Since cosmic rays are an enemy of electronic equipment, I wonder how well would a fluidics [1] system work, and where are the limits of miniaturization. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

Some math is needed here, but intuition tells me 20% of X companies is more than 1% of X + Y companies, Y being those who decide to evade taxes by being incorporated in Ireland.

No, that would require a precision that's probably still decades away. It could be used to grossly place people and large objects, and notice their movement. Sensing voice would require to monitor vibrations in either the person speaki

I wonder how hard it would be to transform this Amazon network into an independent mesh network, out of Amazon's control.

My advice: connect it to a restricted network, where it can successfully ping home and assert internet connectivity, but everything else (except maybe updates or whatever you want to allow) just fails. A better, more useful approach is to h

On contrast, I've been into photography for more than 20 years, and I currently own a Nikon D60 that was gifted to me 2 or 3 years ago (and that would cost less than $200 if I would have bought it instead). I can afford an A7IV or what

It would only require such uniformity for some millennia, that is how long civilization has existed. A hundred thousand years tops, if you're to believe traditional tales and mythology ;) We don't know if alien civilizations inter

Life is inevitable + Evolution is a universal law = Intelligent life is inevitable Given the proper conditions, that is. A planet that is just a ball of magma won't see life (as we know it) until it cools down.

I don't believe in The Great Filter, as I disagree with it's basic premise, i.e. the Fermi paradox. The Prime Directive is the most plausible explanation.

A while ago I read a comment that was really eye opener: most big YouTube photography channels out there are mostly about gear, not about "taking pictures". It shows how much money the industry moves (or how prevalent GAS is).

Millions of people having problem A doesn't make problem A harder to solve than problem B. I bet most overweight Americans don't want to lose weight. Of course they want to be at that ideal body type, but they don't want to p

Yeah, no. Not by a million miles. Not eating is easy, you just ignore the hunger pain. Gaining weight is extremely hard for some people. I bet you don't know the feeling of forcing your 2nd dinner down your throat and trying not to vom

I agree about the walking part. Walking 10k steps a day is the bare minimum to be considered a healthy habit, and it might be great if you're 70, injured or very out of shape, but we shouldn't be aiming at that. Sport is an area w

To be fair, a lot of science is named after and even inspired from sci-fi works. The Alcubierre drive comes to mind, which was inspired by Star Trek. But yeah, Andy Weir is far from a classic in that regard.

Isn't ipsec just TCP over TCP? UDP might be better, but the TCP solution works today, no need to wait until HTTP/3 gets widely adopted.

What stops you from tunneling VPN inside TLS, or directly over TCP? Something like https://github.com/moparisthebest/wireguard-proxy
