For some reason all topics involving the ageing progress have clickbaity headlines when repeated by the news. How come that they always call it 'reversing', when it obviously can't be nothing more than 'slowing down&#x27

Here in Germany we get a Digipass 2FA device from our bank (something like this [0]). For every transaction, you put your banking card in, hold it up to the flashing pattern on the screen, and it creates a TAN for you. Very convenient and s

I'm always fascinated with how deep some niche-topics are. I mean, it's just a shoelace and very few people think about it at all. So cool! Fun fact: searching for 'shoelace' on google puts this site on third place for m

LOL yeah.. don't get me started about JS :D. I more of a C++ guy, but I like Java very much and have used it extensively in the past. I personally like a good C/C++ joke and can't understand why the Java devs are so serious.

If that is true, it's stuff for nightmares. Here is something I made to lighten the mood: https://i.imgur.com/qzOPn85.png .. or maybe this is even scarier. I'm not sure. edit: downvotes from java devs incoming :D

"That’s a surprise, considering how well this area has been studied by researchers" Is it? We don't know much about the individual types of neurons at all - it's a sisyphean task, there are just too many. We don't e

I don't think so. Unless they figure out a non-invasive technique that spatially samples brain activity with a high resolution at high speeds (think sub-millimeter @ several kHz), that is also cheap and wearable, there is NO way you ca

True friends support you, no matter what, especially during a depressive episode. If they don't, they are not your friends. It might help to distance yourself, or to learn to ignore them.

People have learned that you can simply strip that part out of the address... it's in the standard. If you want to know where your data leaked out, you should use a different email every time (e.g. use your own domains).

Dito. The whole point of adolescence is to 'wire' the brain for the environment it has to perform in. The term 'rewiring' implicates that there is some kind of expected structure or operating mode that every brain has to

Now, how about reducing the resolution and increasing the speed? E.g. a one pixel display and a one pixel camera that runs at MHz or GHz Speed? You'll have to add some modulation though, otherwise you can't sync the two devices. W

Not OP here: Yes that would definitely work, but you have to be aware that color channels of the monitor and camera are not mapped 1:1, there will be some overlap. Also be aware the light in the environment influences the light received by
