Friend of mine works at IEA, specifically on water projects. Over drinks he told me his biggest worry is the Himalayas basin destabilizing. Water from those glaciers supply something like 2bn+ people.

Sure, google is bad, but it's 2022 and searching for shows in Amazon Prime is ridiculously bad. Just yesterday I searched for "Adams family" knowing that they had a movie called "Adams family 2", and it just didn&#x

I've never heard of LightOn, and wish the website had a bit more concrete info on the specifics of the coprocessor, but I am somewhat familiar with a similar photonic coprocessor made by NTT (the Coherent Ising Machine). It's stil

One reasonable explanation I've heard for all the secrecy was that it was indeed Oswald, but in the heat of the moment one of the Secret Service guys shot JFK by mistake, and it was decided it was best to avoid the embarrassment.

I don't see anything fundamentally novel here, other than we're not going to be just laughing at weird things that turn out to be Turing complete, they're all practical intrusion vectors now.

It seems we're now at the point where anything Turing complete can be a vector. Wow...

He made the case that the connection to the blockchain would be only as a unique individual identifier, rather than like you use your phone for signal/whatsapp. Not sure if it's sad (all the hype for that) or funny

I didn't mean to imply that you should disregard human rights, only that when you look at it from a strictly strategic point of view, it aligns with the strategy that Apple follows in many other areas. See for example buying full chip

Disregarding the human rights/politics background, this sounds like standard operating procedure for Apple: Do whatever it takes to have unimpeded access to the best tools/tech needed for their mission

I still look at the pages have a vague sense that the text might not be just gibberish; for a while I wanted to run it through openCV to map all the different characters and do frequency analysis... The page numbering scheme does make sense

I had a chat with an engineer that was building apple stores (the big anchor ones). The stone for the walls came from a quarry that was fully bought by apple, apple people would go there to select the stones that had the quality they wanted

One way to use excess capacity is to become an airline... Looking at the types of projects that Musk has been working with (Boring, barges, etc), it doesn't strike me as fully ridiculous

Some (not sure if all) railway tracks were also affected [0]. There are two tracks that go into Vancouver (CN and CP have each their own I believe), not sure if both were affected. Keep in mind that the train also works as a pipeline of sor

I also wrote code when we had a baby (babies actually...), but with a different set of constraints. Me and my partner are from different countries, and we live in a third one, each with its own language, so we wanted to find names that &quo

I could have been a bit more precise, I guess you could always exercise with 100 meter (running) sprints and then get a 10-20 second workout that leaves you pretty drained too... That said there are some crazy youtube videos too for 100 met

One thing I enjoy about rowing is that you can get a lot of cardio in very short time. For example, 5 sets of 2 minutes on and one minute off aiming for 500 (or even 600) metres per set can leave you pretty drained.

I borrowed a Concept 2 at the start of the pandemic, it was great but they are pretty noisy (fan provides resistance). Eventually I returned it and bought a waterrower. I've been very happy with it. It's mostly wood, so looks nice

In my experience (both indoor and outdoor rowing), you can get much more cardio out of rowing than running. Rather than core the main muscle you use is your legs, if you see professional rowers they're not very bulky above the waist, b
