Here's an interesting lecture on the same subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_sgFETJzak A lot of hypothesis and speculation in this, but nevertheless very intriguing. One thing that caught my attention is how th

That sounds most plausible. After they bloom and all die, the first generation of new plants to grow will then start the 130 year clock again (by counting days or seasons) and be the first to release the signal again.

That's a bit naive I think. First it wouldn't be very effective, banks are banks, that is their expertise, just because there's a reward doesn't turn bankers into policeman that will detect and act on money laundering. T

Very sad day. Remember this all started with the leak of the "Collateral murder" video. That's when the Interpol notice went out, and he had to seek asylum at the embassy. It was already quite disgusting how powerful entities

I don't think VR utopia is going to start anytime soon (that will be a slow generational shift), but VR already has sparked the interest of a lot of consumers, that are holding of for now. I wouldn't be surprised though, if one of

Doesn't it all come down to: Coming up, and being able to make, something useful, that people actually want? Robots have an incredible potential to be helpful for us, but just looking at that social-media Jibo robot, I'm not reall

Last startup I've been part of, we've been having a bit of fun building our server architecture in Swift and so far the One-Binary-Many-Services model has been working out pretty well. You can run it all on single machine, you can

The EU has generally been a really positive force when it comes to consumer rights, but I'm not a fan of this either. The question I have is, what did web company do to deserve this kind of regulation? It is quite unusual to see govern

How do you not lose patience? Oh boy, this is a deep topic, but generally speaking you have to come to the realization, that losing patience is almost never in your own interest. When you are faced with incompetence or laziness, or being ac

I found adopting a functional reactive programming really works well for multithreaded systems. GCD is super great and I use it a lot (...if you had to extend AsyncTask recently: my condolences), but it doesn't safeguard you from race

Mid 2012 MBP seems to be really popular. Thing just lasts forever. Especially if you have i7 + 16 GB RAM configuration, then there's still not much reason to buy a MBP right now. $3000 for the privilege to carry around USB dongles, no

I'm no expert, but I think weed definitely promotes psychotic thoughts. More so, the stronger the THC content, and the longer and frequent the use of it. In very rare cases this can trigger Psychosis, but in most people it will not. Ra

How about some more sensors. No phone can tell me the temperature, without checking weather online. What if I want to know the room temperature. Could put humidity, atmospheric pressure sensors in there too, IR cameras, all kinds of cool st

Big reason for this is probably pricing. Adobe's subscription model is hard on startups, small companies & especially individuals, so people naturally look at alternatives. And then they realize that Photoshop isn't quite the

> more productive for you to hold another meeting Are you serious? These are just 2 neat ways for expressing common boundaries conditions. The point is it's more readable instead of using '>'. That is all.

I'm not a fan of Dart either, but common JavaScript/TypeScript isn't exactly the holy grail either. JS is basically unusable due to, well lack of types, and TypeScript hacks them into it by hugely increasing complexity of eve

Nice to see some resistance to the 30% cuts, with Apple recently having to deal with a lawsuit regarding the AppStore as well. Not to diminish the value of the service, but 30% for what amounts to CDN + Payment Processing, is too much. The

Is there a Facebook smear campaign going on or people just love to pile on Zuckerberg? Facebook is an advertisement company and collects data, but so does everybody else. Gmail launched in 2004. Snowden leaks in 2013 were greeted with gener

Agree with most of it, having .(unwrap)orThrow() seems nice syntax sugar though.

I'm curios about this too, does the Mac Mini offer "scaled" options, like MacBooks do with their built-in display, when connecting to an external 4k monitor? I think it does some supersampling, resulting in higher effective r

AutoLayout isn't too bad with something like SnapKit. Alternatively you can use a custom layouting implementation based on frames, like FlexLayout/PinLayout. Works well too. Storyboards? Don't use them, problem solved. Androi

You can always provide a way for the user to convert oAuth accounts into your own system. No idea why Spotify hasn't done already, this problem has existed on Spotify for many years now.

Well he made a website advertising his brand name, then went to what is essentially a fashion conference, showed up professionally, dressed as designer with cards, and they let him in? Isn't that what you expect/hope for?

Dragonflies is where its at. These guys supposedly have one of the best eye vision of all species. Now compare that thing with flying camera drones. Anything we can build is so much inferior to what a Dragonfly can do.

Format C: heh. No seriously the old Windows meme of "do a reinstall" has slowly but surely been creeping into macOS. If you're running a system that's gone through 2+ major macOS updates and have problems, you should pro
