Not sure if it's just a "trust us" thing, but a way to accomplish this would be anonymous credentials. https://csrc.nist.gov/presentations/2022/stppa4-anonym-cred

Just "backup" the data with duplication. For example you could color the floor beneath the mosaic, and the grout used for each tile, so as each layer is removed or faded, it still lasts a little longer. Duplicate your mosaic on bo

I don't find anything unconvincing about it. The program is flawed because it doesn't account for cattle smuggling. My comment is about evolutionary pressure to bypass our control methods.

While this can probably be explained by flaws in the program, I wonder if there's a chance of an evolutionary jump that would help the screwworms overcome the sterilization program. Increased radiation resistance, females mating multip

How so? It sounds like they are saying high intensity light with wavelengths in the infrared and visible affect the chip, suggesting higher and lower wavelengths don't even with high intensity.

If you go smaller you can use wood for the blades too. Smaller doesn't scale as well, but if you design and build them right you can still get more energy than it takes to produce them: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com&#x2F

I work in software where bugs can be very disruptive for the end user's very important job. Typescript was a godsend over JavaScript. I've blamed issues on changes where the developer clearly didn't grok the area they were ch

Small cities can support mass transit. Street cars and buses can do an excellent job when you don't have the scale for a subway system. Yes neighborhoods should contain every need, but when you plan neighborhoods to revolve around cars

I'd say Gattaca touches on how easy it is to edge a little over the line of what is a "disease". For example this scene touches on "prejudicial conditions" like baldness: https://www.youtube.com/watc

Tire noise increases with speed and weight. At freeway speeds, tires make 60% of the noise of a typical ICE vehicle[0]. Electric cars are also heavier than ICE vehicle due to the battery. High speed AV only roads would probably have more ca

In the video I linked it goes over various reasons that would be a bad: road noise(tire noise exceeds ICE engine noise at pretty low speeds, so being an EV doesn't help), asphalt erosion, tire erosion, brake erosion, all of which are p

No pedestrian crossings. No bike lanes. No escape from the noise of thousands of tires going at high speed. No escape from the air pollution of eroding tires and brakes. A vision of that future from a skeptic: https://www.youtube

Even autonomous vehicles pale in comparison to good mass transit, so if we're eliminating human-driven vehicles, might as well replace them mostly with mass transit instead.

Some argue that autonomous driving will enable even worse infrastructure choices if we don't plan ahead. The Youtuber Not Just Bikes, for example, did a video called "How Self-Driving Cars Will Destroy Cities (and what to do about

A great thing about the Netherlands is that their infrastructure makes it much easier for them to take away the licenses of older drivers who no longer can pass driving tests without leaving that person stranded at home.

Evidence of bacterium that causes Lyme disease was also found in the 5000+ year old "Iceman" mummy found in the alps. People have described the disease in the 1700s, 1800s and in the 1900s prior to the outbreak in Lyme. Ticks pres

My state, Wisconsin, has had a long political and legal battle over the construction of high voltage lines from the Madison area to Dubuque, Iowa. Opposition ranges from aesthetics to wildlife conservation to it just being a waste of money.

Weight loss shouldn't be the end goal. Health and fitness are what make life longer and more enjoyable. But it happens that excess weight inhibits health and fitness too. A skinny person can be unhealthy and unfit too.
