It's like a hostage situation. They are choosing the worst way of making 23 billion. They could instead do real innovation and just tack a grand onto the price. People will still buy new cars.

Interesting article. Though I don't think the cryptography angle will pan out. I wonder if it was added because crypto's been a buzz word of late, and the researchers just really wanted to build this camera.

That's a big experiment. That's like google saying, hey let's make search crap and see how long we can coast before that becomes a systemic issue for us. hmmmmm I don't think this pivot will work.

I work around and with a climate scientists. What I worry about has changed. Metrics and crash statistics are fine. And if they are collecting some dystopian level of data, then I bet that google and facebook has them beat already.

In real life, if you're in the public square shouting your opinions at whomever will listen it's somewhat risky. Twitter are just providing the same digital risk for the modern public square. It's a feature, not a bug.

No, 11. Took the last place I worked about 5 years to rollout a pretty good solution to a massive legacy set of servers. Though I gotta say, the super privileged automated certificate renewer thingy does seem like a real honey pot.

I would guess you'd do something like try and cast any electrical components in something like a resin so it's just a solid brick that can handle the stresses. But 10k G is a lot.

I think creating cannons along the designs of Gerald Bull would be more promising. Just huck cube sats into orbit. Obviously you'd probably want a cube sat with no moving parts or something that could withstand what I'd assume to

Is there that much instrumentation looking outwards or inwards that would be useful enough on scale to have this sort of service? If you look at services like QuickBird you can get high res meter resolution satellite imagery pretty cheap.

At the supermarket ask someone in the produce section if they have any empty non broken broccoli shipping boxes. They are usually just thrown away and are polystyrene coolers. Or you know, just buy one, cry once and get a Yetti.

One point regarding Goldeneye and fx generally. From a lay persons perspective Goldeneye has pretty snappy pacing so from memory some of the sets, such as the starting chemical plant explosion look a little fake, but the movie just chuggs a

Amazon could buy up physical cinemas and the just book to their own shops. The platforms are actually pretty good value. It would be better if you could have a more video store approach and then watch whatever from any platform. But the cur

I somewhat think the obvious political decision is to embrace a bit of corruption for the greater good, and just offer the fossil fuel companies the opportunity to transition to green energy and own the next great monopoly. Or just pick new

Tech needs regulation like the finance industry in this regard. Regulation that can push responsibility for breaches up the chain. There must be ways to escalate and if something is seen and reported but not acted on, then liability goes up

It's not a perfect system, it's a estimate system. Generally it'll work generally well. Having a set of optics with a mils reticle really too, because then you can take the human element out of it.
