I'd expect a tourist sub to have emergency tanks that can be emptied using simple mechanical means when the sub loses maneuvering capability; maybe even a dead man's switch that causes the sub to resurface. And I'd expect eme

That was a surprising lesson for me when I was roaming California and asked a local how to reach that hill: "You can't, it's private." Hadn't encountered the idea before that one could restrict access to forest like

So the CTO reports to the CEO who reports to the chairman. Who is the CTO. That circle just about guarantees that the fireworks will continue.

As I said, I wonder whether victims acting on such abstract threats is common.

by lolc 3y ago
Now I wonder how common cases are where the threat is made in such an abstract way that it wouldn't qualify for a court. Because from the victims perspective, just acting on a highly abstract threat is difficult. You'd expect some

Yes my wording was incomplete. It requires intent, just causing the connection is not enough. What I wanted to say is that it's hard not to leave evidence of one's intent. And be it circumstantial. So while I'm sure a lot of

I don't understand much about growing nano things, so I was wondering what the deal was. But then watching a battery charge to 80% in 6 minutes? I understand that! They'll have to develop superconducting charging cables so humans

Basic evidence is that the victim makes a connection between the threat and the offer. It is illegal to cause this connection. One can try plausible deniability but it's a gamble. Very smart people get convicted on circumstational evid

After reading some quotes coming from Mozilla "leadership" people, I decided to cancel the recurring donation I'd just set up. What a waste.

For the Libre 2 I use the dedicated hardware reader to initialize the sensor. This lets me avoid using the Abbott app altogether. The app for Libre 3 is called Juggluco. But really I haven't tested it, so this is just from reading abou

There now seems to exist an app that can read Libre 3 and feed to Xdrip, APS. I want to try it soon. Unfortunately you still need the official spy app to initialize the sensor.

Printers are often used to produce convincing fakes.

The same argument would work for a printer. Or nmap. It would be safer to not let people have these tools. Because criminals do make use of them too. Yet it is widely regarded as a good thing that nmap can be distributed and printers can be

Little story on this: I went low carb to have an easier time handling my diabetes. When the doctor found out, they sent me to a nutritionist. So the nutritionist would whip out the food pyramid and say: "you know this, right? We know t

Didn't Twitter try this half a year ago? Censoring links to competitors? That was rolled back swiftly. And I assumed the CEO learned their lesson. But no. When the bar owner doesn't let you talk about a show in the other bar, only

Looks more and more like a circus where people pay to cheer on the director clown. And lest somebody overinterprets this analogy: I don't doubt that some groups are using Twitter just fine and don't care about the brouhaha.

Whenever I follow a link to a Twitter post now, after maybe five replies there's a bunch of Musk's irrelevant tweets wheeled about. Quite the stench on that public square. If I needed Twitter for anything, I'd have registered
