2 factor authentication via app/texting I’d imagine.
An authenticator app is better than basically anything but a physical token / key generator, but the apps are more universally supported. No one is probably going to spoof your phone number to get into your accounts… But doesn’t hurt to me more secure about it anyway.
They keep refering to them as “undocumented cellular radios”, which either means they have no idea what they’re talking about (very probable) or that they’re concerned it’s getting on the Internet. In theory, decades from now they could maybe all turn off simultaneously and cause a noticeable lack of power. I guess.
Mostly, it’s very frustrating that the articles are all about what inverters and batteries are and that the US doesn’t trust China, instead of what the things they say they found actually fucking are.
Yes, but littering used to be a legitimately big problem to. Like the hole in the ozone, now that it’s “solved”/ the norm for it to be getting better the focus should shift to other things.
I mess with SC and S42 every few years, have access from the kickstarter from way back when.
They’re fine. They’re even neat. But Elite Dangerous gives 90% of what their original promises were and has much more demonstrable development progress. Planetary systems without a loading screen is not as impressive as it was in the early 2010s. Kerbal Space Program was created and died since then.
If you have to have someone enforce the land registry or the documents, what is the benefit of the database being zero trust?
A problem with AAA games is the development time is longer, the time spent working on the final game is not.
Time and time again when a game as been “in development” for 5/7/10+ years, the game that shipped was only really being worked on for the last year or two, once they finally got the design and gameplay nailed down and worked on the final game. Anthem is one of the more egregious examples in that some of the developers working on the game learned at the E3 presentation a year before launch that the game involved flying.
There’s an iceberg of effort and only a fraction of it gets released.
Google Glass purposefully made it obvious what they were. The newer glasses without cameras from Meta et al basically look like regular glasses if you can’t see the waveguide in the lenses.
German copyright laws?
Who knows.
Special relativity was a niche branch of interest until we needed to correct for time signal differences between moving satellites. Quantum mechanical understanding of electrons was a weird quirk of math until they used electron buckets to make SSDs.
Publically funded general research leads to unexpected uses.
It doesn’t stop being magic just because you know how it’s done.

Just looked up the episode (2015, Ep8). (also some cool U2 stuff)
They’re investigating whether it would be deadly by cutting through your neck. Drone tech has also changed significantly in the last decade. They literally have trouble flying straight and level and hitting the neck of their dummy. But their main problem is the drone hits something and falls away. They put the same smaller prop on a stick and saw into a plucked chicken. Their bigger one did actually slice the neck open before falling away.
Modern drones have much more powerful motors. From personal experience even the folding blades will give you at least surface cuts. Do not randomly assume they will not cut you, especially if you grab them.
I spent a ton of time on LotR II and it’s expansion. I distinctly remember finding the box for 3 a few years later and just being confused that they didn’t seem to know what was good about their game.
Had a complicated time trying to get 2 running a few years ago, I think I ended up setting up a Win95 VM specifically for it. But now it looks like they’re just on GoG and Steam. Might have to grab it there.
I find it so incredibly frustrating that we’ve gotten to the point where the “marketing guys” are not only in charge, but are believed without question, that what they say is true until proven otherwise.
“AI” becoming the colloquial term for LLMs and them being treated as a flawed intelligence instead of interesting generative constructs is purely in service of people selling them as such. And it’s maddening. Because they’re worthless for that purpose.
Wasn’t there something with the original switch where third-party usb-c didn’t work with it off the bat either? I thought it ended up being something about Nintendo actually following the spec more rigidly than others did.
You’d need to rollback the last 70 years of pensions being replaced by 401k plans and/or limit responsibility to the brokers. If you hire a licensed plumber that ends up flooding your neighbor’s place, the plumber is the one getting sued.
It would probably also be good to restructure retirement incentives away from the stock market, but that’s not going to happen overnight either.
Have also been out of the loop too but went through the know your meme page.
Pirate Software made a video a year ago criticizing the initiative on a very surface level and has continued to do so in streams. Guy who created/sponsored/however-that-works the initiative posted a counter-argument video talking about what the initiative would actually do. Pirate Software did the ol’ Internet Doubledown and in general was kind of an ass and kind of revealed some ignorance. Cue Youtube Drama.
Lifeguards take breaks every ~20 minutes, not just to look down or zone out, to get up and move around. And again, are in an extremely controlled environment looking for a very small number of specific problems.
Elon is making programmers sleep at their desks.
Lifeguards have very short periods of diligence before they take mandatory breaks in an extremely controlled environment. Train conductors operate on grade separated infrastructure. Security Guards do not have to take split second action or die.
Putting a warm body in a mind-numbing situation and requiring split second response to a life or death situation at a random time is a recipe for failure.
Duck Season is pretty fun too FWIW.
In that case you’re going from, for example 50% and 50% to 49% and 51%.
If you just have 100 people in a room divided evenly, and one person crosses the line in the middle, one side of the room has +1 person and the other is side has -1 person. There’s a 2 person (2%) difference.
