i want to read the evidence, i presume it will be public?

thank you, could you cite your refs please?

i need to know about this, i think.

what are my options for protecting myself from DNS hijack?

is this method employed by any other software, outside of Chrome?

is there a better method of detecting hijacks?

is there any other method of detecting hijacks?

the path length is not constant, however the latency delta is a function of the orbits of the satellites currently carrying the user signal, and should be easy to calculate.

i presume this would depend on starlink being smart enough make and report the calculations.

i get 600 and 700ms round trip times, over xplornet satellite, pinging google.com

it's not just the thread, the articles only hint at the efficiency, however please understand that anything which allows us to capture electricity and store it efficiently is valuable.

batteries are not at all efficient, they are heavy and bulky and have limited life.

if we can turn electricity into a fuel we can burn is way more efficient in terms of weight and bulk and storage life.

these factors tend to mitigate how inefficient the actual conversion process might be.

this process appears to consume no rare materials, and the catalysts are reported to have good working life, it also runs at low temperatures and pressures, so can be pulsed efficiently, in response to supply...

it all looks quite good, to me.

mark my words - this work, and similar, contains the answer.

meantime i'm wondering if the old slashdot audience have moved on, somewhere more sensible.

this place is like the slow class, now, full of people trying to be funny, and it's exhausting to read.

which might explain why i didn't, and went and read the article, instead.

if there are any intelligent commenters in here, i'm sorry i missed you.

"Tiny bubbles of gas trapped inside that meteorite have exactly the same composition as the atmosphere of Mars, so we know our rock came from there."

this is not a scientist talking, this is hardly more than wishful thinking.

more accurately stated, the odds are better than none that "our" rock came from Mars.

is the slashverse full of giddy children, these days?

materials science observes and classifies solids by the forms they break into.

these forms are myriad.

according to the slash (have not read the article) the authors results are based on two computer simulations and one trip to a single dolomite mountain.

this is not research, this is rubbish - throw the bums out, they are wasting resources.

oops, undo, undo - your point is well made, however i think you misunderstand the point.

electrons represent single bits, binary.

light carries a great deal more information.

i think, not my field this.

at the speed of light - please read the article.

the use of optics to calculate vector maths, etc, has massive potential.

as the article concludes, a lot of our data is already from optical sources.

this is not binary data, and will never be completely rendered as such, there is always a loss, an approximation, and the output data is massive, and takes enormous work and resources to compress, store and transmit.

to date our global conscience, what google wants to call our world brain, our connected network, has been fumbling in the dark, representing sight by numbers, and appreciating it by arduous calculation, like a blind person, unable to actually see the images, only able to describe them.

now, given the ability to compute optically, directly, our global network will have sight.

this will be interesting, very.
