I've got another one. Our smartphones now have sensor-cluster nodes; they used have singular cameras but now there are multiple sensors facing the same direction. Like some spaceship or drone out of sci-fi.

There was this 1977 science fiction book called 'Inherit the Stars' by James Hogan [0] about finding the corpse of 50,000 year old astronaut on the moon. He carried a 'book' that was too fragile to read and to explore wi

I believe the 'AnySoftKeyboard' is a good opensource alternative for Android, no?

I think using the incognito method works? I wont bother with that though, i'd just pick up my phone. I suppose it depends on what you're here for. I just come for the links and discussions.

On Android, through f-droid, there is app called 'NewPipe'. It uses youtube-dl to let you search and watch videos. It can use your exported subscriptions to show you their videos. But the gui is so not interested in keeping your a

I don't know about you, but my anxiety-habits are a beast. If I overtly stop myself from doing something, then I can very easily undo it. The trick is to stop the habit from triggering. My trigger for HN is stress and I can't stop

This is brilliant! I've been suffering from work related anxiety for years which I've learned to douse with Youtube, Reddit or HN. This became a huge problem for me recently and so I had to try to break my habit loops (Cue -> A

Can you do a little better than a 'betcha'? A few pertinent examples of America interfering on behalf of mega-corps would do. I know they are there out there, but I can't recall them right now.

How did you not get that the term '25 bytes' is merely the size necessary to store the number of possible ratios instead of any actual information? Did no one read the discussion below about encoding information into pi? This is t

Total Human knowledge ~ 250 EB Assuming all of it can be described as ascii characters, (ratio of.12152205 could be read as 12-15-22-05, or “l-o-v-e.”) then let's assume 4 numbers will be required to encode one letter. That gives us, i

Let's assume that the rod is 1 m in length, and say I wrote a book that is perfectly represented by the number 0.abcdefg...yz. If that number is perfectly represented by one of the ratios in set 'h', then have I not stored mo

by jtrip 8y ago
But what does that have to do with the emergent ratio between the notch and the rod? There may be 10^35 possible steps, but that does not mean that the answer, the ratio of the notch and the rod, will be limited by that. The answer will com

How would you say a rod to notch ratio of 22/7 compares? How much information would you say that has?
47.
by jtrip 8y ago
How are you calculating a value of simply 15 bytes? The proposal is that the mathematical value of the ratio of the lengths of rod and the notch will deliver a value on the number line, which in effect can be of any desired length. You actu

Non programmer here. What cool new stuff can the apps do on my phone with the new APIs? Also, why do you think there is such dearth of custom phone OSs unlike the linux scene?

TL;DR 1. Meditate on death everyday when you wake up. Face the fact that you will die with help of a belief system that helps calm anxieties about death. Termed Terror Management Theory (TMT), it helps reduce existential anxieties. In the f

So, practically speaking, how would one go about setting this up for local use? I would this would also work very well for locally stored books and docs.

A local download only increases the redundancy. Tesoro keeps a copy, and the user keeps a local copy that they can also use however they want. A bit like keeping newspaper clippings, that are found decades later by some relative to be then

I don't think that people want things for free. People want things with the least amount of effort, money or not; Steam and Netflix have proven as much in context of piracy. People don't pirate as much because they have always wan

Can you point me to such subs? I have only been exposed to the 'joke' subreddit.

Gotcha. But I must say that not all are savvy enough, a lot of new people are coming to linux fleeing windows. They will need different solutions on linux soon, though there are bigger problems on linux than not having a mail archive browse

Do you have any plans for a linux release? Or a windows?

And that's a little scary, you sell a bit of yourself to get access to a service. It's not really the best case scenario I would want.

I don't think that is enough. Here we are relying on Google being magnanimous enough to not use the data to increase their profitability. And even beyond that, your opinion is a little naive to hold in a post-snowden world.

Not the OP, but the central idea is 'Information is Power'. It has existed for a long time in the books of all the powerful people and is essential to the very fabric of our universe (not hyperbole; information, entropy, debates a
