I sort of looked into Etherium, and I'm an expert on bitcoins, and their website's marketing fluff bullshit sounded an awful lot like it's bitcoin but run by 1 giant central company and they're downplaying that fact and outright lying about it. Does that accurately sum it up or am I missing something?
When I looked up what ME was when it was invented it basically said it can do stuff while your computer is off. I thought "well that's exploitable and besides that, very suspicious." Now fast forward and people finally caught on. If this hits the news media that a computer can be permanently hackable and even while in sleep mode, every last consumer is rushing out to get AMD-based systems. Corporations will too! They don't want their data secretly stolen past their OS's anti-malware suites. Intel might as well have mailed a check for 5 billion dollars over to AMD and after the BS in their pricing lately and monopoly abuse and dishonest product naming, they deserve it.

Okay it's not really the Omega molecule from Star Trek Voyager but it's possible that interstellar travel via spacial warping has like a 99% chance of destroying the planet or pushing it out or orbit or something. That or the energy required is so dangerous, it could blow up a planet, which current math suggests is very plausible. So eventually all aliens blow themselves up via common technologies based on similar physics of how the universe works in all cases.
Why are people still complaining about random numbers? Over 10 years ago I saw a documentary that showed off a quantum photon splitter PCI card that could go in any computer. The API let you generate random numbers based on splitting photons left or right and it was deemed closer to 50% each side than any other randomizing system ever invented. So...what happened to that? Doing quantum tasks with photons is actually relatively easy so the story was believable. I can't think of a better way in the physical universe to generate random numbers. So besides the problem of requiring volunteers running relays to have one of these custom piece of hardware, why don't they attempt to use this solution?
In some applications, density is good. In most others, amount of space isn't the barrier. It's the upfront cost of the solar panels. What they SHOULD be looking for are ways to lower the costs of making pretty good solar panels. That would actually help the planet and actually improve adoption rates of solar electric systems.
Hey guys, remember when HP's webcam face login software refused to recognize black people as people?
THAT is an actual racist feature that failed to get through testing. This is not! No matter what skin color you have, certain portions of your face look better with a lighter contrast. Otherwise your face looks flat.
Fans: we're sick of this futuristic crap, jumping off walls, etc
Infinity Ward: Hey look, it's super cool spaceships! We thought spaceships were cool so we made them.
Fans: *DISLIKE*
That is the best summary of what happens.
Oh no! Italians doing math?! They're only supposed to cook pasta and things. That's definitely out of character if you base it solely on cartoonish stereotypes.
I don't think anyone still sells brand new 2GB sticks plus 2GB + formatting = less than 2GB. Basing it on optical storage is the only thing that makes sense as a limit that has actual logic instead of arbitrary numbers.
This is a PSA completely unrelated to the article and for educational purposes only.
You can painlessley sand off your fingerprints in about 3 minutes. What are they going to do if you literally do not have fingerprints? Okay so you can't unlock your phone normally either then anyway but I think Slashdot people are smart enough to not use pathetic attempts at biometrics.
This sounds like a Mac and I have no idea how they operate but I'll say it anyway. So they couldn't find ANYTHING in his thumbnail cache, file-open history, file search history, etc? So in other words he's not guilty. It never comes down to just encrypted drives. There is ALWAYS other evidence.
I finally got a tablet a while back and I was looking for just 1 single classic turn-based swords and spells RPG. There are approximately zero that aren't MMOs. I just want an Exile 3: Ruined World or Zelda or Crusaders of Might and Magic or Phantasy Star 3: Generations of Doom but there's just plain nothing. I feel like besides the artwork and sound, I could make a game like that in about a month myself because of the modern IDE's for making android games compared to the 1990's when these games were big. Yet nobody has done it. It's the same mystery as why not 1 single company makes brand new 5.25" floppy disks. There's a demand and a complete hole in the market and they wouldn't be that hard to produce. Where's the offline RPGs, people? It's all just a micro-transaction math equation on rails.
I always pictured a singularity as "large enough to exist but infinitely small otherwise" and left it at that. It makes sense because there's a popular theory that a black hole can spin faster than the speed of light because it has no measurable radius but does have "a" radius. Of course I completely made that infinitely small part up on my own and have no idea if anyone else also thinks that. Then people are saying it's like 1.000001x the width of a neutron or quark or something. That sounds outdated and wrong by now though. Then people said it has the radius of the plank length, which sort of makes sense. I think it could have just transcended the first 3 dimensions and is so far into another dimension that it no longer has width or length. That makes the most sense.
Oh look, all the foreign companies are lying about fuel efficiency to look better and sell product and bring honor to their families. Ever wonder why a lot of foreign company have "better" test scores on standardized tests and it makes the US appear to be ranked 40th or whatever? I'll give you a hint. It starts with "cheat" and ends with "ing."
How about I do my job for a predictable expense to the accounting department for an agreed upon amount of money and if there's less work I leave early and if there's more i leave later like a normal IT manager.
Btw I actually quit to run a computer repair store like half a year ago but still.
If the mass completely leaves the universe for another universe, why would the gravity be left behind? Also we still can't retrieve the information about the matter that entered without leaving this universe. Also, black holes from other universes should perhaps then spew random massive particles into our universe somewhere and we wouldn't be able to use its vector to determine where it came from AND it would start interacting with matter in our universe which would mess with the back-tracking of information on movement. So much for information preservation.
There are a finite number of atomic particles on the universe. To make a universe simulation in ours, every atom would have to have multiple transistors inside a CPU and storage medium like RAM to describe and calculate its position, velocity, etc so we could never make a universe simulation the same size as ours because there aren't enough atoms in the universe the make transistors. So every universe would be significantly smaller than the one before it until one is the size of World of Warcraft or something and it can't be any simpler of a simulation.
If you put a thingy on a pivot inside a vacuum and one side of the thingy is white and the other is black, light will spin it. How is this new? I think my uncle has one of those solar spinning things on his desk at work.

I shared this news story on Facebook just to be ironic.
If only they had some sort of video evidence of his actual donation live and in realtime...and full HD 60FPS. OH WAIT.
They need a speaker near the front grille that screams "THE LIGHT IS GREEN, ASSHOLE!"
It's almost like smoking nicotine products is BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH!

They completely missed out on naming it the high energy laser light optical weapon or "Hello weapon."

My v6 2000 Mercury Cougar got 42MPG behind a semi at 58 MPH :P They haven't improved fuel efficient in 16 years over a V6 sports car, lol.
