It's like 100x more expensive. Would be nice to have separate data lines, running fiber optics sealed in pressurized conduits for double tamper detection. The military actually does this for their critical infra.

He's asking for Google to go into the censorship area of proactively not allowing to publish content. Google will fight nail and tooth against it. This is the opposite what US gov is calling for - to provide more transparency in the ex

That is not random speech however. That is a protected affiliation. Similarly you cannot discriminate on political or religious grounds. Some speech is more protected than others.

The "levels" beyond 2 are do not add any new driving features, but rather shift the legal responsibility increasingly to the manufacturer. So Tesla has a choice of no unprotected left turns, HD mapped area only or go full in. And

Or the money was spent in buying the factory and what happens after is just extraction. Speculation being that investments in economy are perceived as a very good thing and the origin of the money is not checked that tightly.

It's objectionable because of severe consequences beyond just annoying people. If there was a malicious purpose, not just research, you could bring criminal charges against them. In typical grey hat research you get pre-approval from t

Gasoline has way more thermal energy. Yes, it's easier to put out, bit it gives you way less time before things really get out of hand.

The govt action is the shitty way out. This all is a classic there is not enough to go around situation. Govt regulation will make it more entrenched and "manageable". The best outcome is to come up with a fundamentally better bus

As far as I can tell the law does not prohibit algorithm assisted decision making. So as long there is a human rendering the final decision we are good. Which seems to be a reasonable balance IMO.

It is however very suspicious knob if most of the spending is automated. To attempt an anology, consider if all phone calls where charged by the minute and there is a knob to adjust the pricing. One cal argue it's a reasonable tool to

The time from mars to Earth is 3-20 minutes depending on orbit. Perseverance to MRO is 2 mbits/sec but only when it's overhead of the rover. MRO to Earth is 0.5 - 4 mbits per second. While it takes around 10 seconds to transmit an

I'm not buying it. What you patent is a bunch of text that is clearly copyrightable. If you patent a method how to organize APIs, that would be perfectly reasonable. In fact we have a bunch of patents like that for networking stuff.

The article is surprisingly scare mongering and empty of actual details and full of generic snow landscape photos. Anyone can fill in what a glacier "tipping point" is and what is the historic data around this particular glacier?

I would guess no. The buyer could be pumping it back in the ground for all the seller knows. Requirement to sell "carbon neutral" oil to countries that do not have their own carbon capture rules would be an interesting idea. Could

From the abstract it seems to be very applicable to combustion exhausts (coal/gas plants) and consuming 5-10% of the combustion energy to recapture the CO2. Hard to tell what is the required CO2 concentration without the full article.

IMO not so much. Just assume all files are malicious unless accompanied by metadata saying otherwise. That is pretty much the status quo already. Except we have some grandfathered file types that are implicitly trusted.

Generally yes. But you would need to spend 3 years in court to get that to work.

Drones not likely. Their improved stiffness of 75 gpa is 2x less than carbon fiber. So you could literally make the frame 2x lighter with carbon fiber and put that 50% of weight in batteries getting you 2x+ more capacity. Cars more likely a

Still they are at the forefront in the field. IMO in the same ballpark as Waymo. Elon operates by setting impossible goals and under delivering on them but still going faster than all the other players. Most FSD buyers are reasonably aware

The linked image says "coarse location" for Chrome/Analytics. So this is not your GPS data but most likely IP based city/metro. Also it says "may" everywhere. AFAIK DDG may be doing all of those things too. Fro

In this case it's way cheaper to put those panels on your house. No weight or vibration requirements, can use the electricity for your house too. The only downside is you need to plug in.

GP is saying that there is market for preflashed custom device even if it's 150 markup. And I agree flashing is no fun. It takes time to find a rom that supports your device well, realize you need to root/unlock bootloader first,

There is no such thing as perfect software when requirements change with time. We need adaptable software instead. Like all our governance mechanisms have a built-in system of constant change.
