She expected it to retrieve the URL to her own device, but it also sent it to the company that makes the app. That like if Chrome sent Google a list of all URLs you visit, people would definitely be angry about that.

Surely you don't need any conspiracy for the US to charge him at the same time as the Swedish prosecutor drops charges? That can be done unilaterally by the US prosecutor.

People have been talking about this since at least the 1970s, but no existing reactors have high enough temperatures. There are various concepts on paper that could do it. https://world-nuclear.org/Information-Library/N

There is a law about "artificial or prerecorded voice messages", the law was written in 1991 before modern voice generation programs so it might be unclear if it applies to them, the commission now declared that it does. This is o

The ruling is to treat calls with AI-generated voices the same as other robocalls, which are already illegal.

Two orders of magnitude. (Currently they input 300 MJ of electricity and get 4 MJ of fusion.) The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory director says it could be done in "probably decades — not six decades, I don’t think, not five dec

It's not "of course", if there is no 5th amendment protection then you can be forced to give the passcode. The New Jersey case the article mentions is about exactly that. [ https://law.justia.com/cases/new

Apparently the spike in cases in due to engineered stone. The FAQ gives various reasons why this may be the case, e.g. the generated particle size is different, and also it is easier to cut than natural stone so it may be processed by less

This is often talked about in the case of Air Force One (which is supposed to be able to keep flying in case of a nuclear war, so that the president can survive and order the military). The limiting factor is probably engine oil, e.g. this

Ok, but now you are making a completely different claim! You started out saying, "oh, these lecture requires some advanced math background to understand", and quoted the curry function. And then a lot of people explained that no,

It's not any kind of advanced math at all! The quoted fragment above is just a line of computer code. Anyone who has done any programming in any typed language should be easily able to understand it, though they may need to look up the

I believe the meaning is that the land company wanted water to prevent the spread of fire, and the DLNR delayed. From the rest of the article, the delay was because farms downstream had the right to use the water for agriculture.

The 1.3 GJ is how much electricity they put in. There is no fusion reaction or energy production, it's just an experimental device to study plasma containment.

U.S. public libraries do not give any royalties to the author when lending physical books, so in that sense "borrowing" the book from the Archive is not different than borrowing it from a library. There is indeed a trend of treati

If you click on the picture it says it's the Kola nuclear power plant, which is a VVER-440 reactor. Searching for other VVER pictures, e.g.[1], confirms that they match. [1] http://www.nucleartourist.com/areas/vver

This is kind of silly. Yes, nuclear is more expensive than wind, but this is irrelevant because (as the article also acknowledges) you can't replace nuclear with wind, you need something that works when the wind is not blowing. Rather,
