Every operation your computer does. From displaying images on a screen to securely connecting to your bank.
It’s an interesting advancement and it will be neat if something comes of it down the line. The chances of it having a meaningful product in the next decade is close to zero.
Even if quantum computing turns out to actually be infeasible and classical cryptography is secure for the next millennia, it’s still a good feature to have a third independent encryption layer in the protocol. It makes it that much less likely reliant on the other two being bulletproof.
I believe that supposed to be whether you can get to their website to download clients / register / etc through TOR. Not that the VPN can access the TOR network.
The Commonwealth Saga is so great.
The portals / train system brings the vibes of the commonwealth up to something like the EU, but on a multi-planetary scale. You have to go through specific points to get planet to planet but the infrastructure is so built up that it’s mostly a travel time problem. It becomes an issue later on that the society has gotten kind of hidebound into a gradual expansion so they never really ‘needed’ FTL for exploration, and now they do.
Some very few do, not sure if they’re in China though.
“Windfarms hurt birds” is 90+% fossil fuel propaganda though. Yes birds run into windmills, they also run into skyscrapers and houses and antennas and planes.
We should of course look for ways to mitigate that. We should not just pretend smokestacks do no harm and not develop renewable energy projects.
Dogs are significantly more subjective. And there’s a noticeable correlation with dogs trying to please their handler by indicating someone the handler is suspicious of.
Nothing is foolproof and its good to have more tools in the kit.
This kind of fundamental university based research is about to get a whole lot rarer in the US and that’s not great.
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.
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.
If you have to have someone enforce the land registry or the documents, what is the benefit of the database being zero trust?
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.

In addition to the script you have a configuration file that defines what, when, and how. Each script has it’s own config file instead of a ‘config line’ in /etc/inittab.
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.
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.
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.
Expecting people to be able to behave like machines is generally the attitude that leads to crash investigations.
I’d settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.
