So, optical illusions fool a driver. They just fund a kind that fools a digital driver. Film at 11
Because machines "think" very differently from people, the optical illusions will be very different. No surprise there,
Next we'll get a headline that if you put a number sticker over speed limit signs, human drivers can be tricked into driving at the wrong speed - even though very clearly the stickers have the wrong UV patterns and react to LIDAR clearly in an altered way.
Curious how much wind/rain/snow/hail a drone could handle. In calm, warm weather a drone performs just fine. Any gusting of wind and a light weight drone goes tumbling.
Y'all seem to have forgotten The Mouse owns Star Wars too. They have a LOT of brands under their control.
I'm sure their own dedicated streaming service sounds like a good idea to them, but in the end I think it's going to hurt their brand. Just look at what CBS has done to Star Trek by limiting streaming access.
If it's a BIP39 seed, it's a list of 12 randomly chosen, common words. A typo in the spelling of any of those words means it's not a valid seed-word. I can see someone thinking that checking the spelling of a word isn't a security issue, but do it 12 times in a row, and you've leaked the root key for a BTC HD wallet.
Wait - tell me more. Have any links to this kind of service?
I know of an old family history book that was put through a vanity publisher. I've been trying to track down a copy for a decade. Amazon says it exists, about the only online presence. One of these days I'll get my hands on a copy, and once I do, I want to get it online for future generations. The author is a direct descendant of mine, and I know that nobody has or cares about the rights. It's public domain now .
The question then is, what's the best way to have it scanned in & searchable? Joining Google's archive is ideal.
Any options if a similarly equipped library isn't near me?
I suspect this is cultural. When you pass away, you have the opportunity to delete anything negative about yourself - for the benefit of the greater good (your family).
Sounds this may be roughly equivalent to western debt collection. If a single uncle passes away eyeballs deep in debt, the debt goes away. It doesn't affect me once he's dead.
I think the problem here is analogous to using a MAC address vs a DNS address.
Most mail is intended to go to a person, but you have to send it to a place. Hence mail forwarding. The address is the last known location of a person. If the person changed location (changed MAC/IP), you want to find out where the new place of that person is (fresh DNS address).
A unique barcode could identify a person (think SSN or the like), and the database has the most current address for that person, if the first try fails.
Sounds like the guy invented DNS for people, to get mail (packets) to the right destination.
In my experience, most low cost items are cheap foreign imports. Think plastic crap from Amazon or Wallmart. Even cheap food is imported. Only the people with money can afford the good, local stuff.
People for & against UBI have a lot of arguments, but claiming it would reduce unemployment is a new one on me.
The study here seems to say that UBI has no measurable impact on unemploment, and a very very real impact on government spending.

I get all that for free now (G Mail & Google Calendar), using a version of office I bought nearly a decade ago. Tell me again what 10 years of payments is costing? I'm not seeing *any* benefits to using a subscription model.
Plus I'm not hanging under a "read-only" sword of Damocles, should my credit card hickup.
To me, this is like buying a car vs leasing. I'd rather pay off my car and drive it 5-10 more years with no payment. If you want to have a new car smell every 2 years, (and worry about excess mileage on road trips) - go ahead and pay more. Just don't tell me it's cheaper.
You didn't read my post, and you're stuck on but one of many meanings of "Dark".
If you take definition #4 from the link I posted, "not known or explored because of remoteness" - it's perfectly valid. The non-Earth facing side of the moon is indeed not explored. That's the whole point of the article - this is the very first lander on the far side.
The far side is indeed the dark side - in that it's far away from us and unexplored. Obviously it gets sunlight.
My post was to point out that you're missing a very common definition of "dark", and you're stuck on but one shade of meaning. It's like saying that Darth Vader never steps into lit rooms because he uses the Dark Side of The Force. It's a different, valid, meaning of "dark".

From personal experience: one employer offered a 4x10 week for better "work/life balance". My local manager saw that and said, essentially, "oh, so you can work 10hr days. We need you in on Friday too."
Has your burn in ever found something that worked fine at first power on, and was dead after 24hrs?
The idea seems good, but I'm skeptical. I'd think that that anything leaving a factory after their testing, wouldn't benefit from anything more than a smoke test.

Too late.
Where is your E-Mail? Not many regular users have full POP clients anymore.
That just one example.

Old incandescent bulbs waste power, switch to LED.
LED bulbs die quickly, so leave them on all day.
Brilliant! What will our wise government overlords think of next!

Time. Handing, counting, safe movement in/out, depositing cash takes employee time.
Theft. Cash is far easier to steal then credit card fraud. Especially when a clerk "forgets" to enter a transaction into the register.
Speed of transactions. A good credit card system is faster than an employee counting change and making change.
Automation. Kiosk checkout systems are a lot simpler when they are card only.

One meaning of "dark", when referencing places, is "not known or explored because of remoteness".

I suspect "Norway" isn't the problem, but more of "not USA" or "Not North America"

I read that line, and thought - I'm sure those words have meaning to someone, somewhere.

>You Musk fanboys are nuts. SpaceX just launches satellites. It doesn't do a hundredth of what NASA does.
SpaceX can do what NASA can't.
SpaceX can do what NASA used to be able to do, for a tiny fraction of what it used to cost NASA.
You're right. It's nuts to hire someone who can do something you can't do, faster and cheaper than anyone else. What madness.
