I think it's also probably an issue of trust. If someone isn't in front of you banging on their keyboard you have no assurance that they're actually doing work. The solution is rea…

No, that's why those companies have PROPOSED terminator genes. There is no commercially available product that actually contains them.

For more advanced workflows, you can use Huginn for Ruby: https://github.com/cantino/huginn or Node-RED for JavaScript (this one is backed by IBM and has a neat drag and drop UI) h…

Also you can hit the "auto" button to make the viewer follow the spaceship.

Password managers usually have a way to add serial numbers or secure notes, that's where I store mine. And you should be using a password manager anyway, if you aren't already.

It's possible to reflash the firmware in DFU mode, but it requires erasing the data on the phone. Or more technically, there's an encryption key in storage that needs to be regener…

Yes, you can only load new firmware onto the device by erasing it, which would make it pointless.

The only way to bypass the brute forcing delay would be to increase computing power, since it's a function of the encryption method used. It basically goes through a number of iter…

Nope, because everything is ultimately dependent on the hardware key in the Secure Enclave and the user's passcode, neither of which Apple has knowledge of. The FBI would be able t…

It doesn't quite work that way. The files on the device are ultimately encrypted with a dependency on both the hardware key in the Secure Enclave and the user's passcode. It's impo…

It would mean that there are a lot more black holes in our local group, which could be a little concerning. But yeah that's actually an application of LIGO once it's sensitive enou…

From what I understand, it doesn't really matter because the laser light acts as a coherent wave, so it doesn't really bounce off of individual atoms, per se. As long as the mirror…

Put another way, aside from the possible "instantaneous influence" exception above, there are no "hidden variables" or mechanisms under the surface that we just haven't figured out…

It's such a pain to process hundreds of emails in Outlook, and there's no snoozing like there is with Mailbox or Inbox.

Would you rather federal employees work in some Kafka-esque grey cinder block 1984 Ministry type building?

Because I'm sure it would hold up in court. "Your honor, my client was clearly talking about someone who isn't them." "CASE DISMISSED." cheers erupt around the courtroom

This is a pretty nice idea, but without a mobile app it would be very difficult to recommend.

Reminds me of the classic "Tulpa" creepypasta: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Tulpa

It should be noted that the negative effects were found in areas with much higher levels of fluoridation (i.e. areas of China with naturally occurring fluoride in groundwater) than…

These are fiction, but they're really enjoyable futurist sci-fi. The first one is about the singularity, and the second one is a really unique and interesting take on artificial in…

Pandas do eat some meat in the wild, they've been seen catching and eating birds and rodents.

It would take a hell of a lot of nukes to create enough energy to alter Earth's spin in any significant way. http://www.livescience.com/32120-can-a-nuclear-blast-alter-e...

"Tensor networks provide a mathematical tool capable of doing just that. In this view, space-time arises out of a series of interlinked nodes in a complex network, with individual …
