  • Imagine if your connection history got leaked by this.

  • Why does dropbox have the ability to see your files at all? That seems like a pretty bad security flaw in the first place.

  • Damn, I was going to post this list, you beat me to it though.

    I love that whole maths group, Brady Haran, Matt Parker, Hannah Fry, James Grimes, Ben Sparks, Ayliean MacDonald... (and so many more.)

    As soon as I get a notification that a new Numberphile video drops, I'm watching it ASAP.

  • Ehhh.... I wouldn't go so far as to call him apolitical. I used to watch his stuff, but he's drifted pretty right over the years. His stuff used to be pretty neutral, but since he started his book publishing, and the WWSD rifle project, he's just been slipping right wing stuff into his content.

    It doesn't show up in the mainline informational videos too much, but his ad pushes and his side projects, which also show up on his main youtube channel, definitely have slid downhill.

  • Imagine buying an extremely expensive luxury vehicle, whose features are completely at the whim of some thin skinned billionaire.

    Just remotely turning on and off different things in your car depending on who pissed him off, or pandered to him, that week.

  • Because requiring blond hair and blue eyes would, by definition, exclude people based on race.

  • Just about any dog can do it, as long as you can find a good reward system for the dog. Mine loves playing fetch, so once we find the person we're looking for, that person gives her lots of attention and fetch play.

    It took a lot of work, and a lot of help from other people, but she's really good at it now.

  • Biggest problem is that they cheap out on the tech parts. Nobody complains that an iPad has a touch screen, cause it works. But an appliance tends to have a crappy UI, running on a crappy touch screen, powered by a crappy CPU.

    If they just used quality parts, it'd probably be fine, and the only issue would be expensive replacement for an entire assembly, instead of small, cheap parts that can be fixed.

  • Tracking lost humans

    Taught my dog to smell a clothing item, and she can distinguish the right person and follow the footfalls that person walked. She is pretty reliable up to about 18-36 hours old depending on weather conditions.

  • Because it's a prescription medication, just like any other. It's far more convenient to pick up prescription just like you do any other.

    There will be far fewer dispensaries than pharmacies, so less choice, more driving, and worse hours.

  • Not a lot of reporting in that article. Doesn't say if older americans are working because they don't want to retire, can't retire, or don't have anything else to do.

    Based on the other recent article saying suicides are up among older men, I'd venture to guess that older americans are working more because that's all they do, few hobbies, few close friends, few close relatives.

  • Maybe add "that can be understood by most experts in the relevant field of study living today" to those questions, cause you might get something incomprehensible in the response.

  • Those details need to be held by a 3rd party though, because if the company goes under, then the code and any critical information may become lost. Executives, employees, and other people might be fired or jump ship prior to any trigger points, so there could be no one that can be held accountable.

    The FDA should hold everything necessary in escrow in perpetuity.

  • Sounds like FDA approval requires holding all details of the technology, including all source code, in escrow.

    If the company ever stops supporting the product, for any reason at all, all of the details become public property.

  • If you use birdshot, or any target shot, the individual pellets don't have enough mass to really do anything, even at terminal velocity. Heck, Dick Cheney shot someone in the face at point blank range with it, and they we able to get on a podium and apologize to Cheney shortly afterwards.

    Slugs are a different story. Not sure about larger buck shot, some of those can be as heavy as a pistol round, but not really aerodynamic.

  • It's perfectly fine as long as centaurs are sentient.

    It's not wrong as long as everyone can properly consent, have a full understanding of the situation, and there's no coercion.

  • Don't promote this shit. A shooter's blog shouldn't be paraded around like a novelty.

  • Yeah, depending on what you use SSH for, the top two pictures are switched.

  • That's literally why they said they don't connect them to the Internet. Just get a separate streaming service and forget about updates or internal software.
