Next up is graphene pollution. All such new tech should also have tech that allows for natural decomposition and shouldn't probably be used until that is available as well.

With humans, you can change an opinion. Once AI has made up its mind, there isn't anything you can do anymore. The entire system and extended network of interaction points will stick to the decision/stance it has made. If you are

Not really. There are actual deaths on the ground with desperately hungry people being denied benefits due to the bio-metric authentication systems flaking out. So much so that the CEO of the agency managing this system himself has an authe

Not sure how many of you run pihole and check the logs. The number of sites tracking people is crazy. To top it, devices and android phones in particular, seem to be doing it a little too much as well. I tried using mi phones for a while an

The tools are probably probably domain specific as well. But are there any standard/OTS commercial tools for this?

What are there tools that help simulate complex systems? Things like biochemical balances in the human body, economies, enzyme actions and homeostasis, environment and climate? Etc etc...? What tools are used by those in the profession?

Aadhaar in India is far worse. 99% of the data has leaked multiple times already. It also seems to sport all the classic signs of an amateur project. Post facto design changes, unauthenticated mails, unprofessional mobile apps, leaky access

Way too much information leakage from its mobile OS (MiUI?) back to China though.

I find it weird that there isn't enough outrage about this and it is already beginning to be the new normal. In a more ideal world, Apple would have been forced to issue a patch that reverses this forced obsolescence on consumers.

Problem is I didn't find anything reputable. Most of the sources I got was tinged with "woo woo" UFO lore. But a googling will show you. Also found a Joe Rogan video with the Delonge guy.

It's not an unknown alloy. I dug around a bit and it's a 3d layer printed nano-composite of very high purity bismuth and magnesium doped with some other trace elements and a crystal structure that they think indicates it was grown

They should change their marketing; 50% faster than before* In small letters: *for 500 charge cycles. After that it will run at the speed of your coffee maker.

Interesting. In another 300-500 years, I am pretty sure we will start simulating sensory experience and ultimately the past. I am not sure if I am a toy simulation of the past from the future, right now.

Given a choice between surviving and building something new, anyone would choose surviving. The red tape in India even now is atrocious. Recent raids on sales tax enforcers turned up corruption money in truckloads.

In the same vein, any one know of a cheap (around 30-50$) dual NIC SOC?

The biggest grouse I have with most linux desktops I have is the font rendering. I understand that it is to do with the patents on cleartype etc, but its been so many years with this problem

This is being pushed through in haste and rips a huge hole in privacy for its citizens. The Indian state and the agency managing this exercise (UIDAI) have refused to own up to responsibility for any breaches. They have even gone ahead and

If we could do large scale engineering we would engineer something like this I suppose to increase the habitable worlds in a system.

Strangely, we dont get to see as many of the cheaper chromebook laptops in a country like India where taxes are such a huge part of a laptop price. A macbook or a thinkpad are out of reach for most people here.

This means I'll be recognized even if I appear in photographs taken by others in public places and I dont even use FB. This is unsettling.

Ahh, it's the BBC. I think we have reached a point in journalism where it has now become important to identify who is reporting it as well. At this rate we will need a simple content bias/color code plugin for different sites. As

The other problem is that laptops are being built like mobile phones, with everything soldered to the board and the whole thing either sealed shut or taped down. Upgradeable & portable laptops just dont seem to exist at the price points
