Prepare your downvotes. Occult books tell that we have all means to nearly stop aging with today's tech and the key is in extracting and using the essence of oxygen; that air at the ground is what dooms us to aging and if we could acce

Even simpler: Stadia is the remote desktop rebranded. Want to run your own Stadia? Buy a bunch of VMs on some cloud hosting provider: a few for the game server engine and one per user with game client code (those need GPUs); then let users

Don't forget to be insanely smart. Otherwise programming skills won't help.

That's why CCP banned them in China.

Most smartphones are made in China, so CCP has access to them at the hardware level. My bet is that tiktok has hacked the human psychology: it's an equivalent of addictive sugary drink spiced with coke; it's a problem by itself, b

Well, you don't really "own" capital, you've "just" earned an authorization to spend some amount per year. It's like a debit card thats auto refilled every year. In the meantime "your" capital is

What do you mean? Why wouldn't an HR sue his own employer? Because binding arbitration and the employer will make sure to destroy the reputation of that HR.

Surveillance capitalism to the USA is like heroin to an addict: he thinks he can give up at any time, that he can manage the addiction and find the balance, until he realises that he is a slave to that addiction and can't change anythi

No need to disclose anything: plausible deniability is enough. And "bias" can be fixed by ad-hoc quotas.

It's the same thing. There were posers and those with practical knowledge. Today it's almost entirely clueless posers.

My opinion is irrelevant here. I'm not giving orders to suspend or resume the economy.

They probably know that visible effects of global warming won't manifest themselves until a century later: enough time for them and their kids. They don't care about their hypothetical grandkids. When the world starts collapsing i

If this was indeed such a problem, the world would be on a strict lockdown for next few years. It isn't happening because the expected global warming is too far in the future: too far for the ruling class to care. Downvote all you want

The "legend" is that every civilization gets buried under a thick layer of earth, so we'd have to dig real deep, hundreds of kilometers deep, to find anything.

I think these minivans is a rational and smart move (amoral, but that's another story). The protest is snowballing and there's not enough police-like forces that blindly support the current regime. The administration understands t

Networking can in fact overturn results of the interview loop. In some cases, the result is known and the interview is arranged to support the case. You may outright fail some questions, and still get a green light from those interviewers.

Eigenquestion is a question that's when answered, turns into the same question, but on a different scale.

This is 1/d^2. Exponential would be 1/2^d.

This is what audit records are for. Unless you expect the bad guys to respect your schedule, you won't be around to see the LED light.

Just pick a material that's opaque only in visible spectrum.

Or to put it simply "to detect the single frame grab attack". LED lights can't prevent anything.

Unlike a led light, a piece of tape prevents unauthorized webcam access.

I couldn't get Verizon site to show me the cookie banner. I guess the banner code lives on another domain that my uBO blocked.

It's an acronym for Wuhan Coronavirus. There are many coronoviruses and it's natural to use the place of origin to distinguish it from others. This is how we name other species and things in general. In science this is called bino

Some would call this a house arrest.

Interesting idea. I couldn't open the site, though, because uBO blocked something like 50 domains and figuring which ones are actually needed would be quite an effort. Yes, my uBO blocks everything unless I make an exception.

All these lawful warrants are pretty cool until the administration issuing them gets compromised. The thing is this has already happened and criminals at the top are now looking for ways to cement their power and prevent any competition. I
