Nope. It's basically forgotten. At least, I haven't heard anyone talking about it, either in my circles or in the media.

Thanks for the explanation, it was very clear. Especially the bit about never being able to see your own private key. Ok I get it, it's to prevent malware from doing the same, but …

In my limited understanding, they are similar to SSH public/private key pairs. But the details continue to elude me, no matter how much I read about them. Won't try them out until …

It's quite difficult with current rocket technology: you have to counteract most of the Earth-given 30km/s speed around the Sun in order to get close (it's smaller than Mercury's o…

7.2 grams a day is still a lot. Low-sodium diets aim for less than 3 grams a day, and it is not that difficult to go even lower. Whether a near-zero sodium intake is good or not, i…

Well, at least they don't sell seed oil :)

The ring is not a product of the supernova. It's pre-existing material, that is being energized by impact of the supernova ejecta (it took a few months for it to start brightening)…

It's a limitation of the Falcon Heavy, the launcher used this time. A future, more powerful one could do it while being reusable.

It goes on until an Earth's day is as long as a month. Both will face each other in a fixed way. But it takes many billions of years and the Sun will burn both to a cinder much bef…

It's not so uncommon in science to come to a strange conclusion by excluding all "reasonable" alternatives. For example, black holes have a similar status: no one has conclusively …

I am in Italy as well and the link works fine.

The day your wish is fullfilled is the day I stop working with Python. I can't stand all those useless braces everywhere, why are they there at all since good practice mandates pro…

Not just the Netherlands, most of Europe counts floors like this: ground, first, second, etc.

Look for the Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum, it uses exactly that metric.

Depends. For example cupy ( https://github.com/cupy/cupy ) is developed by a Japanese company and I find it extremely effective.

Mmmhh, not sure about that. Most people, even if not reaching high speeds, can still go substantially faster on a bike than running. Even grandmas, it's all relative. People like B…

Most people won't be able to even reach 27.8 mph on a bike, you need a decent road bike and some training.

If you own enough of these automated factories, you don't need to sell anything at all. Just produce whatever luxury item you want, in addition to mundane things like food and shel…

Please do share! Often those are the most interesting ones :)
