Yeah, I include criminals in the power side too. In Italy Servia or Russia for example, the Mafia is part of the power structure. In some places of Africa it is already very dangerous to communicate digitally because of digital surveillance

Encryption does not confront safety. It is only FBI that wants us to think this way. Encryption IS safety against people in power holding too much power. I have the right to have private conversations with my family, friends and coworkers,

I have lived in China for some time and I am kind of tired of refuting nytimes, washingtonpost propaganda about China. Everything you read on those newspapers is about propaganda, propaganda to influence most small investors(what they call

I believe that people don't understand that when you work with a computer you are working with a machine that can work for you. Specially when you are a programmer. That is the first mindset that I will implant in any young programmer,

I disagree. I use mac all day and the icons don't pose a problem to me either to the young people in my family. Really frustrating for me are the changes in Spotlight launcher. It used to be instantaneous search and launch. Now it is p

Not true. Some humans did, some did not. There is always enthusiast as well as critics with any new tech. I have in my house big ads of commercial products With cocaine!! and Heroine! along with nuclear stuff when it was all the rage and we

You think so? If the computer that you are using right now, like an Ipad, or a PC with intel inside, has the ability to be remotely controlled, like it has with Intel ME, or Apple(for use when someone steals an Iphone...), and the law manda

Those things are terribly outdated. A modern Nintendo DS with a homebrew card is much much better and powerful, and all the low level you want or more, with better documentation than Graphing calculators(made by open source contributors). I

Kids this days don't care about GBA at all. Why should they? You have to understand that we emotionally connect with our past. You probably played with your friends on the GBA and shared great moments. But kids today will make friends

Chinese have not innovated yet in anything in the present day. The examples given are just taking individual parts, and copying them all in one system. The main difference is that in China there are not software and business patents. There

As I understand, Tesla has way bigger profits margins than Ford. What the company does is reinvest the profits, instead of giving it back to shareholders. It makes a lot of sense in a growing market.

Nobody will tell you that they vinyl is technically better, but that it sounds subjectively better for them. They will tell you that sounds better(for them). It is not imagination, it is taste. Lots of artist and people that love old music(

"With vinyl all you really need is something that rotates and a thin nail." All you need something that rotates and a thin nail? It is really hard to make something that rotates well enough to play vinyl discs. I know because I ma

It doesn't matter. Secret services kill people if it is in their country interest. They kidnap and torture(advance interrogation systems). They lie to congressmen and the general public. They do all this and nothing happens. They are o

As nobody has done it before I believe they are going to spend as much or probably more in refurbishing the old stage than building from scratch. As an engineer you get a lot of know how just doing something. The first time I used a CAD pro

It was not a scandal, it was criminal negligence, with lots of victims. My hyphothesis after talking with chemists in the field is that someone reused a container tank for synthetic oil in order to carry rapeseed oil. The rapeseed oil disso

The best thing you can do is to go to a makerspace near were you live. You will learn so much just by osmosis with the people that know just being around and looking. Then you need a project that you want to do and ask those guys how you ca

As the article says, if you want precision and repeatability, you don't use a FDM in the first place, you will mechanize the piece. As an engineer I use my FDM machines in order to detect "bugs" in my design, easily and cheap

The fact is that nobody knows if GMO are healthy or not. This is like saying that "machines are safe". It makes not sense, there all all kind of machines you can design. You should study a specific machine case by case. Gene modif

Food in the US is sh*t. There are great things in the US and UK( from where it comes from), but food is so wrong there. I lived some years in Japan, I enjoyed the food. China, not so much, but is is so big you can find anything, they have g

It is important to note that China had alphabetic systems, like Mongolian, since a long time ago. It was a conscious decision not to use them. Learning to write and read is much easier in alphabetic so the elite opposed it from the start as

My perception for watching the video is that the cage opener wants to mate with the rat inside once it is free. At least mount it. If there are from opposites sexes, there is certainly an egoistical reason for the rat to free the other. If

I don't really understand. If one accelerometer fails for years and nothing is reported it is a big failure on the design team, probably with criminal responsibility. Depending on GPS for main navigation is also very bad idea. In the n
