  1. Lee spent way less energy than the data center on Google's AlphaGo Beats Lee Se-dol In the First Match (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Lee spent a lot less energy than the data center that powered AlphaGo. Even if lee burned 3000 calories in 3.5 hours, that would only be around 3.4 kilo watt hour. AlphaGo's energy usage would be in the tens (or hundreds?) of "mega" watt hour.

  2. WA State will coal-free by 2025 - way ahead of OR on Oregon Set To Become First Coal-Free State (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    If Oregon will be coal-free by 2035, then Washington state will be way ahead by being coal-free by 2025. There is only one coal-fed electric facility in Washington state. It has two boilers. The first will be shutdown in 2020 and the second will be shutdown in 2025. Oregon will not be the first state to go coal-free.

  3. Because we try to water what is naturally dry on Western US States Using Up Ground Water At an Alarming Rate · · Score: 1

    We call these places deserts for a reason.

  4. Afro-American on Black Holes Not Black After All, Theorize Physicists · · Score: 1

    To be politically correct, you can't use the 'B' word.

  5. Compared to Bionic on GNU C Library Alternative Musl Libc Hits 1.0 Milestone · · Score: 1

    I wonder how small Musl is in comparison to Bionic which is really, really small.

  6. Not just a single target on Russian State TV Anchor: Russia Could Turn US To "Radioactive Ash" · · Score: 1

    The U.S. is not a single target. The nuclear strike capabilities of the U.S. are scattered all over Europe and major oceans (roaming submarines). There is also a good likelihood that Canada, France and the UK will strike Russia anticipating that they could be next.

  7. Many small, or a few big on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    One option is to store you files are metada to a huge number of "small" jpegs. You can also use steganography if you like. Then, upload them to sites that allow for unlimited number of pictues (facebook, picasa, etc). Or simply get five 4TB HDs ($165 each).

  8. I "could of" known that. on NSF Report Flawed; Americans Do Not Believe Astrology Is Scientific · · Score: 1

    Said most of the respondents.

  9. No option for Ginormous, so, neither. on Facebook Debuts New Gender Options, Pronoun Choices · · Score: 1

    Since there is no option for "Ginormous", I ended-up picking "Neither."

  10. Plausible deniability on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 1

    This is one example where you need a security method that allows for plausible deniability. Trucrypt, for example, has an option to create a hidden volume. You can give up the password for the default volume, but no one will be able to tell that there is an inner (hidden volume) which requires another password.

  11. Distributed keys on Ask Slashdot: How To Protect Your Passwords From Amnesia? · · Score: 1

    This is how I will do it. I will split the key into multiple pieces. I will give the pieces to different persons. These persons must not know each other. The will also not know that they only hold a portion of the key (they will think that they have the entire key). I will also instruct them that in the event that I lose my memory, they should remind me of the key. Since I will get multiple key pieces, I will have a clue that the keys need to be combined. One variation of this is to have a safe, inside a safe, inside a safe. I then have multiple keys to these safes. I will hand copies of the keys to different persons. Again, these persons must not know each other. They must not have physical access to the safes. I will tell them to hand me back the keys in the event that I lose my memory. They should remind me that it is for a particular safe in my house. It is important that the persons that I hand the keys to must not know each other. That way, if anyone tries to break in to my house to gain physical access to the safe, they will not be able to get to the passwords without the other keys.

  12. The best password is: "incorrect" on Ask Slashdot: How To Protect Your Passwords From Amnesia? · · Score: 1

    Whenever I type the wrong password, sites tell me what my password is. They prompt me that my password, is, "incorrect." Seriously though, bio-metric identification maybe the best solution.
