When our species has become extinct, is there anything that would survive long enough to tell the next intelligent species to arise that we were a technological civilization?
  • That layer will also include, worldwide, levels of radioisotopes that do not occur naturally. The same way that there is an Iridium layer on the soils of 65MYA showing the asteroids that killed the dinosaurs, the current sediments being laid down have traces of plutonium and other materials that will exist until the sun becomes a red giant and swallow the Earth.

  • Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.
  • What most people fail to realize, though, is that if you used time stop to sleep you would certainly have more productive hours "awake" -- but at the cost of reducing your remaining life span in the time-wise world by one third. You'd still be aging while you sleep.

  • Federated wireguard network idea

  • ‘Modern cars are a privacy nightmare,’ the worst Mozilla’s seen
  • The impact of our cars, though significant, is far outstripped by global shipping (those container ships aren't carbon-neutral), power generation (EV cars gotta get their power from somewhere), or the simple burning of rain forests to make room for cattle or crops.

    It takes energy to smelt steel and aluminum and build a car, or to mine Rare Earth Minerals needed for the latest tech.

    Driving and old car that you maintain, repair, and keep out of the junkyard is far more environmentally sound. So far. Hoping that balance will change in near decades.

  • Hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow plans system to encrypt social media and other apps
  • "Oom," I say, "Oom." Good to see the cDc putting out software again; the name is a wonderful play on the words "veiled" and "valid." I'm excited to see what gets built for Veilid after details of the protocol are re-veal-ed at DefCon. ;-)
