It would be a bit funny if somebody wrote the Wikipedia article in the same style as the novel (parody, sarcasm, and a complete lie).

Which gets me wondering: when installing MRIs, do they perform test runs at lower powers and try to detect such leak, maybe with some kind of handheld detector?

And this is why engineers have invented the dead man's switch a long time ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_man%27s_switch The basic idea is that the switch can only be maintained in a non-braking state by a

I'm just glad they used gelatin to simulate a bird. As soon as I heard the guy say he wanted to compare the impact of a drone vs the impact of a bird, I was mentally gasping. XD I wonder if the results would have been different if they

Just pick a better language (e.g. Python/Ruby/Groovy/C#). Period. And JavaScript was never as horrible as PHP anyway, in my opinion. The thing is, you have more control over what language you can run on the server-side, where

False marketing would be in and of itself illegal, if this happened in Hong Kong.

No need to tamper with the chip, just replace the red LED with a green one.

Where do you think Keanu comes from? ;-) (badumtss) Jokes aside, I graduated from Concordia University in Montreal and feel quite ironic that the Troitsky Bridge Building Competition is a thing while we seem to suck at building real bridges

How do you even know that we’re the only species with a sense of esthetics and able to appreciate beauty and harmony? I wouldn’t be surprised if elephants, dolphins, other primates, and certain species of birds have some intellectual capaci

How ironic that Huawei uses the word "Honor" in some of its models.

Ah, ok. So the classes are not very special-purpose (e.g. firefighting vs search-and-rescue), at least where you’re from.

Which makes me wonder: are there different classes of heliopter piloting license? Maybe one for commercial passenger flight, one for forest firefighting, one for work on overhead power lines, one for acrobatics, one for search-and-rescue? M

Free air-con and free water. In HK, some subdividing landlords charge tenants for electricity for ~10x the price of the power company, which really should be made an illegal practice.

I wonder if either openmoko or pid.codes actually check that the open hardware in the applications actually exist and work as advertised. Like, I could create a stub project and publish it under an FOSS/OSHW license, but nothing in it

As far as the iPhone goes, it’s probably good enough if it can be configured to always send notifications to the associated Apple Watch and/or AirPods, and just plain shut up if those accessories are not around.

Are those urchins edible/tasty? What you might need is urchin-eating tourism, then you’ll get your funding for cleaning them up.

I wonder how iOS keeps track of the 7 days in question. For an iOS device still connected to the internet or to a mobile phone network, I presume it will periodically make an NTP request or get the date/time from the mobile phone carri

IMHO, the Phillips head is pure evil and persists mostly because it’s one of the best ways to cause consumer-induced early obsolescence in any product that requires assembly by the end-consumer. It’s a huge unspoken conspiracy in the manufa

Except if they are too late. Take a look at the new Dell XPS 15” 2-in-1, with Intel Core i7-8705G (with AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH, 4GB of dedicated HMB2), e.g. That thing ticks most checkboxes of a pro machine, except for the “is a Mac” and

What if time travelers did show up, but only in any of the multiverses except this one? What if all of the time travelers turn out to be multiverse versions of Professor Hawking himself?
