Well, that's where "lots of corners in the airpipe design" comes in. That, plus what I said before are big points in making something big.

Well, a double walled enclosure with vacuum inbetween would seal out a lot. Plus you could market it as "the double vacuum". Profit!

I don't think it would be that hard to invent. What's hard is making it silent and compact.

What I wonder is - If you're married and have sex with a robot, is that cheating? And does whether it is cheating or not depend on the degree to which the AI is "lifelike"?

Two things: When I click on an ID in the example, I can't get back except for using the browser back button. Also, the EPF link tries to send me to epif.io.

Look, I'm all for weird stuff, but when a site features ads that read "FACT: Cancer is a Fungus, It Can Be Prevented" and two "X banned/hate this video"... hmm, how about no?

If the oil makes the other six figure people deliver six figure work and if without them, they'd only deliver 5 figure work, then no. That money is invested reasonably. People aren't idiots, they realize when somebody else enables

I've always wondered - at what level is a person contributing to the Tuna shortage? I rarely eat fish to begin with, have yet to go to a sushi place. But I do have a can of Tuna on Pizza about every month. Is that already too much?

I recently read an article about the Stasi. I was strangely fascinated by Zersetzung - as I understand it, one of the main objectives was to supply other people with evidence against your own sanity. "[R]eplacing one variety of tea wit

Sometimes I wonder. When Seal Team Six stormed his compound, an attack launched from an occupied into a sovereign country and killed him although he was unarmed. I wonder whether he felt dread or achievement.

You can almost see the scene. A CEO of an important contractor in a room with two NSA henchmen. "Larry, it has come to our attention that you don't really feel good about the way in which we make America safer." - "We ha

Years ago, when I was a little involved with the FSFE, I did a bit of graphics design for some people there. One thing I made was that small graphic one you see in the header there. Seeing it again now after years... Weird. Then I went to

Link seems gone already. Next time, take a screenshot, otherwise it's a bit hard to prove you were right - especially considering you are making claims about mentions of drug use.

Alright, safe for the fact that this may still turn out to be an impossible technology after all for something we're all missing and also for Musk being off by an order of magnitude (which I don't see to be that plausible). Even i

That may be true, but the only thing you really need is to find a company that is willing to build this while chipping in some of the R&D cost. I don't think such a company would be hard to find because if they get this done, they

Fully agreed - I think the main problem of NoFlo is that I'm not sure who they're trying to get on board. Developers will be put off by the appeal for "popular" platforms and the dumbing down. But I'm not sure who e

That's the thing - I would probably end up having to write my own "NoFlo engine" since I'd only care about using it in a different (non-nodejs, non-smartphone) context. I linked to the meemoo demo above and I did like th

Your post is about using NoFlo to rebuild Jekyll. So you're saying that you did that without the UI? If yes, that's not really rebuilding Jekyll in NoFlo. If no - sharing an interface that I can try and tweak is the single best wa
