   Yet another alarmist article. These predictions are so easy to make and nobody cares if you are wrong. From the past (you can google more yourself): https://apnews.com/article/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0 https:&#

   I am sure FBI will find that "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." as it usual

   The number Mask is targeting is $10/kg to orbit. With all supplies, it means under $10k / person for a week in orbit.

   “People are buying EVs because they are better…” Right, exactly the reason why governments around the world first try to subsidize EVs through various schemes (tax rebates, discounts, etc), and then it doesn’t work - threaten to stop non-EV

   Except that coronaviruses are wide spreader on all continents. But even if we look at the closest known relatives of covid19, we are literally looking at half of Asia ( https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02596-2

    There are two theories: - the covid19 was created naturally and just happen to happen near the only place on Earth (or one out of two or three places?) that study covid19-style viruses; - the covid19 was created in the lab and leaked outsid

    Last time I was writing mail client code was around 2004-2005 and even around that time every large IMAP provider (AOL, Yahoo, …) had UID support.

    I have a slightly different take - our current ML models try to approximate the real world assuming that the function is continuous. However in reality, the function is not continuous and approximation breaks in unpredictable ways. I think

    In order to need compass, I will need to lose 5 GPS devices in the plane, 2 portable GPS (iPad and iPhone), 2 VORs, ADF, radar (yes it can be used for navigation), and 3 radios (ask for vectors). No I don’t care about compass or it’s accur

    So I tried. Walking into the kitchen, I said “light on in current room”. Alexa: “did you mean lights in the movie theater”? Why???????????

    I like voice command but Alexa is just not that great. Simple example: there are rooms and each device (e.g. echo or smart lights switch) is assigned to a room. I have multiple echos and multiple smart light switches throughout the house. I

    Thanks, this is basically combination of somewhat central servers plus nearly always online model. I need to think about it - on the first glance I am not 100% sure the role Tor plays in this model. Is this described somewhere in more deta

    If contacts discovery is somehow solved, then I can see potential options of using short range comms (eg bluetooth) for connectivity. Basically all ideas I have are: 1) somewhat central server(s) 2) always on plus constant updates (what bri
