We also, at the same time, genetically modified plants to be resistant to Glyphosate so that we could spray thousands of tons more of this herbicide. Semantic arguments about what is and isn't 'natural' aside, it's clea

If you really want to cause some paperwork, drive it to Canada and leave it there.

I don't believe there's any known human ones, but there's a dog one that is 11,000 years old (Canine Transmissible Veneral Tumour) and there's a clam one.

You could make it pause the run when moving the map around, the automatically continue if it's left alone for N seconds, where N is probably around 5.

There can be a point in time where you can't go further back - all directions point to the future - in the same way that there's a point on Earth where you can't go further North - all directions point South.

The PCB thing is huge. Back in the 90s I was carefully tracing out circuits with a resist pen, etching them with a ferric chloride bath and hand-drilling the component holes. Not only was this extremely finicky and time-consuming, it was e

The grid connection isn't that high, because the average person (in the US) drives 50km a day. At 200Wh/km efficiency (this is a generous estimate) that's 10kWh/day per driver. Assuming charging of all these cars is co

It's certainly feasible, and it's not going to take 20 years either. Right now anyone with an EV will charge overnight at home if at all possible, because the it's incredibly convenient. It's easy enough for those who o

What would have happened if his plane had tried to cross into Spain regardless? Do you think 'force' might have been involved? Is not denying overflight ultimately backed by force?

There is zero difference, because closed airspace will ultimately be enforced at the point of a fighter jet.

Pseudonymous, really. I mean, "Fuchs" for example means far more to me than whatever the name on their drivers license is. Typically the only time I find out someone's real name on IRC is when their obituary gets posted!

I've been using Signal as an SMS app replacement since it was called TextSecure, and it still works that way - if you send to a non-Signal-registered number, it sends over ordinary SMS (with a visual indicator to let you know), very si

Not that Satellite-based ADS-B would have helped in this instance, because the ADS transponder was turned off early in the piece.

You have misunderstood something, because the reconstructed path does not have a constant angle to the satellite.

So it seems like the worst outcome has been achieved then - overbearing bureaucracy for locals engaged in their legitimate business, and a relatively free hand for smugglers moving things across the border illegitimately?

It's common enough here that's it's a been verbed: A car is "bollarded" if a silly driver tries to tailgate another car into a secure area, causing the bollard to rise under their car which typically destroys the su

Frequently the old syscall just ends up as a stub that calls into the new implementation though.

Remember though that in that situation they don't have to convince the judge that that actually happened - they only have to convince the judge that they should have been able to raise the possibility with the jury.

Wrong isotope. The Pu238 used in RTGs is not fissile (does not undergo a chain reaction) - it decays by alpha decay. The fissile isotope used in weapons is Pu239.
