Just like the advertising model. Pay us with subscription money, or pay us with all the data we can scrape from you.

Especially for a glorified ticketing system and wiki. There are multiple open source options that work just as well… and don’t spy on you. May I suggest BugZilla and TWiki?

Per Wikipedia, emphasis mine:

toxicology has been intensively examined. “The inertness of silicones toward warmblooded animals has been demonstrated in a number of tests.” With an LD50 in rats of >50 g/kg, they are virtually nontoxic. Questions remain however about chronic toxicity or the consequences of bioaccumulation since siloxanes can be long-lived.

foolish to automatically assume that a pollutant is harmful until it is proven

No offense but please tell me you do not have any regulatory responsiblity.

Depends on how they are produced

From the article:

no one has ever done this before, even in animals.

Infinity is not a number . (oblig. Numberphile)

Came here with this exact quote in my copy buffer. OMFG what you expect to be a terminal is actually remotely executing scripts? And there was a security issue , you say?!?!

Even just throwing tater tots into the air fryer makes 'em crispy on the outside with zero use of oil. About as healthy as you can eat potatoes and as easy as a microwave. Love it.

Mosquito magnet

Expensive to buy. Expensive and fiddly to run. But boy, does it totally destroy mosquito populations!

Especially if you start it up from the moment of Spring thaw… catch the very first females as they reach reproductive maturity. Breaks the population cycle. Love it.

Time Bandits

You absolutely need the original cast. But you also need modern special effects.

Simple vector addition, really

I wish the article did a better job

While it’s true that the entire software field are bad at what we do … it’s also true that “science journalism” is shamefully often a contradiction

“Bibles, back of the store. Next to the sportswear aisle.”

he specifically requested the opposite of that

This. Anyone interested in quantum computing owes it to themselves to watch this Caltech conference keynote:

Quantum Computing: Reality vs. Hype - John Preskill

Exec summary: For QC to “break RSA”, we need 7-8 orders of magnitude more physical qbits than we had in 2019.

Error correction cleverness and better controls have knocked down 3-4 of those. Which is impressive. Now just 1,000x - 100,000x more improvement needed. When you hear a QC advance, remember the questions are

• how many logical qbits? (error correction is a bitch)

• how long to get data into/out of the QC? (actually a major issue)

In the space of less than a second my eyes & brain took in that Trump says “least attractive”, saw the woman’s picture and registered, “milf”

Curiouser and curiouser!
