Can anyone tell me what mechanism would prevent any other software on the same system from intercepting the connection to Chrome? This isn't really an issue when running with X11 on Linux as any app can grab text from another window bu

I wonder if the use of pouch cells may in the end turn out to be the wrong choice. Isn't it strange that all incumbent manufactures use those while a good chunk of startups + Tesla went with cylindrical?

Maybe we (the EU countries) should have mercy with them, let's just set a time limit of 1000 years, then they can't claim forever and everyone should be happy, right?

I think the real point is that LIDAR has its own shortcomings. Currently the range is too limited, it's sensitive to fog and rain (more than cameras) and it's very expensive. Note that Tesla's for example don't only use

So would we call it a loss of autonomy if a human occupant would only grant an override saying "Standing still is not an option!"? I guess you would want such a feature when there is no steering wheel, e.g. if there is a forest fi

Hmm, seems neither current gcc nor clang can compile this even with -ansi or -std=c89

Well as for trains you can still run them using wires, almost the entire European railway network is electrified

Their currently cheapest model is $45k so while it's true that they aren't there yet, they're closing in. And I'd say building $45k vehicles today is much closer to $35k than building an eGolf with 200 km range today and

That's honestly quite terrifying. In Germany there was a supply chain problem for rabies vaccine a while back and even though they seem to have managed it kinda scared me.

And that's one of the main benefits of the Milwaukee protocol, even if it likely doesn't work, induced coma is still the best place to be once you show rabies symptoms.

Since the vaccine is pretty harmless and saves you from certain death if you got infected. It's a very very good idea to get a rabies shot after any close contact with any mammal with unknown vaccination status.

And it's a very good idea to get a rabies vaccine shot if you find an unknown dog in your bed at night. Like a very very good idea

I heard that about it not being recommended too but find it to be one of the stupidest things in medicine ever. Because while it's no longer recommended, the only other "treatment" is painkillers and wait until the patient is

Maybe Apple should build SSD storage thingies that are exactly the same size as the mini so they can be stacked. They're already stacking them for demos and it would definitely look cool. Especially if you get Thunderbolt cables that e

That's why this time it should be tied to the power of the biggest IT firms. If Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft were willing to let their servers break the middle boxes even the most fucked up, stupid, slow IT department would ha

I think the best move for Amazon would be to take the domain and just have it redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amazon

At least with KDE/Plasma most of this can actually be done in a UI. I'm an Arch Linux user myself and I haven't hand edited an Xorg configuration file in at least 3 years.

I don't think IPs were ever a viable tracking tool besides detecting the country. NAT has been the default for most home networks and as a marketer you really don't want to confuse a mid-forties dad with their 14 year old daughter

Almost no one in Europe has per-capita energy use anywhere close to the US, so why would China? And I don't think it's just that we have less AC, though that's surely the strongest contributor.

I think the solution isn't to change the publishers it's to let them go bankrupt. In my experience in Computer Science most papers are at conferences and if those simply focused on the conference itself and maybe a website linking

I wonder what the impact of HTTP/2 on this is. Presumably connection multiplexing and keeping them open for longer works surely mitigate a lot of the latency?

This becomes doubly interesting once those users are in a different jurisdiction. I highly doubt a EU court would be willing to uphold such a bullshit term for a US company. Especially since many EU countries have quite strong laws against

I really want to like this and conceptually the idea of being a simple command is appealing. That said, I feel like writing a shell script and especially their example is really really off putting. For one the flexibility it offers means pe

To me Dyson spheres seem decidedly low tech. Why do we think a very advanced alien species would a) even need such an amount of power b) use such a primitve method as wrapping a star in solar panels? The only stuff I can imagine needing suc

Great site, thank you! Looking at the Falcon Heavy Roadster launch, is it intended that all stages have "Land success: x" even though just the center core failed to land?
