Good to know there's a definite measure for that.

I for one liked it.

I sometimes wonder if there's an evolutionary purpose to our conscious self not being able to control some subconscious and physical processes.

Fortunately, they'll never happen. How are you supposed to get your connecting regional train if it doesn't stop at the same station? And it's often a huge advantage of rail that your journey starts and ends near the city center.

Probably true, but I suppose it's some sort of cognitive bias rather than a conscious thought out of greed or similar motives.

A restaurant or company could use its own scanner app to save the data, but I assume this would be illegal

I once wrote a brainfuck interpreter in Haskell which executes even incomplete programs as far as possible. It was really easy thanks to streaming ByteStrings and lazyness in general.

I'm somehow afraid of a world in which huge amounts of energy can be wasted without having a bad conscience. Probably it would lead to some new problems.

Would a transparent HTTPS proxy be able to intercept traffic (once you install the certificate on the phone), or are the certificates pinned?

How are rootkits possible in Fuchsia? IIUC, drivers run in user space, don't they?

FWIW Celsius and Kelvin have the same scale, they're just shifted.

What if the world is just a dream? Then an individual person's consciousness has a massive influence on the weather. And there would be new arguments for the existence of God.

- Is the lamp still on while blinking? - Is the sun still shining during a nap? - Is the fridge's light still on while it's closed? - Does God exist?

Some fundamental questions, but we'll never be able to find an answer.
