That's not how special relativity works. You may be confusing it with red shift.

That's the spoiler of a 1973 movie about a green flavor food product.

Your personal ethics are at odds with those of most people I know.

If those who can afford it would do it, like the well-off people frequenting hacker news, that would be a start. That would drive up demand, make it worth for more farmers to do this sustainably, eventually driving those costs down, and thu

A farmer with 20-30 cows tends to have a quite close connection with their animals. They often have a small plot of land they can use as pasture and the barn is not super-optimized to squeeze out the last square centimeter for effiency sinc

A forum mostly frequented by us overpaid workers doing little-more-than-if-any work that society actually needs is not the right place to discuss unions. Of course people in our industry, no matter devs or ops or founders or "founders&

The "coherent whole" is more in demand than ever before. Just look at the Android and iOS ecosystems with super hard rules how things have to behave and look in order to be admitted. They just put the burden on the app dev instead

The burden of providing a convincing argument for a claim tends to lie with the one making that claim.

You could provide evidence or other kinds of arguments to bring that claim from the realm of beliefs into the realm of facts.

Not sure how optics would help. If your wire has some kind of side channel, optics can have it too. If you want to detect stray mysterious photons then you could do the same with electrons. But in any case, this is not really the level of c

And that may not be a good thing. Now we won't just hear the occasional lying about WMD in far-away-country, which is bad, but if your government wants to trick you, they'll succeed nonetheless. Now it can easily be the idiot neig

Your two paragraphs are contradicting each other. The mere possibility that a "clown show" of that magnitude can exist is evidence for the lack of a solution to the problem of digital forensics.

For this to work, FBI Bob and EFF Alice need to trust each other. Otherwise, if FBI Bob gets to connect to the hard drive first, the imaging process could tamper with the contents before EFF Alice has a chance to do the hashing. And if inst

"Destroyed" may be a too strong word. It may currently be a little hidden below the layer of all the crap out there, but good journalism is not dead and once reasonable payment models have beeb worked out, it can easily come back.

The article is not clear about whether this is in the companies interest or in the work forces interest. In some parts it sounds like it's better for the company, but an actual argument for that is missing. Most of the article demands

I have no idea what the author is trying to say. Given that they "just recently" learned about microcode, I'd not hold my breath expecting a profound insight about computer architecture or anything computer science though.

There is a certain risk that women could find your statement offensive.

You may want to look up the works of Dr. Josef Mengele and then re-evaluate your first sentence.

Things can't be further detached from reality. Once you ever spend a few days with a herd of cows, you get a feeling for their personalities, their joy, their pain. Comparing to a group of humans, be it kids on a playground or some fac

> We need a better understanding of consciousness and awareness before trying such things, We do have quite a good understanding of those things in animals. Yet, nobody cares and people make fun of the "animal welfare" concept.

Isn't that insanely inconvenient? It takes so much more space, needs so much more fuel, is so much more bulky to drive .. is that bit of "status" actually worth it? Besides, even if you haul sth bigger 2x a year, renting a li

This article does not actually get anywhere with the "formal verification" part. The authors dumps it into a bounded model checker, observes that it does not work and then does some crude manual bounded loop unrolling. Does this i

To me, this is a classic and timeless piece of real computer science. Such an eye opener when I learned about it the first time! And a reminder that we really stand on the shoulder of giants.

Look up "New Kind Of Science" and the Wolfram Physics project and you are in for a ride. As a warning, that stuff is a little controversial, to say the least.

I'm arguing that OP did not build an OS. They built a program that needs a quite heavyweight runtime and loader in form of a system emulator.
