I'm sorry, but most of that is nonsense (besides oxides being tough to break). Where is this "elsewhere" you're planning to grow food for the /world population/? Protecting people from heat is one thing but wha

Long-term storability seems very desirable for certain classes of data. But a problem might be to conserve the crystal reader system which I assume needs to be well-calibrated and sort of fragile. You might have to have some sort of bootstr

It doesn't seem to work with mp4 or mkv containers out of the box. I tried it recently to deshake a video and it was quite frustrating to use, although I managed to do it in the end.

Are there any geographical limits? Does this e.g. work in Europe too?

Are you sure that that won't have begun to change after one year of pandemic-related Home-Office?

Have two cams on the edges instead to avoid this and calculate an average image. (Or even use it for stereoscopy)

You could generate parity files to guard against this. There was some discussion recently here about tools to do it. One example that is decent is https://github.com/brenthuisman/par2deep

I don't have the ability to downvote your comment but if I could I would. This sort of suggestion of niche web sites (by different people) that I basically would have never comes across except through some recommendation is something t

I think that you're wrong specifically and in what seems like an uncharitable insinuation about China. 对等 duì deng: equal status/treatment, parity (under the law), equity, reciprocity 在对等的基础上 Zài duì děng de jīchǔ shàng on the ba

I almost did but I tried something else and found the likely reason: the file name contained an "ä". Par2deep also fails when there's a CJK character in the filename. After removing these non-ascii characters it works. But th

Afaik that's exactly what these cryptolockers often do: after infecting a system they start encrypting things while sitting between the user and the OS to transparently forward file access. This also goes for any accessible network dri

I'm not saying it's untrue. but that op is saying that something bad is happening at signal without saying what exactly they mean (hence my !!1!-ing) is what I find annoying and I would qualify that as FUD.

That's not true afaik. Signal days that they don't store phone numbers beyond the initial setup/verification. See here: > Does Signal send my number to my contacts? Signal does not send your phone number to anyone unless y

If all the interesting stuff happens on the client and the server "just" forwards encrypted messages, why would the server need frequent updates?

Severely limiting? Please... Signal Desktop can be improved but I use it daily and it works for me™. Also, in many other countries, many people don't even have a PC (outside of work) but they'll definitely have a smartphone. So pr

Hi. I tried it out with some random pictures and par2deep wasnt able to generate the par2 file for one of them. The error was createdfiles_err. I used the GUI on win10, the file names are of normal length, file permissions are the same as f

You imply that they don't understand this. Are you sure this is the case? It could be that their priorities are simply elsewhere. Things will take time, even with funding because any crypto/security mistake will be so incredibly m

I totally understand what you mean and I also frequently look up older conversations to enjoy again the in-jokes, banter and actually useful information of my chats. However to avoid 1) having to manually delete things and 2) accumulating h
