I'm partial of Jacques Vallée explanation of the Lazar testimony; that is, that he's completely truthful but what he saw and witnessed were models / fakes in some sort of psy op. Especially when you get deeper into the specif

If the government tried to keep this secret, they did a really piss poor job of it. Anyone spending any reasonable amount of time researching on the UFO phenomenon - admittedly a painful task as it tends to attract the worse kooks, I'm

That's not entirely true though, is it ? any link shared on reddit, or here, on on any social network by a chrome user can be an amp one.

I browse mostly without javascript on and that's not true; easily more than half of websites work just fine without it, and that number goes far up if you accept some lack of features. Though there are some that indeed don't work

Science does not give any answer, satisfying or not, to those questions (and one could argue it probably can't).

The article says it's a pilot project for Mars habitats. Though let's assume they were to convert this project to actual domed cities in SA; with a population of 30+ millions I'm pretty sure the majority of people would be le

I find it impressive that such advanced atomic storage is only 100x better than our current storage tech.

I'm often surprised how Emacs can struggle sometimes on modern hardware, like for example when chain-executing complex keyboard macros - though mostly yeah, it doesn't apply all that much anymore.

How do they "take the brunt of the losses" when the company tanks in a limited liability model ? unless you mean the actual loss of their stocks, and (at least most of the time) the lack of compensation for them ? because in that

It may be clickbait, but it's not clickbait that's trying to sell you something or more generally make money - it's trying to get people interested in space, and it's relatively wholesome, so I agree.

Yeah, I suspect I was only disappointed because of the books, and even then not by that much - above all I was happy to see the universe on screen. With that being said, and especially if you liked the show, I heartily recommend the books

It's especially infuriating what they did to Altered Carbon when you consider how much of the changes do not add anything to the adaptation (although a very few were improvements, like Poe); quite the reverse. They also completely ca

That would definitely help a lot (and osmdroid at least does support vector map sources); I imagine the traffic would still be significant though.

OSM gives people the tools to create their own map rather than offering them a simple, out of the box solution On this point and the main part of the first argument, I kinda disagree; the OSM project should specifically aim to do that: pr

This is the kind of advisory that comfort me in my choice to use ESR; browsers are so critical security-wise that it just seems safer. Although if everyone did that nobody would test new features I guess.

Yes, but binutils is part of the GNU project and is almost universally referred to as "GNU binutils" - including on its own homepage. So it makes it a bit weird to see it referred to as "FSF binutils" in this release ema
