This is a really interesting article, thanks for sharing it. Whether the tic-tacs are Chinese, American, or alien, this just seems to add the the evidence that they are real, and the public nature of the patent application seems to fit within the narrative of a managed disclosure.

Sounds spiffy. Also, I must find time to learn Julia. One problem with these 'out of a box' cookbook systems is that you only know approximately what you are doing. If it works, that may be fine, but for statistical systems the outcome depends heavily on the formulation, is strongly influence by random or irrational correlations and is more art than science. If you remove the element of experience that animates the "art", you get nonsense. Big box programming tools can make it hard to know what correlations are being established, and this is true with even simple neural networks. By the time they have many layers and filters in them, all hope is fled. You buy the result or you don't: simple as that.

That foam model is just gorgeous!

So does it's general public.

Social time, no go back to your roommate filled apartment with an one & half hour commute one way to work to be downsized, underpaid, under trained, miss manged, and pension sold off to pay for your boss kids' toys. Why would anyone in Canada feel isolated or lonely?

Biggest take away for me was writefreely. Looks like a viable simpler alternative to WordPress, I will definitely give it a try.

Why are they even keeping years of call records? This strikes me as something that should be deleted after the current billing cycle (plus a delay for complaints, say 12 months). This kind of just-in-case or I-don't-want-to-push-the-button retention of data should hopefully be given some disincentives by GDPR but there is still a hell of a lot too much of it going on. Storage is cheap doesn't mean keep everything forever, especially potentially sensitive personal data.

"(Is it possible the future will become a refuge for the rich, who experience life as a sequence of exquisite events and who might not understand the concept of entropy as relief or escape?)" Can physically and emotionally healthy people actually view death as a relief or escape? This idea seems completely insane to me. As an aside, people who want to die shouldn't/won't be forced to use longevity enhancing therapies to live longer, but I really think some psychological care should be considered for anyone refusing them.

Jesus, TheFloW is an actual, real life wizard.

LOL! Trusting NSA for UEFI code is like.... I hope cryptographers and hackers better than what NSA has go through that code with a fine toothed comb.

First a samsung phone and now this.
