   What does that do? I mean you can walk in 1G just fine, so probably we could go there, take a walk/sit there in 1.6G, and leave, right? That means that if we put a 100km wide structure around it, we can service it easily(?) even withou

   Just the lack of syntax and type checking is a serious burden on folks who don't have those committed to muscle memory. That said, that's the easiest part of mathematics.

   You had not talked to the locals, as they are in the concentration camps. You talked to those that the CCP transplanted there to slowly (meaning rapidly) dilute and replace the population with good comrades.

   Aren't the checkpoints and the camps there and functioning? (BBC video report?) Don't people have to install whatever spy apps on their phones? Is that not totalitarian enough?

    Of course, but there are instances of the opposite. I encounter both from time to time. For example I want to show someone a video while having a drink, usually it doesn't have to be crisp 4K 60fps, just play the god damn thing before

    Synapses' strength and ANN weights are sort of similar, but the learning process is different (co-activation vs loss propagation). Plus brains have neuroplasticity, but ANNs usually have at least one fully connected layer so it can emu

    I meant that easyDNS should handle the BGP for its clients, without requiring their clients to use them as registrars. There's HE.net's free DNS, and though they don't explicitly advertise as, it's anycasted. (Check via

    But you can just add multiple DNS providers yourself. I mean you can add the namservers of both easyDNS and cloudflare. EasyDNS just automates this. In theory they could simply create a few subsidiaries, let's call them saferDNS1,2,3 a

    They want to be the registrar to be able to update your NS records. But ... that's not really important nor needed (So the answer to your question yes, it's likely artificial). Just use two anycast-ed IPs/domains. (Like Cloud

    I'm not saying people shouldn't do more for user experience, but the cost-benefit seems to be bimodal. Do the minimum, or pay YT/NF/Vimeo (or CF or AWS Streaming, or get ready to bankroll your own).

    What's wrong with buffering? Just let the client download it in full, provide a progress bar, and then allow it to watch/enjoy. Obviously it's not going to be YouTube/Netflix-level anyhow.

    Twitter (and "social media" in general [0]) is an extreme outlier. Cancel culture is real, and a bit of real progress might be happening too, but judging it simply based on twitter is like judging anything based on what the most a

    The problem is, currently there is not enough economic activity spent on storage (or any CO2-neutral thing really). You probably know the numbers. To switch off CO2 emissions we would need to build CO2-free power plants about 10 per day for

    Yes. We used Rust to drive a few things via GPIO and USB-RS232 a few years ago on a Raspberry Pi, it was a pretty pleasant experience. Maybe take a look at this I2C lib: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-i2cdev
