The fact that they sell the hack for $1500 is pretty ridiculous. Seems like there's a market for a reverse-engineered version of the hack, priced at slightly above the cost of materials (which I suspect to be around $50 at most).

Thy should have just upgraded the kernel to a fixed one, which definitely does not require to upgrade the whole distribution. Also if they are using Kubernetes normally there is no reason to not upgrade the whole distribution as well, since

We definitely know how to make graphics look real - look at the unbiased renderers like LuxRender [ https://luxcorerender.org/gallery/ ]. The problem is that we can't do that in 1/60 second on consumer-priced h

Written English is by far the best language among the globally popular ones and the European languages because it's easier to learn due to its small alphabet with no special ligature rules, small frequently used vocabulary, and low num

It indeed seems so, i.e. that there is no paradox in the many-worlds and possibly other interpretations (as a non-expert in quantum physics). How did they manage to get the paper accepted in the (supposedly selective) Nature Physics journal

Apple has a monopoly on distributing and selling mobile apps to customers that chose to carry an iPhone. You can't distribute or sell mobile apps to a large percentage of the US public without going through Apple, and they should defin

Seems completely baseless. There is no difference between an URL without web bundles, and an URL that refers to a "web bundle" and a path within in. All the things that they claim can be done with Web Bundles can be done without j

Is there an easy way to customize the generated Kubernetes manifests if the abstraction turns out to be insufficient?

I don't think this has anything to do with tech stack. React is generally easier to use correctly than plain JavaScript, PostgreSQL is as easy to use as SQLite (and more powerful), Node is as easy to use as PHP (but has more libraries,

How likely is it that a vaccine would have long-term side effects? Have there been past cases of it? Is there a plausible biological mechanism that could cause this?

How so? The only "help" that an app store can give you is that your app can show up in search result in the app store. But that's only a problem because customers are used to searching in that app store (and that's becau

Google and Apple closing the stores would be a fantastic outcome. The iPhone would no longer support third-party apps, and thus most iOS users will move to Android, and on Android, everyone will be familiar with installing apps from website

Why do trials cost so much? It would seem like testing on 100-1000 people spending $10-100k per person would work, which gives $1-100m, but apparently they cost billions for some reason.

I despise vim, not sure how they thought that such a design was reasonable for an editor (e.g. the fact that typing doesn't insert text at the cursor position unless you press Insert first). Nano, on the other hand, works properly as a

The idea is that you might need to invent a new algorithm where a technique from an existing algorithm is used in a modified way or in a new setting, and then knowing the actual technique can be essential to find an inspiration. E.g. if you

Well, I probably used it last time 10 years ago and still remember it. All you need to remember is that you sort points by angle from a fixed point on the convex hull, and you can easily work out the rest of the algorithm as well as the pro
