Manufacturers and designers will naturally optimise their products (for energy, flops, features, time to market and/or cost) in order to gain an edge over their competitors. Thier requires them to either patent, license, or otherwise o

You’ve plainly accused the whole citizenry of the UK as co-conspirators of global ‘terror and calamity’, which is hardly a mature and empathetic perspective on history. And your point about Stolen Generation still has nothing to do with Bri

Is this written by bootleg AI? The Immigration Act 1901 ostensibly insured that only British subjects could ever immigrate, but that was replaced in the 1950’s. It was not directly related to the Stolen Generation. The Racial Discrimination

I got a textbook that had a piece of lint embedded in a sticker. I don’t remember the actual authentication workflow, but I think the idea was to enter a code to a website, which would pull up a series of photos and you could select the rig

You’re ignoring the sociopath-technical and accessibility aspects. It has already allowed people to deliver products that they would otherwise require deep expertise (see the recent Galactic Centre app post) or interaction with inaccessible

I don’t doubt it, but like I said it’s not going anywhere, and the next generation will be more prepared than ever to tackle those sorts of problems. Also, I’d argue that rock has caused suffering. It’s indirectly responsible for the middle

Every generation had a real or perceived existential crisis that might have prompted this type of mindset. The Great Depression, World Wars, Communism, rock music, nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, global warming… This latest one isn’t going

What I would really like is a tool that takes a video or series of photos, and automatic catalogues the contents. This would be nice from a ‘document all the things’ perspective, but really, really convenient in case of a fire or theft clai

Apple lidar is absolutely suited to this, and I’ve always thought there is an opportunity to integrate it into the dollhouse addon in Homeassistant. Or, create a digital twin of your garden, and simulate light shadows throughout the day aft

I highly doubt the owners didn’t notice a power meter being removed. The theft angle is a bit hard to believe.

Stolen, or deliberately scrapped by the owners? It’s entirely possible they legitimately thought that the FCC wouldn’t care about the AM requirement in their license. The owners would almost certainly know that the thing went offline. They

In complex technical environments, it often doesn’t make sense to have an in-depth expert assigned to every system. You get a consultant in to set it all up and get the gears moving, but you can often get less experienced, or more versatile

This is probably more suited to /r/askreddit It’s not going to stimulate much in depth conversation other than the usual ‘humans won’t be around by then’ response.

The thickeners are (along with the obvious reason of thickness) to avoid ‘serum’, which is the undesirable blurt of pale, watery liquid that comes out of you don’t shake it enough.

They removed sodium benzoate in the early 20th century. They put this tweet [1] out a couple of years ago alongside some other social media campaigns. The consensus was at the time was that it’s shelf stable due to the acidity, but it stil

My nirvana is to be able to create a dollhouse using the LiDAR Scanner on my phone, and simply tap where device is. No modelling, just let me tap somewhere in a digital twin.

That involved massive movement of people, weapons, and vehicles, let alone factories and resources. Chip making is expensive, but what do you do with 7T? Buy out every engineer on the planet with half of it, and have them work on problem

They would be 1.7cm long if they were 100 time smaller than the average human. Seems to check out. I’m glad you weren’t referring to weight. The average human weighs 60-80kg, depending on what region you’re in. The heaviest spider is the Go

I just googled the scutigera and they’re somewhat more adorable than the giant centipedes we have in Australia (no they’re not everywhere, but they’re enough to startle you).

I think the tone of the tweet is off putting, and while the lag doesn’t seem totally unsafe, it does look a bit poor. That said, how much play is in a normal steering system, powered or otherwise?
