It's common practice in the schools and universities in Japan to operate on 50 % capacity if the infection rate is high. There are strict mask mandates, social distancing and temperature checks are enforced. Knowledge source: I'm

I was fascinated by D. Englebart's "Augmenting the Human Intellect" and the whole Intelligence Amplification research direction (made always more sense to me than Artificial Intellignce). This is going off on a tangent, yet I

I have the 20th anniversary edition. It quotes the debunked magazine article directly: "In inner cities, some buildings are beautiful and clean, while others are rotting hulks. Why? Researchers in the field of crime and urban decay dis

Honestly, although I don't agree with the author's sentiment. Yet, even though I found the old version very influential and a great read at the time, the updated version feels a bit quaint for me. Especially because it uses old me

I mostly switched to librem 14, arch linux (i3wm, gnome from time to time), still using a mac for work (mostly presentations, video conferencing). Development tends to get more and more difficult on the mac for me (the security check for ru

Thanks a lot :) We are thinking about opensourcing. Not really any experience with it. It's quite easy to build yourself (ESP32 with EDA and heartrate attached). Can ask the hw team for the schematics (or just the sensing setup, I gue

I live in Tokyo, Japan. Nearly Everybody wears masks here (correctly). Several people even wear 2. Don't listen to him, he claimed there were spikes in Japan this winter when somebody pointed out the mask wearing ... Fundamental anti-

Is it? I was surprised how complex the heros as well as the antagonists are. One can understand their motivation of all and it has a couple of unpredictable twists. Compare that to standard Disney movies .. You can guess from the beginning

Spike in Japan this winter? lol ... yes it's really scary here 73 cases a day nation wide. The only spikes came during summer due to Olympics and Paralympics. Please stop making stuff up. The major difference to Germany I see between

Cool research. Given that you are also jamming hearing aids and other microphones, don't think it's practical to be used in real life. Off topic: check out Pedro's other work http://plopes.org/ Definitely tho

again the scanning is implemented on the phone. That's what matters for me. I have some code on my device that works as snitch against me. That might just be a feeling and irrational, yet I really don't want that. I know how it wo

I guess there's a kind of humor in the video. Yet, for me Linux has seen by far worse days. I can,remember how Microsoft didnt want to work with us, because we used communist software ... Also Linux is the most common OS on two planets
