Awww… I’m a supernerd? Thank yoooooou ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I always considered myself to be kind of an average run-of-the-mill nerd.

This news gives me confidence that fusion is now only 9 years away.

Interested but actually not enough to be bothered checking for myself…

Context matters.

If you can’t tell the difference between nudity and sexual content, maybe it’s time you cut back on the jerking off.

Yes, because it was just going to turn into pornhub v2.

Fucking on the money. (actually… literally)

There’s a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I’m exhausted by people like you pretending there isn’t and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.

Exactly.

Autopilot is only TACC+Lane-Assist

TIL

I don’t think AI will ever be able to account for context; like ‘black friday sales are on and the general trend on the road is a lot of fuckery, so I’ll drive extra extra carefully today’

I, for one, have been trained by corporations and news agencies to react impulsively and without any deeper consideration for decades now.

It’s just corps being corps. Even the guy who literally gave 10,000 people AIDS didn’t get jail time. The Dropbox execs will be lucky to get anything more severe than a bouquet and a box of chocolates. We all know that, and no amount of demanding will do jack shit. Only your wallet has a voice that gets heard.

Had no idea about earlier charges.

Some hilarious highlights:

He bought stolen phone card account information from American hackers. After setting up premium toll chat lines in Hong Kong and in the Caribbean, he used a “war dialer” program to call the lines using the stolen card numbers—ringing up €61,000 in ill-gained profits.

In 1998, he was convicted of 11 counts of computer fraud, 10 counts of data espionage, and an assortment of other charges. He received a two-year suspended sentence—because, at just 20, he was declared “under age” at the time the crimes were committed.

In January 2001, LetsBuyIt was close to bankruptcy. Schmitz bought 375,000 euros in the company’s shares — and then announced he was preparing to invest an additional 50 million Euros. The news hit the market, and the stock price of LetsBuyIt surged. Schmitz cashed out, making a profit of €1.5 million.

Reductionist. He is a ‘felon’ because he hosted a service that was used heavily for piracy. Not because he was robbing banks or shooting people.

I have no idea what this is about, can you explain?

EDIT: Oh it wasn’t that hard to find

Is… is Dropbox… pirating user files???

It’s mechanical, so each atom is pushing against the ones immediately next to it, and so on, until other end moves.

It would be interesting to work out how much a metal bar the length of our solar system would compress when you push it…

You can’t send information with entangled particles. You just learn the state of the other particle by inference when you observe the first particle.

This is a great analogy. Consider it stolen pirated.

My first thought was ‘no shit’ as well. There’s a horrible heartbreaking anime about that… Voices of a Distant Star.

other forces … can transmit information at speeds >c

I sadly disagree. Even if we figure out a way to instantaneously transport ourselves across the universe, there will be some shitty clause in fine-print that says we can’t go back, or it took 0 time for us but 1 billion years for everything else.
