I had problems with older (Intel) Mac Pro and usage of monitors on both HDMI and display port at once. That wasn't an Intel thing, and that sort of thing could happen with any hardware that isn't tested with every combination of o

In the U.S., my experience with Whatsapp was that I created an account and never used it once to communicate with anyone, then I deleted it. I've also withdrawn from social media. The exception for now is HN, because it's more of

The emptiness I associate with a robot leading a prayer while still imagining it eventually being a truly spiritual experience for more and more people is strange. A materialistic interpretation may be that spirituality is nothing but a per

Eagle Cash makes me think of something related to the World Space Commission[1][2]. But, apparently the US Dept. of the Treasury[3] manages three kinds of payment cards, EZPay, EagleCash, and Navy Cash. Both the Army and Air Force use Eagle

I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed... Are you saying that they'd be spherical in three dimensions, more than one set of three dimensions, or some other number? And, as Keller and Hughes once put it, "Don't change you

We have safety statistics on real cars with a minority of autonomous vehicles on the road. What we don't have are adequate safety statistics on autonomous cars on the road with each other and human drivers at various ratios of autonomo

e.g. "This autonomous car is 4-5x safer than your human-driven car." When people hear numbers like that, they may assume it's based on sufficient data and is true, even if it's theory. But how could it be true or accepta

The 4-5x is based on statistics of a sample with a high ratio of human drivers to autonomous drivers, if done on the road today. Autonomous won't be known to be N times as safe as human driving until there are sufficient autonomous car

There's a patent for a memory metal sail[1], telescopic sail mast[2], automatic retractable sail[3], and many others[4]. Also, there's the Oceanbird[5], a modern car-carrying ship with telescopically retractable metal sails. [1]-

With the technology we have today, why couldn't self-drying, self-folding, self-stowing sails be used to make ships even more efficient? Edit: there actually is a ship called the Oceanbird[1] with telescopic metal sails. [1]- https:&#
