The possibility of being reunited with their family in the South perhaps? Or maybe a slow transition away from the dictatorship that created those camps in favor of a democracy? Or even foreign aid once their government is no longer openly

Yeah, what about that Cloudflare memory leak they had a while back? Are all the caches that retained the info complicit?

>If the government just capped their incomes at 100K a month we could pay off all national debt in months. The government would be quickly replaced with one who would undo this change. Nobody would support it. This is so ridiculous I thi

The iron filings actually concentrate the field, which leads to a bit of an avalanche effect as the concentrated field attracts more filings towards it that creates the lines. Those lines are entirely conceptual.

I think they're talking about environmental factors that affect the propagation speed of the GPS radio signals from the satellites to the surface. This would give them higher resolution timings on the arrival of the GPS signals and thu

Yeah, my biggest fear is that they will take away the "compact" display settings in favor of something more design'y. The first thing I do on any new phone is make the text size as small as possible so I don't have to sc

In case anyone else was curious like I was, these have been compiled by Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien [1]. Of all the fantasy authors I've read only George R.R. Martin of the ASOIAF series spends nearly as much time world-bui

Recognized this from the Tom Scott video a month ago. If your not subscribed to him I highly recommend it. Every video he makes is interesting.

It's interesting to see that some of the advertised features of this server are strikingly similar to the "enthusiast/prosumer" lines that Gigabyte already sells. For a supposedly cutting edge server using the new NVLink

Whoa, I hadn't considered this at all. This opens a huge can of worms. How could this even be enforced? If something like the GDPR gave you the ability to request that your data be deleted, would that extend to learned data? In my opin

Honestly, reader was what made me want to switch to Firefox. When the performance between FF and Chrome was about equal I jumped ship and I've been loving it. No more using some crazy bookmarklet to remove silly CSS just so I can RTFA.

I chuckled a bit when their git-sizer tool pointed out a high level of concern for the 66 parent octopus merge in the Linux kernel. See https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2017/the-biggest-and... for the sto

Your notification for having JS disabled made me chuckle. One suggestion I have is that the graph view seems to clutter up pretty fast. Maybe have a slider that increases the length of the lines between the vertices. Also, a SVG export woul

This makes the "How many clicks to Hitler" game much faster. For those uninitiated, the game was to click the "Random Article" link in the sidebar and count how many links it took to get to Hitler. It is really interesti

I'm getting some serious Cold War vibes from this article: Communist country tries to get into an arms race with the US, has to choose between their preferred economic strategy and military competitiveness, ends up trying to have both.

I'm sure someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think countering EMPs wouldn't be that difficult of a task. Commercial electronics designers have been designing around EMI for decades now. Is it that hard to imagine that acto

They don't specifically define the "period". No matter what the period is the price per search goes from $1 to $0.76 depending on volume. I wonder how they can justify these prices?

I think "VR tourism" could be a pretty cool thing if large scale 3D mapping of interesting places takes off. I imagine it to be a little like a more immersive "Street View" from Google Maps. You could walk through all of

If I was the manager in charge of a team that sends test nuclear missile alarms and my faulty process caused a miscommunication, which in turn created a mass panic, I should be fired. I don't think the employee who did as instructed an

So who was fired for this? Someone dropped the ball by not communicating the fact that this was a test to the employee who sent the false alarm. That person should be fired. This reads like a classic tale of government incompetence. If you

Definitely an interesting take on the "coding" of DNA. Something that has always interested me is similarities in natural and unnatural mechanisms, like how modern cameras mimic eyes right down to the tiny motors that drive the au
