  1. Re:Not sure this is /. material on Has Video Refereeing Ruined The World Cup? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    currently the referree has to ASK for VAR

    The referee has an earpiece (and a mic), and gets suggestions from the VAR team.

    In football it’s so easy to waste time while winning, the referee has to be given the right to lenghen the game à discretion.

    So you’re saying if team A really harms a player of team B, not only he’s injured, but the guys is also punished by being removed from the set for X minutes...
    Not an easy call, as, sometimes, the down player is not acting, and it’s hard to assess the difference between real and acting.

    In peace time you brag about your superiority. In war time you use it as a surprise.

    Hmm, in this case we're talking about amazingly innovative and ultra scientifically challenging weaponry. A "we did it" show off gives the other parties a huge clue: it's possible then, feasible using today's technos, let's do it!

  7. And, the price? on Adobe To Launch Photoshop for iPad in Strategy Shift (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    How much would that be on an iPad? I mean, is that price reasonable? The desktop version is still awful expensive ; ok the soft delivers, but seriously there are amazing pieces of software from Apple which price went down crazy a few years ago ( or even free ).

    And yes, indeed, GIMP is a viable alternative.

    If China or Russia identifies all US ICBM launch sites, and submarines, aircraft carriers... they then perform an simultaneous attack on all of that - ok a few might escape, and China might lose a few million people, but they would win. No?

  11. Relevancy on China's Quantum Radar Could Detect Stealth Planes, Missiles (popsci.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why would China brag about this new advanced technology, telling the world that a "quantum radar" is indeed possible? To mislead westerners? If they really achieved such amazing military weaponry success, wouldn't they better keep silent? Or maybe China is simply aware of their superiority in quantum fields, which is more worrying..

  12. why Tim Cook is so crazy about dongles.

    Cook is convinced Jobs' design genius is limited to having as few ports as possible.

    Chrome takes what it can to make the browsing experience faster and more optimized. Give it only 4GB and it works sensibly the same.
