show up when they’re needed in a hurry?

How so? By only breeding humans that are resistant to these disruptors? Cue social catastrophe..

This really sounds like the way to go, although of course it is too late for Java. Optional feels awkward, and there's no more safety than we already have since the JVM null-checks anyway. if( arg.isPresent() ) ... vs if( a

And how much of that is due to progressive and functional forms of government? Seems like a great deal of it really.

We keep having this come up with some of the EC curves like NIST P-256 for example. There's no evidence that it is actually backdoored, but the consensus seems to be that the construction is suspicious, unlike the construction for SHA-

Government buyers that are less important (e.g. state level tollways) would be mandated to buy the backdoored algorithm by having the federal government cook it into a specification of how to buy tollway equipment, for example. Once the bac

Latency is infuriating. Bluetooth is particularly bad and calls where both ends are using Bluetooth are pretty miserable. It seems the norm these days that net calls with earphones and wired networking are lower latency than cellular calls.

By the time you have kids that are old enough to play games, if you do, then you’ll probably know that this is an impossible conversation. The process will instead be to create a mystique out of your own habits, which the child will find in

Is this something NNs could do? The output might just be a probability field of orbits, which would not tell you anything more than known analytical methods would.

WebAuthn is great. Put it to work recently in a new control system and it sure is a nice feeling to deploy with zero need for passwords.

To farm out to cloud computing resources? Very expensive. It isn’t surprising to me that a company with a massive and known compute load would choose to pack that compute resource as efficiently as possible. Supercomputers are still a busin

When it ends up consuming days or weeks on end then yes, something is wrong.

NuScale Power is one of these companies.

I'm with you. Going it alone is so inconvenient, very much reminds me of the 1990's where one needed to compile your own linux kernel. It just ends up being a big hobby with all the time implications attached to that. I use Apple

A vaccinated person has equal viral load to an unvaccinated person? That's not substantiated by any of the available evidence AFAIK. Early on the question was "can a vaccinated person transmit the virus?" and the answer to th

Israel isn't even 60% vaccinated. Hospitalizations are way down. Serious infection in vaccinated people is 1/6th the rate compared to unvaccinated. That's an 84% reduction in risk. Looks to me like things are going well for v

It is right at the top of the page. Lack of trust in the intermediaries. Which is often the correct level of trust.

Perfect Forward Secrecy is pretty standard in TLS handshakes these days, so the persistence of messages should not be an issue. This pattern of burying TLS inside of application payloads is popping up all over the place. People realize that

This is exactly right. He could not imagine delaying the development of Starship for the ~week it would take him to train for, orient on, and fly the mission. It would be a huge distraction for him and everyone in the company. Once the Star

Not confusing threads; the double slit experiment is often given as evidence of superposition. My attempts at replicating the experiment myself have been foiled because it inevitably goes to phase calculations on lasers, which I don't

It could also be that we simply don’t understand something about light phase, and that’s causing us to get confused about superpositions. After all, the experiments aren’t on single photons, they are on beams of photons.
