Modern science cannot explain consciousness. I didn’t say the body was a vessel for the mind. I said it was a vessel for the soul. Time spent “moving” is time not spent solving the mental problems that those great minds are known for. Foo

This article seems to me somewhat a rebuttal to the recent Scientific American article posted here a couple days ago supporting the popular notion that physical fitness and exercise go hand-in-hand with "brain health". https:&#

How about a combination of solar and an ultra thin lithium ion battery? Finding a small, thin solar cell cheap enough is the trick I think... http://www.phdenergy.com/products/rechargeable-batteries/ult... https

Very cool project! It would be neat to incorporate WiFi into the next version instead of USB. Then you could publish a mobile app to communicate with it. It would be fun to play with at parties. https://www.gridconnect.com&#x

The Web can be a dangerous place, much like the rest of the world. Never heard of uMatrix before. It looks interesting. Thanks.

I agree with you. I think the down-voting that goes on here is basically group-speak censorship and creates an echo-chamber. Tyranny of the majority...

Yeah, privacy.net isn't that great. It was the first one I found. I found a few others that take different approaches. https://webbrowsertools.com/privacy-test/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/ ht

I think you would miss out on about 90% of what the web has to offer if you simply disable Javascript. A bit like saying you should never use a bank or credit cards and do everything with cash. Javascript is one of the most popular progra

I use Brave and OpenVPN on a cloud server. I tested my privacy with this https://privacy.net/analyzer/ ... Strangely, it said I was logged in to twitter, facebook and reddit when I'm not logged in to any of them.

You have me there on the "who" bit. I admit I have also been guilty on occasion of doing whatever is necessary as a client to get a server to respond. My point is that if we are going to try to fix it, we should address the probl

I agree, making laws about it shouldn't be necessary. The context of this discussion is that applications should not flatly refuse to service UA clients who are not the biggest 3 or 4 players. A better solution would be to require se

You are absolutely right, but don't expect apps to work, and if you report a problem to an app maker, you can expect the response "Sorry we cannot reproduce your problem. Everything works fine for us with browser XXX", or po

I have seen a few cases where users complain that our mobile app (which runs in a webview inside a native app) doesn't work for them. When we look in the server logs, we find a user agent string that indicates a user is running iOS 11
