Speaking of things I wish were real, whatever happened to the DNA-based computer I was promised 30 years ago? Or the memristors that would allow instantly booting back to the state my computer was in when I turned it off last night?

I advise against selling your collection. I sold almost all of my vinyl in the late 80s and really regret it. Also, one of my favorite vinyl albums ever was a cutout Flying Lizards record that I got for a dollar at some very un-hip store. P

Apparently the 'hacker' himself revealed he had an easy password, not the FBI. What does he gain by making himself look stupid? Have they released him from prison early?

"Accountability" used to be the job of the Fourth Estate, at least ostensibly, but they abandoned that job no later than the 80s, and now need to be held accountable themselves, since they're manifestly incapable of self-poli

So, and really just for the sake of argument, if we could look at the sun with one of its poles at the center, it would still be elliptical? Or if we could somehow see cross-sections of atoms are elliptical and not circular too? If so, how

I'm not at all convinced that sperm banks have procedures that are in any sense "rigorous." For example, there's a Dutch man who fathered 200 children through a sperm bank. https://www.theguardian.com/sci
