The increase in power draw is significant for a lot of applications which will make these unfeasible. That being said there are a lot more applications that could fit that within their power budget.

I suspect in the cases where the power isn't an issue it will come down to the designers choosing between the cost and space trade off where a crystal is necessary (it isn't always).
This is not something I'm worried about. Unless FTL travel is real, the amount of resources necessary to make the trip to kill off/enslave humans makes the entire effort unprofitable. Basically, if you have the ability to travel between star systems, you already have the technology to exist effectively forever in a self contained environment. You can mine asteroids/planets forever in your own solar system for effectively unlimited materials.

Here is one:

Absent any form of antenna technology we don't know about, all of these signals are going to be extremely dispersed and very near to the rate of noise, for any receiver that is even moderately far away. It is still possible to detect these signals, but only you know exactly what you are looking for. Not only the direction and frequency of the signal are needed to know, also amplitude, polarization and any form of modulation pattern. Otherwise, the signal might just be interpreted as noise.

Also 70 ly are "not even beyond our backyard" so to speak. 70 ly is such a small distance, compared to other possible distances in our galaxy. It is a far too small patch to be taken as a basis and extrapolate to the rest of the 27000 ly of galaxy ahead of the signal. Maybe the space ruffians are 80 ly away from us, or 800...

Going around the legal system is actually a big deal both for straight criminal stuff like extortion and also things that morally not too bad but where the law is a pain like raising money for ventures with less paperwork and fees or sending funds to Venezuela without the approval of its present government.
You are right, the combat is crap, durability sucks. But the 'world' is mainly what i was referring to, the visuals and journey. Not the combat.

/uodtl is right about all of those things. I admit i never actually finished BoTW but I spent 100+ hours in it, so it was worth my money. I've seen this image on r/gaming where it shows a BoTW like panoramic view, but with your pokemans. That is what everyone wants!

>For the remaining 99.99% of users, absolutely not. Chrome's appeal came from...

Bingo! Thank you for pointing this out. For those younger readers, Chrome's penetration was forceful and uninvited. A browser add-on/search hijacker/ persistant spyware known as Google Toolbar was it's predecessor project from Google. It was an epidemic across the PC landscape for half a decade and all those infected machines became Chromes initial foothold. There's plenty of positives from the project, but for Chrome to achieve browser monopoly status, user consent sure did seem to get sacrificed.
Thanks for replying!

I didn't recognize the name of Ray Dandl, so I did a little research. Apparently he was the mind behind the Elmo Bumpy Torus, a device half-way between mirror designs and a tokamak. I recall reading about it many years ago. He also seems to have had a hand in early microwave plasma heating (not sure if that is in conjunction with your other relative).

While looking around, I ran across an interesting book, "Fun in Fusion Research", by John Sheffield. It contains a bunch of interesting anecdotes, including ones about Mr. Dandl. I thought I might mention it to you in case you enjoy it.
I like antirez's "Linenoise" library. I converted it to Unicode, and gave it a multi-line editing mode with undo, visual copy and paste, edit in external editor, parenthesis matching, incomplete syntax continuation, and more. It's all in the TXR Lisp REPL.
There is consent to re-sell the data for whatever purposes to 3rd parties in a lot of privacy statements that you agree to when signing up for various apps/services. The difference with Facebook/Google is that there is massive scale involved.

An interesting solution could be to give every user a piece of FB in accordance with the volume/quality of data shared, thus enabling them to partake and profit in whatever data sharing they do!
That's fair; these should have been two separate points.
Yeah, before Chrome became popular, Firefox had close to 50% marketshare, and Firefox is a lot farther away from your typical corp than Chrome.
It might be hard for us to figure out where the signal is coming from, but an alien race that is capable of traveling between star systems shouldn't have any problem figuring it out. Frankly if such an alien race exists they already know there is life on Earth just from the changes in chemical composition of our atmosphere. They can even figure out when we discovered agriculture. In a few decades they will even know that we discovered radio communication.

> IMO, you shouldn't ask people to sort recyclable materials at home

I don't know where you are, but I think your opinion is colored by the status quo in your country. In a lot of places in Europe people do sort them, and from what I've seen they do a good job at it.

Also, sorting machines are probably not that hard, but remember that this is a low-value product. You cannot justify a lot of expense. (..unless, of course the government pays; different discussion though)
Yeah, i agree. And very succinctly put too.

> After all, modern linear algebra is a lot more than the Gaussian elimination algorithm

This is kind of my point - there actually isn't a whole lot more than Gaussian elimination at the core of linear algebra until you get to rings and modules. Of course I don't mean that in the sense that there aren't important definitions or topics. The theory is very rich. What I mean is that most theoretical questions you can ask about vector spaces and linear maps (or more abstractly, the linearity of a thing), are reducible to a matrix representation and Gaussian elimination.

You don't have to use Gaussian elimination, and I'm not arguing the course should become rote computation of matrices. There is a middle ground. For example if I hand you a linear map and ask you about the dimension of its range, you can identify a spanning set, refine that to a basis and you have your answer. You could also just take the rank of the matrix representing that linear map reduced to row echelon form. I don't think you lose much theory one way or the other.

But I could be wrong - if you have a specific example I'd be interested in hearing it. I've tried to declare front and center that I'm biased from learning linear algebra through Hoffman & Kunze. Halmos also grounded his (very theoretical) book in a generous use of matrices. Not covering matrices until later is a fairly recent development, and I think it's because (for reasons I've stated elsewhere) many professors don't distinguish between the rote computation of matrices and the rich theory of matrices.

That's assuming aliens prioritize profit. Perhaps they're technologically advanced and have everything they need, but have deeply internalized the logic of using preemptive strikes to protect themselves from potential future threats.

Such a strike might not even be that expensive or need FTL technology: just send out a few one-way nuclear-armed suicide drones at 0.12 c [1], via a path that obscures their origin (e.g. via a gravitational slingshot or three).

[1] Perhaps with a design like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Daedalus, https://www.damninteresting.com/the-daedalus-starship/, which is probably even within our technical capabilities. We also have weapon designs that could render the a planet uninhabitable (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_bomb).
It's a funny thing - manufacturers of products want to "stand out" from competition - so they use unique shaped containers for their products...

...the same is true for the container companies! The want to stand out from their competition - so they introduce new products (containers) with new shapes or sizes for that purpose.

While I am certain that some product manufacturers can dictate or have custom-shaped containers for their brand only, for many they just choose an off-the-shelf version and brand using labeling and/or color.

So - while going with standard-sized containers would be great for a whole host of reasons, for the product manufacturers - both for what is being contained, and the containers themselves - it presents a huge loss of profit and market share.

I'm not sure what we can do about this; it seems like something that would have to be dictated by government, because I doubt any of the other stakeholders (not even the consumers) will sway the decision toward standardized containers.

Soda cans (and for that matter, soup cans) are almost the only examples we have (ok - plastic milk jugs and paper milk cartons?), but as you have noticed, that's starting to fragment (it had already started with beer cans long before).
Also assumes there aren't a bunch of Earth-like worlds that are otherwise uninhabited that would be much easier to colonize than one with potentially hostile/poisonous natives.

The title seems like a bit of a misrepresentation of the content due to the particular definition they use in the report for a "smart home". The notion of smart home usually refers to home automation and recently to IoT [0]. But you will notice that the definition here is "having any kind of device that can be hacked, except computers and smartphones which won't be considered".

> The majority of connected devices users have at home are still computers and smartphones which connect via Wi-Fi through the home router. Excluding these three types of devices [...]

> Top ten smart home devices per country (excluding PCs, smartphones, and routers)

Having a router is enough to treat it as a "smart home" and it appears they are the most hacked device. IoT doesn't actually feature too prominently in the report, despite the title.

While his puzzle books obviously deserve a lot of praise, Smullyan's textbooks and papers definitely shouldn't be overlooked. There's a lot of wonderful gems to be found there.

Diagonalization and Self-Reference is the single book I would recommend the most to the HN crowd. There are a few sections on quotation and Quines that I've found endlessly useful, his 'Elementary Formal Systems' is my favorite presentation of computability, and there's a lot of really deep stuff in there about the interaction between incompleteness, uncomputability, and fixed-points.

Also, Logical Labyrinths is a pretty great textbook on formal logic. The first half is in the form of one of his puzzle books, introducing notions and building intuitions, while the second half builds off of them to provide a more formal perspective, while incidentally giving a kind of eye opening look at how he comes up with his puzzles and how they map to certain deeper properties of logic.

Orphan drugs are a great example. Back in the 1970's, there was no research into orphan diseases because the return on investment wasn't there. The Orphan Drug Act (in the US), combined with a tolerance for very high prices (hundreds of thousands of dollar per year) resulted in an explosion of research into orphan drugs.
Yet another sensitive database with probably no way to know if you're in it - GDPR sounds like a pain but I'm coming around to believing it's a necessary evil to stop this nonsense.

OTOH I guess this is relevant information and so they should be allowed to have it under GDPR rules? I'm obviously not a lawyer although my work, like most programmers' is affected by GDPR, PCI and whatnot.
Or how about this: find out that somebody's out there, but not evolved enough to be listening? This I find likely. Fixes Fermi paradox too, since this doesn't assume high probability of random life on some planet evolving as far as we did in those billions of years.

With regards to guns, I agree. We're a violent society that suffers violent crime and a violent response to crime. And I don't know how to untangle things other than to first appreciate the complexity of the situation.

I just think it's important to understand that ours is a rather unique culture. Arming oneself is a reasonable response given our cultural values, and I support Americans' right to own firearms for self-dense (albeit with more regulation than commonly required). I hesitate to say it's reasonable in light of our violent crime. Middle-class Americans suffer very little violent crime. The ones who suffer the most, such as in inner-city ghettos, are communities that most vociferously support gun control and the most skeptical of self-defense arguments. But in any event most other cultures take a polar opposite view--that even aggression in self-defense is to be disincentivized--and I appreciate that it's also reasonable.
I don't pay attention to any cars at all (other than my ancient Ford Ranger), but I still hear about Tesla. Advantage Tesla.

We're already sending out a signal into the cosmos (and one more powerful than the radar signals others have mentioned)- the recent sharp upswing in CO2 over the last hundred or so years [0] would look markedly artificial, which combined with the presence of oxygen (which wouldn't stay in the atmosphere if it weren't continually renewed) strongly indicates at least a complex ecosystem, if not directly implicating an industrial civilization. Detecting light reflected from exoplanets is something we can already do, or nearly so, so we can count on this being detectable from large distances by alien civilizations with access to potentially megastructure-scale space telescopes. At that point, any reasonably curious or concerned ETs could send a probe to get a closer look.

Earth, as far as we know, is an unusual planet, and obviously so. Either we're wrong, and there's Earths all over the place, or we're alone, or ET has been keeping an eye on us for a long time already; that we're "hidden" is hard to imagine.

>Chrome's appeal was primarily technical. Each tab got its own process and could crash without taking down the entire browser. No one else had this at the time, and it was a big deal because Flash was still widespread so sites were even less stable than they are today.

Actually IE8 had the same thing (and it was in development by 2007, so the few-months-later release date vs Chrome doesn't matter in terms of architecture).
There exists aluminum bottles - Coke at one time sold their soda in them (I think it was some kind of commemorative edition or something like that).

That would have the same benefit as bottles: The ability to drink only part of the contents (like people do with water). The downside is that you can't see what is inside (an important factor for many people when they purchase - especially water).
> Breakable weapons was the biggest demotivator to me.

It's an interesting situation—breakable weapons has the greatest impact at the beginning of the game, when you haven't yet found sources for your favorite weapons. On the other hand, it has the least gameplay impact at the start of the game, since the weapons that you find early on are weak, uninteresting, and easily replaceable.

So like I get what they were going for, but I don't think they hit the mark with the mechanic; it's most annoying when it matters the least, and by the end of the game, when you've got your katanas and glowing chainsaw swords and whatnot, it barely matters at all.

> Wind Waker has a dungeon with 100 levels of enemies, and it's actually fun to start the game up just to play through that.

Breath of the Wild has a similar dungeon in the DLC, and actually the breakable weapons makes it even more interesting. You lose all of your weapons at the start, so you can't just take in your favorites, you have to improvise and make do with what you can scavenge as you go along. You also don't need to worry about saving your best weapons because you can't, as you'll need them all, and what you have left at the end of the dungeon will disappear anyway. Or when you lose; I'll admit I haven't beaten it yet.

Well, in suburban & rural areas where there isn't recycling & yard waste service or uptake is limited, sending trash through a sorting plant isn't the worst idea. Cardboard and metal can be separated out, reducing the overall bulk of the trash.
Well, they probably chose the tech stack so they can either help with the hiring process or the training process.
Why is that? Note that when I mention the dimension theorem, I'm actually referring to the fundamental rank-nullity theorem.

To be more clear, what I was suggesting is to take the section on rank, toss that into the section on matrices, and then toss that into the section on Gaussian elimination (preceding vector spaces). That's useful because the rank of a coefficient matrix tells you the nature of the solution space of the corresponding system.

Then when you cover the rank-nullity theorem in the chapter on linear maps, you'll have the context of 1) what rank means in a matrix, and 2) what rank means in a linear map. That sets up a deeper understanding of how to verify the rank-nullity theorem for any linear map by finding the rank and the nullity using the basic and free variables of the reduced row echelon matrix.
